dare you even look at her!" Sallack roars at a smug Richard.
    "Oh please," Richard remarks then throws his hand to the side, causing Sallack's back to slam into the wall.
    Rushing to his side, I check over his large frame for any injuries before facing Richard with rage in my eyes.
    "Go Richard! There is nothing for you here. Why must you cause trouble where ever you go? You have what you want."
    He steps up to me with a mischievous grin.
    "He came to me for a fight, that's what I gave him. I'm all about pleasing people," he remarks sarcastically.
    "You provoked him! Richard, don't do this here," I ask with an angry plea.
    "I'm staying here Zara, you owe me that much!"
    Fighting back my emotions, I turn back to Sallack and take his hand in mine, whilst looking him in the eye, silently demanding him to look at me and only me.
    "Please can we go? If he wants to stay then let him. I need you with me tonight Sallack."
    "Fuck it! But as soon as he looks at someone the wrong way, I will release my Wolf on him," he tells me with a wave of power.
    "I don’t doubt th at.” I say dragging him away from Richard.
     
    Sitting in the VIP area with the Brothers’, and now Dallah and Angus, we chat and drink together, well they do, I sit and watch Ruk giving his orders.
    Seeing him standing on the dance floor scanning the room for trouble, I take the time to walk over to him, leaving the Brothers’ without a word.
    Sliding to stand before him, I hold out my hand to him, asking him to dance with me, and with a stunning grin he places his big warm hand in mine.
    Taking us further into the crowd of dancers, I turn to him and take his arms, and place them around my middle while I dance slowly with him as close as I can get.
    His eyes turn intense when I lace my arms around his middle but slowly drop to the top of his butt.
    "What are you doing?" He asks in jagged breaths.
    "Dancing," I tell him sadly, but simply.
    "This is wrong you ’re with Sallack!" he reminds me before removing himself from me and turning to walk away.
    Taking hold of his wrist, I turn him to face me again and speak gently,
    "Do you sleep with her?"
    "What! Who, Mary? She's my mate Zara, why would you ask that."
    Begging myself to not throw-up on him, I close my eyes to the nightmare image of the two of them in a state of passion.
    "I haven't slept with her yet," he admits.
    Oh thank god, I can't deal with the thought of Ruk with another, but then I can hardly blame him, he doesn't know what is truth, and what is the result of a messed up devil.
    "Why do you look pale, are you ok?"
    "No, yeah, I'm..." Taking a deep breath I look at him with a weak smile, "fine, I'm fine."
    "Really?"
    No! I'm not, you said you would never hurt me, and here I am being fucking hurt, by the news of your mating with another!!! That's what I want to reply, but I don't, I can't.
    Nodding my head to him, the vomit in my throat begs for realise when Mary walks up to him and sticks her tongue down his throat.
    Just when my heart was broken, she had to come and stomp on it some more, mauling my mate right in front of me the skank!
    Turning away before she has the satisfaction of seeing me crumble, I somehow managed to walk back across the room blinded by tears not stopping till I reach the back wall, banging my fist against it in frustration.
     
    Last night and today, have been the most upsetting time of my life, every emotion has been used, and every hope and dream lost, again. Then I get this chance to save Ruk, only to watch from the sidelines why he loves another, tricked into mating with a psycho bitch.
    "He hurts you, but you still want him?" Richard expresses whilst gazing at Ruk and Mary who are now dancing together.
    "Leave me," I ask in such a sad tone that I don't recognise it as my own.
    "I'll leave," he nods his head to me, and just like that he has gone, disappeared.
     
    "Have you seen him," Dallah ’s voice calls out from behind me.
    "He's gone," I tell her knowing she means
