It was hard to walk away from Cora like that. Especially when I could hear the change in her heartbeat as I rounded the corner. I heard Rose ask her if she was okay, and I held my breath as I waited for her to respond.

She may be saying that she wanted nothing to do with me, but I could tell from the rhythmic beating of her heart and the breathy way she spoke—she was lying.

That thought just riled up the wolf inside of me.

I gritted my teeth and headed out to my truck. I growled when I saw Katie leaning against the hood and staring down at her phone. I didn’t have time to deal with her right then.

I needed to follow Cora home to make sure she was safe. I was certain she was, but the irrational part of my brain had a tendency to win out over the rational part. And then I needed to head to the parking lot renovation and put in some hours.

Even though I was exhausted from practice, I still had a lot of pent-up frustration to burn off. I needed to get my thoughts about Cora under control.

Coach Pennington, Noah’s dad and school counselor—and part of our pack—had noticed my change in equilibrium while talking to Cora. So when I’d made my way back to the team, he had a few words with me.

Was I stupid? Did I think this was the best time to have feelings for a human? If the feelings were real, then I needed to try harder to stay away. The longer I indulged, the harder it would be to leave.

His words filled my mind and resonated with me. He talked about how things were quickly escalating in the pack and that me fating with a human was the last thing my dad needed.

I knew all of this. I knew it was ridiculous to have feelings for Cora. I was trying to fight them—I was. But it was hard to control the wolf inside of me. There was a part of me that desperately wanted to be around her. And that part was quickly winning out.

“What are you doing here?” I growled as I approached my truck.

Katie’s eyes rose to meet mine, and her smile widened. Her scent was strong as she leaned in toward me. I tried not to roll my eyes at her obvious attempt at seduction. If only she knew that nothing would work on a wolf who had found its fate.

Her attempts weren’t alluring. They were just annoying.

“I thought we could go grab a shake at Jordan’s. You know, for old time’s sake.” She smiled as she batted her eyes at me.

I growled. “Not hungry, and I have work to do. So, if you’ll excuse me…” I nodded in the direction that I was silently hoping she’d go.

But she wasn’t going to leave without a fight. “Liam,” she whined, “come on. What can I do to fix this? I miss you.” She stepped forward and began tracing her finger around in a circle on my pec.
