Chapter Twelve

Nyx

"I'm not an item that can be bought or auctioned off," I snap back. "I'm my own person, and I say where I go and who I go with."

Cade stares at me, his light eyes carefully scanning my face, taking in my heated response.

"We'll see," he murmurs, standing up. "I can be very persuasive, remember?"

I push to my feet, glaring at him. All the previous anger and hatred I felt for him has come rushing back. Even if I believe what he says about not being responsible for the attacks and Tyler's death, and his bullshit excuse about taking wolves to help find their mates, all of that has been undone by the inference that I'm just a possession up for grabs.

I'd never leave Lex behind. I love him, more than I ever thought possible. Even more so because he was the one who had to struggle with the fact I was mated to more than one wolf. He didn't have time to prepare, and even when he defended me, staking a claim as my mate, he still made the effort to learn to be okay with it. It took time, but when I accidentally lost control in the woods with Maverick, he didn't walk away from me.

So, I'm sure as fuck am not going to just walk away from him because this asshole thinks he has some twisted ownership on my existence that can be negotiated.

"I don't care how persuasive you think you are," I shoot back. "I'm not going to leave behind who I love. I'm not a parcel of land that you can fight over. Besides, in what damn universe do you think I would want you? You kidnapped me—well, not even you. You sent your people to take me—not even man enough to come get me yourself. I have no desire to be mated to a coward, a liar, or a thief."

Cade smiles warmly at my outburst. "And which of those do you think I am?"

"All of them," I answer quickly. "And the fact that you can sit here, treating me like a toy is disgusting. I'm a Luna. Even if you can't grasp the fact that I'm not yours, you need to respect me."

The words are falling from my lips so fast that I barely have time to register anything. I'm blinded by burning rage, the temperature rising as my body shakes with anger. My fists curl by my sides, the desire to inflict harm on him growing more and more by the minute.

He's so calm and collected about the whole situation, leading me to believe that there's an unspoken danger brewing. He knows that they are coming, and the thought makes me sick.

I can't believe anything he says. Negotiate? That sounds like a bullshit term for violence. For all I know he's lying and fully intends to take me against my will.

"Sit down, Nyx," he says coolly. "Make another coffee or something—if you can resist the urge to fling another mug at my head.
