“You can go now. Shut the door on your way out.”

Lily looked at me and nodded as she stomped out slamming the door behind her.

“That wasn’t necessary, you know.”

“What?” She asked in a voice of pure sugar.

I shook my head, “What do you want Christine?”

“I wanted to come by and say hi and check out my mate’s office.” She looked at me waiting for a reaction, but I bit back the growl at her insinuation and just glared at her. “Besides,” she continued, seeing she wasn’t getting a rise out of me, “I think it’s only fair that we spend a little time together. We haven’t really done that in years, Kyle.

“I assure you, it is not.”

“Kyle, come on. I’m about to fight to the death for you.” I saw her soften and a glimpse of the Christine I had grown up with, before she turned complete bitch, seemed to shine through. She shrugged, looking young and not so fearless suddenly. “There was a time you would have expected and even wanted this from me, Kyle. What happened?”

“You changed, Chris. I changed. We grew up. We grew apart. It happens.”

“When we were kids we were so certain we would be true mates. Do

you remember?”

I smiled. “I do. I remember how disappointed we both were when you turned eighteen and there were still no mating signs.”

“Yeah, me too. I was devastated, yet I still always knew we were meant to be together.”

“Chris, we’ve barely spoken in years. You’ve moved on. I’ve moved on. Why bring all this up now?”

“I know I’ve been a bitch to you. I was so hurt that there were no mating signs and even more so that you didn’t fight for us, Kyle. We were still compatible mates. You know that.”

“Christine, you know I could never settle for a compatible mate. You of all people know that.”

“But how can you be so sure Kelsey is your true mate? I mean, come on, she’s a trespassing little bitch who should have been run off our land the second she tried to settle here.”

“And if it had been anyone else I would have done just that, but Chris, she IS my one true mate.”

“I just can’t believe that. She’s been squatting on our land for over two years and suddenly you have this grand epiphany?”

“She’s been squatting on our land for two years because she’s my true mate. I wasn’t going to let her get away, Chris. I’m begging you, don’t do this tonight.”

I knew the second the words were out of my mouth that they were a giant mistake. If I could kick my own ass for saying them, I would. I watched helplessly as I spurred her hurt and determination to have me. I had inadvertently solidified the challenge for her.

“This is happening, Kyle, and you’re going to have to just get used to having me around. Kelsey hasn’t been properly trained. She’s still learning our ways and probably doesn’t even have a clue what to expect from tonight. I’m the stronger, more knowledgeable and better trained wolf here. I’m the better mate for you and I don’t care what mother nature has to say about it. You’ll see. I’ll be a good wife and mate for you.”

She slinked over and kissed me before I knew what was happening. My wolf wanted to attack at the intrusion and it took every effort to hold back from doing just that.

“I’ll be seeing you tonight,” she said as she moved away as quickly as she had attacked. At the door, she turned back to me. “Don’t worry Kyle. I’m not heartless. I won’t toy with her and she’ll suffer as little as possible. I promise.”

The sound of the door closing hit me like a ton of bricks with the reality of my situation. I could lose Kelsey tonight. I knew a part of me would be sad to watch Christine die, but I could stomach that loss far better than the alternative.
