Chapter Ten

Justus had been waiting in the room, earlier slipping on his pants in case he needed to run. With his recovery well underway, he’d easily be able to escape, but he didn’t like the idea of John both threatening and flirting with Paige.

Anger at the bastard in the living room only increased as John’s sickeningly sweet desire for Paige seeped through the walls and made his skin crawl. There was no way in hell that bastard was getting his hands on her. He’d rip him limb from limb.

He took several deep breaths as the conversation unfolded. Every instinct in him screamed to protect Paige and take out the men, but the rational part of him recognized she was defusing the situation for the moment. Whatever happened, this time he was ready and wouldn’t be surprised.

As soon as the last car made its way from the drive and onto the road, Justus burst through the door.

He could still smell John’s disgusting lust hanging thick in the air.

“That son of a bitch,” he said as he stalked over to where Paige stood, her back to the front door. He made a fist. “And feral? I tried to talk to those bastards, but they shot me. Claws my ass. Maybe I should show him my claws.”

Paige placed a hand on his chest.

“That wouldn’t solve anything,” she said softly. “The important thing is they obviously don’t know you are in the house. If they really thought that, they would have stormed the place.”

Rage coursed through him as he paced the room. He knew killing John would probably only make things worse, but he had to do something. He couldn’t just sit there, hiding, while his woman had to suffer on her own. If he’d been more careful, he wouldn’t have been wounded by John’s men to begin with and brought the trouble to his woman’s door.

Justus paused. His woman? He couldn’t shake it though. She was. Everything about her was his. He could smell it and knew that his instincts wouldn’t lie to him. His woman. His Vestal. His destiny.

He turned to where she stood by the door.

“Maybe you would be safer at the lodge,” she said. Her voice was strained. “They’d not dare attack them directly.”

He stepped over to where she stood.

“You don’t want me here?” he said, trying to keep the growl out of his voice but failing.

She stared at him, tears in her eyes.

“It doesn’t matter. It’s not safe here. We only got lucky they didn’t surround the house and demand to go room to room.”

He stepped even closer and breathed in her scent. It still mingled with that of the bastard from before, but he’d fix that.

“And what about you?” he said. “They suspect you’re involved.”

She shrugged and turned her head away.

“I’ll be fine.”

“Like you were a minute ago?” he said. “The crazy bastard putting his hands on you like he had some right to?”

Paige turned to glare at him.

“What was I supposed to do? Kick him out? Hit him?” She sighed loudly.
