Reclaimed (Shadow Beast Shifters, #2)

by Jaymin Eve

“I am what I am. If you can’t handle me, that’s your issue.” That stopped me short, for the pure beauty of his statement. For my entire life, I’d tried to shrink myself to fit in, to make others comfortable and happy and accepting of who I was. But Shadow was unapologetically himself, and if it was too much for me, then that was my issue. Years of blaming myself, when all along… The issue didn’t lie with me. The revelation was breathtaking. And painful. And the best gift Shadow had given me.

I’m only going to tell you this once… If a single hair on Simone’s head is damaged when I return, I will put a stake through your heart, laugh out loud, and then shove one through your dick as well.” He blinked about a billion times before he slowly turned to Shadow. “Your woman is scary, brother. She’s going to laugh out loud as she stabs me.”

“She was hangry,” Angel said, her voice behind me as well. Sounded like she was standing near Shadow. “I’ve heard of that with humans, but that was my first time seeing it.” I shot them both a glare over my shoulder. “I was not hangry, you immortal assholes.”

“In thousands of years, you’re the first being to cross my path and give me a reason to fight for a different future. I never saw you coming, and I never anticipated you would wreak such havoc on both me and my life. There was no one else who was worthy.”

“You don’t know why you don’t want to destroy me?” I laughed. “Dude, you’re a little bit psycho.”
