"Kieran, let him go." Alina said, trying to intervene. Kieran and Clarissa, mates. The vampire Lord had been keeping things from her. But mates or not Clarissa wouldn't tolerate Kieran harming her friend.
Kieran was not moved. "When he's clear on what I said I'll do just that."
Leonard's eyes were full of hatred for him and he spoke with a raspy voice which hurt him. "You don't deserve her. After whatever it was you did to her, she's probably had enough Clarissa will be going back with me."
Kieran's hold tightened. "And what makes you think I'll let you. I'm never letting her leave here. In fact, she wouldn't have to leave if you were dead."
"Actually she would. " Alina said. "You two have spent enough time together to know her friends are the most important to her. You hurt them and whatever it was that made her lose her mind will be child's play. Stop doing things that will tear you both apart even more."
