I stripped out of Braden’s clothes, needing to shake off the vampire smell before I got back to the mansion. Then I shifted and ran.
When I got back, I collected the clothes I’d strewn all over the lawn and got dressed again, bracing myself for whatever chaos was unfolding inside the mansion.
I stepped inside as quietly as I could, planning to make a beeline straight for my quarters, but as soon as the door shut behind me, I felt a hand grip my arm and tug me backward into another wing of the house.
I tried to pull away, but whoever had me in their grip was way too strong.
Adoor slammed shut and suddenly, I was in a living room I didn’t recognize.
“What are we going to do about you?” a deep, wicked voice asked.
I finally looked up into the eyes of the person who’d brought me here. He was older, his face lined and his hair streaked with silver, but I didn’t recognize him.
“Do you know who I am?” he asked, his eyes boring into me.
Lily stirred inside me, running a defensive circle around my belly. Her guard was up. This man made her nervous.
I shook my head.
“I’m Orion Constantine,” he said, and his lips curled up in a half-smirk half-snarl. “I’m Xander’s father and the former Alpha.”
“N-nice to meet you,” I said softly. “Are you going to let me go?”
I glanced at his hand still wrapped around my arm.

Men and Monroe will see you sur “nam Could he really be sailing the truth They Gregory and Luces had barely been out of the house for the saccess what Kattie’s serum achend in a “Xander! Help!”
Zane’s eyes flashed to mine.
“She’s in trouble,” he said.
We ran straight toward the sound, which was coming from the west wing of the house. The only person who usually spent time there was my father.
And if everything Gregory and Lucas said was true, then Katie was in even bigger trouble than I imagined.
I burst into his quarters, Zane trailing just behind me.
I went blind with rage when I saw it.
My father’s arm was wrapped tightly around Katie, and tears were streaming down her face.
Xander–
“What the f uck are you doing to her?” I snarled.
He let her arm go. It was red and angry where he’d squeezed it.
It didn’t matter that Katie could shift and heal, when saw the red ring around her skin, I lost it.
Roaring, I dove at my father, hands around his neck, and slammed him into the wall.
Katie yelped. Zane ran to her and threw an arm around her shoulder protectively.
“What did you do to her?” I asked him, spit flying into his face. “WHAT did you do?!”
He wheezed out a weak laugh. “You wouldn’t understand. You don’t understand any of this.”
I pulled my father back from the wall, then slammed him into it again. He grunted in pain, but the sinister smile never left his face.
“You can’t keep saying this s hit,” I screamed. “I know what you did to Gregory and Luc a s’s mates. They told me.”
His face was rapidly reddening.
“They’re dumb, violent liars,” he choked out.
“No,” I spat back. “I think that’s you.”
“Xander,” Zane said. “You’re choking him. He can’t breathe.”
His face was turning purple now, but I couldn’t let him go. Not until he told me everything..
I looked my father dead in the eyes, compelling him to tell me the truth. But they remained present.
The compulsion wasn’t working. I narrowed my eyes and tried harder. But still, he stared returning to his face despite his limited air supply I snarled and finally moved my hands from his neck. He slid down the wall to the ground.
“I can’t compel him,” I told Zane. “It’s not f ucking working.”
ht and “You’re too emotional,” my father said, laughing wheezily. “You’re not focused. Or maybe the Alpha never should’ve been yours to begin with.”
Hunter reared up inside me, dangerously close to breaking through the surface. But what good would attacking him do? His lies ran so deep at this point, I had no idea what he was capable of.
“What the f uck happened to you?” I said, my voice breaking.
My father and I had never been close, but I never once thought he was this much of a monster.
“Go to your quarters, Katie,” I told her over my shoulder. I didn’t want her here anymore. Not until I could get rid of him “Lock the door from the inside, and don’t come out until I say so, okay?”
I spun around to look at her, and the fear on her face made my heart drop.
She nodded and a tear fell down her cheek.
And then she was gone.
“And you…” I squatted down, shoving my finger in my father’s face. “You can’t be here anymore. Go stay in your hunting lodge or your apartment or wherever the f u ck. You’re not welcome in this mansion anymore.”
I thought he might laugh or argue or spring up and punch me in the face. Zane was standing in a warrior stance behind me, prepared for it all.
But to our surprise, he rose slowly and nodded.
“Fine-You won’t see me here again.”
Katie–
I ran out of the room like my life depended on it.
Because it probably did.
I shuddered to think what might have happened if Xander and Zane hadn’t come when they had.
“I know what you are,” he’d said. What the f uck did that mean?
I could barely see in front of me, the tears were so thick in my eyes. When I rounded a corner, I nearly plowed into Gabriela. As soon as I saw Stella in her arms, I broke down sobbing.
“Please-I need her,” I said, reaching out to take her. Gabriela passed her off silently, but her vere wide with alarm.
“What’s happened?” she asked.
I had no idea how to tell her.
I just shook my head as more tears fell.
“I can’t…” I said. “I can’t…”
on And then I ran to the room, holding Stella as tightly as I could.
I prayed to the g ods that Mason would be in our quarters when I got back. I needed his arms around m needed his scent all over me. I needed normal a gain.
But when I got inside, the rooms were empty and eerily quiet.
A fresh wave of tears streamed down my face as I set Stella down on the bed. She started crying, too.
I’ve gone to Stillwood to think. I’ll be back soon.
He’d left without me.
Katie–
How could Mason leave me here?
