COLE.

By now, everybody at Shifter Academy knows that Penelope is my mate.

Well, not just my mate.

She’s Aiden’s mate. And Parker’s.

But the biggest news will be that Liam found a mate.

Our future alpha.

I wonder what everybody will say when they realize that Liam has to share his mate.

Honestly, I don’t care what they have to say about me and the guys. I know we can handle it. I just worry what they’re going to say about Penelope. It’d be one thing if we were dragons and sharing a mate was considered normal, but we’re not dragons and it’s definitely not normal in our shifter community.

I won’t let them talk bad about my mate though. I will fight anybody who tries.

I am meant to be the beta of the pack. I’m second in line to Liam. If anything ever happened to him, I would take over as alpha, either until his heir is old enough to take over, or indefinitely if Liam doesn’t have an heir. I hope nothing happens to him; I don’t want to be alpha. I’m not into the whole political side of things.

Instead, I help protect Liam and the pack. Not that Liam needs protecting.

Now, we all agree—Penelope comes first. I protect her over all else. It’s law in the shifter community. Mate comes first, pack comes second. Always.

The guys and I give Penelope privacy while she’s showering. Even though I am so, so tempted to take a peek in her mind, I won’t. I would never betray her like that. Not until she says I can. I know someday she will say it’s okay.

Most shifters don’t wait to complete their mate bond. When they find their mate, they almost always bond the first day. But it’s different with Penelope. She doesn’t know this world and how it works. We’re going to have to go slow with her.

Slow is going to kill me.

But I’ll go slow for Penelope.

I’m so lost in my thoughts that I don’t hear Penelope walking down the hall toward the living room. When she walks into the room, just looking at her takes my breath away.

Her black hair is wet and pulled into some kind of knot thing on top of her head. I’ve never seen her with her hair up, and I can now see her face clearly. She is so beautiful.

I’ve never seen skin quite like hers. I don’t even know how to describe the color. In her head she thinks she’s pale, but she’s not. Her skin almost glows. And considering how much time we spent in the sun today without sunscreen, you’d think she would be pink from the sun, but she’s not. I think her skin color must be a supernatural thing, because even wolf shifters get sunburnt.

She has on a pair of black pants. She calls them leggings in her head, and she’s thinking about how comfortable they are. They look nice on her. Really nice. They hug every curve on her tiny frame. And as hard as I try to not check her out, I can’t help it.
