dressed,” he barked. “I expect you to be down there in five minutes.”
He pulled clothes for himself out of the closet and stomped across the bedroom to the door. Then he left, slamming the door behind him.
She wanted to fall to the floor and curl up in a ball until she died, but she knew if she didn’t listen to him, something terrible would happen to her. She numbly changed clothes and went to the bathroom where she found some toiletries Tricia had left for her. She pulled her hair back in a ponytail with one of the hair ties Tricia left, and didn’t even bother to look at herself in the mirror.
She didn’t search for her shoes. She just walked to the bedroom door and out, leaving it wide open, walked down the hall, and down the stairs, then stopped as she realized she had no idea where the dining room was. So she just stood there hoping that someone would come by and show her the way before her five minutes were up.

Josh was shaking with anger. However, it wasn’t directed toward Sidney at all. He was angry with himself. He had no idea where what he had said came from. He had just been angry at her defiance, the mouthy replies and his words just all spilled out.
When he had said she was inferior because was human, he could see the fight drain from her. Then he had threatened to punish her in front of the rest of the Pack, and she slumped in his arms as if she could no longer hold herself up.
He hadn’t meant any of it. He would never humiliate her like that. However, he had just gotten so angry when she spoke of Tricia in that manner.
He and Tricia had been together in their younger years. However, they were nothing but close friends now. The accusation that Josh used his position in the Pack to take advantage of the females made him see red.
When they had woken up and she allowed him to do the things that he did, he thought that maybe things would become easier between them. However, as soon as he said something about her being his mate, she ran away from him and tried to argue against it.
He knew she was human, and after all that had happened, it would be hard for her to accept this. But he had just grown so impatient and frustrated that he blew up at her.
He had never had someone argue with him, and stand up to him the way she did. It both impressed and annoyed him.
He slumped in his chair as Tricia walked in with his plate. She set it down in front of him and smiled, putting her hand on his shoulder.
“What’s up, Josh? Why do you look so down?” she asked.
He looked at her pretty face, which he used to be attracted to, and only saw Sidney.
He sighed and smiled at her, “Just having a bit of trouble convincing my mate to behave.”
Tricia chuckled, “I’m sure she’ll come around. She’s such a sweetheart. We talked for a little while when I brought her clothes to her. She’s just not used to all of this and afraid. But I’m sure, once you work your charming magic on her, she will be happy to be your mate. You are a charmer. I can’t wait until you two are mated. I can see Sidney and me being best of friends.”
Tricia patted Josh on the back, and walked back into the kitchen, leaving Josh feeling even more ashamed of himself. He had accused Sidney of treating Tricia like a maid/servant and then told her she was inferior to Tricia when she responded with her accusation of him using Tricia for sex. He could understand why she said it, now, but now was too late. They had both said some pretty nasty things to each other, but Josh was pretty sure if he hadn’t been so pushy toward her, she wouldn’t have responded the way she did.
He didn’t feel much like a charmer right at that moment—he felt like a heel.
Minutes later Richard walked in, with Sidney, “Look who I found standing in the middle of the foyer. She didn’t know where the dining room was.”
Richard was smiling, but Josh could see the reprisal in his eyes. He had been so angry with him because he had
