He snapped the burner off and shoved the frying pan to the back of the stove. His face

was furious as he growled at her. “What do you know about that bitch?”

Surprised at his reaction, Shelby struggled against taking a step back in fear. She could feel Daniel watching her. She didn’t doubt for a minute he’d go off on his friend if he scared her.

“Just what she did to Daniel.”

Mistrust flickered in his eyes. “He told you?”

She nodded slowly. No way was she going to tell him how she’d found out about the woman to begin with. It wasn ’ t Daniel ’ s nightmares weren ’ t anyone else’s business. “Yeah. He told me.” She took a deep breath, and let it out slowly. “Dallas, I need help. I’m Daniel’s mate. I know he’s a dragon, but I have no idea what any of this means, or what I’m supposed to do.”

It didn’t surprise her when his face closed off. “I’m not the person you need to be talking to about this.”

“Yeah. Well.” Her shoulders slumped slightly. “My mate is angry at me. I don’t know why or how to fix it.” She sighed, before straightening her shoulders and smiling at him. “You’re right--it’s not your problem. I’ll figure it out.”

He didn’t say anything for a long moment, before he dragged both hands over his face.

“Look,” he said quietly, his intense silver-green eyes on her as he leaned forward, his voice low. “That bitch fucked us all up, but what she did to Daniel…I’m surprised he never went off the deep end into sheer, absolute insanity. Hell, none of us would have fucking blamed him if he had. When he came back, everything about him was different. He’d shut off, disconnected himself from everyone he’d cared about, and led us into war. Until that moment, we had been leaderless. We were rogues[145], barely civil and nearly feral. Not only was no one brave enough to try to rule us, we would have killed anyone who tried to subjugate us. But as Daniel led us into war, it wasn’t to control us. It was to make us stronger, to fortify us from any outside attack. He became our king that day.” A chill rippled down her spine as his eyes bored into hers. “His mistrust in people isn’t bone deep, Shelby. It goes past the core of him into the very soul of what and who he is. He hasn’t allowed himself to feel anything for anyone since. If he mated to you, you’re the only chance at happiness he’s ever going to fucking have again. Ever.”

Shelby’s knees wobbled. What chance did they have of making it work if he’d only mated to her by accident?

Not sure of anything at the moment, she smiled at Dallas, because smiling was what she did. “Ok, then we’ll just have to figure it out. Need help with those burgers?”

He shrugged. “I’ll get them. You need to eat before your mate’s head explodes.”

Shelby took the plate he handed her, loaded with a juicy hamburger and chips.
