tightened harder around Aaron’s hands.
    Lucas didn’t need the reply, apparently. “Look at you, as scared as a rabbit. Take it easy, girl. I’m not going to hurt you.”
    The words only unlocked the very final bits of memory Cecilia needed to remember what was missing. This man had saved her life… but he had taken her from her home.
    Was he planning on doing the same to her as the pack that had tried to violate her?
    “Cecilia,” she heard Aaron said softly.
    Her body twisted towards him, and her eyes met his green eyes staring at her soothingly, concerned.
    “You okay?”
    Hunger forgotten, Cecilia wanted nothing more than to backpedal and run out of this place. She wanted to run back to her small apartment and disappear from men who threatened her and transformations that she would never be able to forget.
    “I want to go home,” she muttered quietly, shoulders tightening into knots by her neck as she tried to shy away from Lucas’s piercing gaze.
    “No can’t do, missy.” Lucas stated, cutting through before Aaron could respond.
    Cecilia faced him with wide eyes, shocked. He was leaning his elbows on the table, one of his broad hands reaching for a plate of scrambled eggs, his eyes cutting into hers.
    “Not until the threat is finished off anyway.”
    “What do you mean?” Aaron voiced her concern for her.
    “I thought you said you took care of the pack.”
    Wait—What? Cecilia shot a look toward Aaron. He knew? He knows…? Of course he knew… but wait… what did this make him?
    Lucas shrugged, “I said I took care of most of the pack. I’m still hunting them. Cocky mutts have been making the edges of the territory a mess. I had to stop and speak with Mikaela’s pack to keep them from taking advantage of the situation. Lucky for us, Stephen was in a good mood. Although, you’d know all this if you—oh I don’t know—did your fucking job and joined me in this. We might have even caught the little shits by now.”
    Aaron gave a short huff of annoyance, “Sorry if my idea of fun doesn’t include pissing on trees and running around next to your flea-bitten ass.”
    “This isn’t about fun, Aaron.”
    Lucas snapped, patience seemingly gone.
    “It’s about making sure our pack’s territory is respected.”
    “Keep telling yourself that,” Aaron deadpanned.
    Lucas let out a loud snarl and was storming in his direction with the thunderous approach of a train. Cecilia squeaked in fright, pressing herself tight against Aaron’s body to hide from Lucas’s attention.
    To her surprise, Lucas never got close enough and when she blinked out from Aaron’s chest, she saw Marlo and one of the maids standing between the siblings.
    Lucas stared violently green eyes into his brother’s, jaw flexing as he huffed viciously.
    “Step aside, Marlo,” Lucas hissed, never tearing his gaze from Aaron’s.
    “Sir,” Marlo spoke.
    “I’m afraid I cannot do that.”
    “Coward!” Lucas spat, turning around and thundering around in a brutal pacing that Cecilia could feel beneath her feet.
    “Father knew you’d turn soft!”
    Aaron said nothing, instead he waited in silence as his older brother stormed off, ripping his shirt from his back as he approached one of the back doors of the dining room. A maid seemed to appear from behind a wall in time for her to push open the door and Cecilia stared, stunned, as Lucas barged out the door.
    His body surged and exploded in the familiar body she had seen just the night before, but he was out of sight and deep into the expansive background of green trees and lush bushes of the forest before she could catch the finer details of his body.
    Aaron gave a small sigh. Cecilia managed to pry her gaze from the door that was now closing and toward the man who held her close.
    “Sorry about that,” Aaron explained, his eyes betraying a hint of dismay.
    “My brother is a bit more…caustic than people can handle.”
    It didn’t hit her then that she needed a little more
