Brennan's jaw dropped. What was Beck saying? How could Talori possibly love him?
"What?! That's impossible!"
"It is not. So fix it," Beck said in a hard voice.
Brennan couldn't believe this. Either that Talori loved him or that this merman who hardly spoke was confronting him about it.
Even if what he was saying was true…what was he supposed to do about it? They lived in completely different worlds! And there was Zale to contend with. Beck was his right hand. If he knew about it, Zale had to. Was he here on his orders or had he acted on his own?
"I don't understand," Brennan admitted. "What are you trying to accomplish here? I live on land. Talori lives in the ocean. It doesn't matter if we have feelings for each other. She would be better off with someone like you."
"Yes but she wants you."
Beck's words were like a sucker punch. She did? Really? Why? How had she come to that conclusion? He wasn't anything special.
