Quinn hadn’t lied. He couldn't lie – the magical rules that governed his kind forced him to always tell the truth. Whether others believed it was the truth or not was irrelevant, which came in handy with Bradley often enough.

However, that didn’t mean Quinn had to tell the whole truth at all times. He could slither out of it with some long winded answer, but that wasn’t what he did when he told Tyler what he thought about mates.

Quinn was talking about himself – the side Tyler only glimpsed from time to time and never really understood. The side he’d have to face every month if they were mates because the moon would force them to shift, and Tyler– well, he probably wouldn’t like it.

And that was on the optimistic side.

Like everyone else who faced him in that form, Tyler would grow to despise him. That’s the last thing Quinn wanted.

Sure, he was amazing to behold, like a creature created out of dreams and moonlight, but beneath the glossy surface was the darkness Quinn himself didn’t like to face – the thoughts that crowded his mind when the moon showed him the truth of the world. Shadow folk and hunters both persecuted his kind, and it wasn’t out of some misplaced fear.

Their fear was very rightfully placed.

If Tyler knew that, he wouldn’t want to help. He’d probably be as disgusted with Quinn as the Montgomery family was—like his very presence defiled things instead of showing them as they were.

Still, Quinn didn’t expect Tyler to sulk on the walk back to the community center because of his answer. He also hadn’t expected the bite on his collarbone to sting so badly.

Quinn touched it once and looked at the flakes of dried blood that came off on his fingers – like bits of rust. Hopefully, he’d be able to hide it before Bradley got a good look.

His chest clenched as he looked at Tyler. That alpha didn’t deserve a mate like Quinn—one who tricked him into a bargain for his own selfish gain. He needed someone better, yet the thought of Tyler with someone else sent a cold stab to Quinn’s heart.

When they got to the community center, Merci was waiting in the car and honked as he approached.

Tyler put up his hand in the weakest attempt at a goodbye ever. He hadn’t touched Quinn the entire walk back, and a chill settled on Quinn’s skin and sunk into his bones.

He’d probably done something wrong without realizing it. Isolated himself again because of whatever it was that made him like that. Still, he smiled and kissed Tyler gently on the cheek to hide it.

“See you next week.”

Tyler grabbed his hand. “I’ll see you after the full moon.”

Honk. Honk.

Merci leaned on the horn and yelled obscenities from the driver’s seat while he climbed into the backseat and stared at the wolf, his brown and blue hair surrounded in yellow light from the street lamps.

“Do you know how late you are? We have to go straight to Mr.
