Free Kye's Heart by Marisa Chenery

unless you want it broken.” She released his dick, but he didn’t let go of her wrist. “Just to set things straight, I wouldn’t want you if you were the last woman on Earth. Now you’re going to go back to the table and apologize to my wife for insulting her. I also suggest you leave, never to see Michaela again.”
    Kye released her with a shove. Katy stood there, her mouth working as if she tried to say something. To get her moving, he snarled his upper lip and growled softly. With a squeak, she turned and hurried away.
    “Now that’s what I call putting a woman in her place,” a man’s voice said from the entrance of the hallway.
    Kye looked in that direction and stiffened at the sight of Miles standing there. “What do you want?”
    Miles stepped farther into the hall. “I’m not following you, if that’s what you think. I’m here with friends. I happened to need to use the restroom, and here you are.”
    “Friends? I didn’t think you had any of those, unless you count all the lone wolves you’ve recruited to your side.”
    Miles’ eyes glowed for a split second with anger. “Those days are done. I no longer associate with the likes of them.”
    “So you expect me to believe that since finding out your daughter is the foretold one, you’ve turned over a completely new leaf? That one day you won’t up and change your mind about wanting to rule the packs yourself, through Jaden?”
    “I have, and I would never do anything like that to her. She’s my flesh and blood.”
    “So is Saskia, your own sister, and that didn’t stop you from sending one of your thugs to kill her mate. Eli barely survived.”
    Kye just stopped himself from saying that only Eli being turned into a werewolf had saved his life. As far as Miles knew, it wasn’t possible. He had no idea there was a spell only Roxie could use that would change a mortal into one of their kind, since she was the true foretold one.
    Miles sighed deeply. “I’ve come to regret that decision. I’ve apologized, even though it doesn’t make up for it. But believe me, those days are behind me. I want to be a better man for my daughter. I want to keep her safe just as much as all of you do. I know you won’t accept me back into the ranks of the Protectors, but I’m willing to take whatever you allow me.”
    “Does this newfound sense of duty extend to Saskia? And to Jaden’s unborn child?”
    “What?” Miles asked, a shocked expression on his face. “Jaden is pregnant?”
    Oh shit. Leif and Jaden obviously hadn’t yet told Miles about their good news. Hopefully, Leif wouldn’t want to kill him for telling his father-in-law about the baby. It didn’t matter, anyway, since Kye couldn’t take it back.
    “Ah, yeah, she is,” he said. “We just found out.”
    A wide smile broke across Miles’ face, then he hugged Kye, making him feel extremely uncomfortable. Kye had never taken Miles for the type to put on outward displays of emotion like that.
    Miles released him. “I’m going to be a grandfather,” he said exuberantly. “I have to call Jaden.”
    With another glowing smile, Miles turned on his heel and walked away. Kye hoped to hell he hadn’t messed things up for Jaden and Leif. Taking a big breath, he returned to his table.
    Michaela sat there alone with Katy nowhere in sight. She smiled. “There you are. I wondered if everything were all right, especially after Katy came back from the restroom, mumbled an apology and almost ran out of here.”
    “Sorry,” he said as he sat next to Michaela. “I was held up by a couple of people.” At that moment, Miles walked by the table with his cell phone held to his ear and gave him the thumbs-up sign.
    “Who is that? Was he one of the people you mentioned?”
    Kye waited until he saw Miles leave the restaurant. “He’s an old acquaintance. And yeah, he was one of them.”
    “And the other person?”
    “Let’s just say Katy decided to corner me, but I convinced her she’d made a
