“What the hell are you doing here, Fialko?” She flicked the light switch.

He caught his breath and grinned. “Sucking in your essence.”

“I want you to leave.” Zoe clenched her hands into fists, ready for another blow. It had felt good to blast him.

Jack raised his eyebrows and held up a hand in supplication.

“Why are you here?”

He stood, shook off the effects of her blast, and crossed the room. “Diane called me.”

“That’s supposed to make me feel better?” She hissed in a breath when a fresh bout of anger gripped her throat.

“I’m sorry.” He reached for her hand.

“Sorry?” She shook off his grip with a sharp motion, which caused a frigid breeze to blow through the small kitchen.

“What do you want me to say?”

“I don’t know Jack. Figure it out for yourself. I got enough problems of my own without adding yours to the list.”

“Diane said you were pretty upset.”

She gave a small, tight laugh, and tried to stay calm, but all she could see was Jack hooking up with the picture-perfect doctor. His hands slipping through her perfect, platinum hair.
“Did she mention how she was the one who broke down in tears?”

“No.” He winced. “She didn’t.”

“Did you even think about how finding out about us might hurt her? Hurt me?” Zoe’s eyes began to water and she squished them shut. Not going to cry.

“Hurt her? No. I didn’t.” Jack eyes went hard, his voice clipped and tight. “She was the one that left me. Did she tell you that? I loved her. I was ready to stop searching for a mate that matched me, and marry her. Damn it, I was going to give up my clan’s hope for the future for her. She dropped me like a bad habit during the last solstice and **** herself silly with some other guy.” His eyes sparked with fire and glowed briefly. “Why the hell would she care that I found a solstice mate?”

His words hit her like a blow to the gut. She sunk onto the couch, physically and emotionally numb, unable to breathe.

Jack had loved the ice princess doctor and he didn’t love her. She gripped her queasy stomach and gave up hope of ever finding peace with her mate.
