NovelEnglishHe was also furious withfor letting it get to this point. He never liked Shirley and now he hated her even more for driving our wife away. "Is Shirley really your mate?" That snappedback to the present moment; my eyes glared at him, and I knew my wolf could be seen through the windows of my eyes. "What the fuck are you talking about, Marco?" Marco narrowed his eyes atand held up his hands like he was trying to settle a rabid animal... or an angry wolf.
"Woah, I'm just asking about what I heard from the mouth of your soon-to-be ex," he said, talking slowly and trying to calm my temper. "Shirley told her that you were mates and that you should divorce. I just wanted to know if it was true." "What??" I asked, I wasn't able to comprehend what he was saying. Shirley said what to her? No.... Shirley wouldn't have said that to her.
Would she? I thought back to all the stupid and cruel things Shirley had done since she's been back in town. Druggingand lying about Silver giving her permission to do so, all the cruel names she's called Silver, and how she's been trying to getto break up with her since she found out that we were married.
Shirley absolutely had enough balls to do something like this... but I thought I made it clear to her that nothing would ever happen between us.

But as your friend who doesn't want to see you lose your marriage and a friend to her because I know she doesn't want to lose you either, if it's not true, you need to set things straight. So, I'm asking you... is it true? Is Shirley your true mate?" "Alpha, if it's true. Then divorce Silver and let her," Mariah whispered, lowering her gaze to the ground, defeated. She looked as if I had just kicked a puppy.
I couldn't believe she would actually think I had found my mate and that it was Shirley, and I wouldn't tell her about it. I was so numb from the fact that Silver was filing for a divorce, that I couldn't even go to Mariah to comfort her and assure her that I would never keep something like this from her. I sure as hell wouldn't lead Silver on like this.
"No," I said sharply, keeping my eyes locked on Mariah who tensed at the forcefulness of my tone. She lifted her gaze to look into mine and I knew she could see the sincerity in my eyes. My wolf was calming now that he knew what the misunderstanding was; it meant we still had a chance to set things right. "Shirley is not my mate and I refuse to entertain the idea of it." She looked relieved to hear that and I looked back at Marco.
"I'm not signing those goddamn papers," I told him, handing them back to him.
He took them immediately.
"I didn't think you would. But you should know, she's willing to sue for a divorce," he said, raising his brows at me. "She was pretty broken when she left and even if you do set the record straight with her, it might not be enough." "I won't divorce her," I said with finality.
"She toldthis marriage was just a contact. Something is tellingit's more than that though," Marco said with a smirk.
Goddammit, was there anything she hadn't told him? What was her relationship with Marco? I now know he's her best friend's cousin, but was there more going on between them than that? Has there ever been? The green-eyed monster was very evident in my eyes; I was sure of it. I swallowed him down, knowing now was not the tto show my possessive side.
"I need to find her," I said, turning and walking away.
"Why is this so important to you?" Mariah asked, causingto freeze. "If you're just going to keep hurting that sweet girl. Just leave her-" "I won't leave her because I-" love her. The words almost slipped from my lips so easily but thankfully I managed to stop them.
