Mark clenched his hands, digging his nails into his palms. Why was this bitch so clever, he asked himself. How had she seen right through him?
He cleared his throat, "Marriage is a complicated affair, especially when two noble families are involved. You are not from a privileged background like ours, so you don't understand. An ordinary, unattractive human woman. What does Elias see in you? That assassin should have done a better job."
Elias's claws came out.
Sienna quickly grabbed his hand. "Not worth it."
He growled.
Sienna shook her head, "Elias, claws and fangs away."
He looked at her for a few seconds, and did as she said.
Mark's eyes widened. Elias was not known for backing down once he unleashed his claws and got into battle mode. How could he do so after a command from this human woman?
A fork sailed through the air, hitting Mark's chest. "Bad man, you want my mama to die." Ali screamed. "Papa, Eli, beat him."
