Chapter Six

Shade

I doubted there was an adequate way to explain to Bob why I felt I had been blessed by the gods. At least not one he would understand. He wasn’t a shifter. There were some things about shifter life that just wouldn’t translate into the human world.

“All shifters search for their true mate, Bob. It doesn’t matter the species. Unfortunately, very few of us are lucky enough to actually find a mate. In fact, it’s practically unheard of.”

Shade had his own beliefs about why that was true.

“A shifter who has found a mate is truly blessed.” I ran my hands over the top of Bob’s head, through his hair, and then down to the nape of his neck. I rested them there for a moment, watching as the tension faded from his body before moving up to cup the man’s face between my hands.

“You do not know what a marvel you are, created just for me by the gods. My perfect mate.”

Shade still couldn’t believe it.

Bob snorted. “I think the gods shortchanged you.”

“No.” Shade was positive they hadn’t. He was still reeling from the fact that he held his mate in his arms. He truly had never thought it possible, especially considering what he did for a living. Just like Stone had said, men like them didn’t get mates.

Except, here Bob was.

One chance meeting and the whole course of Shade’s life had changed. He couldn’t say he was sad about that. Killing people—even if it was done in the name of good—weighed on a person after a while.

Well, most of the time. The ones who didn’t feel guilty, those were the ones Shade tried to steer clear of. They took crazy to a whole different level.

“Why do you think Stone and Stryker stopped trying to kill you the moment they learned of who you are to me?”

“Cause they’re nuts?”

Shade chuckled. “No, it’s because you’re my mate, and a mate is prized above all else.”

“We hear stories as we grow up,” Shade continued when Bob just stared at him, “stories of shifters who have found their mate and lived lives we can only dream of. Some of them had years together, decades, and others just a few hours, but not a single one of them ever said they regretted a single moment spent with their mate.”

“But how do you know?” Bob asked. “You just met me. How do you know I’m your mate? What if you’re wrong and someone else is your mate?”

I guess there were some things about shifters that hadn’t spilled over into the human world yet. “There are a couple of ways that I know you are mine. For one, you smell fantastic, and for a shifter, that says a lot. We have a very strong sense of smell.”

“That’s got to suck.”

I couldn’t help but smile. “It does have its moments.”

“I imagine so. I can’t stand it when people don’t bathe regularly, and I’m not even a shifter.”

“I was thinking more of the scent I smell whenever I sniff you.
