her against the brick wall he stared into her eyes. Fighting Misty wasn’t like fighting a woman. She was too strong to be seen as a woman.
    He’d seen her fighting other pack members, she was deadly.
    She lashed out, punching him in the gut. Cade didn’t respond. His body was hard muscle, there was no getting past him. There was no fight between him and Misty. He was that strong. He could win against anyone, and all the high-ranking members knew it.
    “Do you really think you can beat me?” he asked. He slammed her against the wall, watching the fear spark into her eyes. Cade held her like a rag doll. All he needed to do was twist his arm and he’d break her neck. “Your time in this pack is running out, Misty. Say one word against Titania or hurt her and I’ll ruin you.” He leaned in close until only she could hear. “Micah would force you out of the pack. Me, I’ll find you and I’d kill you without a second thought.”
    Letting go of her throat, Cade stepped back.
    She collapsed to the floor grabbing her neck.
    Without saying a word to anyone, he turned and walked away. If any of the other pack members thought they could take his place then let them. He’d show them all how real his feelings were for Titania and he wasn’t going to hide them anymore.
    She was his woman and would soon be his mate.

    “You’re alive,” David said. He wrapped his arms around her the instant he saw her. She laughed at his concern, trying to make light of the situation.
    “I’m fine, David. You’ve got nothing to worry about.”
    He squeezed her tightly making her gasp for breath. “Don’t try to kid me, Titania. I saw you. You were dying. I’ve never seen anything like it.”
    Holding onto him, Titania remained silent. There was nothing for her to say to make him feel better. She’d been close to death. There was no use in denying it.
    “I’m fine now.”
    “Why didn’t you tell anyone about your inability to change?” he asked.
    The anger on his face took her back.
    “Calm down, David.”
    “No, I won’t be calm. You’re my best fucking friend. I love you like a sister, Titania. You mean everything to me.”
    Swallowing past the lump in her throat she nodded. “I know. I see you as a brother.”
    “Then why didn’t you tell anyone? If I hadn’t been here and on one of my fucking trips you would be dead.” He slammed his fist against the door. She yelped when he left a dent the size of his fist.
    Biting her lip, she looked down at her feet. They were filthy from the trek out of the forest.
    “You’re not getting out of this one.”
    “I was scared, okay.”
    “Scared of what?” he asked. His voice softened as if he was talking to a child. She hated that. She wasn’t a child.
    “I’m a low ranking member, David. I’m not anything special. I’m good at doing a few things in this house. Not being able to change at will is just another mark against me—” She didn’t finish. The tears started to fall at the thought of being kicked out of the pack.
    “You were scared in case Micah forced you out of the pack.” His arms surrounded her, pulling her close.
    Pressing her hands to her face, she let the tears fall. “I can only just make it in this pack. Going out rogue or finding another pack wouldn’t work. I’m all alone here. This pack is all I’ve got.”
    “Not true,” he said, shaking his head. “You’ve got me and Charlotte. Our queen wouldn’t let you out of her sight. She loves you too much to risk anything bad happening to you.”
    He held her close while she cried.
    After some time, he lay on her bed and she went to take a shower to freshen up. When she came back, she found David lying on his stomach waiting for her.
    “You’re not tired?” she asked.
    “Do you really think I’d give up a chance to get all the gory details of your time with Cade? Come on, the guy went super possessive on me. He’s got the hots for you, baby.”
    Shaking her head, she grabbed
