With legs made of lead and a rapid heartbeat that wouldn’t slow down, I rounded the corner to the rehab center and found Caspian sitting in one of the booths. A hot cup of coffee sat in front of him, the rising steam visible this far away. An obscure painting was on the wall, and most of the dining area was empty with the exception of a few guests.

There he was…my father-in-law.

His hands were joined together in his lap, and he stared straight ahead, his shoulders wide and his eyes unblinking. He had dark hair like his son, though there were sprinkles of gray within the locks. But his eyes were exactly the same, pools of espresso. His facial structure was similar to his son’s, innately masculine. Maverick must have inherited his softer features from his mother, making him so handsome.

There was still time to turn around and call the whole thing off.

But seeing him there gave me some hope. Lily had called and asked him to come…and he did.

He wasn’t completely heartless after all.

I entered the dining room and caught his attention. His eyes flicked to me, and with a predatory gaze, he watched me approach his table. Just like Maverick, he never gave the impression he was surprised or caught off guard. Like he’d been expecting me the entire time, he was calm.

I approached the table, my heart beating like a drum. I slid into the booth and sat across from him, his bold eyes boring into mine as if they could cut right through me. His wrath was palpable, his desire for murder practically audible. Maverick was nowhere nearby. He was probably at the office at the house, nowhere close enough to help me. I suddenly felt like an unguarded sheep, not nearly as secure as I was when my wolf was keeping his eyes on the perimeter. I was really on my own…and I felt it.

Caspian stared at me with unblinking eyes. He took in my features with a coldness that felt like ice. He slowly moved his hands to the surface of the table, showing me that he didn’t have a weapon in hand. He leaned forward slightly, trying to intimidate me with his glare.

I got the attention of the waitress. “May I get a coffee?”

Caspian’s glare deepened at the way I’d brushed him off.

The hot mug was placed in front of me.

Just to be obnoxious, I took a drink.

Caspian didn’t move.

I set the mug down and regarded him again, coldly but still playful.

“You’re a stupid girl. My son is doing everything he can to protect you, and you’re sneaking around behind his back. He should kill you for that kind of disobedience.”

“Disobedience?” I cocked an eyebrow. “I’m a woman—not a dog.”

“You’re a bitch if you ask me.”

Just when I thought this man couldn’t get worse, he raised the bar. “I didn’t arrange this meeting so you could insult me. I didn’t arrange it so I could insult you either—even though I should.”

“Then what do
