Chapter Five

“Maybe we overreacted?” Luken said, facing his brother. “We didn’t even give her a chance to explain.”

Ryken rolled his eyes. “Did we? The way I see it we didn’t react enough. We still don’t have our mate back, and we left her wrapped in a sheet with that douchebag standing at her door.”

Luken groaned. “You’re right. We should’ve dragged him down the hallway with us and beat his ass.”

Ryken paused, glancing at his brother. Then Luken smirked. Ryken shook his head. “I’m the one who’s supposed to need anger management. You’re supposed to keep things levelheaded, remember?”

“Yes, I remember. I also remember feeling like the air had been sucked from the room, as I looked her in the eyes, and told her she was killing us. Even I hate that level of seriousness, you know?”

“I couldn’t stand there and say nothing,” Ryken told him, defending his actions. “I wanted to hear why she was so eager to be alone. Find out why our bond is weakening. Now we know.”

She doesn’t really need us anymore. Maybe she never really did.

Luken leaned against the railing of their hotel balcony, looking downward in the location of Tabitha’s room. “And now that we know that she has an inheritance and means of independence, what now? Do we go back to McCarthy Ranch and wait for the heartache of loss to destroy us or do we fight?”

He slanted a glance to his brother, his heart pounding with regret. He’d replayed his words to Tabitha over and over again in his mind. She’d looked like a woman ravaged by pain. Then he remembered the way she looked and tasted as they’d made love. That was not a woman wishing to run away, but a woman desiring her lovers, needing them as they needed her. His head spun.

As they’d made love, Ryken felt the connection spark once more, even if just for a moment. Perhaps, he’d been wrong to assume she didn’t love them anymore. Things between them were becoming such a mess and his temper wasn’t helping matters.

Not so long ago, Tabitha had been on her own, and it had been him and Luken who had uprooted her life. In many ways, he was responsible for her staying at McCarthy Ranch, but what if secretly she’d always wanted to live back in Seattle? Had he sabotaged their chances by never giving her a choice? He ground his teeth, hating all the unanswered questions bumping around in his head.

The one thing he’d been so sure of recently was that he wanted to marry Tabitha, to make her his wife. He honestly couldn’t believe he hadn’t asked her sooner, but things between them had felt so amazing, he feared rocking the boat. What if his hesitation was the cause of her distance?

Shit, what if this is all my fault?

Ryken stiffened his spine and faced Luken. “I think it’s time we did what we do best.”

“What’s that?” Luken asked.

Ryken grinned, his brow arching high on his forehead. “We kidnap our mate.
