Kane furrowed his brow “Okay, but can I ask why the hell you’re giving the wolves anything? Seeh the truce between our two kinds is there, it's fucking thin at best”

I didn’t hold back the low sound of warning that spilled frootten my sister, your cousin, is roas thick in et that as much as we may not like their kind, I have nephews and a niece who are half-wolf, and I’d die protecting them” I bared my teeth “So a war—even if you two fuckersto happen Got it?”

Sebastian, the stoic fucker he was, didn’t speak, just kept his hands clasped behind his back as he inclined his head

“Like you don’t want a bloody fight as well,” Kane muttered “Like you aren’t hard up to kill” I kept still, quiet, as he kept talking out of his ass “I saw the fearsome brutality toward those huot off on it, Cousin”

I was in front of Kane in the next instant, my hand wrapped around his throat, his body lifted up and off the ground as I pressed hiht my face close to his I keptthe cold brutality I was known for

“You forget because you’re fae, Kane” I stared hih all ere in this position would cower before me, Kane kept his face a blank mask “I can’t control what you think, Cousin, but fahts to yourself, you feel htenedhis face redden, his lips darken frohting me off

I was off hi down the wall before he caught hied breath and rubbed at his thickly muscled neck “Yeah, I feel you,” he finally muttered in a strained voice as he continued to rub his throat

I looked at Sebastian, only a year younger than Kane, yet the two could have been twins Sebastian, ever the stone here emotions were concerned, set the fuck out They left a second later, closing the door behind the me with my foul-ass mood still in place

I walked back over to theand stared down at the huness, this rare ift I latched onto

I thought about Cian and his mate, about my sister, Luna, her Lycan mate, and their four hybrid children Two had already found their Linked Mates, the ter their fated ones I wasn’t foolish enough that I’d ever be gifted my female My Coveted One I was toozero I wouldn't be able to cherish a female as deemed by fate as mine and mine alone

But I was curious about such a thing, a connection two people in the Otherworld had I’d watched Cian with his mate, saw the way he looked at her, that protectiveness and the possession in his eyes He didn't care who saw In fact, I was pretty sure he wanted others to see and know, to fucking feel that she was his

What I knew for sure was if I ever found my female, she’d be sure to hate me, to loathe who and what I was She’d look into ive Of course, instinctively I'd be drawn to her, the need to protect her taking over I’d heard enough about thephenomenon to knoorked But to care for her wholly? To love her?

I wasn't capable of such emotions I wasn't capable of any

I stood there a fewbut livestock below, bags of flesh and blood, short life spans, and hollow dreams The doors to the hts and hazy atmosphere of the interior The hallway from those doors to the front ones that led outside was short and allowedline of custoet inside

Two patrons, a man and a wo to co off the double doors
