Boone walked into the grocery store. His tiger paced restlessly, growling and trilling for his mate, and Boone soothed him absently as he searched for Hedra. Fuck, where was she? Chase told her to stay in the store. Had she left anyway?

“Boone?”

He turned, his tiger purring and calling to Hedra. She stood in the gifts and flowers section of the grocery store, a grocery bag at her feet, and her face pale. Boone hurried over to her and pulled her into his arms.

She threw her arms around his waist and buried her face in his throat as he purred and trilled to her. A few humans gave them weird looks, but Boone didn’t give a fuck. All he cared about was Hedra and her safety.

She leaned back and stared at him. “What are you doing here?”

“Chase called me.”

Confusion, relief, and annoyance drifted from her in a heady scent that made Boone’s tiger trill to Hedra again. “Why did he call you?”

“Because I asked him to tell me if this Mateo guy threatened you again,” Boone said.

She sighed. “He shouldn’t have called you.”

“You’re right,” Boone said. He cupped her face, rubbing his thumb along her cheekbone. “You should have called me.”

She acted like she was fine, but he could smell the scent of her fear under her other emotions, and her body trembled lightly against his. “You were with Althea, and I didn’t… I didn’t want to bother you.”

He brushed a strand of her hair back before kissing her gently. “Your safety is not a bother to me, Hedra.”

“I wanted to call you,” she admitted with a shaky sigh.

He rested his forehead against hers and purred to her. “Baby, you always call me. Not your cousin or anyone else. Me. Do you understand?”

She nodded, and he hugged her again, rubbing her back as she took a few deep breaths. He admired her courage when she stepped back, but he took her hand anyway, gripping it tightly as she glanced around the store. “Where’s your nan?”

“She’s at home. Chase is with her.” He squeezed her hand and picked up the grocery bag at her feet. “C’mon, let’s go home and save Chase from Nan’s flirting.”

She smiled shakily at him. “Thank you, Boone.”

“You’re welcome, sweet lamb.”
