Chapter 26

Tanner

I barge into Callus' office, uncaring about knocking or making any kind of big fucking deal about my appearance. "Any sign of the human?" I snap through tight teeth.

He looks up from his desk, a ready scowl on his face. "No." I drop into the chair opposite him. "Have a seat," he says coldly.

Like I fucking care.

My smile is just as angry as his glower. Inside I'm quaking, wound tighter than I can ever remember being. Caine's fucking scent was all over Nisha in the store. And they both went out of their way to stay clear of me at the campground. But here? Here there is only so far for them to go.

And Callus seems more than willing to let me stew.

"What do you want, Tanner?" he finally asks.

“The pack may be attacked again tonight.”

He scans the papers before him. “I am aware. We are taking precautions.”

“Good because I brought along a few precautions of my own.”

His head whips up. “You invited outsiders to the pack run? Without consulting me?”

“I have a plus one and so does Nisha. The rest will be stationed with Daisy at the hospital.”

Callus grinds his teeth. “Fine. But if they interfere with pack proceedings—”

“They won’t. They have been briefed on appropriate pack behavior.” I stand and eye him from on high. “Do make sure the pack knows not to touch my people. Or I may take it as an insult.” My grin is as pissed, as wired as I am. I need to run. I need to chase Nisha and take her.

She wants me to. I can smell it every time I’m near her.

“Oh,” I begin. "Nisha ... She is mine tonight."

His eyes pulse with his beast. "You have no prior claim, and this is my pack now."

"You're not hearing what I'm saying to you," I say softly, letting my alpha command thread through every fucking note that slips past my teeth. "Nisha is mine. Tonight. Tomorrow. For however fucking long I want her. You or anyone else touches her, I'll rip your fucking hands off and shove them down your throat."

He sits back in the old leather chair. My father's chair. I roll my head on my neck, and fight down the urge to rip his throat out just for that one slight. But I gave up the pack years ago, and I have no desire to take it again.

"I'm going to say this slowly, Tanner." Callus eyes me with cool disdain. "This is my land, my pack, and my run. Nisha is free to choose who she lays with tonight. And last I knew, you were not in any place to dictate that it must be you she is under or over by sun rise."

"I will be hunting her tonight," Callus continues. "Just as everyone else will be. She is prime, fit. And all the better for her to join the pack if she finds a mate tonight as well."

The cat inside me rolls up my body, his claws spread and teeth bared.
