Chapter 79

Scarlett’s POV

Clay’s playful words echoed in my mind. “Hmmm, I guess you’ll have to convince Lucían because he is losing his mind.” I glanced over to where Lucian sat, his gaze fixed intently on us, a mix of protectiveness and simmering jealousy in his eyes. Sensing the moment, Clay and I danced toward him, and Clay gently let me go, leaving me in Lucian’s arms.

“I hope you’re ready, because I’ll need all my energy to keep up,” I teased, smiling up at him.

Lucian’s growl was low, possessive, and unmistakably jealous. “And what was all that with our guest?” he asked, pulling me close, his voice holding a note of frustration.

“That was me being your Luna and a gracious host,” I said, resting my head against his chest as his arms wrapped around me protectively.

He sighed, his grip tightening. “He gives me the creeps,” he muttered, his words sending a small shiver through me.
