Chapter Seven

For the second time in his life, his mate walked out on him. And for the second time, he didn’t fight for her to stay.

It was fucking killing him.

His tiger form tore out of him the second her rented SUV disappeared down his drive. It was a shift he could have stopped, but he didn’t fight it. When he was in tiger form, thought was easier, simpler. The pain wouldn’t be as sharp.

Or so he’d hoped.

But even as he followed her down his winding driveway, making sure she got to the main road safely, pain tore at his heart.

If anything, his animal form cleared his extraneous thoughts, so the pain hit harder.

But one question wouldn’t leave him alone.

Could she be right?

But what if he trusted his tiger, and it let him down again? He’d tried to kill his father in a blacked out state. Who was to say he wouldn’t do the same to her if he let his guard down?

She’s not your father.

Hell, his father wasn’t exactly a dad—wasn’t a good man in the strictest sense. And when his tiger struck, it was likely to protect his mother. His father had been yelling at her—again. Yelling about the shitty son she’d borne.

The tiger inside of him was stronger than the average, a bigger part of him than in most. But the animal wasn’t a monster.

After seeing her safely as far as he dared, he returned to his cabin and shifted back into a man. Her scent lingered in his home, filling every nook and cranny. He half expected her to come out of that guest room at any moment, a smile ready for him when their eyes met.

His gaze fell to his hands, and holding his breath, he shifted his claws. He stared at them. Was he overreacting to what had happened when he was a child? The urge to bite his mate—even as overwhelming as it was—did it actually mean something was wrong?

Evie’s voice echoed in his head. But you didn’t bite me.

His control had held, even though he’d wanted to mark her, claim her, more than anything.

A sharp noise cut into his thoughts. His cell phone. Evie? His heart leapt into his throat, and he snatched the device off the table.

Not Evie. His heart sank and he sat in the chair, considering if he should answer.

Fuck. His day was already ruined. Maybe his life. Why the hell not?

“Erick,” he said by way of greeting.

“I’ve been…asked to call. Find out if you’ve claimed your mate.” Hushed whispers that Nicolas couldn’t make out scolded Erick on the other end of the line. His brother added, dryly, “Or to ask something less impolite than that but means the same thing.”

Fuck. He hadn’t talked to his brother in years. Asking him for a favor to get Evie to his cabin had been difficult—though easy compared to the thought of not having her there. But that didn’t mean he was ready for heart-to-hearts with the man. “Mating has changed you.”

“You have no idea.
