Chapter: Chapter 174Present dayZANE NIGHTCLAW, THE FERAL ALPHA OF THE MOST DANGEROUS pack on the continent, undisputed ruler in a wild territory known for its exceptional bloodthirst, listens to Human classical music while driving.I did not see that coming.And yet here he is. Post Vampyre slaughtering, blissfully unaffected as he chauffeurs me back to the Southwest pack. Lightly tapping his long fingers against the steering wheel to keep rhythm like a connoisseur. Would it be insulting to openly manifest my shock? Do I care about offending Zane?Yes. And yes, since I’ll be alone with him in this car for the next few hours. At the mercy he may not have.“Is this Bach?” I ask, with no real clue what Bach sounds like. In my previous life, back when I was a Human financial reporter whose idea of a mightily stressful time included judging the ripeness of watermelons or having to sneeze while driving, I gravitated toward pop.“Why didn’t you shift?” Zane asks instead of answering. His eyes never leave the

Chapter: Chapter 173I do, surprisingly. In fact, I’m less concerned with what he feels, and more with . . . “How can I tell if someone is my mate? I want to know if I feel the same about you.”He waves the question away. “You don’t.”“How do you know?”“If you did, you’d be aware.”“That’s not true. Maybe the signs are there, but I’m missing them because I’m only half Were.”“You couldn’t miss them.”My throat is dry. My stomach, heavy with disappointment. Did I . . . ? No. Come on. I don’t want a mate, whatever that means. My sex drive’s cobwebs have grown their own cobwebs. I’ve always needed bucketloads of time alone. Plus, I’m still figuring out what I am. This isn’t the start of anything.Except.“I do feel . . . very safe. Here, with you,” I confess, retreating inward for a moment, groping at my unintelligible body and my tricky mind for clarity. Zane’s presence is cumbersome, and I feel like I’m stuffed too tight by him, but I am experiencing a stunningly quiet moment. No anxiety. No choking dread

Chapter: Chapter 172“Can you . . .” I swallow. “These biological changes you mentioned. Can you control yourself?”The meaning takes a minute to sink in. When it does, I half expect Zane to resent my question, but there’s no trace of defensiveness in his firm tone. “Always.”It makes it easier to believe him. “So, basically, you just want to . . . ?”“Correct.” He nods casually. Yes, I would love a cup of Earl Grey. Yes, I’ll respond to a brief survey in exchange for a ten percent discount on my purchase. Yes, I do want to f—“I hope I don’t sound conceited, but . . . how is it different from the reaction of most Human men I’ve met?” I cringe the instant the words are out.“God. I do sound conceited. I’m sorry. I promise I don’t walk around thinking that my face launches a thousand erections— ”“You’re the most beautiful woman that I’ve ever seen,” he says simply.Like it’s not a big deal.Like he’s complimenting my taste in socks.Like I could resemble the reflection of a wart on a doorknob, and it wo

Chapter: Chapter 171“You and the Vampyre are close, right?” he asks, full of that calm that borders on indifference. Is he making fun of me? “She explained what a mate is?"Slowly, I nod.“What Seraphine is to Lucien, you are to me.”Oh.Oh?Oh. “Is this a, um . . . terminal diagnosis?”His lips twitch. “No cure, I’m afraid.”“I see.” I clear my throat. “Well, this relationship sure escalated quickly.”His words surprised me, but the way the corners of his eyes crease in amusement shocks me tenfold. His laugh is a deep, warm chuckle that makes my heart stumble. “You have no idea, kid.”I cross my arms. “Should you be calling me ‘kid,’ given the situation?”“I’m not married to it. What would you prefer?”“Well, there’s always my actual name. But if you insist on a nickname, I’d prefer something with a bit more . . .”“More?”“More teeth.”His eyebrow rises. “Root canal?”“No. Come on, you know what I mean. Something that inspires fear.”“Real estate market crash.”“Okay, maybe less fear and more . . . aw

Chapter: Chapter 170I’m sure it’s the start of every epic love story: a girl, trying to turn on a laptop and jabbing the power button with increasing violence. A very big man in a plaid shirt, leaning cross armed against a doorjamb, staring skeptically at her.The ego-pulverizing embarrassment of making a less-than-excellent first impression on someone your friends love and respect.Zane appeared in Lucien’s driveway a couple of hours ago, Lucien’s little sister in tow, triggering the family reunion that’s currently going on downstairs. It involves Daisy being bubbly, Seraphine pretending not to adore her, and Lucien pretending not to be awestruck by Serapine’s inability to successfully hide her adoration. It’s cute, and it deserves some privacy.Seraphine is at her best. I may not be at my worst, but I’m still a definite work in progress.I spent the last two months imprisoned in Vampyre territory. I was certain that my abduction would end with my spleen being fed to the raccoons, meaning that this is

Chapter: Chapter 169Panic bursts anew in my chest. I shake my head violently. No. No.“Well, then.” His eyes soften, and he lets out a half-resigned, half-amused sigh. “Better make use of that rock in your hand, killer.”It takes me a beat to understand his meaning, and to realize that the Vampyre’s hold on my wrist has loosened. Twisting my arm free and stabbing the jagged edge of the rock into his stomach takes so little effort, it’s almost anticlimactic.“What the— ” The Vampyre doubles over. I’m about to hit him again, but he bounces back and slams me to the ground. He lifts his knife above his head, aiming for my throat. “You fucking bitch— ”He stops with an abrupt gasp, as though in the grip of a sudden illuminating revelation. He stares down at me, eyes bulging, mouth wide open, and I almost expect him to . . . apologize? Then, after coughing up a small rivulet of mulberry-colored blood, he loses his balance. I observe his descent, horrified, as he collapses right by my side, face-first into a pa
