Ace gripped the steering wheel tightly for the whole drive over to Jade’s apartment. He should be feeling triumphant. After all, he had gotten what he wanted, right? He’d been trying to woo Jade for weeks, and his persistence had finally paid off. But he didn’t feel triumphant. He felt apprehensive. Because he realized that he couldn’t in good conscience agree to a relationship with Jade unless he told her exactly what that would entail. Which meant revealing to her that he was a panda shifter.

Over the last several weeks, his attraction to her had continued to grow. Not only was she beautiful on the outside, she had a beautiful heart. She had become one of his best friends, and he didn’t want to take a chance on doing anything that might hurt her. He didn’t want to mate with her without telling her who he really was. And he wanted to make her fully aware that he had very real enemies out there—enemies who might take their hatred of him out on her, if they knew he loved her.

Love. Ace let the word roll around in his mind for a few moments. It was a strong word, but he felt strongly toward Jade. He would lay everything out for her tonight, and he would hope that she still wanted to take a chance on a relationship with him.

Ace climbed the stairs to Jade’s apartment and rapped on the front door a few times. Jade opened it seconds later, wearing a pair of navy sweatpants and a gray long-sleeved t-shirt. Her hair was pulled back into a tight bun, like it frequently was when she was working.

“Hey,” she said softly. She sounded nervous and unsure of herself, which was unusual for her. She was used to being in charge and taking decisive action. Ace had often thought that she would have made a good alpha, if only she had been born into a shifter clan.

She’d make a good lifemate to an alpha, Ace’s bear whispered to him. He pushed away the thought. Before he started making lifemate plans, he needed to find out if she was willing to accept the idea of dating a shifter in the first place.

“Can I come in?” Ace asked. A silly question, but he somehow felt weird walking in without an official invitation.

Jade nodded, and Ace followed her into the tiny apartment. Ace had to hide his surprise at how small the place was. He knew the rescue center was a nonprofit organization, but, still—Jade was head of rescue operations there. Surely, they paid her enough to afford something a little more spacious than this.

Jade gestured to the couch, and Ace sat down. Jade sat in an armchair across from him, bouncing her foot up and down in a nervous, rapid rhythm.

“Jade,” Ace said. “I have a few things I need to tell you.”

Jade stood up and held up her hand. “Wait. Me first,” she said, then started pacing the room. Ace forced himself to shut up and let her take her time deciding what to say.
