I shook off the grim memory and shifted my attention back to Ashton and Tiana, who were now lying on the couch again. This time, though, they weren't just cuddling—they were absurdly shameless, already making out.
I watched as Ashton aggressively kissed my sister's lips, his kisses trailing down her neck and then lower, to her chest. Tiana moaned as Ashton began unbuttoning her pack warrior uniform and unstrapping her bra, exposing her rounded breasts, which he immediately began to caress.
Maybe they can't even give me even the slightest respect, considering I'm his mate and her sister.
So maybe it's time for me to stop respecting them as well.
Disgusted and enraged, I grabbed the golden scissors from my pocket and threw them toward Tiana, narrowly missing her exposed chest.
I watched her shocked reaction as she clung to Ashton even more, whining like a child. "She's trying to harm me, Ashton!"
I shifted my glare to Ashton, making sure to keep my expression stoic. "Cut my damn hair—now."
In the Fire Heart Pack, this symbolic act signifies a desire to break the mating bond.
Kathryn's Point of View
Ashton grabbed the scissors and tossed them aside, his gaze dark. Before stepping toward me, he took a moment to cover Tiana's body.
It's ironic to see someone like him being so tender.
"You've always wanted to end our mating bond, haven't you?" I challenged, my voice low and steady. "You've always wanted Tiana instead of me. So here's your chance, Ashton. I'm giving you the freedom to do it. Cut my hair."
He moved closer, his eyes narrowing, jaw clenched tight. Then, he aggressively wrapped his hand around my neck, holding me in place. "I see you're changing your tactics to get my attention. Why?" His voice was cold. "Is it because using Bryan wasn't working anymore? And what made you think threatening me with severing our bond could change anything?"
I held his gaze, defiant. "Oh, Ashton, this isn't some tactics. I really want you to cut my hair. I really want to end this shitty bond we share!"
"And since when did you learn to raise your voice at me? To curse me? Fuck you." His voice dropped. "I know Omegas like you all too well. You're just trying to manipulate me to get something. What is it this time? Money? Jewelry? God, you're so desperate."
