Chapter 9

“People can be lovers and enemies at the same time, you know.” - Willa Cather

The fact that Alfred stood there shouldn’t have shocked me. Yet, I’d believed Rogue when he said none of them had been here. That he hadn’t told them how to find me. I’d let myself believe he meant it when he said he wanted to help me.

“No fierce words for me, Hellion?” Alfred the Asshole asked as he straightened and began to stroll toward me.

There were any number of answers I could offer him. None I was willing to give though. I just stared at him and kept my gaze off of Rogue.

“Alfred,” Rogue began, but he didn’t finish the sentence or add anything more. Asshole pinned him with a single, unreadable look.

Irritation flared through me. “Why are you here?” If anyone got to demand an answer, it would be me. “Why don’t you go find Eleanor? I’m sure she would be more than happy to keep you company. Based on the sheer number at the party, I don’t doubt you could have a wealth of companionship. Why me?”

Eyebrow quirked, Asshole stared at me with those enigmatic eyes. “You belong to us.” Like that answered everything.

I snorted. “I belong to no one.”

“You solve nothing by running.”

“You presume I want to solve something.” I really didn’t. All I wanted to do now was leave. If he was going to be here, the chance of successfully fleeing and evading them both was nonexistent. I would simply have to bide my time. Again.

But I didn’t have to stay here and talk to him. I turned away, but he caught my arm and tugged me back to him. “Hellion,” he said. “Why are you angry with me?”

“Are you for fucking real right now?” The burn in my veins turned to acid. Still refusing to look at him, I fixed my glare on the house. It was a really nice house. It hadn’t done anything wrong, but better to stare at it than him.

“Very,” he murmured, his voice dark like it had been dipped in chocolate and danger. He stroked his hands up and down my arms. “Tell me why you are angry. You abandoned the party and fled before you could be presented. I understand you wanted to insult me. Message delivered. I forgive you…”

The acid eating away at my insides caught fire, and I wrenched myself out of his grip. Well, to be honest, I did try to wrench myself out of his grip. One of the things I’d learned over the last few weeks of freedom was that my strength and speed had increased infinitely. So not only did I know how to fight, I could seriously back it up.

Score one point for being a badass.

Didn’t matter a damn against any one of them. They were faster. They were stronger. It sucked.

“You forgive me.” While I didn’t growl, I did grit out each word through clenched teeth.

“Yes,” Asshole told me. Definitely Asshole. So much Asshole. “You are still acclimatizing, so running is normal.
