Chapter 56 

 

Dinner was served to us all. I sat at Brennon’s table with Ryder and Rita by my side. Brennon and his men were sitting opposite of me. I looked up and felt someone watching me. When I looked around, my eyes landed on Candace. She was sitting at a table, surrounded by friends who were chatting amongst themselves. She wasn’t paying them any attention though, as she was watching me and my movements. I saw her eyes glance over me. When our eyes locked, she looked away from me for just a moment before turning her attention back to me with a smile. I gave her a small smile and a little wink. 

My Lycan seemed to always stir in her presence, weirdly enough. I didn’t know why. He has been quiet lately and has not really spoken to me in the last few days. I have to force him to shift into our beast form and then it is like he only does half the work that is needed. But Candace makes him feel more like his old self. It is like she is bringing him out of the dark and into the light again. 

I wasn’t sure how long I had been watching her but Ryder noticed and cleared his throat. I looked over to him and he gave me a half smile and glanced over in her direction. “She is pretty,” he said as he took a sip of his drink. 

“She is and she smells fantastic too.” I took a bite out of my chicken on my plate, looking away. 

“Is she your mate?” He asked me and I let out a laugh. The minute I laughed I felt anger coming from my beast. 

“No.” My beast growled inside at me and I frowned. 

“Hmm, okay. I was going to ask what you were going to do withi Avalynn if she was your mate. Guess it doesn’t really matter then.” He shrugged. 

“If she was my mate I would still have her.” I felt my beast perk up and it had me now second guessing myself. Was Candace my mate? She couldn’t be, right? 

“Wrong. Very wrong. She absolutely without a doubt is our mate.” He told me. 

“Well, why haven’t we claimed her as ours? Why wasn’t there a mate bond pull? How come we didn’t show her she was our mate?” / questioned him. 

“That is because of you and your one-track mind. She knows you are her mate. Well, maybe not for sure, but her Lycan is curious about us. She knows what we have done too. She was unsure of us. Do you blame her? Look at us and all the horrible things we have done. If she is our mate, she will be drug into everything and be caught up in everything we have done. We will reject her and tell her that she deserves a better mate than us. That we can never give her what she needs or deserves.” He huffed in my mind and I
