Chapter Fourteen

Chaos erupted at our backs, and if the concussion wave of noise had been any bigger, the rest of my updo would’ve been blown to ribbons. I swept aside the tendrils that had actually fallen free in my mad dash for the door and clutched the sides of my shaking head. This was barely any better than what I’d just been so afraid he was doing. If he chose Kiana over me, at least I’d have a reason to leave. Now, I would have to stay. And so would Evan and Cody and everyone else I’d sunk my teeth into.

Sebastian’s glittering golden-brown eyes slid over to mine and instantly clouded with shame behind his useless glasses. My fingers raked my cheeks as they curled into fists on their way to cover my rapidly wrinkling mouth. Sebastian believed he’d just broken the news about being a Beta to me too. He didn’t know I’d already realized this had to be his truth. He had been worried I would leave him, and now he was reading my reaction as proof.

Kiana’s head snapped around, following his wounded gaze. An array of emotions flickered across the face that mirrored my own—shock, alarm, ambitious exultation… and relief. My shoulders sagged with that last one also, dropping my hands to my sides. She really didn’t want him for herself. Not the way I wanted him, anyway.

Then take him. Nowwww. What are you wait —

“What is the meaning of this, Sebastian?” Father’s voice boomed louder than I ever believed possible in his new fully human condition, snapping my head around now. He strode our way with Evan fast on his heels. “First, you were my daughter’s fated mate, now you’re my pack’s Beta Heir?”

“My pack,” Kiana growled.

“My daughter,” Father growled right back, and after years of struggling to keep my head above water in this family, I was buoyed by his newfound ferocity on my behalf. He shouldered past Kiana and went nose-to-nose with my prodigal mate, backing him up against the door until they were both framed in profile. “Explain yourself, pup.”

Kiana fell back to my left side, biceps bulging as she folded her arms over her chest. Evan appeared on my right, lacing his clammy fingers through mine. I tore my eyes away from my speechless mate to the male who’d just pledged me all his, um, seed.

“Are you okay?” Evan’s blue eyes searched mine. “I know how much you wanted to promise me your womb.”

I fought to keep my laugh on the inside. “I’ll be okay. Thank you.”

We squeezed each other’s hands, and that, thank Leto, was the end of that.

“Well?” Father barked in Sebastian’s face, doing his best to push out his frail chest. “How are we supposed to believe a word out of your fickle mouth? You claimed Elyse and then abandoned her on a battlefield. Now you claim to be our Beta rather than Manhattan’s Alpha Heir? I’m beginning to think you don’t even know who you are.”

“I didn’t.” Sebastian
