Chapter Four

When a knock echoed through the empty house in the middle of

the day, Luz had no doubt who was on the other side. Bracing herself

for the battle to come, she straightened to her full five feet eleven inch-es. Last night was a major error on her part. The clawing loneliness

had outweighed the logical, but did not mean she was about to travel

a road she knew to be a dead end. The emotions between them re-

mained, but the reasons why they could never be together were vast,

too vast to risk her heart.

“We need to talk about what happened last night,” he said. Kalyx

pushed his way past her the moment she opened the door.

Come on in Kalyx, she thought, irked by his behavior. “There’s

nothing to talk about.” An arrogant jerk replaced the sweet boy I grew up with.

“After last night, how can you say that?” he sputtered. A scowl

painted on his Cupid’s bow lips as he pinned her with flashing eyes.

“Because it’s the truth. I was lonely and you were there.”

“Don’t insult me,” he snapped stepping forward deep into her

personal space.

Her heart jumped and her nipples pebbled as want endangered

the aloof air she struggled to maintain. He was like a shark in water:

one hint of blood and he would go in for the kill.

“Back off,” she warned, her desire twisting her stomach into knots

as her center wept.

“Or what, Luzy?” he asked as he moved in closer. “Your body

admits what you continue to deny. You’re so wet right now I can taste

you on the tip of my tongue.” His body was so close his breath tickled

her ear and evoked a deep shiver.

“Chemistry was never our problem.” She cleared her throat as

she looked away and effectively erected the walls keeping them apart.

“We’re not children anymore; we can make our own choices

now.” His voice sounded desperate as she retreated further.

“You may believe that, but I know better.”

“Luz.”

“Just go, Kalyx, you might have forgotten what it’s like to be an

immutable, but I can’t,” she spat, disgusted.

“Luz—”

“Now!” The force behind her roar shocked them both in to tempo-

rary silence as her chest heaved.

“This is far from over.” The sentence was an ominous promise as

he headed for the door and left her alone in the silent house.

Parked in the driveway ***

of his parents’ home, he took a deep

breath and prepared to take his life back.

“I don’t know what you did, but Dad’s on the war path,” Chase

said from his seat on the porch.

“What I’m about to say won’t make him any happier,” Kalyx ad-

mitted. “If I was you, I’d go hide out.”

“Are you sure about this?”

“This has been a long time coming.”

Kalyx’s wolf delivered a growl of approval. For two alphas to

comfortably occupy the same space one had to submit. For years he

had been the submissive. Happy to be a source of pride instead of

shame he allowed his father to arrange things as he saw fit. But now

Luz was at stake and he would not yield. Firm in his decision, he made his way inside the front door and down the hall to his father’s
