Chapter 11

“Are you trying to scare her off?” She accused Brent.

His lips curled a little, “No, but I’m running out of patience.”

Kaitlin cocked her hip and glared at him. “Leave her alone until she’s gotten more used to the idea.”

“If you think that’ll work, that’s what I’ll do.”

“I do.”

He held up his hands, palms out, “Okay. I’ll give her a few weeks to get used to it.” And with that, he headed over to the bar and poured himself a fair measure of some dark liquor and downed it in one before pouring some more and walking out of sight.

“Huh,” she muttered.

Hands landed on her waist lightly and she jumped at the sudden touch. Looking over her shoulder she saw Rhys looking at the spot his second had just disappeared. “Everything okay?”

Kaitlin nodded absently, “Yeah. He just needs to realise Misha isn’t like me. At all.”

He chuckled and nuzzled her neck, “I think he’s starting to realise that. But if I remember correctly, you put up a pretty good fight before giving in.”

“Hey,” she slapped one of the hands at her waist and narrowed her eyes at him.

Rhys laughed again and pressed a soft kiss to her jaw.

“Seriously though, she isn’t. She didn’t have a domineering father breathing down her neck wanting her to be the best she could; pushing her to learn everything he thought she should know.” She sighed softly, “She wasn’t taught to fight, to defend herself. Her family really are old school and didn’t want their daughter to be anything but a pretty face. They think men should do the fighting and the women should stay home and keep house. It’s archaic, especially for a shifter!” She cried angrily.

He turned her in his arms and cupped her face with his palms. “Calm down, we’ll figure something out. But it will have to wait until we sort this business with your father.”

Kaitlin nodded understandingly.

Paul Mahone was going to cause hell for Rhys pack because of her decision to leave with him. He’d already set a bounty on Rhys head and God knows who else. Anyone could turn into a possible murderer.

“Who’s going to come after you?”

Rhys’ eyes glowed amber for a second as he stared over her shoulder at an unknown and invisible enemy. “Anyone and everyone.”

Oh, God! “What are we going to do?” She asked, her voice wavering the tiniest bit.

His gaze met hers quickly, his face softening. “Don’t worry about that, Cat. I can take care of myself.”

She had no doubt of that. “But this is my fault.”

Rhys’ hands moved to her nape and pulled her closer until their noses touched. “Stop thinking that. This is no-one’s fault, okay? Not yours; not mine. No-one’s! Right?”

Kaitlin nodded numbly.

His grip loosened and he let out a weary sigh as he straightened. “I’m sorry, Cat. I just don’t want to lose you.”

Sighing, she wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her face in his chest. “I’m not going anywhere.”

Long fingers threaded through the strands of her blonde hair and she sighed at the gentle tug of her scalp with each pull.
