"Sterling, what have you done?"  I whispered, my voice trembling.  "He was just asking for help!"

My stepbrother's eyes, usually a deep emerald green, now glowed with predatory amber as he shifted partially back from his wolf form.  His breathing was heavy, primal.

"He was too close to you, Aurora.  His scent was all over you."  Sterling's voice was eerily calm as he wiped blood from his hands onto his dark jeans.  "No man approaches what's mine."

Mine.  That word made my skin crawl.  I wasn't his.  I was his stepsister, not his possession.

"Get away from me!" I shrieked, pushing against Sterling's chest with all my strength. My hands trembled against his solid frame as I stumbled backward.


Sterling's eyes darkened. The predatory glint that had haunted me moments ago during that forced kiss now burned even brighter. He watched me retreat, seeming to enjoy my horror.


"That was quite a kiss, wasn't it, Aurora?" His voice dripped with satisfaction. "I've waited years to taste those lips."


"How could you?" My voice cracked. "We grew up together! You were supposed to be my brother!"


He tilted his head, studying me like I was a curious specimen. "Step-brother. And I tried, Aurora. God knows I tried to be just that. But you were never meant to be my sister."


I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand, trying to erase the feel of his lips on mine. The action made his jaw clench.
