JESSICA

“My hybrids?”

Grayson didn’t blink. Just nodded. Jaw tight. And I knew what that meant. That jaw thing – he only does it when he’s close to snapping. When something doesn’t go the way he wants and he’s holding it in, holding me in.

“Yes.”

“I know about that!”

“Yes.”

Riot chuckles again, quiet and cruel, and I hiss, bratty, “Stop laughing, you’re not helping! What is it, Grayson?”

“You have to make a choice, Jess.”

“A choice?”

My heart is traitorous. Also my eyes. They weren’t supposed to stare at Grayson’s face but it did. I had the opening. A perfect opening to memorize his features.

If he’s going to ask me again if I’m confused between him and Riot, I’ll have my answer right away. Except, Grayson doesn’t really ask twice. In fact, he will never ask at all.

He’ll just look at me and wait for me to make my decisions. That’s what he always does. He takes care of me in his own ways but sometimes, I wish he would let me take care of him too.

I squeeze my eyes shut, trying to block him out, but it’s useless. His presence is everywhere, pressing in on me, demanding an answer I’m not ready to give.

“Grayson,” I start, but he cuts me off.

“The other pack knows about your hybrids Jess and the other pack knows you’re still…in heat.”

“Stop,” I manage to say, but it comes out weak, like I don’t even believe it myself.

“Who do you belong to, Jess?” His voice is calm, but there’s a dangerous edge to it.

You.

Only you, Grayson.

“You’re still in heat, Jess. Your instincts are screaming, and you’re too damn stubborn to listen.”

“I’m not doing this again with you or anyone.”
