Chapter 5: Theo

“What the hell is going on?” Ayla’s voice floated down to me as she ran down the stairs. She froze halfway down the moment she laid eyes on me. “What are you doing here?”

A silk robe hung open, revealing the shorts and cut–off tank top she wore underneath, her caramel–colored hair flowing loosely around her shoulders. She was gorgeous. And clearly not in distress. I took a step toward her as my rage grew.

“What are you doing here?” I spat back.

“That’s none of your concern,” the male interjected.

I turned on him again, a rumbling growl emanating from my chest, my claws extending. I was ready to rip his throat out.

“Stop,” Ayla yelled, coming the rest of the way down the stairs and stepping between the two of us. “Zeff, go to work.”

“Absolutely not. I’m not leaving you here with him. Not in the state he’s in.”

“I would never hurt her.” Kieran was ready to burst from my skin. How dare this bastard think we would ever lay a hand on

“Are you f***ing him?”

Her eyes went wide, then narrowed as she took a step forward. “Are you f***ing my sister?”

A strangled snarl escaped me, but she started speaking again before I could recover from her accusation.

“What I do with a male – or anyone for that matter – is none of your damn business.”

“The hell it isn’t.” Electricity passed through the air between us. “He has no right to put his hands on you.”

I want him to,” she yelled, not only holding her ground against the alpha energy I was exuding but taking another step toward

it. My hand was around her neck and my mouth was on hers before I even knew what I had done. But I didn’t stop. I couldn’t stop. Sparks of intense electricity shot through me, invigorating all my senses. I pushed her to open for me, my tongue seeking hers.
