Chapter Eight

The bitter stench of fear suddenly tainted Aidan’s pheromone signature, but he straightened his shoulders and tried to step in front of her as Caswell approached. She eased out from behind him to stand beside him as the lieutenant colonel reached them. He was clearly enraged, and Lex was certain he would shift into his half form at any moment.

When he stopped, only a few inches separated him from them. His attention was fully on Aidan. “What the hell are you doing?”

“He was taking me for a walk,” said Lex before Aidan could answer. “I was getting stir crazy in my room, and I convinced him.”

He barely glanced at her, his unwavering attention remaining focused on Aidan. “Did you touch her?”

Aidan’s eyes widened, and Lex tried to step in between them when she saw fur bristling on Caswell’s forearms, revealed by his uniform shirt rolled to his elbows. “This is my fault. Aidan had nothing to do with it.”

Caswell turned his head just briefly, long enough to snarl at her before saying, “He took you out of your room and chose to disregard orders.”

“Yes, I did,” said Aidan. “She seems so miserable in there, and I felt sorry for her.”

If anything, his words seemed to anger Caswell further. “You pitied my mate? There’s no reason to pity her. You shouldn’t even be looking at her, let alone talking to her enough to feel sorry for the circumstances she’s placed herself in. She’s not a prisoner, but chooses to act like one.”

“She seems like a prisoner to me, sir. She asked for a walk, and it didn’t seem unreasonable.”

Caswell glared at him. “It isn’t your call.” He lunged forward suddenly, hand around Aidan’s throat as he slammed him into the wall of the corridor. Lex tried to get between them, tugging at Caswell’s arm, but it was locked like a vice around Aidan’s throat. He started sniffing, and whatever he detected seemed to make him angrier. “I smell your desire for her. She’s mine.” With those words, Caswell shook Aidan before pulling him forward and slamming him against the wall again.

Aidan was trying to fight, but he wasn’t strong enough to face off with someone who’d been enhanced, like Caswell.

When Caswell started striking Aidan, Lex tried to stop him by holding onto his arm. He shrugged her off, keeping his focus solely trained on Aidan. At least he had released his hold on the other man’s throat, but now he was punching him, and when Aidan slumped to the floor, he kicked him in the ribs.

Lex could feel the coyote surging forward, and it took every ounce of self-control to keep it back. Only knowing he would kill him if Caswell discovered Aidan hadn’t been giving her the suppressors held back the shift.

She tried grabbing his arm, and he shook her off again, more forcefully this time. She reeled back, wincing when her shoulder collided with the opposite wall. She didn’t let it slow her down as she tried to slither between them, guarding Aidan’s body with hers as much as she could.
