Chapter Ten

Never in a hundred adventures and misadventures had Carly’s heart beat as frantically as it did then. Not even in the closest of her close calls. Her heart was skipping, pounding, heaving at the idea of Luke so close to certain death.

Mate! her wolf wailed. Mate!

She’d just about bowled Cody over in her rush to get to Luke’s side, and it was only when she got there that she hit the brakes — just in time to avoid hugging him to her chest.

Whoa. Wait a second. What was she doing, rushing up to him like that?

He’s our mate, her wolf cried. Our mate could have died.

She tried shaking her head. She didn’t have a mate.

Then how did we know something was wrong from so far away?

That one, she didn’t have an answer for. And it was hard to kid herself with her heart still jackhammering in her chest. She really had sensed Luke’s distress from all the way across the ranch. She’d run as fast as she could, and instinct had brought her right to the aqueduct.

Instinct brought us to our mate, her wolf said.

“Come here, sweetie,” Lana said, peeling Tana away from Ty and hugging her daughter tightly. “Let’s go home.”

Within minutes, everyone filed away, focused entirely on the kids. Which left Carly alone with Luke. She wanted to take off before the same overwhelming urge to touch him set in as it had that night they’d met in the bar. But, shit. She wanted to stay, too.

Careful, her wolf cried. Mate is hurt.

When Cody had dusted him off, Luke had winced. Now, he was just about swaying on his feet.

“Perfect,” Luke muttered just as his knees buckled.

She slid her arm around his torso and propped him up. “Right. Sure.”

Well, he is perfect, her wolf murmured, feeling the hard bulk of him flex.

“I’m fine,” he said through clenched teeth. His eyes were closed as if the world might be spinning in his mind.

“Right,” she said, adjusting her grip. “Come this way, Superman.”

“I’m fine.”

“Yeah, I can see that.”

She guided him along far more gently than she meant to. The heat of his body crept over to hers, and no matter how hard she tried to pretend she didn’t notice, she did.

It felt good. Comforting. Right.

He exhaled and relaxed under her grip. Was he thinking the same thing?

Boy, was destiny playing some mean tricks. Like inundating her with his musky scent. Like giving him that lost puppy look she sometimes spied when he let his guard down.

His guard is down because he’s with us, her wolf said. He trusts us.

Well, she sure as hell didn’t trust him — or herself.

She did some quick calculating. There was no way she could abandon Luke at that shack he’d been staying in. And no matter how she
