“I’m not going to hurt you,” I leaned down and whispered in her ear.
Even though she had a threatening touch to her scent, she suddenly turned still, as I came close.
“Let. Me. Go,” she sneered, but I didn’t.
This female wasn’t accepting our mating bond, not that I was surprised. With the day I had had, this was just the tip of the iceberg, but I wasn’t going to let her kill me. I was lost and all alone, yes, but I refused to let Skylar’s death go unpunished, nor let my father’s betrayal be forgotten. He hadn’t believed his own son and kicked me out without warning. He was going to pay! I promised myself that, and I couldn’t do any of that if my own mate got a chance to hurt me.
“Only if you calm down and stop trying to kill me,” I growled at her.
She hissed at me, trying to get away, but I was too strong. I looked around at the other females. They were hesitant, not sure what to do. They clearly wanted to shoot, but their luna was too close.
“Tell them to put their guns down,” I told her.
“I’m going to tell them to shoot,” she growled back at me.
“Then we both die. Is that what you want?”
She didn’t answer, but she looked furious. She wanted me dead, yet she was locked in place beneath me. Killing me would end her too.
“Fine! Lower your guns!”
The females looked at each other, still hesitant to move.
“Now!”
That did it, and they all lowered their guns.
“Tell them to all take three steps back and turn around.”
If looks could kill, I would be deep underground. I couldn’t help but smile a small smile at her angry look. She almost looked like a kid who had been denied candy.
“Take three steps back and turn around,” she said between gritted teeth.
They did as she commanded.
“Now I’ll take this,” I said and held her wrists now with only one hand, as I took the knife from her hand.
“Arh!” she screamed at me, her anger getting the best of her.
“You’re going to calm down, and then we are both going to get up from here.”
“You’re dead the second you let go of me.”
“What made you think I was going to let you go?”
