Chapter 52

Nathan stopped outside of his locker room. Everyone was charging toward the lunchroom. Hunger filled the air, but something caught Nathan’s attention. All of his senses went on high alert at the smell of fresh roses, the earth, and home.

Mate!

His wolf came roaring to the surface, demanding he find her. “Whoa, Nathan, what the fuck, man?” Seth put a hand on his shoulder.

Gritting his teeth, Nathan struggled against the need coursing through him. His body was burning up. The need to claim was stronger than ever before. This couldn’t be happening, and yet it was.

“She’s here,” Nathan said.

“Who?”

Closing his eyes, Nathan blew out a breath. The scent of his mate was fading. Where was she? Who was she?

“Mate.”

“Holy fuck, for real?”

“Yes.”

“Shit, do you want me to call your father?”

Nathan shook his head. He didn’t want his father here. It wouldn’t help. His wolf would calm the moment he found the woman meant for him, the woman who’d calm the beast inside him.

“No. I’ve got to find her.”
