Declan’s heart pounded, he thought he would either throw up or explode seeing his mate talk to the massive shifter. The bear’s scent had to be washing over Avery, masking every other odor around her, she would never be able to scent Declan from where he stood. It pissed him the hell off.

Something in the recesses of his brain told him to get to Chugs, to drop everything and go there that second. The moment he’d walked in the door, he knew why.

“Don’t worry, she isn’t,” Declan said, walking up to Avery. Wrapping her in his arms, pulling her close. She relaxed against him momentarily then stiffened, pushing away.

She gasped. “What are you doing here?” She looked horrified at her momentary weakness to allow him to comfort her.

He frowned. Didn’t she know? Couldn’t she sense why? He was there for her.

Sadness filled her eyes, punching him in the gut.

“Oh,” she said flatly, “you’ve come to tell me you aren’t interested. Don’t worry. I got the message. No need to make me feel worse than I already do.”

A muscle in his jaw ticked as his teeth ground together. “What did you say?” He couldn’t have heard her correctly. Not interested? Like hell! He blew past the point of interested the day before when she ran from him. He was at the need-her-with-his-next-breath-or-he-would-die stage already.

She licked her lips nervously, bewitching Declan with her pink tongue swiping equally pink, plump lips. “You don’t want me. I already know. Believe me. I don’t need you to tell me to my face. Your actions spoke loud enough for you.”

He’d been so focused on her lips, wondering how they would feel against his, how she would taste, he almost missed the crazy-ass words coming out of her mouth. “My actions?” His forehead wrinkled in confusion. He hadn’t done anything for or to her—yet.

“Yes. When you walked right by me in class yesterday then spent the entire hour glaring at me, I came to a conclusion all on my own—you aren’t happy I’m your mate. I get it. Some people aren’t pleased with their mates when they first find them. While I don’t think I’m hideous or anything, something about me must have turned you off. You haven’t spent time with me, much less talked to me. What else am I supposed to think? I hoped whomever my mate ended up being, he would at least introduce himself before deciding to toss me aside like trash.”

She paused, and Declan opened his mouth to respond. “I—”

“That isn’t how you go about deciding if people are guilty or not, is it?” she accused. “You don’t grab up the first person that meets the description or is standing the closest, do you? You’re a pretty shitty cop if you do.”

Holy shit. What did he start with first? Best to leave the remarks about his job alone for now. “Wait a minute, Avery. I admit to being shocked when I saw you sitting in the same class I was taking, and I may not have been exactly thrilled about finding my mate when I did.
