---- 6. MASON "T met your little human." Lucas stiffened . "I told you to stay away from her." "Why?" I walked around the desk and smirked at him. "Are you going to keep me from getting to know my mate?" His head snapped up, wide eyes locking with mine. " I'm sorry, I don't think I heard you." My smirk widened . "I said you can't keep me from getting to know my mate." "Impossible," he growled. "Not impossible," I muttered. "Just very rare." His eyes narrowed.
I held out my hand to stop whatever he was about to say. I felt for him. After years of searching for his mate and not finding her, he had to marry a woman he didn't love. And now, four years later , his mate finally landed in his lap. Only he couldn't have her. But just because he couldn't have her, I wasn't going to let the opportunity slip out of my fingers. I wanted ---- her, human or not. She was mine. Ours.
"T told you to stay away from her," Lucas growled as he stepped out behind his desk. "It was an order." "You may be king, but that does not mean that you have the right to order me about, brother ." I stood taller when he stopped in front of me. "I didn't seek her out, we met by accident." He frowned. "You should have told her about the hounds." His eyes darkened. "Was she hurt?" "Luckily no." I turned away from him and walked over to the window.

"She got lost." Lucas blew out a breath, but he remained silent. My eyes darted around the palace grounds until they locked on the woman I had been searching for. Angel was busy in the garden today, racking dead leaves. There were already two bags filled with leaves leaning against the wall. When she was done with that, she would have to drag the bags to the back where they would be used for compost. My brows dipped into a frown as I watched one of the guards approach her.
Stepping closer to the window, I opened it a few inches and turned so I could use my ---- dragon hearing. "Pl take those bags for you," the guard said. "Finish with that one and then head inside. It's time for lunch." "Thank you," Angel said softly. The guard picked up the bags and easily carried them away. Angel stared after him for a few seconds and then shook her head. Letting out a low sigh, she started picking up the leaves again.
"You asked one of your men to keep an eye on her?" I asked my brother. Lucas didn't answer. I glanced at him to find him standing by the other window, staring down at her. "you want her." It wasn't a question. Not that it mattered because he didn't utter a word. Turning away from the window, he walked back over to the desk and took a seat. "The portal disappeared," he muttered. "We have another portal that opened near the north. Nobody has come through it." "Yet," I said what he didn't want to. "You have men keeping an eye on things?" He nodded.
