30 minutes Earlier;
Shawn stepped into the Barloy mansion, his eyes silently scanning through the crowd of people. Honestly, he wasn't in the mood for parties, but Mike had told him that it wouldn't be right to not at least show up at Senator Barloy's party. Shawn had a lot of respect for the man who was over six hundred years old. Anthony and his father were very close friends back when he was alive. So Shawn felt entitled to come to the party.
All Shawn wanted to do right now was to go find his mate. Damn! He wondered if he was still eligible to call her that.
She fucking misunderstood everything. But could he blame her? Mike literally asked if he was regretting having her as his mate. Of course Emily would think he was having second thoughts. He should cut off Mike's tongue for spouting nonsense.
Was he regretting having Emily as his mate? No way! Not even the devil could make him regret meeting Emily in any way.
