Kasen pulled on his tie around a white collar button-down and black jacket. He hated dressing up for stuff. If they didn’t want him as he was in casual clothes, they didn’t need him at all. But his mother gave him no choice. At least this was almost over. It was time for him to choose his mate. Then he could fuck her, bite her, and go out and get drunk for the next thirty years of his life.He spotted his mother making her way through the overly lavish “parlor,” as she liked to call it. Stuffed upholstered chairs with matching pillows, glass tables with ornate wrought iron curlicues, trinkets everywhere, all high-end shit. The entire house was over the top in every way imaginable. No way he would ever live here.His mother came up beside him and slapped his hand down. “Kasen, how many times do I have to tell you not to mess with your tie after I’ve made it perfect? The women are going to think you’re a slob.”He sighed, wanting to roll his eyes, but didn’t. His mother hated it when he

The world spun for a few seconds. She could throw up any time now. There was no use in going after the wolf. She had such a head start that Andi could walk into an ambush the woman set up. But she could get the last word. “You can’t hide, Steel. They will smell you wherever you go.”Relieved, Andi staggered toward the house. She’d never been this exhausted in her life. When she looked toward the lit backyard, to her surprise, she saw everyone was coming out the back porch door. They must have heard the fighting. Kasen, beach towel in hand, ran toward her. Yeah, a cover-up would be nice in front of thirty people.He wrapped her in the towel and his arms. It felt so good, so safe. His features were feral with his wolf. He was pissed. “Did my mother hurt you? Are you all right?” He pulled away to look for injuries.She shook her head as he came close. “She bit down on my cat’s arm, but it mostly healed in my shift. When we get back to the house, I’ll shift again.”Kasen leaned into h

DAMN, her feet hurt. GERRI knew better than to hike the three-level mall in four-inch heels. But birthday presents must be bought, torture shoes or not. She’d just wear flip-flops the rest of the week—as long as she wasn’t meeting clients, anyway.Shopping bags lying on the kitchen table, GERRI fell into her home office chair and let the cushions suck her into comfort. A good office chair was one of the best things you could buy yourself. Money should go where you spend your time. Some spent it in front of the TV, some traveling, some reading. GERRI spent hers in her office, always on the lookout for another love connection.She wiggled her mouse to bring her laptop screen to life, then logged into her email. She purposely hadn’t checked it while shopping and was now paying the price for that little disconnect from the world.Twenty-five messages awaited her attention. Fortunately, her system automatically pushed spam and junk mail to other folders. Unfortunately, that meant all twent

Francesca brushed her hands down the front of her skirt, flattening the non-existent wrinkles. She spun away from the restaurant’s front door and stepped away. Her hands rubbed over each other.Good God. What was wrong with her?It wasn’t like she had to marry or mate some stranger she met here. It was just a meet-and-greet kinda thing.In the time she’d paced the sidewalk to the entrance, several men and women, each alone, each a shifter, had entered. She wasn’t the only one there. Her tigress was about ready to call her a pussy and push her inside. The animal wasn’t a pansy in a group of unknown people.Right, FRANCESCA thought, it was more like the tigress caught a whiff of cooking meat when the door opened.It didn't matter. She had to get inside.Fine. She’d go in.FRANCESCA sucked in a deep breath, lifted her chin and boobs, and strutted through the door. The huge drop in lighting took her human eyes a minute to adjust, but her tigress saw perfectly in its ideal environment.She

Marcus poured his first cup of coffee and reclined on the sofa, watching the sun come over the adjacent buildings. One thing he missed about living with his parents was their rural location. No tall buildings blocking the view, no cars honking or polluting the air. Just peace and smaller critters romping through the forests out back. He’d love to get back to that. He could literally work from anywhere. As long as he had the Internet, he could live in Antarctica.His bear shivered. Maybe not there. How about a nudist beach where it could run around naked? His animal must’ve been high. The damn thing didn’t wear clothes. High on love.Marcus would agree with that. They’d found their mate and now they had to woo her to make sure she knew they wanted her, and only her, now and forever.He heard the elevator down the hall ding, then a moment later, Theo opened the door. Was he humming? Theo never hummed or whistled. He did occasionally belt out AC/DC in the shower. Those were times Marcus
