Ethan stared at Caleb with tortured eyes before taking a small step back, his head shaking slowly, a shuttered expression falling on his face.

“It must just be because you haven’t been around her in so long. But as soon as you see Vick again, it will change.” His voice was flat. Resigned. And driving a knife into Nat’s gut yet again.

Caleb snorted.

“You’ve already proven you don’t know how this works. I know who I want. Who I love. And it is and always will be Nat.”

He pulled her into his body more strongly.

“You know what? Tell daddy whatever you want. Because it won’t make a difference. And if anyone tries to hurt her…” Nat swallowed at the menace in his tone and the darkness in his eyes. “They won’t try again.”

He looked down at her, a grin spreading across his face.

“I’m ready to go,” he said as he swept her up into his arms to carry her around the car.

“Wait! I didn’t get to ask anything!”

“Yes you did!”

“But he didn’t answer! Caleb…” she whined, but he was already putting her inside the car.

“Didn’t you hear? I’m the alpha. Shh. We’re going home.”

He snickered when she glared and tried to shove him away, pausing to kiss her softly for a moment and waiting until her lips softened under his before pulling back. His hand reached up to rub the worried line between her brows.

“You’re giving me a headache with that line,” he teased, but she couldn’t bring herself to laugh. Fear was eating her up inside.

“What if—“

He kissed her firmly, halting her mid-sentence, before quickly pulling away and closing the door. Nat leaned back with a groan as she waited for him to get in the car with her, barely noticing that he stopped and spoke to Ethan for a moment.

And then he was climbing in beside her with a smile in his eyes, his hand slipping under her skirt. She didn’t even try to stop him. She just clung to his wrist and turned to stare at the window as he drove.

“Hey,” he said softly, squeezing her thigh as they pulled out of the lot. “Where are you going?”

Probably to some sort of wolf hell for stealing him.

“Just…thinking,” she sighed.

“Yeah, bad thoughts. Don’t listen to Ethan, Nat. Clearly he’s bought into whatever his dad has told him but it’s not true.” His tone was stern, and she turned toward him, her eyes pleading.

“But what if it is?”

“It’s not!”

“But what if it is!” she cried, getting louder as he glowered at her. “You don’t know! What if you meet her and everything suddenly makes sense? And you realize you made a terrible mistake with me!”

“Nat—“

“No! You can say whatever you want, but you don’t know!”

“I do know! I already met her!”

Nat blinked in shock.

“And you didn’t tell me?”

“I didn’t remember! Clearly she couldn’t have meant that much to me. And she doesn’t sound like the nicest person either, by the way. Evidently she hit me as soon as we met.”

A frown touched her lips.
