and went to find a parking space. Jeneva jumped out of the truck and ran into the bar.
All eyes were on her when she burst in. Tommy and Gabriel were there. George and Marcus were asking Rayner to calm down. Three beer glasses were smashed against the wall, and two stools were overturned. Jeneva ran to Rayner's side and put her hands on his arm. When he turned, he didn't even seem to recognize her. His eyes were glazed and glossy and his mouth was turned into a furious scowl. She didn't get the embrace she expected to get. He stepped towards her and pushed her away, hard.
Jeneva froze with shock, being shoved by her mate for the first time. He was looking at her with hatred. She didn't understand what could have made him shift in such a short time. Was it something she did? Or didn't do? Did something bad happen at work? Or was he finally regretting mating with her? She took a cautious step towards him.
"Why did you push me? I came here to see you, Rayner."
Rayner shook his head, shutting her voice out. "Lies. Everything was a lie. You're a lying whore, Jeneva. Did you think I wouldn't find out?"
Jeneva looked at Marcus for help. Marcus shrugged and shook his head at her. "Rayner," Marcus said, "I wouldn't have served you if I knew this was how you were feeling today. Go home and sleep it off, man."
Rayner whirled on Marcus and pointed an accusing finger at Jeneva. "Not before I tell this bitch what I really think about her," Rayner strode to Jeneva, his muscles tight with anger.
"Bitch?" Jeneva clenched her jaw. "Rayner, honey, I don't care if you had a bad day at work, or whatever is going on, you don't ever get to call me that."
Rayner took her wrists and pinned her against a wall, "I'll call you whatever I want." He glared into her eyes. "I never want to see you again, you lying slut. Do you understand?"
His words felt like a slap to the face. Jeneva caught her breath, trying to make sense of the situation. She couldn't make sense of it. Her temper flared and she pushed back against her. He was stronger.
"Why are you being this way?" Jeneva yelled. "If you regret mating with me, just tell me! I'll go! No problem!"
"Yeah, I regret mating with you," Rayner said. "I regret ever laying eyes on you!"
Jeneva's heart broke into a million pieces. All the breath went out of her and it was hard to see straight. Was this the loving man who had held her so protectively just two days ago? His face had transformed. She'd never imagined anyone could look at her with so much hatred and disgust. She kicked him hard in the knee and he backed off of her, letting her go. Suddenly, Jeneva wanted to kill him. Her fur sprouted and her claws came out as she shifted into her Bear form. She leaped for his neck.
Rayner shifted quickly and caught Jeneva's kill attack before it could get him. He rolled on top of her and tried to pin her, and keep her from attacking him. He was pissed, but realized there wasn't a bone in his body that wanted to hurt her. Too late, because she was really trying to kill him, now. She sank her teeth into his arm. Rayner roared and fell to the side. Jeneva was on her feet. She took a swipe into his back. The gash bled heavily onto the floor.
Jaime came in to see his sister trying to end Rayner, and doing a good job trying. Rayner was obviously holding back, but Jeneva didn't notice, or didn't care. She snapped at Rayner's face and Rayner merely batted her away before she got him in a death grip. Rayner was losing this battle. He wouldn't be able to fend her off forever.
Jaime shifted, turning into a large Bear. He barreled Jeneva over and grabbed her by the nape of the neck. Jeneva couldn't move towards Rayner, or get Jaime off of her. Rayner took the opportunity to shift out of Bear form. He fell to his knees painfully. Tommy went to help him up, but Rayner pushed him away. He limped out of the bar, leaving spots of blood on the floor.
