"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."

"Come on, Seraphina! You live with him. All I'm asking is for you to mention me." She twirled a strand of blonde hair around her finger. "Just tell him I'm smart, pretty, and very interested."

"Elara, Sterling and I barely speak. We're not exactly on friendly terms." That was the understatement of the century. "Besides, he's engaged to Clara Beaumont."
