Chapter Seven

Mira paced the inside of the small cabin, and with every minute that passed her beast became more on edge. The tigress within didn’t like being separated from the man that was supposed to be her mate, not with the bond incomplete. She was even more on edge because he seemed to be upset that they were to be mated. At first, she might have been appalled that she was to be his mate, and it was true that originally she would not have chosen him, but that had begun to change. She had seen a different side of him, one that was gentle, and she wanted to explore that. Even with her worst doubts, her beast didn’t seem to care about his past. It only wanted the mating.

She’d rather she had more time to get to know him before she was pushed into cementing the bond, yet she’d do what she needed to. There was a question that floated through her thoughts that she didn’t want to face. Am I willing to leave my clan? If David had taken over the clan, what did it mean for them? Would she be welcomed back, or would he reject her since he had worked so closely with Frank?

Mating with Styx would mean she wasn’t just starting her life over, or just with him, but also with a whole new clan. She was a supporter, but she’d have to find a way to give more to the Alaskan Tigers. Did she even have a skill that was worthy of them? Frank had kept most of the clan submissive, crushing all their desires. He’d give them jobs they hated so they wouldn’t be overly successful. He never wanted anyone growing so much that he’d have to squash them down again. He made sure all of us were thoroughly squashed.

“I’m not sure who’s more conflicted, you or him.”

She paused and found Theodore reclined on the sofa, his head resting against the pillows, but his eyes on her. “The rollercoaster ride of life,” she retorted.

“You’ve been pacing for twenty minutes. Have you come to any decisions yet?”

“Decisions on what? I’m not the one who just walked out of here.”

“Raja’s words cut deep for Styx. He’s duty oriented, and the idea of not being able to perform his duties is a hard pill to swallow.”

She stopped pacing and came to sit on the chair next to the sofa. “I’m not a duty.”

“You’re right. He might have come here out of duty, but you’re his mate. Nonetheless, that wasn’t what I meant.” He adjusted so he could get a better look at her. “I meant that he doesn’t like the idea that he’s pressured into this mating in order to continue doing the only thing that he’s devoted his life to. Protecting Tabitha and the Elders. He’s strong enough to be an Alpha of his own clan, but he won’t do it.”

“I asked him about that, and he said it was because no one would follow him due to his past.
