“For fuck’s sake, Jason. You can’t be thinking about what she’s saying. Sweets, you can’t be thinking about joining a mating hunt and letting someone mate with you like that.”

“I am.” I said, letting my hand fall from Travis’ shoulder as he spun around to face me with an accusatory look on his face. His wolf was so close to the surface but he needed to back down. If he didn’t, he was going to drive Tillie to do something that none of us wanted.

“Jason, alpha. Fuck, you can’t be fucking serious? You know how they hunt, it’s savage. She could be hurt.” Travis scrambled for words, his skin rippling as his eyes lost all color. Gone was the bright green, replaced by the onyx color of his wolf. His anger was almost tangent, burning brighter than the calmness that I had tried to force onto him. I knew it would piss him off, but I didn’t need him pushing Tillie.

Our mate wasn’t like us, she was soft and kind. She was willing to do whatever it took to protect those that she thought of as hers. She had proven that to me already. When she realized that I would go feral if she didn’t mate with me, she had given herself to me in a way that no one else ever had. When I had pushed her too far, she had still accepted me. Letting me make love to her the morning after. I wished there was some way that I could make Travis understand.

He hadn’t been close to going feral without her. That fear hadn’t been sharp in his mind, controlling his every waking thought.
