Vane was furious. That stubborn, self-righteous little human. How dare he go against Vane’s commands? He was an employee here, nothing else. How did he have the audacity to stand up to Vane and refuse to leave?

Pacing in his office, Vane struggled to find a solution. He’d allowed Moss to stay in an outburst of temper, but he could still take it back. But Moss would just grow even more obstinate if Vane tried that. The little fool didn’t even realize what he was risking by staying here. Once more, Vane cursed himself for going on his first impulse and allowing a pretty face and a set of beautiful eyes to sway him from his natural course. He never should have hired Moss in the first place, especially knowing the conflict of interest existing in Moss’s heart. Now, he was stuck with a human who wouldn’t leave.

Kier peeked into the office, and Vane immediately waved him to come in. “What happened?” Kier asked.

“I fired Moss,” Vane explained. “He refuses to go.”

“I’m sorry, what?” Kier’s eyes widened. “I think I misheard you.”

“Don’t look so shocked,” Vane mumbled. “You knew that I would attempt to get Moss out of here.”

“Yes, but…I didn’t expect him to fight you on it. Does he know why you’re sending him away?”

“I mentioned that it would be dangerous for him to remain here.” Kind of. “I suppose I didn’t explain as well as I could have, but still, I’m his employer. Shouldn’t he have to obey my orders?”

Kier almost looked bemused now, his dark eyes sparkling with mirth. “Well, pardon me for saying this, Vane, but you can make him conform. You have authority and power over him. It’s not like he can push you into accepting him in your house if you truly don’t want him here.”

Vane glowered at his friend. “And what do you suggest? Throwing him out into the street? Forcibly boarding him on a ship? It will never work, and I wouldn’t do that to him.”

Moss was simply too stubborn. Yes, Vane could grab him and take him to a ship, but for all he knew, the human would just come back. By that time, the situation might grow even more dangerous. If Vane didn’t have at least a promise of cooperation from Moss, he couldn’t take any steps to pursue Moss’s safety.

“Why do you even care?” Kier inquired. “Do you think it’ll hurt his feelings or what?”

Hurt his feelings. That was the reason why Moss refused to leave, because of the strange emotions always bubbling between him and Vane. But if that obstacle disappeared…

No, Vane didn’t want to think about that option just yet. As much as he tried to deny it, Moss was precious to him. He’d just have to find another way to coax Moss into safety. The human was intelligent. Once he truly understood what he risked, he’d agree.

Taking a deep breath, Vane struggled to calm down. Ignoring Kier’s questions, he said, “For now, I’ll give it a little time and see how the situation progresses.
