Marcy was never so humiliated!
Talia showed a scandalous video featuring Marcy, and Talia ridiculed her, and even held her down. How can Marcy accept that?
And what did George do? Nothing!
Marcy interpreted George's lack of reaction as a feeling of guilt. Surely, he must realize his incompetency when he just stood there and did nothing.
"What's the use of you being here if you won't act when someone attacks me?", Marcy hissed at the non-responsive George while waving her arms wildly. "You think that you are someone because my father made you a commander? Wait until I tell him how useless you are!"
George was lost in a daze of his emotions that clashed against his thoughts, and he barely registered that Marcy was shouting at him.
He didn't see the video, but the sounds coming from Talia's phone were quite descriptive and he had a good idea of what was going on.
Marcy said that her pussy belongs to Alpha Damon. She asked him to fuck her, and she was quite explicit about it, more than she was with George.
George was confident that he took Marcy's virginity, and he thought it meant something. However, the vagina was just one of the holes on Marcy's body, and George realized that her other cavities were explored by someone else.
No wonder Marcy gave him such a good blow job. She knew what she was doing.
And he thought it was special because it was her first time. He was such an idiot!
George was drowning in disappointment, rage, and he ridiculed himself for being stupid and believing that Marcy cared about him and their bond. She played him for a fool, and he allowed it to happen.
"Don't ignore me, you imbecile!"
Marcy's shout pulled George out of his thoughts.
She was standing only two steps away and glaring daggers his way.
George's eyes narrowed at Marcy as all his emotions mixed and morphed into disgust.
Why would the Moon Goddess pair him with such a woman?
Mates should be each other's half, but Marcy rejected him on the spot because she saw him as unworthy.
George wondered, is that what he deserved? To live without his other half?
Before he met Marcy, he was doing just fine!
Surely, life without a mate can't be as bad as what he was going through at that moment. Actually, since George found out that Marcy was his mate, his life turned into hell.
George took a step toward Marcy and she raised her head to meet his gaze. Marcy was so embarrassed and angry after her confrontation with Talia that she didn't notice how George's mood was not right.
"Marcy Redmayne", George spoke in an official tone. "I George Shaw, Alpha of the Frostcrest pack, accept your rejection."
Marcy's eyes widened for a moment.
'What was that? Did he say he is an Alpha?'
Before she could process what just happened, a soul-wrecking pain shook Marcy's internal organs and she fell on the floor with a weak shriek.
The Moon Goddess ensured that fated mates can't harm each other.
Marcy's rejection cracked the bond and allowed negativity to seep in.
With George's acceptance of Marcy's rejection, the final threads of their bond snapped and Marcy felt George's furious Alpha aura hitting her full force. She couldn't breathe.
George was not spared from the repercussion of his actions.
The bond works both ways, for better or worse, but he was stronger than Marcy, so he managed to stay on his feet.
George clutched his chest and stumbled out of the living room. He supported himself on the wall while making his way down the hallway.
The pain of completely breaking their bond was unbearable, but George was determined to put as much as possible distance between himself and Marcy.
Damon emerged from the trees while walking in large strides toward the packhouse. He could feel Talia's emotions.
Irritable, displeased, furious, vengeful, upset, disappointed.
Her emotions were fluctuating faster than he could identify them, and even though nothing seemed to point how Talia was in danger, Damon was in a hurry to find her.
Damon was surprised to see Talia sitting on the stairs in front of the main entrance with her face hidden in her palms.
Talia regretted her actions. Why couldn't she just ignore Marcy's words and leave that room? Why did she taunt Marcy? Why did she show her the video?
It felt good at that time to see Marcy squirm helplessly, but now that the heated emotions were settled, Talia worried if her few minutes of satisfaction will cause trouble for Damon and the Dark Howlers pack.
If Marcy tells her father that she was mistreated, who knows what Alpha Edward will do?
Things could escalate quickly, and then what? How will Talia explain this to Damon?
Talia knew that Damon was strong and that the Dark Howlers pack had many powerful warriors, but she also knew that Damon had a good reason to tiptoe around Marcy instead of rejecting her outright.
Provoking the Red Moon pack will come with unimaginable consequences, and by coming onto Marcy aggressively, Talia did just that.
Ah, she messed up!
"Kitten?", Damon called, and Talia's head snapped to look in his direction.
After a moment of stillness, Talia bolted on her feet and dashed straight into Damon's embrace.
She took a moment to inhale her favorite scent of the forest and the dark chocolate and to feel Damon's firm body pressing on her, but she liked the most his solid arms that held her with a sense of safety and belonging.
"Maya had a plan, and I ruined it.", Talia spoke into his chest.
"It's OK.", Damon said while rubbing Talia's back gently.
He didn't know what happened. The last thing he saw was that Talia and Marcy were talking in the living room, and he stopped watching the feed once he was on his way to the packhouse. He missed the whole conflict part, but based on Talia's emotions, he knew that something happened and that Talia's gentle heart was in turmoil.
Damon wanted to assure her that he's got her back, and to comfort her. Details can come later.
Talia shook her head. "It's not OK. Maya, Kalina, and Mindy made a plan to handle Marcy. I was supposed to stay in the role of your assistant so that Marcy gets overconfident and trips, but then Marcy said that she will be your Luna and how I'm replaceable, and… I lost it."
"Did you use your powers?", Damon whispered close to Talia's ear.
When Talia shook her head, indicating that she didn't, Damon grinned. "You lost it? Tell me the details. Did you slap her?"
Talia looked up at him. "Be serious. This is serious."
'Silly girl', Damon thought. The only serious thing would be if outsiders found out how amazing she is. Everything else fades in comparison to that.
"I know it's serious.", Damon said earnestly. "Some random woman claimed me as hers, and my kitten defended my honor. That's serious. My only regret is that I was not here to witness it in person."
