Chapter 21.-2
Jerking my head, I dismissed him, and Nyx walked up to us. “There’s some sandwiches being sent
to the cabin for us. I’m going to eat and go to bed,” she said tiredly.
“See anything of interest?”
“Actually, yeah.” Her brows furrowed. “Some of the kids are…stoned.”
“Stoned?”
“Yeah. Like, really high.”
I understood her confusion. Drugs were rampant in the world but often didn’t do shit to
werewolves. “I asked Gideon about it, but I didn’t want to seem like we weren’t from around here.
He said there was a dealer nearby, and they were working on finding him.”
Drugs weren’t anywhere on the radar of a problem for me. I ran my hand over my face, tired and annoyed that she didn’t mention that Gideon had asked her to stay. “Duke will take you back to the cabin to eat. I’m going to walk around for a little bit, and then I’ll join you. I want to rouse Dante so
Tessa can examine him, and then we’re all going to get some sleep. We’re leaving in the morning if
we can.”
Whatever she wanted to say to me, she swallowed as she spun on her heels and walked away.
Furious, I followed her. The atmosphere was tense while we ate. I managed to awaken Dante’s wolf, who told me that all was well, although I’d spent too much power doing it. We separated into
the cabins, once making certain that no one was alone.
No one batted an eye when I took the cabin with Nyx. She glared at me as I walked in. “What?” I
snarled.
“Don’t snap at me. You’re the one who’s been in a bad fucking mood.”
“Maybe it was the crack about the father being a one-night stand.”
Her eyes flashed in fury. “And was it a lie? Or have you fucked me some other time without me knowing? What the hell did you want me to do? Gideon is not some harmless do-gooder out here in the middle of the woods. He has power, Rhyson. Enough power to hold this base together. I don’t trust him, and the last thing I’m about to tell him is that the baby is yours. What if he figures out who you are? It would not be very hard for him to take me.”
“So that’s it. You think I’m not keeping you safe?”
“Did I say that?”

Chapter 21-2
As furious as we were, we were keeping our voices down. The last thing I wanted was my own
wolves to hear us arguing, not to mention any of the strangers that might be lingering outside. She threw the pillow on the bed and slammed her fist into it.
“You’re not fucking saying much of anything.”
“Because you told me not to, you asshole. You’re keeping me here, and you haven’t even told me what the fuck you’re doing. A dead brother? A whole group of wolves who are on some kind of
revenge mission?”
“Yeah, I guess you wouldn’t understand,” I said sarcastically. “Loyalty doesn’t mean that much to
you.”
“Oh, right. Because I’m a slut who opens her legs to anyone who pants after me. I guess I should take Gideon up on his offer so I can get nice and fucked.”
She turned, and I bounded across the two rooms in two steps. Whirling her around, I pushed her up against the wall. “You want to get nice and fucked, Nyx? I’m right here, baby.”
