Return Of An Old Friend

Zane was still sulking.

I could feel the tension radiating from him as he sat stiffly on the edge of the bed, arms crossed, his jaw clenched so tightly I was surprised his teeth didn't crack. His blue eyes were dark with frustration, watching me like a predator waiting for its prey to make the wrong move.

"You're really going through with this?" His voice was calm, eerily so.

I sighed, running a hand through my hair. "Yes, Zane. For the hundredth time, yes."

His fingers twitched. "I don't like it."

"No kidding."

His eyes narrowed at my sarcasm, but I didn't back down.

Jasmine snorted inside my head. "Big bad lycan thinks he can keep us locked in a tower like a helpless princess. Joke's on him."

I swallowed a laugh, but Zane's glare intensified, as if he somehow knew Jasmine was talking shit about him.
