Cry Wolf (Dark Hollow Wolf Pack 2)

“I didn’t know you, baby. I only knew your name, but you killed my brother, Rory. We have
to face the fact and find a way to move on. The man you attacked when you shifted was my
brother, Aaron. He never had a chance against you in your wolf form, and you had to know that. ” Rory was silent, still staring at Casey, looking as if someone had kicked him in the head. “I-I
protected my alpha’s mate. He was holding a knife to Nicky’s throat. ”
“Aaron told me he was going to negotiate with Marco. Wasn’t that what he was doing?” “He had a knife, Casey, at Nicky’s throat. ”
“But he hadn’t hurt anybody. ”
“That didn’t mean he wasn’t about to. I did what I thought I had to do. ”
“Doesn’t make it right. ”
Rory snapped out of his daze. “You’re going to talk to me about what’s right? The two of
you kidnapped my brother and Nicky. ”
“Be quiet. Don’t argue with me! I’m trying to tell you I have these crazy mixed-up feelings
about you. I came here to kill you before I knew you were my bloodmate. I took a vow of vengeance against you. How in the hell am I going to reconcile that with wanting to fuck you
every time you come close to me. ”
“Fuck me, not make love to me? So you’re saying you don’t love me. ”
“No, damn it! I do love you. That’s what’s tearing me apart. Suppose I’d killed your little
brother that day. On purpose. How would you feel about me?”
Rory shook his head. “It’s a totally different situation. My little brother was an innocent pet,
kidnapped away from his home. Your brother was a wolf who deliberately put himself into that
situation. ”
“He was still my brother, and he didn’t have to die like that!”
“Well, I guess I’d have to try to forgive you then if it were me. If I couldn’t, then I’d reject
you as my mate. ”
“Not a chance,” Casey said angrily. “Stop trying to get away from me. No, I can’t let you
go, but you have to be punished. It’s the only thing I can do to stay loyal to my brother. ” “Punished? I’m not your child, Casey. Or your prisoner. ”
“That’s exactly what you are. You’ll do as I tell you to now, Rory. I’m in charge, and it’s
time you learned that and took your proper role in this relationship. Now be quiet and say yes sir
like a good pet. ”
Rory stood up abruptly. “You go to hell!” He began to pace around the room still stark
naked.
Casey could see the anger in his face. He watched him carefully.
