Chapter 17

Cain

My jaw will likely shatter soon with the number of times I’ve had to stop myself from responding, shifting, hell, speaking today. Holding back my wolf becomes increasingly difficult as I’m forced to listen to Keith argue that she belongs to him, that she’s his to protect.

The fuck she is. He can’t have her. She’s mine.

The moment he shouted at me that I didn’t give a shit about her, my wolf nearly broke through my grip. It made me all the more thankful that Jake was driving us to her complex. I may not have been able to retain control over the SUV while fighting off the shift.

I shouldn’t have revealed my true feelings to him, but my wolf needed him to know she belonged to us. She’s the only thing that matters, and I’ll kill him myself if he stands between us.

“Should I drop you at the compound?” Jake asks, his face saying what he won’t. He doesn’t trust me with Keith.

I don’t blame him.

“I’m fine,” I respond tersely, focusing my attention out the window as he pulls off the freeway.

“Yeah, but will Keith be fine?” he continues his questioning, not taking his eyes off the road.

I don’t respond, mostly because whatever I return with will be a lie. I can’t be sure how my wolf will react to anything Keith says. The only thing keeping me from eliminating him is knowing that Bri would never forgive me for killing one of her closest friends. However, if he thinks he has even the slightest chance of taking her from me...

“Your growling doesn’t breed much confidence,” Jake says, trying to hold back a smile.

“I’ll handle it,” I reply, releasing a deep breath while flexing and unflexing my fists to remove some tension.

“Great because we’re here,” he says, pulling into the apartment complex. My eyes scan the cars before I locate Keith next to his. I can tell he’s fuming.

His eyes land on our vehicle, and I can see the anger plastered all over his face.

“You manipulative asshole! Why the fuck didn’t you tell me?” he begins shouting before I’m even out of the car. “I could’ve asked about her. I could’ve opened the damn papers and found a way to ask about her, and…”

I cut him off before he can finish his statement. “And you could’ve been killed. You could also have made it more dangerous for her. Worst of all, you could’ve gotten her killed. You have no idea who you’re dealing with, what they’re capable of, what they’ll do to her if we can’t get her back!”

He loses some of his bravado, and, for a moment, I can see fear flash across his face.

“How did they even get to her?” he asks, though this time not in an accusatory tone.

“They used someone she knew, but that's not important. They have her, and we have to get her back. Where’s the paperwork?”

He reaches back into the car and grabs the envelope containing all the information that he’s supposed to use to complete his assignments.
