mine.” Ross kept his eyes on her as he spoke.
    “It
looks to me like she’s with the wolf,” Zane said. Although he seemed completely
calm, she noticed that his back was stiff. Even his neck muscles were corded.
“This male is also claiming that she is his mate. I think that you should leave
him to it.” Zane’s eyes dropped to his feet for a few beats. When he looked
back up, she could see that his resolve had hardened. “It’s over. Leave it
alone. Let them go.” Zane motioned to her and Rushe. Rushe’s arm tightened
around her, he pulled her flush against his hard body. She felt the cold silver
infused chains as they knocked against the back of her calves every so often.
    “I
want what is mine. Becky is mine and I refuse to give her up.” He snarled, his
eyes firmly on both kings. She couldn’t help but to notice how they then moved
to Rushe. She was wrong to think that a wolf and a vampire had formed a truce.
Right now, she just wanted out of there. Home in her own bed with a slab of
chocolate and a good book, buried deep under her covers.
     The
bastard king scowled, making her forget her longing. For a second, she was
tempted to pull a tongue at Brant and to tell him that Ross could do whatever
he damn well pleased. She didn’t want to give Ross false hope though. She had
to try and defuse this.
    Ross
was fighting for a lost cause. Namely her. “I told you both that I don’t want a
mate. That goes for you too. I haven’t changed my mind.” She looked up at Rushe
but didn’t try and move away from him. “Listen to your kings, Ross.” She looked
Brant’s way. “Promise me that you won’t hurt Rushe or Ross and I’ll be on my
way.”
    “Ross
has been sufficiently punished. As for the beast, I agreed to send him back to
his pack. He’ll leave as soon as he is able. By the looks of things, that’ll be
soon. Ward is waiting.”
    “Fine,”
she huffed. “I’ll be on my way then.” She tried to move away from Rushe but his
hold on her tightened.
    “This
is not over.” Ross’ dark eyes bore into her. She couldn’t stand to see the
longing and the need in them so she turned away.
    “You
will stay away from her or you will bleed,” Brant spoke softly.
    “You
said that while in this castle and on your territory that I have to follow your
rules.” Ross locked his jaw for a few beats. “I will not rest until she is
mine. I will pack my things.”
    Zane
cursed, when he had himself under control he spoke through clenched teeth.
“Let’s talk about this. Don’t make any rash decisions.”
    “There
is nothing to say, nothing to talk about.” Ross said, sounding calm and very
much decided.
    “There
is everything to talk about. This is your home. Where do you plan on going? You
can’t possibly live amongst the humans.” Zane said.
    “I
would prefer to stay here and have your blessing, but if that is not possible
then I must leave. This female means everything to me. I will forsake
everything. I’ll lie, steal and fight if I have to. She will be mine.”
    Becky
felt her jaw drop, her heart was slamming so hard in her chest that she could
hear it in her ears. What was this idiot doing? She didn’t want a mate. She
didn’t freaking need one. How many times did she need to tell him this?
    “Don’t
do it,” she begged.
    “Get
your shit together, wolf. You’re leaving,” Brant growled. “As far as I’m
concerned, Ross can go too. Think very carefully though”—his eyes narrowed as
they locked with Ross’—“if you decide to leave, then there will be no coming
back.”
    “Let’s
discuss this first, Ross. Don’t do something rash. Not after what just happened.
You’re rattled…not thinking straight for fuck sake,” Zane snarled.
    “I
know what I want. I don’t need to discuss or think about anything.” His teeth
gnashed together.
    Oh
shit! He clearly wasn’t listening and she was done trying
to convince him. If Ross wanted to be an idiot then so freaking be
