Chapter 53

“What in the hell is going on?” Jayden asks angrily. Elijah knows how he feels. He’s pissed, too, but it’s worse for Jayden. This man asked him out. He’s probably feeling betrayed.

“He’s the skin-walker,” Joshua says, his voice a little rough.

“Now, you stay out of this. This is between me and Jayden,” Ricky chides Joshua.

“Why is it between us?” Jayden asks.

“You have something I want, so I took something you want. I was going to seduce you, ask nicely, but you had to go and start seeing someone.” Ricky shakes his head.

Elijah tries to take aim at Ricky, but where he’s standing, if Elijah fired, he could hit his father.

“What do you want from me?” Jayden asks.

“You were born with a gift, Jayden. I’ve been watching you since you came to town. I knew what you were instantly, and I saw a chance. I have to sacrifice a human every time I want to turn into a wolf. You don’t have that inconvenience. You can turn into a wolf whenever you want. I want that too,” Ricky says.
