Chapter Thirteen – Tyler

TYLER THOUGHT about digging in his heels, but Seth might throw Tyler over his shoulder. “What. The. Hell, Seth?”

Seth slowed, but he didn’t stop until they reached their truck. “Sorry, babe.” He opened Tyler’s door and motioned impatiently for him to enter.

“Again, what the hell?” Tyler snarled, hopping into the passenger seat. “Jesus, we just left Brier there. What’s got into you?” He couldn’t believe they’d done that.

Seth fired up the truck and slung gravel as they pulled off. “We… we had to leave. Brier wasn’t… he wasn’t kidding when he said he was ready to mate and to hell with the consequences.”

Tyler checked the passenger door mirror. Wow, there were black marks on the pavement. Concerned, he peered at Seth. Holy shit, Seth gripped the steering wheel so hard that his knuckles were white. Was that a bead of sweat by his hairline?

“Brier was serious, and I wasn’t sure I could…. Motherfucking hell.” Seth shuddered. “I wanted to mate him, especially when he bared his throat. Fuck, Tyler,” Seth swore loudly. “That urge to bite him, to taste his blood—that’s a mating thing with you guys.”

Tyler understood. He’d felt the same things, plus Brier had smelled so… decadent. He yearned for Brier, was on fire for him. Even his cat took notice and grumbled.

“I know, babe. Believe me. I’m so hard, I hurt.” Seth dragged his hand over his forehead, wiping away the sweat. Then he shoved at the bulge in his pants. “But we can’t. Answer me this: say we mated now but his Alpha rejects us. Because of that, Brier leaves. Will we ever know if he left his clowder because he wanted to or because he had to? Would he then regret our mating?”

“Shit.” The burning need coursing through Tyler evaporated like water on a hot day. When Seth put it like that….

“Exactly.” As Seth calmed, he loosened his grip on the poor steering wheel. “If we mated earlier, we’d be taking away his choice, because let’s face it, there’s a distinct possibility his Alpha will reject us.”

Tyler massaged his forehead. Why were things never simple? “I hate that you’re right. But dammit, we’re here for a reason.” She’d made that very clear.

“True. But did she say the clowder would accept us? Or that we get that fabled happily ever after?”

Seth’s words hit him like a bucket of cold water. “Shit.”

“Yeah.”

Surely she didn’t expect Tyler to find his other mate, save werecats as a species, and then be kicked to the curb because he wasn’t pure. Or because Seth was something the West Fall’s clowder refused to accept. He deserved better, and so did Seth.

The pain Seth would inflict on himself alone made Tyler’s fangs itch to lengthen. Anger built. He was so damn sick of them being hated. By all that’s holy, tell me this won’t end with us heartbroken. Please, my goddess.

Trust in me, child. You are the one and only.

The budding anger wilted. Well, it wasn’t much in the way of reassurance, but he trusted Bast.
