Tess stared at her hands folded in her lap as Austin’s words washed over her. The claws had retracted, and her anger at seeing Josh was gone. He wasn’t who she was pissed it. It was all directed inward. She stayed with him for so long, not seeing what a true dickhead he was. Ignoring her cheetah when she told her enough was enough. The human side was the one that thought any amount of affection meant he cared. A lesson she learned at her father’s knee.

“I don’t know. All I can say is I’m not ready for a relationship. I can’t be your mate. I’m still too messed up.” Tess had to get him to understand. He deserved someone better. A woman who would love and cherish him without bringing so much baggage into the relationship. She didn’t see herself as that woman. Not at the moment and maybe not ever. Seeing Josh and Steve tonight proved that to her in spades.

She peeked at Austin. His jaw clenched and nostrils flared in obvious irritation. She waited for him to yell and curse the ground she walked on. Instead, he relaxed his face and the fury in his eyes dissipated. “You’re right. You can’t be my mate,” he said, a deep sadness in his voice.

Tess sucked in a harsh breath. She’d thought all along, but hearing him admit it hurt more than she ever thought it would. She opened her mouth to speak, but he cut her off.

“You can’t be my mate until you let it all go…. Josh…Steve. Your shitty friends, who should have had your back, not laughed behind it. Whatever it is holding you back from accepting me. You can’t be my mate until you figure out your cheetah and human sides are one and the same. Until you allow yourself to see what is right in front of you. Me. Your mate. A man, who regardless of how long we’ve known each other, would do anything in the world to keep you from hurting.”

He walked around the front of the Jeep and climbed in. Beats of silence passed as he waited for her to buckle her seat belt, and then he drove her home. In that moment, the rest of her world crumbled around her.
