Vance parked the black suburban under the drive-up area at the front of the Montague mansion after retrieving the Demakis royal’s bag from her room—his mate. He rubbed his hands together, huffed warm air across his fingers, and looked up at his reflection in the rearview mirror. “She is our mate. She’s changed her mind. She’s choosing us,” his wolf howled with nearly uncontainable glee.

“You don’t know that,” he hissed. “Settle down.”

“She knows. She felt the magick.”

He knew she’d felt it, but she’d made it quite clear she was in charge. But if she was rejecting Montague, this would be his chance to try again. Still, his heart sank remembering the first rejection in the room upstairs. She’d told him to leave. Told him she couldn’t choose him. What would’ve changed this quickly? If she was holding herself to werewolf council law…nothing had changed. Nothing except that she’d rejected Montague as well.

He sprung out of the vehicle into the swirling snowstorm that’d blown in over the last hour. If she was leaving, now was the time. Soon they’d be snowed in until the roads could be plowed. He circled the SUV and opened the rear passenger door as she stomped through the enormous entrance and down the front steps. Dante was right behind her, glaring daggers at her back, shouting about how this wasn’t over and she had nowhere to go. The hell she didn’t. He’d make sure she felt safe. Even if she rejected him again. Even if he had to fight Montague to do it.

She climbed in and he shut the door behind her, doing his best not to drool over the round perfection of her ass.

“Mine.” His wolf growled.

I’m working on it. He didn’t dare a glance at Montague, instead rounding the hood of the suburban and quickly climbing into the drivers seat and out of the swirling snow and biting gusts. He was a shifter and the cold didn’t bother him as much as humans, but the sting of the wind still bit the same.

He drove slowly through the wintry mix, bumping and jostling down the long drive until the weather hid the mansion from view.

“Where’s the closest hotel?” She asked, her voice thready and weaker than it’d been earlier in the day. He nearly curled his lip in a growl, hating that something or someone had upset her so much.

He glanced up to meet her gaze in the rearview mirror, sucking in a quick breath at the obvious heated interest in her eyes. “About fifteen miles, Miss Demakis.”

She frowned. A cute pouty that’s-not-good-enough frown. A frown he wanted to climb out of his seat, into the back, and kiss off her pretty little red lips.

“Or I could take you to my home.”

They met gazes again and this time the lust in her bright blue eyes stilled his heart.

“I made a mistake sending you away.” Some of the tension was slipping away and her voice was dropping into that familiar husky quality from earlier in the day.
