Her wolf growled.
"Okay, No One. You can leave now."
His lip curled, and his eyes narrowed. "I'm not one of your servants, Princess."
"No, I just don't like you in my space."
He snorted. "So this is your space now?"
"Until I leave."
He shook his head.
"What?"
"I never thought my little brother would fall for a girl like you."
Little brother? A girl like her?
"What the hell does that mean?" she growled.
"Haughty. High maintenance. A pampered princess. Basically, you."
Was he joking? She dug her nails into the blanket as they lengthened, and her wolf tried to rise to her feet unsuccessfully.
He snorted. "Just like you're looking at me right now. You see me as scum."
Anger swirled inside her, and she narrowed her eyes. "All I see is an asshole."
"See, scum."
"Scum is someone you think you're better than. Being an asshole is a personality defect. I don't think I'm better than you, but I do think you are an asshole. That's on you, not me."
He snarled. "You don't belong here."
She gave him a mocking smile. "Agreed. How about you walk me out?"
He opened his mouth to say something, but the door opened again, and Titan sauntered in holding twenty-four packs of soda and several plastic bags. He looked at the man and then at River, and growled.
"Leave."
The man inclined his head and shot River a sideways glare before stalking out.
Titan took the soda to the fridge and stuck it inside. He paused for a moment and then turned to her.
"What did he say to you?"
"Who is he?"
Titan blew out a breath. "Kane."
"He said he is your brother."
"He's as much my brother as Bianca is your sister."
River snapped at the mention of her sister. "You stay the hell away from her."
"I will as long as she doesn't get in my way."
