Blaze didn’t talk to me on the way to our suite, his anger returning and sizzling.
He’d let go of my hand, despite him wanting to hold me and touch me.
Iokul and Rai, both in their armor, jogged toward us from the other direction. They were probably off duty and taking a break. They smiled at me, eyes sparkling and heated, until they saw the boiling tension between their brother and me.
Blaze stormed into our room, and I followed quietly. Rai and Iokul entered after us, and Iokul closed the door behind him.
Rai frowned. “What’s wrong?”
Blaze and I kept quiet. The mask-free parts of his face were red with jealous rage, and mine was probably more than defiant and a bit cold—an attempt to cover my guilt.
I’d been caught, but why should I feel ashamed? Elvey, after all, was also my mate!
“What happened?” Iokul asked.
“Daisy and Elvey were eye-fucking each other when I bumped into them,” Blaze spat. “If I didn’t stop them, who knew what would have come of it! She might just cheat on us with him.”
My face reddened in anger and humiliation.
Rai narrowed his eyes on Blaze. “Take care when you talk to our mate. Some words once said can never be unsaid. If you wronged her—”
Blaze snorted. “If you choose to be so blind, so be it. Ask her yourself.”
I clenched my fists at my sides, but I didn’t utter a word.
“Daisy?” Rai asked, his tone soft and lethal.
Was this going to turn into an interrogation? I didn’t owe them any explanations.
Rai sighed in resignation, and his hurt got me.
“I sought out Elvey,” I said. “I wanted to check on him and Rosalinda.”
“Our Daisy is good at finding excuses,” Blaze said.
My face burned hot, and I wanted to punch his masked face. For the first time, I didn’t feel sorry for him having to wear the mask every day.
I held back my anger. I didn’t want to say or do anything I might regret later. And I hated this friction between us. It bruised me.
“That’s enough, Blaze,” Iokul warned.
“Aren’t we enough for you, Daisy?” Blaze kept at it. “You already have three mates, and we each get only one. We don’t seek other women for pleasure. We were all devoted to you.”
He used the past tense. Had I lost him already? My heart tore.
“How many men do you want?” he demanded, his voice lashing out at me like a slash of a blade. “I understood when you couldn’t choose between us because of your curse. Now your curse is gone, and you still pine for another man.”
I shut my eyes as pain rammed into me.
I shouldn’t want Elvey. I shouldn’t make my mates unhappy. They all wanted me and cherished me, and they met my every need.
But Elvey—my heart yearned for him. I’d tried to fight his pull, but if I didn’t have him, I would never feel complete.
He drew me in just as equally strong as my other mates.
Before Sphinx confirmed that Elvey was also my fated mate, I’d thought it was my fault that I wanted him. I’d scolded and berated myself whenever Elvey slipped into my mind.
I didn’t feel this kind of attraction toward any other male, just for my three mates and Elvey.
