Chapter 12

For the last three days, Blade lived in a state of constant confusion. Whoever said being mated was like two puzzle pieces fitting together perfectly lied. Not that he didn’t love being mated to Forest, but it was like being on an emotional rollercoaster.

From the start Forest had been a handful. How he’d survived to the age of twenty-five was beyond comprehension. It was like he had no sense of danger. If he saw something he wanted, he just plowed ahead, damn the consequences.

Anyone else would have ended up dead, yet somehow Forest always managed to walk away fairly unscathed. His getting beaten up by Raptor’s men was the only time he’d actually been hurt. Sooner or later his luck was going to run out.

Blade, on the other hand, was always prepared to the point of obsession. Each plan was made with precision, and every possibility was gone over until each man on his team was ready. Some called him a fanatic, but in all the years he’d been running military ops, he’d only lost five men, the lowest loss of any leader.

It’s what made him a good second. As the leader, he sometimes obsessed so much the mission would have to be delayed. Talon never allowed that. He would force Blade to make a plan in the time allotted.

With the exception of when he ran away after realizing that Forest was his mate, Blade kept his emotions in check. Forest was all over the place. One moment, he seemed to like when Blade was possessive. The next, he was yelling at Blade for being an overbearing jerk. No matter what Blade did, he couldn’t win.

Right now, he was in hot water because some guy had grabbed Forest’s ass when they were walking down the sidewalk to the dojo, and Blade had knocked him out. He wasn’t sure what Forest thought he should have done, but he’d be damned if some guy thought that he could grope his mate without paying the consequences.

“Are you even listening to me?” Forest yelled from his position in the middle of the room.

It probably would not be wise to tell his mate how hot he looked with his feet braced apart, his arms crossed over his chest, and his green eyes spitting daggers at Blade. Instead he went with a safer answer. “Of course I’m listening. I just don’t see why knocking that guy on his ass for touching yours is a bad thing.”

Forest actually huffed with such a dramatic flair, Blade wanted to applaud his performance. “Because I can take care of myself. I don’t need you fighting all my battles for me.”

“I never said you couldn’t take care of yourself. But I’m not about to stand aside and let someone touch you.” Blade knew he wasn’t getting his point across, but he honestly didn’t know what else to say.

Forest threw his hands up at Blade’s answer. “Is there ever going to be a time that you think I can take care of myself? That I’m good enough to fight at your side, instead of you jumping in to rescue me.
