Tabitha’s POV

“If it’s doomed from the start, I’d rather be the one to end it,” my voice comes out weaker than I had intended.

Jace reaches out for my hand on the table, stroking my knuckles as he stares at me earnestly.

“There’s only so much the pack or even the elders can control, Tabitha. They can’t decide everything for us,” Jace says

“And your father?” I shoot back, pulling my fist away from his grasp. “You think he’ll be thrilled about this? He’s probably arranging your marriages as we speak!”

Reed presses his lips together, while Luca leans back in his chair, crossing his arms.

“You think too little of us if you believe we’ll let him decide everything,” Luca says quietly.

I shake my head. “You’re all acting like this isn’t a big deal, like it doesn’t matter. Well, it matters to me!” I push back my chair and stand, my voice breaking a little. “I get that for werewolves, this is normal. You find your mate and call it a day. But I’m not one of you! My mom might be a she-wolf, but

    Tabitha’s POVThe hostess leaves us with a polite smile and closes the door behind her. For a moment, I just stand there, staring at Evren and Luca, dumbfounded.“What is this? Some kind of family meeting I wasn’t informed about?”Reed gestures toward the chair across from him. “Just take a seat, Tabitha. You were whining about not getting lunch. Now we’re getting lunch.”I narrow my eyes but still move to sit near the end of the table. Jace takes the seat beside me while Reed takes the seat beside Luca and Evren on the adjacent chairs.“So,” I frown while glancing at Luca and Evren. “Why are you two here too?”Luca shrugs lightly, his fingers playing around the mouth of his glass. “We always dine here. I’m actually surprised to see you here with them. Thought you were out for some girl time or something.”I roll my eyes. “Maybe ask your charming brother over there who decided to haul me out without a warning.” I shoot Reed a glare.Luca’s lips twitch in amusement. He glances between

    Tabitha’s POV“What are the odds? Come on, let’s go say hi!”“Uhm—”Before I can respond, Evelyn’s hand tightens around my arm. I barely manage a startle grunt before she’s already tugging me forward, all bright smiles and bouncing energy. I stumble after her, caught between confusion and dread. My pulse races as we cross the open space, every step bringing me closer to Reed and Elsie.Reed is saying something to her when he finally notices us. His smile quickly withers as if we’re some bad news marching towards him. Elsie follows his gaze and blinks in surprise, her laughter fading.“El!” Evelyn calls out to her sister cheerfully, waving with her free hand. “Fancy seeing you here! I didn’t know you were coming to the mall today.”Elsie straightens, her expression flickering from surprise to fond exasperation. “Evelyn, honestly—do you ever stop shopping? You were out just last weekend.”“Guilty! But look at these finds, you’ll understand why.” Evelyn laughs while twirling her hair.El

    Tabitha’s POVHe’s so close, I can just lean in a little and I’ll get to taste those lips that I have been fantasizing about for the past week…“Tabi? You okay there, girl? You’ve been in there for a while. Do you need some help or something?”Evelyn’s voice cuts through the haze in my head. I jolt as if waking from a trance, frantically pushing Jace back and rushing to the door.Oh my god. That was so close!My heart is still racing, and I can feel the flush burning up my neck. I fix my hair as quickly as I can before forcing a smile.“H-hey,” I manage, hoping my voice sounds normal. “I’m okay.”“Oh good!” Evelyn smiles, looking relieved. “Sorry, I had to step out to take a call. Well, you look good in that dress! See? I told you it’d suit you.” She pauses, glancing around. “Anyway, have you seen Jace? He just disappeared—”Her words stop when Jace suddenly appears behind me. The color drains from Evelyn’s face as her eyes dart between us, realization slowly forming.“H-He just came

    Tabitha’s POVHis hand stays firm on my waist, the heat of his skin bleeding through the thin layer of fabric. My pulse stumbles but I can’t seem to bring myself away from his touch. The rational part of me knows that I should step back and create a safe distance between the two of us. I already decided to avoid them, after all.Because I know that if I ever find myself too close to them, this is exactly what’s going to happen…Jace’s thumb makes a slow drag against my ribs before sliding higher, tracing the edge of my side. Every inch he touches feels awake and trembling.“Jace…” My voice cracks when he brushes his knuckles along my jaw. “You need to leave. You can’t be here.”He leans in closer, his breath skimming my cheek. “Relax,” he murmurs, the raspy sound of his voice is enough to make my knees weak. “You’re overthinking again. People won’t assume anything even if I’m here. I’m your stepbrother, people think that we’re practically family.” There’s a trace of mockery in his ton

    Tabitha’s POV“Here, let me help you…” he says and takes my foot, cradling it on his knee to take care of the straps.A shiver slips down my spine before I can stop it. My hand hangs midair as his fingers close around my ankle. Jace’s skin feels warm against mine, rougher than I expected. I should tell him I can manage, but the words don’t come out. My thoughts scatter, replaced by the steady drag of his thumb as he undoes the strap.“Oh boy…” Evelyn groans dramatically beside. “Unbelievable. My brother won’t even give me the last pizza slice, and here’s your stepbrother, helping you put on shoes.”Heat creeps up my neck. “D-Don’t be deceived! He’s not always this nice.”Jace smirks, glancing up at me. “I can say the same thing to you, stepsis. You can be a bit naughty at times.”“Not that I’m complaining. I like it when you get all proper in front of them, and wicked when it’s just us.” His voice whispers in my mind.Damn it, he’s playing with me again with that mindlink thing! And r
