Chapter 19: Sturborn mate

Kane's POV:

I took a deep breath, clenching my fists as I looked at her, standing there all defiant and stubborn, like she wasn't just seconds away from the biggest argument of her life. First, she had the audacity to call me a "hero wannabe," just for protecting her. Protecting her! Like I'd ever do anything less. Then, she somehow managed to pull down my pants—yeah, that happened—before running off and locking me out like some prank-loving teenager.

But the real kicker? After yesterday its established that this place wasn't safe, she flat-out told me she wasn't going back with me to my pack. Not going with me? The hell she isn't. She has no idea how hard she's pushing me right now, testing a patience that's been worn down to nothing.
