Promises

Jackson’s room was on the far side of the hospital, in the quietest wing they could find, but as I rounded the corner, Miranda’s voice echoed off the walls. How had she gotten up to the third floor before me?

A warning tingled at the back of my neck. Was the Miranda in the chapel a shapeshifter? Was this the shifter? Instinctively, I flexed my fingers at my sides, ready for a fight. I couldn’t be sure of anyone anymore. At least, not until we figured out a way to detect her magic.

I took another step into the hall and the four men standing opposite Miranda came into focus. It was Isaac, Tate, and two of the younger wolves. Kyle and his twin brother Liam.

“You have to let me in,” Miranda demanded. “I have to see him. I have to know that he’s okay.”

Isaac folded his arms over his chest. “After the stunt you just pulled, I’m sending you home.”

“I’m not leaving until I see him,” she said, getting in his face. He was twice her size, but she refused to back down.

Isaac snapped. “I said no!”

“I have every right to be here, he’s my—”

“He’s your what?” I asked, raising my voice to match hers.

Miranda turned on her heel and snarled, her eyes flashing a dangerous shade of yellow. “He’s mine.”

Isaac tugged on the lapels of his white coat. “Go inside, Rebekah. I’ll handle this and be in momentarily.”

I snorted once without humor and took a step towards Miranda. “You’re insane if you think I’m going to let you anywhere near my husband. I tolerated your display in the chapel. Tate told you to stop. And yet, here you are. Still prattling on. You have no claim to him, Miranda. None.”

She charged forward, meeting me toe to toe. “Don’t tell me what to do, witch. I have more of a claim to him than you ever could.”

The leash around my anger snapped, and I slapped her. My hand felt like it had shattered against her jaw, but the blow was enough to make the wolf’s head snap sideways.

I grabbed a handful of her hair and snarled, “You think because you slept with him once in high school that makes you his mate? Even I know it doesn’t work like that. Now, get out of my sight before I show you exactly what kind of witch I am.”

I shoved Miranda and she staggered into the wall. Her head smacked the sheet rock with an audible thud.

“You bi—” Her eyes flashed yellow, and Isaac leapt between us.

“Miranda, stop!” his voice rang with the will of the Alpha and she halted. She didn’t have a choice.

Under the power of his gaze, she clenched her teeth, and tilted her head to the side, exposing her neck. The universal sign of a wolf’s submission. “She threatened me.”

“She had every right,” he said. “Now, go home. I’ll deal with you later.”

Miranda flinched as the command sank in, and bowed her head a fraction, taking a step back. She glared at me for half a second and then marched away, chin lifted into the air.
