Chapter 7

Jenni had been hanging out at the paddock for the VIP tours, hoping that one of the lions would find his soulmate among the patrons.

“Psst!” a feminine voice said.

Jenni’s ears twitched and she looked around and saw Trina in the storage building’s open doorway. She motioned for Jenni to join her, and she padded over to her. Caesar followed, his whiskers bristling in curiosity.

“Hey,” Trina said. “We brought my brother here. Win is taking him on the tour in a golf cart, and he’s going to stop here at the paddock so that Dev can see you in your form. Then we thought you could meet us down in the meeting hall so that you can shift for him.”

Jenni’s eyes widened. She wished she could speak, because she had a million things to say, chief among them was how Trina had managed to get Devlin to the park when the asshole hadn’t answered any of her calls or texts.

As if knowing what she was asking, Trina smiled. “Lex and I went with our mates and brought him here. Sometimes guys need a helping hand to get to the right place. Or a friendly shove.”

Jenni purred and nodded, excitement coursing through her. It had taken about a half hour, but she’d heard the golf cart as it pulled up and idled on the maintenance path in front of the paddock. Devlin had been confused, but he’d still approached the fence, and she’d raced right to him. She’d even let her humanity show through her eyes so he could see the change.

Once she’d shifted in front of him, she’d felt entirely exposed and it wasn’t just because she was naked. If Devlin freaked out because of her shifting, he’d still be stuck in the park. The council would never let him leave now that he knew the secret. In a way, she was thankful that Trina and Lexy had intervened because it forced him to see why she couldn’t leave the park.

She twisted her fingers together and inhaled deeply, trying to calm her flying pulse. She opened her mouth, but he put his hand up.

“Before you say anything, I was mad last night because you picked your friends over me. I know it was childish not to answer your calls, but I just didn’t want to face a decision of my own.”

She tilted her head. “What decision?”

“Resigning from my job and moving to New Jersey.”

Her breath caught in her throat. “Are you… what are you saying?”

He closed the distance between them and put his hands on her waist. “I didn’t understand why you had to leave last night, and I was too pissed to think that there was anything other than you not wanting to be with me at the heart of it.”

“I wanted to stay, I really did.”

“I had a chance to wake you up and send you on your way, but I didn’t want to. I was selfish, and I thought you were just being cautious because we hadn’t known each other long.
