Chapter Fifteen

“Gods have mercy, they’re wearing their shiftskins in broad daylight.” Max stalked away from the floor-length window overlooking 59th Street. “Have they lost their minds? The only reason I even agreed to this merger in the first place was because Phelan and I agreed we must maintain our secrecy!”

Sebastian and I continued watching through the window as shifter after shifter strode across the crosswalk and turned toward the Plaza’s main entrance. I swallowed the tang of bacon that kept working its way back into my mouth. Max had insisted I eat before facing my former pack in case it came to blows, but clearly the blows were coming. Kiana knew damn well that an alpha male like Sebastian would never give in to a female’s demands. It would make him look hopelessly weak in front of both packs—as his rejection had done to her. Nothing short of winning a war could ever heal my sister’s wounded ego.

Stone-faced, Sebastian turned from the window and began unbuttoning his shirt. I tried not to look, but the view through the window was giving me the creeps, and my eyes kept trying to find somewhere else to land, and there was a lot of him to land on. He shucked off the shirt, revealing a sleeveless black shiftskin that clung to every line of his torso and showed off the priceless works of art that were his bare arms. When he reached for his fly, I forced my whole traitorous body to turn the other way.

“If you wish to stay, then you should undress,” Sebastian said gruffly. “But I wish you would return to your room. This is obviously going to get ugly. And should anything happen to you, it will all have been for nothing.”

“I won’t hide from my sister.” I licked my dry lips. “You could always just surprise her and say yes. Then she would have no choice but to honor the original agreement.”

“I will take no mate but you.” Sebastian said fiercely. “And if I lose you today, I will spend the rest of my life alone.”

“Join the club honey.” I whirled around, glaring. “Because if you lose, you’ve successfully taken me from my only home and made it impossible to go back. If you won’t keep your promise to my sister, then your pack’s only hope for keeping the peace is my ability to appeal to my father.”

That worked so well last night.

I know. We’re totally fluffed. Hush.

Sebastian narrowed his eyes. “And what sort of appeal do you intend to make? I will not relinquish my claim, Elyse. You will be my mate.”

I looked away, furious with him and myself. Because there was some small part of me, some small and mindless, dangerously primal part of me that stirred at his words even as my mind rejected them. He was winning over my wolf with his caveman crap. I realized with a start that she’d fought me on Blaze because she knew he didn’t really want to mate with me either.
