I can’t do it.

I immediately growl low and deep. “What is wrong with you? We can find you some tail.” I flash Theo my fangs, and I see his eyes darting toward the stage and then back to me. “Oh, shit.”

“I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to blow our cover, but this she–wolf is my mate. My wolf is raging ballistic right now.” I explain to Theo, restraining myself and leaving out the wrong shit I am thinking about as well.

She will leave as soon as she finds out how I am.

I can give her the type of life she wants.

I turn back toward the stage in time to see my mate slide down the pole quickly and land in the splits. The crowd erupts.

I really can’t do it now.

I grab the balcony railing and launch myself over, landing on my feet below. The mind–link is loud right now, but I tune it out as Sirius chants “mate‘ repeatedly.

I shove shifters out of the way left and right as I make my way to the stage. My heart is racing, I’m nervous and terrified all at the same time, but one strong inhale of her scent, and I am centered.

The crowd is in a full–blown spiral of emotions right now. They are confused, angry, and about to boil over.

I can’t take all of them on. I will make my way through a good chunk of them though, but the neutral territory rules apply.

We can’t kill.

My mate kneels in front of me, her eyes wide and darting back and forth between mine. The bond tugs us together, demanding our attention.

It pulsates and pulls within my chest.

I clear my throat, feeling like I want to kill everyone and puke everywhere at the same time. “What is your name?” I whisper, holding my hand out as she places hers within. It is soft on the outside, but her palm is rough.

She’s worked here a while.

This enrages my wolf even more. There are too many threats to his mate.

“My name is Amani. What is your name?” Amani asks as I process her name. Her name matches her beauty. My mate is stunning.

How did this happen?

“My name is Damen.” I lightly squeeze her hand as a large, firm hand lands on my right shoulder, not belonging to Theo.

Where is he anyway?

“What the hell is going on? Who the hell are you? Get the fuck away from the stage.” The Alpha is yelling, but I tune him out as I run through the scenarios in my head.
