It felt as though something unlatched in Trey’s chest. He watched Sadie’s face blaze triumphant in rage only to scatter to ashes in defeat. She cried, her tears like ragged blades ripping into his soul. He wanted to give her what she wanted but he didn’t know how. She’d said she hated him and he believed her.

Why shouldn’t she? He’d given her no reason not to.

“Let her cry it out.” Diskant emerged from the shadows. “It’s what she needs.”

“Is it?” Trey asked quietly, trying to hold his mate and figure out what the fuck to do. Diskant was one of his oldest friends and the Omega was mated. Perhaps he did understand. Needing some kind of answer, he started babbling, “I’ve failed her every single time she’s turned to me for something. I thought she’d understand how important she is after I claimed her. I thought she would understand how I feel.”

“She’s a woman,” Diskant replied as though it explained everything. “They’re prone to mood swings. Trust me.” He stepped into the light, a scowl on his face. “I know what Ava did. I understand her reasoning, even if her actions were harsh. I came to apologize.” He looked at Sadie, furrowing his brows. “I think it’s a bit too late for that.”

Trey felt like lashing out but kept his temper in check. “She told you what she did?”

“Not exactly,” Diskant answered and peered over his shoulder. After a moment, his attention returned to Sadie. “The connection I have with Ava… It’s changed.”

For the first time Diskant was revealing what Trey suspected—that Ava and Diskant communicated in some telepathic form. They’d tried to hide it but Trey was around them too much not to notice. Everyone knew Ava could hear the thoughts of humans. Many suspected she could enter the minds of shifters too. Now Trey knew for certain. Ava had a powerful ability. No wonder Diskant always knew so much. He remembered her telling Diskant she’d been listening to Sadie’s thoughts as they’d approached the house.

That was how she’d sensed their arrival.

She’d been eavesdropping.

“She told you what she was doing and you didn’t tell her to stop?”

“She didn’t tell me shit,” Diskant spat, angry. “The only reason I’m sharing this is your mate is the same. We’re both in the same fucking boat.” He huffed, shuffling his feet. “Ava doesn’t know her mental shields have weakened in the last few weeks. I can hear her even when she tries to block me out.” His jaw clenched, shoulders tense. He studied Sadie differently, glowing yellow eyes combing over her form. “I didn’t know you’d be paying us a visit. When your mate is in better shape we’ll have to find out how much she knows about Ava. We need to understand what’s going on.”

“You think she’ll tell you? Now? After what Ava’s done?” A growl crept up Trey’s throat. “If Sadie knew what Ava had planned do you honestly think she’d have left Leigh here? Do you truly believe she’d have come to us and not taken the woman somewhere else? Ava just fucked everything sideways.
