Chapter Twelve

Nate ran down the porch steps then hurried across the yard towards the bunkhouse, his heart breaking with every step he took. He’d never felt as alone and as filled with despair as he did at that moment.

Nate had believed Jared when he’d told him he didn’t want to get involved because of Tristan, and the fact that he wanted to make sheriff.

Why wouldn’t he?

He genuinely hadn’t imagined it was because Jared just didn’t want him, which was quite obviously the case. They’d only found out they were mated a few days ago and already Jared was going out with another man? Nate had an insane urge to find the guy and rip his Goddamn throat out with his bare hands.

As the fury bubbled up inside him, a tear escaped the corner of his eye and slid slowly down his cheek.

What the fuck?

He was crying like some little kid now?

He brushed it away roughly then balled his hands into fists at his sides, fury replacing the sorrow. He’d made it halfway across the yard to the bunkhouse when he stopped in his tracks and then changed direction, heading out toward the corral.

It wouldn’t do him any good to be inside.

In his current mood, he’d probably end up tearing the place apart. He needed to displace some of the anger and pent-up energy that was driving his wolf to distraction. He needed to run, that would be sure to help, but it was the middle of the day and he couldn’t take the risk of being seen.

The horses.

They always calmed him down.

He’d take Misty out to the north pasture to try to tame his mood.

“Hey Nate! Wait up!”

Nate closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

Tristan.

He seemed like a good kid, and Nate liked him a lot, but Tristan was the last person Nate wanted to deal with in his current mood. The kid looked so much like Jared. They had the same beautiful green eyes. How could he look into those eyes and not be reminded of his mate?

“Nate?”

Nate turned slowly and tried to smile at the young wolf, but his lips didn’t as much as twitch. “Hey Tristan.”

“Where you going?”

“For a ride on one of the horses.”

It looked as if Nate had said the magic word. Tristan’s eyes lit up, and his mouth curved up into a broad grin, the likes of which he’d never seen on the kid’s face before.

“Can I come?”

Nate was about to tell Tristan what a bad idea he thought that was, but when he saw the excited look on the young wolf’s face, he couldn’t say no. He didn’t want to let Tristan down.

He had a feeling the kid had had enough to deal with lately.

“Sure, you know how to ride?”

Tristan nodded enthusiastically. “Yeah, I had lessons when I was a kid. It’s been a few years since I was on a horse, though.”

Nate shrugged. “It’s not something you forget. Come on, let’s get the horses saddled.”

They worked in relative silence while they got Misty and Lightning ready to be taken out.
