"I'm going to kill him," I mind-linked Kael.
"Not if I do it first," he replied.
I took a deep breath. I was furious with Derek, but at the same time, I couldn't help feeling slightly turned on by how Kael was handling the situation.
We were sitting with one of his celebrity idols, and yet Kael had zero patience for Derek's behavior—just like me.
"Please… can we change the subject?" I asked.
"So… what's your book about?" Kael inquired.
Suddenly, Derek's expression shifted. There was something… off about it now. A bit unsettling.
"It's about a woman without a wolf who tries to steal her sister's mate after her sister is attacked by rogues," he said seriously.
I swallowed hard. "Oh, a romance novel? Wouldn't have pegged you as the romantic type."
"No. Horror."
I gulped again. "Does it have a happy ending?"
"Well, the wolfless sister is killed, and the other sister gets her mate back. So, yeah… happy ending. Just not for everyone."
