Razen’s jaw tightened, and irritation flashed in his eyes before he stood and walked into the bathing room.
I got up from the bed and went to the kitchen for water.
As I stepped inside, I leaned against the counter, breathing slowly to calm the storm inside me.
Then I heard his heavy steps behind me.
“You have been acting strange all day, Nivella,” Razen said, his tone sharp. “If something is wrong, say it.”
I turned to face him, keeping my face steady. “I already told you. I’m fine. No need to worry about me. Why don’t you go check on Navielle and her pup instead?”
His eyes darkened as his jaw clenched. “What do you mean by that?”
I shrugged and moved away from the counter. “Nothing. Just that you seem more concerned about her than your own mate.”
His patience snapped. “You are being unreasonable again, Nivella. Navielle is your sister. Stop this pupish jealousy.”
I rolled my eyes. “I am not jealous. You two suit each other.”
“Enough,” he growled, and suddenly his hand shoved me hard.
My back hit the edge of the counter, and pain shot through me. I gasped as I lost balance.
I fell, my stomach striking the floor as a sharp cry left my lips.
