It seems like that’s all I hear anymore. Talk of war. Sides pairing together. Sides eliminating each other. It makes the future seem doomed. But what I still don’t understand is what part I play in all of this. And the answer could very well be in that book currently sitting on the pixie princess’s lap. And all I have to do to get it is kiss Jax. And I should probably just do it. Suck up my pride. It’s not like the kiss has to mean anything.

But I hate being told what to do.

“No freakin’ way,” I tell her, shaking my head.

Jax presses his lips together, his fingers curling into fists. I wait for him to protest too, but his lips remain shut, an unusual move for him.

The princess gives a shrug. “I guess we don’t have a deal then, which means this conversation has now become a waste of my time.” She starts to rise to her feet with the Scrawl of Secrets in her hand.

“Wait,” Jax bites out.

I give him a really look.

He leans in and whispers, “We don’t have a choice. She won’t offer us another deal. It’s not a pixie’s MO.”

He’s right. I know he is. But it doesn’t make the situation any less annoying.

“Fine,” I grumble. “But after we leave this stupid sparkly hellhole and return to the human world, we’re making a stop at a store so I can buy some mouthwash.”

The corners of his lips twitch. “Fine, we can do that. Just like we can pretend that you’re repulsed by the idea of kissing me.”

I roll my eyes. “We both know that’s not true. In fact, I’m pretty sure I might vomit right now.”

His lips tug into a smirk. “Again, we can pretend.”

My jaw ticks and my lips part with a snarky comeback. But then I decide to take the upper hand a different, standing on my tiptoes and sealing my lips to his. I mean, it’s just a kiss. It doesn’t have to mean anything. And I can make a big show of gagging afterward.

But as our lips brush, goosebumps sprout across my arms, a shiver trickling through my body.

Crap. I think I might kind of like kissing Jax.

That thought pixie kicks some sense into me, and I start to pull back. But Jax's lips chase mine, a groan reverberating through him. No, not a groan. A growl. Moments later, his teeth graze my bottom lip as he softly bites me. Just like he did when he was trying to bond me to him.

I jerk back, my eyelids snapping open.

"Your eyes are glowing,” I whisper in horror, worried he’s going to shift.

Jax’s chest rises and crashes as he struggles to breathe evenly. “I can’t… I need to…” He starts to step toward me and holy hell fires, I think he’s going to bite me.

And I can't let that happen even if it does kind of feel good.

I slam my hand against his chest. “Stop.”

He freezes, blinking his eyes wildly. The glowing starts to subside as he gets his wolf under control.
