I glare at Evander. “Did you put them up to this?”
Josh jumps in. “No. I confronted Ev about it. It’s clear you’ve been fucking one of the women from town. A couple of wolves saw you at the Café with her about two months ago, and then you smell like her. We don’t care. As you know, that’s fine. Shifters fuck humans all the time.”
The way he’s talking about Iris, like she’s not even a full person, like she’s some kind of dumb sex toy… it rubs me the wrong way.
I frown. “It doesn’t matter who I fuck.”
“It does, unfortunately,” Adrian says. He pulls out a tablet from his messenger bag and pulls up something. “We polled the pack. They want you to find a mate. In this file I’ve put together profiles for several high-ranking females in the area. There’s a couple who have territory that borders ours, so a merger would be…”
“You made me a fucking dating file?”
Adrian freezes. “What?”
“You decided to take it on yourself to make me a fucking dating file. Because I can’t find a mate on my own.”
Evander stands. “T, you’ve had time. You’ve had twenty-nine years. And you’ve done nothing except sleep with humans and fuck around with women you shouldn’t.”
“You are not the alpha, Evander,” I say, rising up to glare at him.
“No. I’m not. But I’m about to be if you don’t get your shit together and find a mate.”
The growl that I let out is full wolf.
“Do. Not. Fucking. Tell. Me. What. To. Do.”
I barely bite the words out. I’m so angry, my skin is shifting between skin and fur, and my nails are elongating into claws.
“I’m not telling you want to do, brother,” Evander spits the word. “But you need to get your head out of your ass and do some alpha shit.”
“Haven’t I done that?” I snarl. “I’m the one who cleaned up Dad’s mess. I’m the one who decided to move us to Colorado, so we wouldn’t have to beg and bow at the feet of some fucking wolverines. I’m the one who chose this for all of us, Evander. And I’m the one who is the fucking alpha here.”
Evander stares at me. The other two wolves look vividly uncomfortable, which is good.
They should be.
“Get out,” I snap. “Get. The fuck. Out.”
One by one, they file out. Evander lingers, putting the tablet on my desk.
“Mate,” he growls. “Or I will challenge you for the role of alpha.”
He couldn’t have hurt me more if he had stabbed me in my chest.
“Really, Evander?”
“You’re a good alpha, Thorne. You’re better than Dad.”
His soft words take some of the rage out of me and I sit back. “And you’d challenge me?”
He nods. “In a fucking heartbeat.”
“Why?”
“Because if you throw it all away, you’ll be just like Dad.”
With that, my brother finally leaves.
I look down at the tablet.
