Chapter 188 Tobin walks casually into the room, not seeming surprised to see me here. My mind scrambles to come up with an excuse as I move away from the desk. “Luna Leah,” he greets, moving to intercept my path, blocking me from a direct escape to the door. “To what do I owe this visit?” “You don’t seem surprised to see me,” I comment, stalling for time. Tobin gives a lazy shrug, but his pale eyes are sharp as ever. “Because I scented you long before I stepped into my office.
Fury and lust. Quite the combination.” I feel my face getting hot, and Tobin grins, clearly enjoying how he’s flustered me. “I’d be flattered to think you’re all twisted up over me, but I’m sure it’s that Alpha mate of yours who really gets to take the credit,” Tobin continues. “So tell me, Leah, why are you in my office?” “You were at the Roberts mansion a few times died. It seemed like you were friends with Liam. I didn’t know who else to talk to, because I think there were things they were keeping from me, and I’m beginning to think those things didn’t go away just because my father and my brother are dead.” Tobin crosses his arms and regards me with faint amusement, like I’m a chess piece and he’s debating where to move me next.
I don’t like it one bit. Between James’s warning and my wolf bristling, I feel like even standing in the same room as this unpredictable wolf is dangerous. Tobin, however, moves closer, crowding me toward the desk until the edge presses into the backs of my thighs. “Of course Liam and your father had secrets you didn’t know about,” Tobin says, his voice almost chiding, as if I should have realized and accepted this fact on my own instead of questioning it. “But you have to ask yourself, Leah, do your really want to know what those secrets are? What if knowing them changes everything you thought you knew about your family?” I tilt my chin up defiantly. “You might be surprised what I already know about,” I try to keep my voice light, playing along with Tobin, hoping this will get me what I need. “You know what they say-knowledge is power.” “So it’s power you’re after, Luna?” Tobin leans in closer, bracing a hand against the edge of the desk, angling his body toward mine. I don’t like the feel of being crowded by him, but I remain where I am for the moment. “Isn’t everyone?” I ask coyly. Tobin’s eyes glow, and I resist the urge to shift back or show any weakness. “Leah, you have no idea about the power you already possess…”
