Adrian stood frozen in a haze of shock, unable to believe what he was seeing; Naomi, Ash's best friend and his junior, locked in a kiss with his so-called wife, Celeste.
A faint growl of Alpha fury rose within him as he took a few heavy steps forward. Naomi felt the weight of his dominant presence instantly-her knees buckled, and she dropped, trembling. Celeste flinched but stood her ground.
Adrian's sharp eyes cut toward her, his voice thunderous. "Junior, what's the meaning of this?"
Naomi, shaking, opened her mouth to speak, but before she could utter a word, Celeste interrupted, blurting, "I seduced her! I asked her to kiss me because I was craving an Alpha dominance!"
Adrian stared at her, disbelief flashing across his face. Celeste seemed almost too confident, too ready to justify herself. Knowing she might say more foolish things in front of Naomi, he released the pressure of his aura and gestured for Naomi to leave.
