“Where I stand.” He repeats slowly.
“Which is currently in last place.”
He eyes flash with understanding, and he sneers. “How do you figure, considering she can’t stand you?”
“Way I see it, I’m the only one who knows what she sounds like cumming around their cock. Thane’s in second place with his fingers. You’re last.”
His pupils shift into slits as his inner beast surfaces. A menacing, sibilant rumble deep in his chest silences the world around us, driving every creature within earshot into hiding.
“Perhaps youwere, wolf. You have the winged one to thank for that.”
My jaw clenches as we stare each other down. “Do you challenge my claim?”
A bone-rattling laugh cuts through the silence. “What is there to challenge when she willneverbe yours?”
“You talk a big game for someone with nothing to their name.”
Ramsey’s eyes shift back and my blood chills when he smiles. “Hastings, if you think that’ll help you win, you’re playing the wrong game.”
I let my demon rise before I say something I’ll regret. Not because I’d feel bad, but because Ramsey doesn’t need any more scars. I’m doing him a favor, really. When the transformation is complete, I howl into the night once more, laying the threat at his feet. With one last glare, I turn and make my way back to my clothes, planning, plotting, and picturing Nyx underneath me again after it all pays off.
Phase one of my plan comes together when I finally get Tori’s phone number the next day.

Obviously.
