BLAZE

As soon as we’re inside of my suite and the door closes, I use the last of my strength to push Evelyn against a wall. She releases the softest sound of surprise. Seeing as she half carried me here, she definitely didn’t anticipate me cornering her, but I need her to listen to me for once in her fucking life.

“What are you doing?” Her eyes flare in surprise, and her pulse jumps as I wrap my fingers around her throat. “Is this where you try to finish me off?” she whispers.

She knows I can’t fight her right now. I’m a joke to her. Chest tight from whatever Death did, my breaths come in hard pants and it’s taking every ounce of energy to hold her in place.

“Evelyn.” Her name comes out half growled, and a sexy smirk tugs at the corners of her mouth.

“What is it, boy? Timmy fell in the well?”

Glaring at her, I tighten my fingers just enough to shut her up. Her mouth forms an O shape, and I ignore the way my cock twitches. “I told you not to fight.”

The smile falls, and her emotions shutter. “I thought you lied.”

“Why would I do that?”

She presses her lips together.

“Dammit, Evelyn. You’re the only one here I trust. Why would I lie to you? Why would I lie to my—” I cut off. What the hell was I about to say? That we’re mates? My wolf has had his sights set on her since the first time she kicked my ass, and he hasn’t let up. But vampires and wolves? That’s not heard of. “I wasn’t lying,” I grouse. Darkness dots my vision, and I grunt but try to keep my shaking hand around her throat.

I need her to stay put. I need her to know that I would never hurt her. I’d sooner die. I almost did. Was it worth it? Absolutely. These hellish beings want us to be their pawns, and I refuse. I won’t hurt the one woman who means more than she should. I can’t. My head swims, and I make an annoyed noise.

“I won’t hurt you.”

“I realize that now,” she says, features softening and hand wrapping around my wrist. “You’re hurt, Blaze.” She easily peels my fingers from her throat, and my knees buckle, but she catches me like I weigh nothing. “Fucking Death,” she grumbles. “All right, big guy, let’s get you to the bed and then you’re going to drink my blood.”

A mumbled protest tumbles from my lips, but the sounds don’t make any sense. And yet, she understands.

“Don’t argue with me, pup.”

God, it’s annoying when she calls me names, but I love that she does. She doesn’t do that with other wolves. I haven’t heard her do it with other vampires. That has to mean something.

“Here we are.” She shoves me and I stumble back, the backs of my knees hitting the mattress before I tip over. She climbs after me, settling with her knees on either side of me and her center pressing into mine.
