might as well not even exchange pleasantries. I don’t like you and it was obvious from the look on your face when you saw my hand, you don’t like me either. Let me save you the trouble now and tell you that the rest of me is just as hideous.”
    He didn’t think so. But she didn’t want to hear that. The woman wasn’t Pack, she was human, and no matter what his thoughts were on the subject of bedding her, he wouldn’t get the chance to find out. Teak made an appearance then, walking into the kitchen and putting a protective arm around Nerina. She shrugged him off and gestured for the seat next to her.
    â€œHot chocolate kid, that’s it. This isn’t a date.”
    â€œAh Rina, I was just being friendly. No harm, no foul. Right?”
    â€œNo kid, of course not.”
    Teak grinned and Victor watched as the two of them discussed music and sports. She didn’t so much as look his way as she and his nephew conversed. Cassandra motioned for him to join her out in the hall and reluctantly Victor went.
    â€œWhat the hell brother! Did you really need to do that? And the look on your face was worse than how some of the Pack members look at her. I know she’s disabled, but we’ve come a long way. I won’t tolerate you or anyone else mistreating her while in my house.”
    â€œI was taken off guard. One minute I was considering things, and the next she was, well, she was not what I expected.”
    His sister glared at him, her violet eyes turning bright amber momentarily as her wolf surfaced.
    â€œYou stay away from her, Victor. You may have bedding rights, but you need to take your intentions and your dick elsewhere. Get those thoughts right out of your head. She’s human, and you’re not. You know what would happen if the two of you got together.”
    Yes he knew, he could kill her or worse, he could mess up things with Sasha. Her father and their clan wouldn’t tolerate him entertaining any sort of ideas with a human.
    â€œOf course sister, you’re right. I should probably go and apologize to her.”
    Cassandra nodded.
    Victor made his way back in the kitchen just as Teak and Nerina were finishing up their drink.
    â€œThanks for having me over Teak, I appreciate it. You and your sister have been very kind to me.”
    Teak smiled wide at her praise. His nephew was entertaining other ideas, but Victor would talk to him once they were alone. Victor cleared his throat to get their attention.
    â€œMiss Simpson, my apologies for my behavior earlier. It was rude of me to stare, and inappropriate for me to assume that you would be so forthcoming about any information after the way I behaved.”
    She didn’t acknowledge him right away, but eyed him as if he’d grown a second head.
    â€œSure thing, no problem. Demon. Daar, time to go.”
    The wolves rose from their spot in front of the fire, and as she bundled up again for the harsh weather, she caught his gaze one more time before she walked out into the dark wintery afternoon. There was something there between them. He wasn’t going to call it a spark, because fuck if this wasn’t some romantic comedy. But there was something. The two of them were both acknowledging the other. If she wasn’t going to admit it, he would. There was something there. He just wasn’t sure if it was worth the time or hassle to find out.
    Victor turned back to his nephew who was standing love struck as he watched her go.
    â€œGet those thoughts out of your head Teak. She’s not for you.”
    â€œSays who? I have no problem with bedding a human.”
    â€œShe thinks you’re a kid.”
    â€œHer mistake, not mine.”
    What he really wanted to do was ring his nephew’s neck. A deep growl rolled and rumbled in Victor’s chest, daring his nephew to overstep his bounds.
    â€œSeriously, you’re about to be mated, and you really want to piss on my feet to mark
