Chapter 11

Phoenix

As Phoenix stormed away from Mena, he found the simple task of putting one foot in front of the other the greatest challenge he had ever encountered.

She was just a woman, a woman that should, by everything he had ever believed, be his enemy, so why did he want to, all of a sudden, give it all up for—for what? It wasn‘t like they could have some sort of relationship. Her pack—if they didn‘t kill her—wouldn‘t allow that to happen, and Phoenix refused to think what his clan would say or do.

It was foolish of him to even contemplate what could happen, because it never would. It didn‘t mean he didn‘t want it to, though, because he did; with every ounce of his damned soul, he wanted to rush back to where he had left her and make her his.

Forcing himself into focus, Phoenix grabbed at silver throwing blades and daggers on the wall in front of him, placing them on the stainless table in the center of the room, before going to the other side to retrieve guns and ammo.

He knew the instant Mena looked at him; he could feel her green eyes on him. She was curious, he knew, but she didn‘t seem afraid. She should be. He should have been stronger and made her fear him. He had been doing a damn good job of intimidating her until he‘d seen her in leather, then he had all but fallen at her feet like a love-struck fool.

Lea would pay greatly for doing that to him.

“Are we going to war?” Mena asked quietly. “Or are you planning to use those on me?”

Holsters. Holsters.

Phoenix walked to a cabinet and opened it to holsters, sheaths and a ton of other miscellaneous items needed to prepare one for battle.

“Phoenix?” she whispered, stopping him in his tracks.

His eyes slammed shut and in he breathed the scent of her as she slowly entered the room. Clearing his throat and scrambling in his mind to lock up his sanity before she had complete and utter control over him, he opened his eyes, cool and collected once again, and glared at her under dark lashes. “You‘re going to need protection from your own kind until they accept you as their pack leader. I have a feeling none of them are going to like having a woman as their Alpha.”

“And you‘re just going to put all that stuff on me and throw me to the wolves, so to speak?”

His lips thinned as he pursed them together, and he nodded once. “Yes. That about sums it up,” he said, and had to turn back to the cabinet to keep from seeing the sadness in her eyes.

She already knew she was a dead dog. Why sugarcoat it for her?

“Do you want this war to end, between werewolves and vampires?”

Phoenix watched his knuckles turn white as he squeezed the leather holster in his fist. “It‘s not that easy—”

“I didn‘t say it would be easy, but I do believe it‘s possible.
