Chapter Seventeen

After the guys geared up and disappeared on their clandestine mission, Octavia fought against the impulse to follow, the need to go after them riding her hard. She’d tried to argue that it would be safer to take her with them, but they were having none of it.

She was here to train.

So she would stay behind and train.

“I’ll make you some food.” Atticus turned and hightailed it to the kitchen, letting her pace and work off her frustration.

Smart man.

“Wait.” She smiled at his retreating back. “Why don’t we go down to the cafeteria for the evening meal? We came here to spy on the daemons, and how are we supposed to do that if I’m never allowed near them?”

The wolf disliked the idea judging by the way a snarl curled his lips, his fangs flashing in annoyance. One look at her mulish expression and he snapped his mouth shut, knowing better than to deny her again. “Fine.”

He stomped toward the door, and Octavia scrambled after him, hauling ass for fear he would change his mind. As the elevator door slid shut, she shifted from foot to foot, barely able to contain her excitement. Oh, she didn’t give a shit about the food or meeting more daemons. No, it was the chance to get out of the jail where they expected her to stay, like an obedient little woman, while they ran off to do manly stuff.

As the elevator descended farther underground, she studied the quiet wolf at her side. He practically bristled with aggression, and she suddenly felt awful for forcing his hand. She touched his arm. “I promise I’m not up to any mischief.”

He quickly grabbed her hand, then set it on his arm, before reluctantly releasing her, patting it as if to make sure she would stay put. “I know.”

Shivers raced down her spine at the rough grumble, and she lost her train of thought at the feel of muscles rippling under her touch. Warmth seeped into her at his nearness, the scent of a campfire whisking around her.

The elevator doors opened, and she jerked upright, dazed and more than a little confused. When the elevator doors began to slide shut, Atticus shoved his foot between them, and it took her a moment to remember where they were heading. Instead of exiting the elevator, she turned to find him devouring her with his eyes, the stunning green had shards of red spearing the center as he struggled to keep his wolf in check.

“If you don’t want to find yourself pinned to the wall and kissed within an inch of your life, you best move. You have two seconds.”

Her brain actually froze at his demand, desire warring with common sense.

“Two.”

She was thinking, dammit.

“One.”

“Fine.” Octavia huffed and stomped off the elevator, completely dissatisfied and beyond frustrated, but until she decided whether she wanted them as mates, she would not give in to temptation. It wouldn’t be fair to any of them. She had a feeling that one touch, one kiss would never be enough, and it scared the bejesus out of her.
