Chapter Six

“I have a son, obviously as Karla had thrust it in your face.” Trace looked at the ground and rubbed the back of his neck with his hand. “I was going to tell you everything because I have nothing to hide, but then that shit had gone down…” Breathing out roughly he still felt his blood boiling with rage from when he had seen Karla stop right behind Candace. Not only had she fucked up their almost kiss, she had also been a bitch, put his mate down, and insulted him. Trace could handle a lot of bullshit, but his ex-wife was insane in more ways than one, and had showed a very small sample of that to Candace today. He glanced up at his mate, and even if she fought him, showed her strength and willpower, she was sweet and gentle, and a true submissive in every sense of the word. “I certainly didn’t plan on airing everything out like this, but it is what it is.” She nodded once, and so he continued. “I had no intentions of marrying Karla, because I knew the two of us were just too toxic together. We were oil and water, gasoline and fire, and the violence that came from her when things didn’t go her way rivaled some of the meanest shifters I have met, me included.” No way was he going to sugarcoat any of this for Candace.

“You included?” She stood still, not showing her emotions on her face, but she couldn’t hide the scent of her uncertainty from him.

“I like to fight, Candace, to release all this anger I have inside of me. I have always been this way, but when I found Karla in our bed with Dale, the male I considered a very close friend, something inside of me snapped, and I know I will always be like this. I may not have loved her, and may have only stayed with her, married her even because she was pregnant with my kid, but I was loyal to her, and expected the same fucking thing in return.” He started pacing and could feel rage climb higher inside of him like a tornado getting ready to touch down.

“I’m sorry.” Her voice was soft, and it broke his fucking heart. He didn’t want her feeling those things for him. He had done a lot of bad shit in his lifetime: hurt a lot of fucking people, slept with random and faceless women, and had a total disregard for everything and everyone. He was a fucker in the worst kind of way. But Trace prided himself on his loyalty, on the fact he had never screwed a friend over, and that he protected what was his.

“You have nothing to apologize for, Candace. You got stuck with an asshole for a mate.” He swallowed roughly and took a step closer to her. The scent of peaches filled his nose, and he inhaled deeply, wanting to have it seep into his very cells.
