Chapter 41

Seline

I spend the next two days stewing over this new issue.

One thing I notice is that from the moment my shift begins, Jason, Ray, Seth, and Lexi take a table and sit there until the end of my shift. All of these men are in Austin’s inner circle of friends, and to have them watching me makes me unnerved. But I can’t kick them out because they buy a drink or something to eat every hour.

Three whole days pass when Austin finally makes an appearance.

It’s when the bar is about to close. I see Austin slip in, and his companions nod at him and leave. Seeing him after that night makes my abdomen tighten in need, and I look away, cursing my traitorous body.

There’s only one other customer there who’s about to get ready to leave.

“We’re closed,” I say loudly, making the old swan shifter nearly jump out of his skin, and I add, “Not you, Mr. Lopez. I’ve called you a cab.”

Mr. Lopez gives me a grateful look, but Austin doesn’t leave. I walk past him, ignoring him as I pick up a ch

    Chapter 42SelineI look down at the broken plates on the floor.“LACY, these were new"“Don’t!” my friend points a finger in my direction, her face red with anger.“Don’t you fucking dare.”I FALL SILENT. When Lacy curses, it’s never a good sign.“YOU’RE DYING, and you didn’t think to tell me?!”I WINCE as another plate smashes against the wall.“LACY,” I begin, but then I see the tears in her eyes.“I’M your best fucking friend, Seline! We grew up together!” She’s shaking now, tears falling from her pretty eyes. “And you hide something like this from me?”THE TRUTH WAS INEVITABLE. But I should have handled it better.WHEN LACY BROUGHT me back to the apartment and held me as I threw up so viciously, questions were asked, and I had no choice but to answer.“I’M GOING to kill that bastard.”LACY’S ANGER has calmed me down a little, enough to sort through my own battered feelings. “No, you won’t.”THE PAIN inside me is more than just emotional. It’s a physical pain, and I know it’s beca

    Chapter 50SelineI freeze. “Excuse me?”Jess wets her lips, looking guilty. “Austin didn’t reject you because he wanted to. If he chose you, he would have had to leave the pack. I don’t think he would have minded that. But the thing is that right now, the only thing standing between the pack elders and the females of the pack isAustin.”I already knew that the Stone Creek Pack was a little more traditionalist than normal, but Jess’s statement sounds a little bizarre.I push my plate away. “What are you talking about?”Jess looks nervous. “Things were fine when Austin’s parents were alive.They kept the pack elders in check. But when Austin went on his first run, we were invaded by another pack, and our Alpha pair were killed. Daston had decided to step in as the Alpha and installed his adopted son, Grey's on, as the pack hunter. Fortunately, Austin returned in time and took the helm since he was already an Alpha in training. He even removed Greyson. But then, our old pack hunter w

    Chapter 49When I get to my shift at Benny’s, there is someone already waiting for me.“Oh, dear God!” I glower at Austin. “Did you put a GPS on me?!”“Why did you leave?!” He grabs my wrist and pulls me into a more private area. “Tammy told you to stay still!”“Well, funny story.” I yank my arm away from him, hissing, “I don’t have to listen to you. See how that works?”I can see a mixture of anger and frustration on his face, which I’m all toofamiliar with. “You are not safe right now, Seline! Why can’t you understand that?”“Oh, I know.” I give him a steady look. “One of your people showed up and tried to rip my eyes out of my head as punishment for not staying awayfrom you. He left me with a nice shiny scar as well, as you can see.”Austin’s expression tightens. “Who was it?”“A big ugly brute with scars all over his face and"“Grayson,” Austin breathes. “And you still stayed there?!”“He was dealt with.” I shrug, far more confident now than I was then. “But what I’m starting to

    Chapter 48SelineMayor Hamrington wasn’t kidding about docking my salary and overseeingthe repairs. Old miser!I look at my pitiful paycheck for this month. “How am I supposed to eat from this? Or pay rent?!”He gives me an unbothered look. “I already provide one meal per shift and Idon’t know why you’re still paying rent when your mate owns the building.Sort it out with him.”My jaw nearly falls to the ground. “Excuse me? Say that again.”“Your mate bought the building.” The vampire looks at me as if I’m a particularly annoying fly right now.“When?!”“It’s been a while. He sent your previous landlord a very strong message.You should have told me that he was trying to extort sexual favors. That’s just inappropriate.”“I did tell you.” I scowl. “You told me to deal with it.”The old vampire looks surprised. “Did you? I must have forgotten. I guess old age is finally catching up to"“Oh save it!” I growl in frustration, halfway out of the room already. “And he’s not my mate! He do

    Chapter 47.SelineIt’s the sound of beeping that wakes me up. Annoyed, I make to turn off the alarm clock, but my body feels far too heavy.And then, I hear the voices.“What do you mean she’s fading away?”That sounds like Austin. If Austin ever sounded anxious and all worked up.“Exactly what I said,” comes a female voice. “She’s all bones, which is bad enough, but her wolf is dying, Austin. I can pour some healing magic in, but not more. I can’t save her.”“You have to, Tammy. You have to save her. She can’t just die like this!”I’ve never heard Austin sound so distraught, and I wonder if I’m dreaming.“This is why you don’t reject a fated bond"“It’s not supposed to kill her, Tammy!” Austin roars.“Stop shouting in my ward,” Tammy says tightly. “And what did you expect to happen, Austin? Come on. She’s a hybrid. Of course, she was going to react negatively to the bond being rejected. God knows how much she’s been suffering so far. It mustn’t have been easy for her.”My mind is st
