Earlier that morning…
A sudden rush of fury exploded inside Darius, rousing him from his sleep in a shock. However, he didn't open his eyes as he felt how Nicholai rose from next to him. The lesser Alpha would act cute in waking up, but he felt the heat coming from Nicholai's glare as he glanced at his mate. Nicholai then rolled off the big bed and started putting on his clothes.
At this, Darius popped both eyes open and sat up as well, not seeing Nicholai react to the fact that he was also awakened. "Hey, what's up with that? Why are you glaring at me so early in the…? Shit, what's that smell? It's like the flowers are rotting!"
