After having an argument with your alpha husband, you went to live in another mansion a few days to give both of yourselves time to cool off.

A day later you barely escaped…...from someone who barged into the house and rushed back to your shared mansion, hiding in Joseph's chest with teary eyes. Joseph's grip on your chin tightened. He studied your expression, his eyes roaming over your face.

Joseph's gaze lingered on your neck, and he noticed something that made his heart skip a beat.

You're wearing a high-neck coat which was torn, but under the thick material, he could make out...Marks.

Bite marks.

Joseph's lips thinned. This set off a spark of anger inside him. He felt... something. A hint of scent intertwined with yours.

Another alpha. Someone tried to mark you and laid their filthy hands on you.

He inhaled deeply, his anger flaring as the scent of another alpha dared to mingle with yours. With a low growl, Joseph's eyes were fierce as he glowered down at you.

"Who." He spoke, his voice low and authoritative.

"Who marked you? Who put their hands on you, babe? Answer me."

"J-Jacob-! H-he-!" You managed, holding his shirt tearfully and a hand carrying your 7 month baby bump.

The alpha's eyes widened.

Shock. Anger. Confusion. Then pure feral rage.

His own brother?

He gritted his teeth, and his grip on your waist tightened. His mind was reeling. His twin brother, his own blood relative, marked his omega husband. His brother had laid his hands, his lips... on you.

The idea is revolting and absolutely unacceptable. He should've seen it coming. Jacob had always been a little too friendly towards you…Joseph noticed the way his brother's gaze lingered on your face, the way Jacob's eyes would follow you across the room.

He had dismissed it, thought it was just a case of his brother being an idiot. But now... seeing those bite marks on your neck makes him sick. His eyes flicked back to you.

The realisation that his own family betrayed him.

It made him want to tear something apart.

H-he tried to claim me and our unborn pup! Joseph! Jacob's coming-!
