A rush of feelings makes her light-headed and Luna suddenly goes quiet—Kat wishes this were her accepting Darius but it isn’t. She notices the time on the clock and realizes the day has now passed—the moon has waned. Now she can no longer shift into her wolf; not until she no longer carries a pup. “I have to go.”

“Kat… will I see you again? Like this—will we be together again?”

“We’ll see,” she reaches up and kisses him. “Darius, it’s going to be fine. Everything will work out in its own time. As Digby says, we have to believe in fate.”

“I know,” he smiles and kisses her. “Everything’s going to work out, you’ll see.”

Chapter 24

Digby looks down at Kandy positioned on the floor in front of him; the condom perfectly balanced on the tip of her tongue, her lips pushing it hands-free down the shaft of his cock. Then suddenly he takes a deep breath and holding her back he steps away. “Sorry… but I can’t do this.”

“What? Wait… You don’t want me? What the hell? Why don’t you wanna do this? I thought—”

“Yeah, I thought I did too, but I don’t. You’re really nice an’ all, but I’m with someone and I can’t do this.”

“Well, fuck you!” She growls with annoyance, watching as he pulls the condom from the end of his cock and throws it into the trash beside the desk. “Arrgh… You know you’ve got some seriously messed up issues.”

“Hey, hey… what the fuck is goin’ on over there?” Rhys groans, looking up from where he’s standing behind Krystal’s ass. He stops mid-thrust and holds her positioned over the back of the couch.

“Kandy, are you all right?” Krystal looks up to see her sister pick her dress up from the floor and put it on.

“No. No, I’m not. He’s being a damn asshole. Says he doesn’t wanna do it with me. He got me all steamed up and now he sayshe’s with someoneand won’t fuck me.”

“What the actual hell… You can’t be serious?” Rhys’s blue eyes glare in his brother’s direction while he continues to grind his cock into Krystal’s wanting pussy. “Ryan, what the fuck is wrong with you? Just get on with it. What… you’ve suddenly grown a conscience? Well, you don’t need to worry, because I’m not gonna tell if you don’t. Ryan, for god’ sake just get it done. What are you, a wolf or a man?”

“I can’t. I can’t do this, it feels wrong. I should never have come here.”

“Fuck…” Rhys sighs as his cock goes limp with the unwanted interruption. “Hey, do you need a little pick-me-up? You know I can send Klaus, to get you some wolf-strength Viagra. It’ll have it up in five minutes.” He steps back and furrows his brow. “All right, are you going to tell me what the fuck is wrong with you?”

“I can’t tell you.”

“Well, after what you’ve just done, you’re gonna have to. So, spill?” Rhys pulls up his shorts and zips his pants. “Sorry, Krystal, but you’re gonna need to go.”

“What?” She turns from where she’s positioned naked in front of him. “What do you mean, you want me to go?”

“Uh-huh… look, I’m sorry. Really… I’mreallysorry because trust me, for a shifter, you are damn hot and you had such great-fuck potential, but it looks like we’re gonna have to pick this up another time. Now, get dressed—you need to go.”

Leaning against the dresser, he stares fiercely at Digby. Taking a deep breath, he sucks air through his teeth, hissing with annoyance over the rim of his glass.

The two girls gather their belongings and head towards the door.

“You know… you’re both assholes,” Krystal sneers, flicking her hair from her shoulder. She stares at Klaus on guard in the corridor outside, as he gestures them out. He then looks to Rhys, awaiting any further instruction.

“Klaus, escort the ladies downstairs. Get them some drinks, take their numbers, and then get them a cab wherever they wanna go. Krystal… I will call you. We will do this again,” he grins.

She gives him a stare that all but saysfuck youand stomps out of the door—Klaus closing it behind them.

“You know, Ryan, that was a really shitty thing to do. She had a great pussy and gave such a good blowjob. Fuck… I can’t actually believe you’re a brother of mine.”

“What do you want me to say? Sorry, but I just couldn’t go through with it. I thought I could but—”

“—you couldn’t. And why the hell not? Geez, you must be the first alpha wolf that can’t fuck a free shifter-whore. You know, those two are prime grade-one shifter ass. I mean really it doesn’t come better than that and you turned it down. Hell, you know you didn’t have to wear the condom if that was the problem. She wanted to fuck you that much, I doubt she’d have cared. What the hell is wrong with you tonight?”

“It wasn’t that. It was what you said—about shifter pups—it made me realize I shouldn’t be here.”

“Right, what because suddenly you’re worried about havin’ pups? Fuck, you have God knows how many already and it’s never bothered you before. Oh, what… are those ex-bitches of yours puttin’ a squeeze on your finances?” He cackles, watching as Ryan sits his still naked butt in his large leather chair. “Come on then—spill it. What did Kat do that’s got you so worked up?”

“Nothin’. Why would you ask what she did?”
