CHAPTER 33
Following the scent of whatever was cooking, Cole descended a set of backstairs and entered a large, airy kitchen. With her back to him, Sahira stood at the island in the center. Her fingers flew as she chopped something with easy precision.
Though she remained focused on whatever she diced, the slight stiffening of her shoulders told him she was aware heâd arrived. His feet didnât make a sound as he strode across the kitchen toward her.
She didnât turn to look at him as he approached. âCan I get you something to eat, Colburn?â
He stopped at the countertop and, sniffing the air, caught the faint hint of Lexi. Sheâd been here recently.
âNo,â he said. âAnd call me Cole. You helped save my brotherâs life.â
Sahira didnât look up at him while she worked, but her jaw clenched a little.
âWhere is Lexi?â he asked.
Her fingers stopped, and the thud of the knife ceased against the wooden board. Her head remained bowed for a second before she lifted it and met his gaze. Strands of her mahogany hair had slipped loose of her bun to frame her face. Her amber eyes narrowed on him.
âStay away from her,â Sahira said.
Cole almost chuckled in amusement, but there wasnât anything funny about this. Sahira played a large role in Lexiâs life, and she didnât like him. Because of that, she would do everything she could to drive him away.
However, after the taste he got of Lexi last night, he wasnât going anywhere. He rested his hand near the stainless steel cooktop with its black, iron burners.
âAnd why would I do that?â he asked.
âBecause she deserves better.â
âBetter than me?â
âBetter than being messed with by a dark fae.â
Perhaps that was true, but he didnât care. âYou donât like the dark fae.â
Sahira tossed a handful of herbs into the large pot on the stove. âNo one likes the dark fae, Colburn.â
He lifted an eyebrow at her pointed use of his full name. She was a brazen little witch. So thatâs where we stand.
âI could say the same about witches and vampires, Sahira.â
She scowled at him while she stirred the pot.
âI could say the same about lycan and humans,â he continued.
âShe deserves better than to be messed with by a man who is only looking for one thing. Sheâs better than that. Sheâs better than you.â
Again, maybe that was true, but it wasnât going to stop him. He wanted Lexi, and he would have her. The only one who could prevent it from happening was Lexi. After last night, he didnât see that happening.
He leaned closer to her. âAnd how do you know what Iâm looking for?â
âBecause itâs what all dark fae are looking for. You have to feed, and you need victims to quell your hunger.â
âI can assure you, Sahira, there are no victims in my past. They were all willing.â
âDid they all know what you are?â
He held her fiery gaze as she stopped stirring the pot. His hand flexed on the countertop as his claws lengthened before retracting again.
