She’d wanted to be here with them. And she was probably pis sed that I’d interrupted whatever the f uck was going on when I walked in.
I clenched my fist and raised it high, and for one sweet, satisfying second, a look of horror flashed across Xander’s face. But then I spun around and brought it down hard against the mirror opposite the showers.
The glass shattered, and blood poured out of my hand, but I didn’t give a f uck.
I stalked out of the bathroom before Colt took over completely and I did something I couldn’t come back from.
If I touched even one little hair on their on their b ig-as s heads, I’d be thrown to the literal wolves of the council.
I couldn’t touch those mo therf uckers on their home turf, but Project: Bring Xander Down from the Inside was back on.
“Mason, wait!” Katie yelled down the hall.
F uck. What was I gonna do about Katie?
I thought she was different, I thought she was the one. I thought I loved her, and I thought she loved me back. Hell, I was about to make her my mate for real.
But it was Alice all over again.
Xander and Zane had stolen her from me just like before. And Katie had lain down and let them.
“Don’t, Katie,” I said, not turning around.
“Please!” She caught my arm from behind, and I spun around, claws raised.
But when I saw the fear in her eyes and watched her cower below me, all the rage that had flowed through me a second ago suddenly turned to ice in my veins.
I dropped my hand to my side.
“What?” I asked her bluntly. “What could you possibly say right now?”
“Mason, I…” She took a shaky breath, and tears sprung to her eyes. She was guilty, I knew it. “Nothing really happened. Nothing like what’s happened with you.”
I shook my head. My wolf retreated. I was done.
“That doesn’t even matter, Katie,” I said. “You wanted it. You wanted them.”
“But that doesn’t mean I don’t want you, too!” she cried.
She had no idea what she was talking about.
“I’ve already been through this s hit once,” Mason said. “I’m not doing it again.”
be I turned away from her.
“It was a mistake to bring you here.” I walked back down the hall, but this time she didn’t follow.
Katle My eyes blurred with tears and I doubled over, heaving.
What the f uck had I just done?
The G ods were punishing me and my wolf for being so unbelievably stu pid.
After what happened with Alice, it must’ve been so hard for Mason to trust again. And here I was I reminding him why he never should’ve.
I thought about running after him, but what would I say?
He was right. I had wanted it, and I had no excuse for it.
The one bright spot was that at least I’d been honest with him about it. Not like Alice had done.
Instead, I ran to the side door and out of the house. Distantly, I thought of Mindy and how I’d left her alone, how when Gabriela found out, she’d probably have my head. But at least Stella was safe with her As soon as my feet hit the grass, I ripped off all my clothes and ran straight for the forest, shifting before !
could even think about what I was doing.
Not thinking was good. I didn’t want to think about the consequences of what I’d done, of how I’d face everyone once I got back.
I just needed to run until my body gave out But Lily had other plans. She was pulling me in a certain direction again, to the same place we’d gone the dru baforn The sun was still rising in the sky as I reached the edge of the lake, and the light was sparkling on the water’s surface. It would’ve been beautiful if everything else wasn’t so f ucked up.
A branch broke close by, and I snapped my head toward the sound. I raised my nose high and sniffed the air. What the f uck?
It was that same strange smell Lily had gone nuts for yesterday. She sent me pacing in circles. Clearly, she was still going crazy.
And so was I, because now I knew what that smell meant.
Vampire.
I looked out over the trees, and then I saw him..
An admittedly beautiful man with bright green eyes, cropped black hair, and a jaw chiseled by the go ds themselves. He was wearing a flannel, perfectly fitting jeans, and boots… Did all vampires dress like s exy lumberjacks?
When he saw me, his eyes went wide with recognition and amusement.
“I thought you’d gone missing,” he said in a smooth, deep voice. “Looks like I found you.”
Zane–
“What the hell did we just do?” I asked as I threw myself onto the bed.
“We almost f ucked Katie…aka Mason’s mate,” Xander said, blowing out a big breath of air.
If Mason had walked in five minutes later, who knew what kind of position he would’ve found us in.
I couldn’t tell if I was more relieved or disappointed that things hadn’t escalated when he caught us.
Probably more disappointed than anything.
Now Mason was raging, and Katie probably wouldn’t go near us again anytime soon.
An intense wave of need pulsed through me just at the thought.
We’d gotten so close to touching her, and now it was all crashing down around us.
“It’s for the best that it didn’t happen,” Xander said, though I could tell he didn’t even believe his own words.
It was less complicated, yes, but now the thought of never being that close to her again was physically painful.
“Where do you think she went?” I asked.
“Let’s hope she’s just out for a short run. We can only cover for her for so long.”
We’d told Gabriela that we’d found Katie stumbling down the hall after a migraine hit suddenly and that we’d brought her up to bed.
Gabriela agreed to look after Stella until Katie was feeling better, but we only had a couple of hours before she would go up there herself to check on her.
And if Katie wasn’t there, all hell would break loose.
“G od s, can this day get any worse?” I said, pinching the bridge of my nose Aknock sounded at the door.
“Come in,” Xander instructed.
Maxim stepped through the door, a troubled look on his face.
“You have visitors,” he said solemnly. “Gregory and Lucas. They’re downstairs waiting with Monroe.”
Xander cut his eyes at me. “F uck you, man. You cursed us. Those are the last as sholes I want to talk to today.”
We hadn’t seen Gregory and Lucas since we announced Alice’s death and they accused us of killing her.
very much on the Council’s bad side.
“S hit. What business do they have coming here?” I asked.
“I don’t know.” Xander shrugged. “But I guess we’re about to find out.”
We walked downstairs slowly, dreading coming face to face with those disgusting oafs again.
they w “Alpha Xander, Beta Zane.” Gregory nodded when we walked into the great room where waiting. on the large couch. “We have something urgent we need to discuss with you.”
“If it’s lies and slander, then I don’t want to hear it,” Xander said, waving his hand at them dismissively.
