He looked left, then right. Confused, he drawled, “No…”

“Like, what do you think they’d do to you if you did?” I asked, and his expression got a little more confused, a little more distant.

This guy was a dummy.

“Beau!”I screamed suddenly.“Stop! I don’t want your cock! No!”

He was already jumping to my side of the bed, his eyes wide as saucers.

“So much rape!”I continued before he put his hand over my mouth.

“Stop it!” he hissed in my ear. “You are everything wrong with culture today. You could get me fucking killed!”

When he lowered his hand, I continued, “Okay, so you’re going to explain everything in your world that pertains to me. Because I can definitely continue my performance when it suits you the least.” When he began to argue, I added, “Look, you seem nice enough, Beau, but as far as I can tell, you’re either a hallucination or a werewolf that’s going to eat me Dawn-of-the-Dead style soon. So normal civilities don’t really apply between us today.”

“But—”

“I’m gonna get dressed. You’re gonna pretend you’re a big-boy professor, teaching me all about werewolves. Get started.”

“We’re not werewolves, we’re Lycans,” he said in a pout, sitting on the corner of the bed as he watched me leave the room and go to where my stuff was. I could hear him follow me out in the hallway, but he seemed to make a special effort not to follow me into my bedroom.

“Keep talking!” I called back as I walked down the hallway. “What the fuck’s the difference?”

“Werewolves can’t control it. Werewolves can’t pass it down genetically. It’s a disease. A curse. Werewolves can’t think when they’re being werewolves. It’s just chase-chase-hungry.”

“And you can? Because I haven’t seen a lot of that,” I snorted as I searched for clothes.

“Trust me,” he assured, “the fact that their dicks aren’t inside of you right this moment means that they’re restraining themselves. They’re trying to make this right.”

“Are they? Because they’re being assholes about it,” I assured, putting on pants and panties.

“Because theyareassholes,” he assured. “They don’t want a female. They don’t want a mate. Mates are liabilities, responsibilities, and total cock-blocks! They’re everything that is opposite from letting the good times roll.Butin your case, it’s worse.”

“Worse?” I repeated loudly as I pulled a tank top over my head and stretched it down over my torso. “What do you mean?”

“Well, on Saturday, your scent became super-charged, Kaci. When it did, and they caught it, they knew at once.”

“They knew what?” I asked, not happy about anyone saying I had a scent at all. I smelled like soap. Period. My hygiene was fucking impeccable.

“That you were theirs.”

I stepped out of my broken-doored bedroom and looked at him.

“I am nottheirs.” There was a weight to it, when Beau had said it, that made it sound like I was property. Property they’d inherited, property they didn’t want, but property nonetheless.

He gave me an expression that said, ‘Oh, honey.’ “Hopefully they’ll find the witch, and they won’t be your problem anymore.”

“And if she can’t do anything?” I ask, staring at him intensely.

He shrugged after a second. “I dunno.”

“You don’t know?” I repeated, unable to comprehend that he had no inkling of any sort of ‘Plan B’.

He threw up his hands. “No, Kaci. It’s fucking magic. It’s out of my purview, and it’s out of yours. So… maybe then you start figuring out how to tickle my alpha and beta’s nuts just the way they like so that they’re in a better mood, because baby… you might be here a while.”

I didn’t like how he was telling me this like my mom told me that I had to go to school, even if I was feeling tired. This was not on the same level as that. This was my life, this was my education, this wasmypussy, and it was my ass that was probably still a bright pink.

“You’re taking me to my car. I have an errand to do,” I told him, pointing.
