Dominic’s voice thundered through the courtyard behind me.
“Split into four teams. East, north, west. I’ll take the south with my mate.”
I stopped abruptly and turned to look at him.
“Do you have another mate? Because you sure as hell can’t be talking about me.”
“What is that supposed to mean?” His eyes tightened.
“You’re the last person I want to be with right now so there’s no way I’m heading south with you.”
He could stay with his people for all I cared.
He drew in slow, steady breaths. “I can’t leave you all by yourself.”
“I have Killian with me. I really don’t need you.”
He laughed with an edge that irked me. “Or you’ve been looking for an excuse to be with him all along?”
“If that’s what your insecure mind is feeding you, believe it.”
“You don’t want to be with me? Fine, take the lead with Killian and let’s see who gets the kids first.” He said and walked ahead of me.
“It’s not a competition, Dominic!” My face went sour.
