Chapter Seven

Damien shifted to his human form, making the transition just as quick as before. “I’d rather you didn’t.”

Slow and cautious, he bent forward, extending his arm to retrieve his clothing from the chair. Redressing as quick as possible, he studied his human lover, watching for any outward reaction apart from the blank expression pasted on his face. Aside from his question, the man hadn’t budged a single muscle in the last few minutes.

“Are you still with me?” Since he’d entrusted him with the most important secret of his life, he sure as fuck hoped his mate was with him.

Mike leaned his head against the deck chair, the air dispelling from his lungs in a loud whoosh. “I was so not expecting that.”

Damien resisted the urge to pull him into his arms and soothe his distress. “I didn’t mean to alarm you.” He shrugged because he honestly had no idea what else to do. “It was the fastest and easiest way to explain.”

“Hell of an explanation, man.” Mike barked out a laugh. “I suppose it does answer a lot of questions.”

He eyed his lover warily. “Why are you taking this so well?”

“I have no idea. Give me a minute.” Mike rose to his feet. “What I do know is I need a drink.”

Skeptical of his mate’s unruffled reaction, he followed him through the backdoor into the kitchen. He leaned against the bar, studying the other man’s every move. His lover reached into the fridge and grabbed a beer. After he’d downed the entire contents in one long gulp, he tossed the bottle in the trash, released a loud belch then sagged against the counter behind him.

“I’m not going to lie, that was some fucked up shit.” Mike lifted his arm and rubbed the nape of his neck. “But I’m dealing. I just wish you had told me sooner. It would’ve saved me a hell of a lot of trouble, and maybe it might’ve helped me understand you better.”

“This is not only my secret to share. The entire livelihood of my pack depends on what I just revealed to you. I need to know I can trust you with this.”

If I can trust you with my life? Since that’s what was at stake. Quite literally.

Mike’s head jerked as if he’d been slapped. A fierce glower marred his face, the hard glint in his gaze relaying his offence.

“It’s a bit late to question your trust in me, don’t you think?” He threw his hands in the air in an exaggerated motion and shouted at the ceiling. “Jesus Christ, Damien. Sometimes you make my fucking head hurt.”

Startled by the outburst, he stifled the sudden urge to laugh. It definitely wasn’t the appropriate time, but he’d never witnessed his usual calm and collected lover’s flair for dramatics. He crossed the kitchen, compelled to touch him, pausing when he stood a foot away. He gazed into the crystal-blue eyes that had snared him from the start.

“Sorry, baby.” He laid his hand against the side of his mate’s throat, rubbing his thumb over his flushed cheek.
