Chapter 6

Grumbling under his breath, Aiden stormed into the bedroom, muscles tensed, teeth grinding, a low rumbling growl slowly working its way up his throat. If he wasn’t in such a foul mood, I’d be pretty turned on. He was a drop-dead gorgeous man in a happy mood, but when riled up, he put off a sexy masculine mojo that I couldn’t resist. It had to be his animal magnetism at work. I had to put those thoughts in my mental to-do list for later. Now it was time to concentrate on getting ready to rumble with the would-be usurpers.

“I should have seen this.” Aiden slammed his fist into the dresser. “I’ve been so distracted.”

“You’ve been hard at work building the pack back to full force.”

“Only to have Micah attempt to take it out from under me. And to use my own brother.”

“Why would Brady listen to him?” That was the part that must have bothered him the most. Brady was his fraternal twin. They were inseparable. That this Micah could sway him must have really struck a nerve. Only a night before, Brady had pushed me so hard to make the change to ensure his brother the title. “Brady wants you as the Alpha, I just know it. There has to be some underlying issue we’re not seeing.”

“Brady just wants to make sure that he is not the one to have to shoulder that responsibility.” His low tone did not mask the seething anger beneath. “I’ll deal with him later.”

Brother against brother. That was a fight I did not want to see. Aiden would probably win, but at what cost? Werewolves, it seemed, were a very physical and violent bunch. I wasn’t sure how I would cope with this need to physically deal with every issue. It was a very unappealing side effect to becoming one of them. I hadn’t even turned, and I was already set to take on Diana.

“And don’t you get any ideas about fighting with Diana,” Aiden said matter-of-factly, as if he had the ability to read my thoughts.

“Thanks, baby, but I’m not hiding behind you. If she wants a fight with me, she’ll get one. I can hold my own...” I wasn’t going for cocky, but that’s the way the words came out.

“She’ll rip you apart.”

That brought me crashing back to reality. Yes, I was probably a little outmatched. She’d been a wolf longer than I had, but once I transitioned we’d be on even ground. At least, I hoped so. “I think you’re underestimating me just a little here.” I tried to keep the worry from my voice, but I doubted I was really doing a good job of it. I was sure Aiden could smell any fear I might have.

“I don’t mean to say you’re weak.” Some of the anger had diminished from his voice. “It’s just… you’re human. Even if you transitioned tonight, you’d still be weak for a little while. That means no matter how good, you’d be in no condition to fight.
