Chapter Ten

It would be easy enough for Knox to blame his lack of sleep on the storm outside. It was going to be a memorable one, the winds picking up speed and force by the minute, icy sleet clattering against the windows like a snare drum. Heck, he could even hear it pounding the roof of his truck, hailstones the size of golf balls from the sound of it.

The problem was that Knox never lied—and blaming his insomnia on anything but his own damn spinning thoughts would be a whopper. He'd been in the Boundarylands long enough to have weathered worse blizzards, and he knew there wasn't a damn thing to be done until the storm was over and he could get out and assess the damage. Unless the storm picked his house up off its foundation and tossed it down the hill, Knox would ordinarily have no trouble sleeping through it. Even then, it would take a hell of a lot more than a little sleet to damage his house.

Just like Knox himself, the cabin was built like a fortress.

Briefly, Knox wished that alphas could lie to themselves as easily as betas did. Worrying about storm damage would be a hell of a lot easier than obsessing over the real reason he was awake and staring at his ceiling: Josie had been living in his house for seven days now.

And she probably had no idea how astounding that was. Knox wondered what she'd make of the fact that he'd spent more time with her in the last week than he'd spent with any of his alpha brothers over the last decade.

Not only that, they had spent the time together doing very un-Knox-like things: talking and sharing and getting to know each other. Even when Knox was with other alphas—and he did enjoy their company, even if a little went a long way—it wasn't what anyone would consider deep conversation. No, a little bullshit, a few laughs, and a healthy dose of sarcasm were more his style.

Knox had to think all the way back to his adolescence to come up with anyone he'd felt as close to as he did to Josie. Who understood him as well as she did now. Who knew so many of his secrets.

The truth was that there wasn't a soul in the world who knew him better.

Which was a huge fucking problem.

Because given everything Josie knew about Knox, the fact that she gazed at him with her wide, shimmering emerald eyes full of admiration meant that what she saw was an illusion. She acted like he was some kind of hero, while anyone else who'd spent an hour in his company knew he wasn't. All Josie would have to do was ask any one of his alpha brothers about his character, and they'd be happy to tell her what an asshole he could be.

Knox Collier, they would be happy to let her know, was selfish. Uncaring. Deeply cynical, occasionally cruel, and sometimes even vicious.

And Knox would have to agree.
