Chapter Eleven

Kane was outside of the River’s Edge, his sexy butt hanging out the passenger’s side of his Bronco as he dug around for something.

“You okay?” she asked, wringing her hands. Tonight had been almost perfect, and then Weston had to go and get all big-brother-overprotective.

“I’m fine,” Kane gritted out. He shoved off the seat and Rowan’s heart dropped to the dirt parking lot when she saw what he’d found. His sunglasses were back in place.

“Kane, I don’t want you hiding from me.”

“I’m not hiding, Rowan. I shouldn’t have taken them off in the first place. I think you should go back in there with your crew.”

“They are my friends, Kane. Not my crew. I’m a Gray Back.”

“And I’m nothing!” When Kane took a step back, his back hit the side of the Bronco so hard the truck rocked. “Fuck.” Kane bit his lip and stared across the road at the ivy-covered mountain that protruded from the earth. “Wes is right.”

“That’s great, Kane.”

“Roe, he saw fire, and he has a bad feeling about me—”

“You said you don’t have the fire.”

“But what if I somehow put you in danger? What if I bring on Damon’s wrath, or piss off some other fire-breather we don’t know about, or I don’t know! My life isn’t easy. I have people wanting to fight all the damn time, Rowan. I’m a rogue. Shifters and vamps can sense I’m weak. They just can’t figure out why. So they fight. It’s instinct. I’m a target, and Wes has some magic mojo shit that helps him see the future, and we should take it seriously. I’m not meant to be with someone. I’m not meant to be with you. I’ll hurt you.”

“You’re being mean again.”

“I’m not.”

“You are. You say I’m a dragon and question why I’m afraid of everything, but then you sit here and tell me I should be afraid? That you’re some threat to me? Have I ever called you Dark Kane?”

Kane ran the edge of his thumbnail over and over the scruff on his chin. He sighed an irritated breath and leveled her with a look.

Rowan repeated louder, “Have I?”

“No.”

“Because you aren’t Dark Kane to me. Push the world away all you want to, but it won’t scare me off. It’ll make me hold on tighter.”

“Why?”

“Because I’m a dragon,” she murmured. “We’re a loyal bunch.”

Kane crossed his arms, splayed his legs on the gravel, and leaned hard against his Bronco. “What did Wes mean in there? What happened to you? What did he protect you from?”

“Nope,” she said, using his word to cut off the conversation.

“Roe.”

Dang him using her friend name so she got all mushy and wanted to say yes to him. “Wes grew up with sisters, got all protective, and we were in the same crew, so he lumped me in with them. Thought he had to save me from every damn thing.” She swallowed hard and kicked a rock. “Except some things he couldn’t protect me from. I think he blames himself, but he takes it out on me.
