“You’re such an asshole. Why did I hope things had changed? Why do I even care?” she mutters.
“Hope what had changed? You’re going to have to start making sense sooner or later, Kendra.”
“I loved you!” she cries out, the sound painful, the words making my wolf howl.
Perspiration breaks out over my body, dotting my forehead as my wolf tears against the restraints I’m keeping on him. Christ, I need to shift so much that it’s physically painful to keep from it.
“Then why did you leave?”
“Did you expect me to stay and watch you mate with one of your own kind, Wyatt? Did you think I could watch as you bonded with another woman? Did you think I could watch that?”
“That’s why you left?” I ask and if I was shocked by the way she stood up to me before, I’m even more shocked now. Kendra loved me? She left because she didn’t want to see me mated?
Christ.
“I shouldn’t have come back,” she mutters. “And I really shouldn’t have come here tonight.”
“Why did you?”
“I wanted to see you,” she answers honestly, but she does it shaking her head no. “I did it because I’m an idiot. Let’s just forget all of this, Wyatt. You go on with your life and I’ll see to my grandmother. Then I’ll get the hell out of Unforgiven and you’ll never hear from me again.”
My wolf is so close to the surface I can feel my teeth elongate. It takes all of my control to hold him back. I know the shift has started, though. I can feel it. I know that when she looks at me, she can see the bright golden color of my eyes, signaling my wolf is close.
“You’re not leaving me again, Kendi.”
The words are a growl, more animal than human. I don’t know what my next step is. I’m not sure I care. If I have to give up leading my pack so I can have my mate, then by God, I will. All I know right now is that I have to kiss her. I reach out and yank her roughly to me. Then my mouth slams down on hers with a bruising force. I take over her mouth, infusing my frustration, the years of emptiness I’ve endured, and the feelings I have for her in every second of our punishing kiss.
I’m never letting Kendra go again.
Never.5KendraThe kiss is powerful, strong, and I’m left gasping for air when he pulls back. I can see his wolf is right at the surface, his eyes flashing yellow, his canines elongated. I feel my heart pounding hard, painfully. Can he see it pressing against my ribs, can he see my pulse beating fast beneath my ear?
Can he smell how nervous, excited, and aroused I am?
“Wyatt?” I whisper, not sure what to do or say in this moment. I was just bitching him out, about to say fuck it, take care of my grandmother, and leave him and Unforgiven behind, even though I don’t want to.
“Say it again,” he says gruffly, his wolf so close he’s bleeding through Wyatt’s voice.
Seeing his animal right there, his need to shift, the power pouring off of him, makes me so wet I can barely stand, my knees are that weak. My panties are rubbing against my folds, the arousal so intense I can hardly take in a breath.
“Say what?” I realize I have my hands on his biceps, my nails digging into his flesh. I go to pull them away when I hear the low warning growl leave him.
“Keep them there.”
God, his voice is so rough, so distorted from his wolf.
“What are we doing?” I whisper.
“What we should have done years ago.” He looks at my lips and I can’t help but lick them, feeling them tingle from the kiss. “Isn’t that right?”
I swallow, not sure if I can actually say those words even though I feel them to my very core.
“We should have done this years ago, Wyatt?” I bounce the question back at him, looking into his face, his mouth still so close to mine. I want him to kiss me again, but things are moving so fast, my mind a whirl. I’ve wanted this for so long, yet when it’s right here in front of me all I can think about is all the what ifs.
How will his pack react?
Will Wyatt be with me until he finds his mate?
And then what?
I’ll be left standing here with a broken heart.
“What are we really doing here?”
“Well,” he says deeply. “I’m going after something I really want.” He becomes serious, and then this low growl leaves him.
It is then there is no doubt in my mind that being with Wyatt will be the start of something intense, powerful, and will have him going deeper than I ever thought possible.
