Turning my attention back to Vincent, I couldn't get what she said out of my head. It was repeating over and over again.

You're just like him.

Did he already reveal to her of our true nature?

Raising my eyes to look at him, he had calmed down significantly but I could still see the fire behind his eyes. "Why are you near my female?"

I raised my eyebrows. The last I heard he had a mate back in Texas. "Your female? I wasn't aware the Moon Goddess was handing out two mates for one."

His canines were back now. "She's mine!"

I let my canines lower just for show. Just a glimpse to show this male who ruled around here. "She's my mate. And anyways I'm not sure Hannah would be amused that you're trying to claim another." His posture stiffened.

"Hannah is barren. I cannot be with someone who cannot provide an heir. I rejected her." His eyes revealed no remorse for his actions. This wolf was damaged goods. "I've chosen Evathia as my new mate and I refuse to let some filth get in the way of that."

I was shaking now. How dare he refer to her as his?

I so desperately wanted to kill this male in front of me. But he was of Alpha status. The Council would have my head if I killed another Alpha..but he was trespassing on my territory.

"Does she know of our nature?" That's the only question I needed to know before I shipped this pathetic excuse for a male back to Texas where he belonged.

"Obviously. She's watching us through the window now you know." He gestured to the window behind me.

I turned my head to see the curtain moving slightly. I could see a piece of Eva's dark hair flash by as she retreated from sight.

Sighing, I decided to take the civil approach. "Get off my land Vincent." I really didn't want to have to fight this demented wolf and scare Eva off.

I expected him to put up a fight but he just laughed and just before shifting he yelled out to her. "I'll be back for you Evathia!" I couldn't help but to let out a snarl. He'd never touch her for as long as I was alive.

After I could no longer smell his scent, I went back inside and called out for Eva who was no where to be seen. "Eva! Get out here! I know you saw!"

I heard shuffling and slowly but surely she came out of her bedroom. She had changed into the shirt that I let her borrow when she got drunk and passed out. The pride in my chest swelled; she looked amazing in my clothes.

Looking at her face, she looked somewhat upset and just a tad pissed off.

She crossed her arms which inconspicuously pushed up her breasts. I couldn't help but look.

I knew it. I fucking knew it. I moved away from Texas to get away from these..these creatures. Vincent had stupidly shifted in front of me one day and to say I was surprised was an understatement. My mother would always say that there were others roaming around that weren't of our human nature. When I was growing up, I thought she was silly. I even considered her to be mentally ill at one point..but when Vincent came along, it was if a whole different world had opened up. I didn't know who was who. They all blended in so inconspicuously.

Looking at Kyros now, it was silly of me to even think he could be human. His whole demeanor screamed 'werewolf'. I just hoped that maybe I could live a normal life here in Palmyra. That I could start over and forget everything but all my problems and stress just transferred here.
