cottage. He didn’t want us to completely lose sight of humanity. When a pack isolates itself from humanity its members can become feral, dangerous. He did not want that to happen to us.”
“That’s interesting,” Paige said, thinking about his words. Jacob sounded like a good leader, someone that was doing his best to make sure his pack retained their human side, even if the human side was arrogant. Or was it the wolf side that was arrogant? “I wouldn’t exactly call your examples great men though. They were bloody conquerors that eradicated whole civilizations.”
“This is not a quality you find attractive in a man?” Travis asked. A sly smile appeared on his face. “I plan on eradicating an entire wererat civilization.”
“You really think you can defeat them all alone?” she asked. “What if they do that lunar thing you were talking about?”
“I am stronger than any one wererat,” Travis declared, puffing his chest out. “I will crush them all in my jaws. My rage is righteous and I cannot lose with it on my side.”
“You should get help,” she said, worrying about his safety. He was going to get himself killed if he went at this alone.
“From who?” he asked. “Humans? Your brother? Don’t make me laugh.”
Paige grabbed her hair in frustration. “I don’t get you! One minute you’re hugging me and telling me that you’re happy we met and the next you’re laughing at humans. Newsflash, I am human!”
“I’m aware of what you are,” Travis said, a razor edge just behind his voice. “You however are not suggesting you are a warrior. I am a proud warrior, a proud alpha. I think you’re great and beautiful, but let’s not pretend human men are on my level.”
“You’re half human!” Paige screamed.
“Not by choice,” Travis said. “I did not like Jacob’s attempts to humanize me. You know why I wasn’t there when my pack was slaughtered? Because I was trying to hunt and kill my own food to eat. I did not want to eat peanut butter or whatever other processed human crap Jacob bought from your store.”
“So now it’s my fault because I sold him peanut butter and jelly?” Paige yelled.
“I never said it was your fault,” Travis said, crossing his arms and shaking his head. He narrowed his eyes at her before speaking. “Do all human women jump to conclusions and take offense when none is meant?”
“Will you quit insulting humans?” Paige asked.
“It’s kind of hard not to,” Travis said.
“You asshole!” she screamed. “To think I thought you were attractive! I was going to put my life in danger to help you out. What good would I have gotten out of it?”
“You could have been my mate,” he said. “Helping me repopulate my pack.”
“Until you got tired of me and moved on to another mate!” she said.
“The pack must remain diverse!” he said, appearing insulted by her words.
“That’s not how it works for me buddy!” she screamed. “One man and one woman! This isn’t fucking Utah!”
Travis stopped, his face turning three shades of red. She couldn’t tell if he was angry or embarrassed, but he took several seconds before speaking again. “I am sorry to have insulted you. It was not my intention. Forget I said anything about being my mate, I spoke in the heat of the moment. I am still learning your human customs.”
“Do you even want to learn human customs?” she asked. “All it seems you want to do is find these rats and this vampire, kill them and take your land back so you can start raising a new pack. By then you’ll be back in Bowshot, away from us humans.”
Travis’ face scrunched up, but no words came out. This was all she needed to know, he wasn’t serious about anything to do with humanity, he just wanted his revenge. His politeness was just an act, the arrogant wolf that she had just seen was his true self.
“Please leave,” she said, pointing at the door.
“Paige, wait,” he said, walking forward with his hands
