Ascend (Wolf in Exile Part 3): Werewolf Shifter/Vampire Paranormal Romance (6 page)

Thane shook his head. “I’m not interested in taking vampire blood.”

Tomas nodded toward her. “Then she’ll have to tell you herself.”

“Tell me what, Kalena?” Thane urged.

“I was with your brother,” she said.

“With him?” Thane’s gaze switched between her and Tomas. Without another word, he approached Tomas, lifted the wrist to his mouth.

Thane took the vampire’s blood for a minute and then literally stumbled back in the same manner Tomas had. Kalena was certain that the look of scorn and hurt on Thane’s face would be one she’d remember for ages to come.

“Kalena?” he spoke calmly, but his veins rose on his neck and his skin darkened as his face heated. She saw his markings like never before. They were the deepest black—every line, every curve. “My twin brother?”

She nodded and then shook her head as if trying to clear away the memory. “I couldn’t remember.”

Thane lifted his face up to the ceiling, took a ragged breath, and then scrubbed his hand down his face.

Kalena could tell he was doing everything in his power to keep his composure. He looked the way she’d felt the day Gavin—Gavril—had revealed his true colors. She was no more than a sex buddy for him. It was why she’d been hesitant to refer to him as her boyfriend. She was someone for him to relieve himself inside of whenever he felt like it. She’d wanted the sex just as much as he had. She’d agreed to those terms. She’d always known a committed relationship with him was not an option. For several weeks they saw each other, and he’d hinted many times that he would never be anything more than dating material. Something had told her to call it quits with him, but she had ignored her gut instincts.

“Thane? I’m in! I hacked the old Silex system!” Jugkar jumped up from his chair and did a little happy dance. “I did it!” He was the only one in the room with a cheesy smile on his face.

Thane blinked once, dropped his gaze away from Kalena and stormed out of the room.
