Over Robin’s shoulder, Alicia watched Frost as he strolled away to meet with the Elders. He didn’t even bother glancing back at her. No words exchanged since she walked out of the plane’s bedroom, he hadn’t even looked in her direction. Had his thoughts been on her as hers centered on him? They barely knew each other, but the lack of acknowledgement still stung. She didn’t expect to become the center of his world, even if they were supposed to be mates or whatever, but she expected more from him than she received. He shut her out without even an explanation or an apology.

How long would it have been before he told me we were supposed to be mates if it hadn’t been for Evie? That was another question plaguing her. From what she gathered, he’d known since the cabin in New York, yet he didn’t say anything. Evie had been the one who let it slip, forcing him to tell her the truth. If I even received all the truth. Maybe there’s more he’s hiding from me. No, not maybe. I know there’s more.

Alvin’s words echoed through her thoughts. You need to claim your mate before he sends more after her. He’d known, too. Everyone knew but her. A human surrounded by shifters kept in the dark. That’s what she was.

“I’ve made a mistake.”

“About what?” Robin questioned.

She glanced at the other woman and shook her head. “I shouldn’t be here.”

“I remember thinking that, too.” She shot Alicia a heartfelt smile. “Trust me, it’s the best place to be. I don’t know your circumstances, but you’re safe here. And from what I gathered from the way you were watching him, there’s even more reason to stay.”

“Doubt that.” Alicia let out a deep sigh. “If anything, it’s more reason to leave.”

“Give it time.” Robin tipped her head toward the rest of the compound. “Let me show you where you can stay, and when Ty’s finished with Frost, you can talk to the Elders. If you really want to leave, I’m sure he’ll help you. He can arrange for you to go to one of the other clans, somewhere safe instead of you being out there by yourself.”

“I don’t know if I should—”

“You should come with me. You can get a shower, put a new bandage on your wound, change into clean clothes, and I’ll get you a hot meal. Once you’re clean and fed then decide what you want to do.”

She glanced down at herself. Her gray dress slacks and blue sweater were covered in dirt, blood, and who knows what else. Her pant leg was ripped where Frost needed access to the gunshot wound. Realizing she was a complete mess, she nodded reluctantly. “Okay.”

“Good.” Robin started moving toward the long single-story building. “Many of the unmated tigers live in this building consisting of small studio apartments. You’ll have your own space, and no one will bother you if you want to be left alone. A group will collect your laundry twice a week and return it clean and folded the same day.
