“Don’t use that fucking tone with me.” I lock my eyes on his, “I’ve killed men like you for breakfast.””Then I will just have to kill him.””Good luck with that. He’s the Alpha’s mates brother.””What kind of shit did you get yourself involved in?” He demands.”Nothing I can’t handle.” I slide out the other side of the booth feeling a little light headed. My back cracks some more as I stretch and he asks me how long it has been since I shifted.”It’s none of your business.” I look him up and down as he stands to follow me. I didn’t even know his name and I’m not even sure I cared. I wanted Jenson back, the man I had actually gotten to know.He grabs the front of my jacket and pulls me up against him. His eyes close as he inhales my scent and I’m stupid enough to let him do it. “I don’t even know your name,” he whispers and all thoughts of Jenson fade. “Blair.” I mutter back, surprised by my own reaction. Though I couldn’t say Kitson because he would be on to me. “Blair Everwood.”I hadn’t used that name in years and it felt so weird coming from my own tongue.”Nice to meet you, Blair Everwood.” He smiles at me, showing me a dazzling set of perfectly straight white teeth. “I’m Cooper. Cooper Ash, but everyone calls me Coop.””You can’t do anything.” I mutter as my heart races.”Doesn’t mean I can’t watch you.””I can’t.” I mutter, pushing his hands away from the front of my jacket. He was here to support Neah.He frowns and takes a step back. “She wants you dead, doesn’t she? What did you do, Blair?””None of your fucking business!” Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (ƒ)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.”I’m making it my business.” I almost feel like I need to tell him. The way his eyes lock on mine feel like he is sucking the information from me and I can’t let that happen “Fuck off!” I snap, turning away and heading towards the door. Stepping out into the cool night air, his hand locks around my wrist, spinning me back around.”Not until you tell me the mess that you have gotten yourself into. Have you done something to the Alpha?”I keep my mouth shut.””Her mate?”I press my lips together even harder, willing him to go away.”You attacked her?”I close my eyes, trying to drown out his questions.He stops talking and when I open my eyes, Cooper is shaking his head. “I, Cooper Ash, reject you, Blair Everwood as my mate.”My mouth opens, but no sound comes out. Shock maybe? Rejection wasn’t at all what I was expecting.”Accept my rejection!” He demands.”But….””Like you said, Blair. You have a mate.” His words are full of spite
“I, Blair Everwood, accept your rejection.” The scent of tobacco and leather fades the moment the final word leaves my mouth. He smells like every other Lycan. Shaking his head at me, he walks away.A shock spasms through my chest at the breaking of the bond. I should be happy. I have Jenson and I will get him back. I didn’t need Cooper. I didn’t need the man who was actually chosen for me.Cooper disappears around the corner and my chest tightens. He was going to Black Shadow. He would tell them about me. I had to kill him. I couldn’t let him give them information.Pulling the small knife from inside my jacket, I run after him. Cooper’s strides are long and he ignores me when I call out to him.He stops suddenly and I swing the knife at him. Though he is prepared and catches my wrist, squeezing it tight until I’m forced to drop the knife. “That was a stupid move.””You can’t tell them about me!””Or what? You are going to stick a knife in my back? How about I beat you to it!”Something cold plunges into my back. It’s pulled down from near my heart to somewhere more central. The pain doesn’t kick in right away. Not until I feel the warmth of my blood trickling down my skin and soaking the back of my shirt. It wasn’t him that stabbed me though. One hand was still on my wrist, the other on my hip. He had been working with someone.He lets go of me and I drop to the ground in agony, only to see the Wolf that had brought me the glass of wine. “Have a good sleep.”
