Luis put a finger under my chin and lifted my head. “You gotta stay tough. Make him stick to it. If you tell him you want him to do it, he won’t back down and chicken out. Gio has always been strong for his family. If you stay the course, so will he.” By the…

Blayne frowned. “Well, I’m not entirely sure. None of the other guys had their mate reject them. I’m thinking it’s probably similar to shifter mating. I ask you to be my mate, you reject me, then the bond is broken. That’s what I think, anyway.” A conversation I’d had with Liam a long time ago…

The Wizard of Oz ?” I gave a half-shrug, half-nod. “Kinda, I guess. Not really the same, though. They don’t dress in robes or wear pointy hats or eat kids. They’re just regular people. The only difference is that they have gifts that allow them to do stuff. Crazy stuff. The hunters hired a witch….

“Blayne,” she said. “I’m here. What do you want to tell me?” When she noticed Tate and Jared, her cheeks went red. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to ignore you all. Are you friends with Blayne?” A year or two ago, Tate would have done the strong-guy-intimidating thing he used to always do. But Harley…

Doing my best to maintain my composure, I gave her a smile and walked further down the hall. Usually, I liked Kennedy, but I had zero interest in discussing whatever bullshit was going on in her dating life. Not with what had happened this morning. Miles trailed behind me as I went down the hall…

I despised confrontation. I actively ran from it in most cases, but that was only because it was exhausting. I’d taken enough shit from Blayne this morning, and I was done. He was opening his mouth to blast me with another tirade, and I was not going to let that happen. “Stop it,” I said,…

A shadow of shame and fear passed across his face as my words struck their target. He lowered his voice, unable to meet my eyes. “It’ll make me weak.” I nodded. “Yeah, that’s the point. It’ll take a toll on your body, but it takes a bigger toll on the cancer.” A smile that seemed…

The malice and hatred in my voice jolted the two people before me. Luis took a hesitant step backward, and Ava released me as if she’d been burned and backed away. The fear in their eyes only stoked my anger. “What the fuck happened to Liam?” I screamed. Ava flinched and took a few seconds…

“We?” I glanced around, looking for who else he was talking about. Only one person would have the audacity to come here for this. Fifty yards away, tucked half-behind a tree, I saw Ava’s dark hair. Big, black sunglasses obscured half her face. The very sight of her sent me over the edge. I shoved…
