Chapter Seven

Keonae looked upon Lark, the need to wrap his arms around her and spank her at war within him. How dare she think to run out on him! Did she not understand the pull he had to her? The craving he could not seem to sate?

He glanced to Sachin, thinking on what he’d said. Keonae’s eyes widened. He took a giant step back. “She cannot be.”

Sachin grinned. “We all suffer the same reaction, old friend. Denial simply wastes time you could be spent loving her. Would you rather not be in bed, filling her with your young ones?”

“You would be an expert on denying your feelings for your mate,” said Rossi. “And on little ones. You have how many now?”

Sachin offered a cross look.

Rossi laughed. “Hey, I’m not wrong.”

No. He wasn’t. Sachin had denied his feelings for his mate far longer than Keonae. None of that changed the fact that Lark could not be his mate.

“She is not my mate.”

Lark crossed her arms over her chest and lifted a brow. There was no mistaking the clear offense she’d taken at his comments. “I may not understand everything going on here, but I have a feeling a true mate is someone special. Are you saying I’m not special?”

Rossi snorted. “Talk yourself out of this one, brother.”

Keonae touched his scarred face. “She is stunning. She is a ray of light. She is good and pure. I am hideous. A monster with the taint of wars and death upon me. The bird gods would not shackle her to someone such as me. They would give her a man of honor, of means, of character.”

Sachin rolled his eyes. “So you are saying they would gift her a man who at great cost to himself fought to protect his kingdom, who is a prince by birth, wealthy beyond measure yet lives like he is poor, and a man who would lay down his life for those he loves?”

“Yes,” said Keonae, reflecting. “That. They would give her that in a mate.”

“He is describing you,” Lazar said.

Keonae took another step back. “She is so beautiful. To be selected as my true mate and to get me—a hideous monster. I’m a beast and she’s a beauty.”

He yanked his shirt over his head, showing off his upper body, knowing the extent of the damage that had been done to him long ago by a group of vultures. They had taken turns clawing him open, dumping human soil into the wounds and then repeating the actions, before snapping his bones, laughing as his body fought to heal the damage but in the end failed.

He stared at Lark, wanting her to see how disgusting he was. He expected her to recoil in horror. The crazed woman licked her lips as if she was thinking of sliding closer and touching him.

Did she not see him?

“Holy crap, you’re totally ripped,” she said, her voice breathy. “You’re the sexiest man I have ever seen.”

His jaw set. Was she daft? “Look at me. See what is before you, woman.
