Chapter 17. Come with Us

Kieran’s POV

I insist on driving Tish to work, promising that I won’t leave her stranded at the end of the night. Much to my surprise, she doesn’t put up much of a fight. She sits quietly in the passenger seat, glaring out of the window.

I know I need to talk to her about moving into the pack house, but I don’t know how to bring up the conversation. She already hates me, and I am sure she will hate me even more when she finds out that Mae is in danger simply because she is mated to me.

I pull into the seedy-looking bar and park around the back. It is now or never.

“You said we were going to talk on the way here, but you didn’t say a word,” Tish fills the silence grumpily. “You aren’t just trying to have sex with me again, are you?”

I can’t tell if she is joking or not. I chuckle nervously and shake my head. “I wanted to talk to you about Mae.”

Tish’s face immediately hardens. “What about her?”

I scratch the back of my head awkwardly.
