“With the Kingsman pack,” I explained. They still had that photo. It put me in danger, even now. The moment Dusk realised I’d run, he could send it out.
Ineededa game plan.
“You’re following me around with a crush, but you’re wearing their necklace, and won’t consider our offer—” He cut off, leaning away, all calculation falling away for understanding. “You… don’t have a choice?”
“What?” Adrenaline hit my veins at those words.
“With the Kingsman pack. You don’t have a choice.”
“I…”Shit.
My mind was swimming. If he knew I was being blackmailed, would he guess what the blackmail was?
This was all happening too fast.
Ineededmy friend now.
I jumped as the door beside us opened.
Relief flooded my system as I looked over. But it wasn’t Roxy. Gareth and Flynn were stepping into the room.
“Where’s Roxy?” I asked, trying to push the whine out of my voice. I was too panicked. I needed to calm down.
“Answer my question first,” Eric said. He glanced over at Gareth and Flynn.
Flynn was looking between us curiously. Gareth’s gaze was fixed on me in a way that twisted me up. It was far too intense.
“She followed me and Roxy to the library, watched the whole time.”
“I swear,” I whispered. “It’snotwhat it looks like.”
“What do you think it looks like?”
“I… don’t know…”
Oh dear…
This was it.
He knew.
He’d just figured out I was their mate. What was he—? “It seems like we have a sweet little omega stalker,” he said. My gaze snapped to him in a moment, but he went on. “One promised to the Kingsman pack.”
“Promised?” My voice was weak.
What did that mean?
Like…betrothed?
That was crazy.
“As if you don’t know the kind of circles the Kingsman family deals with,” Eric said, glancing back at me. “Especially Ransom’s father.”
“She might not,” Flynn said, glancing from me to Eric. “It explains why she’s so…” His gaze fell on me for a minute, sweeping up and down appraisingly. “Different. Some of those families keep their daughters hidden, hope they perfume and trade them out like cattle for good alliances.”
“One of them got a damned good deal,” Eric snorted. “Trading you for a Kingsman alliance.”
What?
