Sin’s announcement came as no surprise to Garret, but from the collective gasps of the rest of her family, it seemed that none of them had expected her to take the position. It became clear to him that those she considered family didn’t know her as well as he did. It was somewhat surprising since they’d just met but the connection between them gave him an extra insight into her.

“Are you serious?” Jase stepped passed his parents and eyed her with suspicion.

“I am.”

“Jase, I think we have a bit to talk about.” Garret’s fingers teased over the curve of her hip as he pressed her tight against the side of his body. He hoped Jase and Sin understood just what he was getting at.

“He’s right. Mom, Dad, if you could give us a few minutes.”

“This is a family run tribe,” the older woman complained as her husband touched her shoulder.

“It is to a point.” Jase’s words grew clipped. “Granddad didn’t include you in all of the decisions and as much as I love you, I won’t either. This will be our tribe and you must trust that we will do what’s right for it. You’ve taught us the difference between what’s right and wrong, instilled beliefs and morals in us. Now it’s time to let us lead.”

“Obviously, we didn’t do enough.” Mrs. Locklear gave Sin a pointed glance before strolling out of the room.

“It’s good to have you back home,” Mr. Locklear added with a soft smile before following his mate.

“Actually Jase, I need a minute with Garret.” She stilled under his touch, her body tense.

“I’ll be in my office upstairs. That’s the best I can do after kicking our parents out.” Jase crossed the distance to the steps before glancing back to them. “There’s a lot to life and one of the most cherished gifts is mating.”

Garret wasn’t sure what to make of the comment. Did Jase know what he already knew in his gut, that Sin was his mate? Why send him after her under false pretenses? Did the bear think this was all some kind of game, that he could move everyone around like chess pieces to get his desired results? This was why Garret wasn’t part of a wolf pack. He didn’t have the patience for the games that went along with it.

“I’ll understand if you want to leave.” She didn’t move away from him but he could feel the distance she was trying to put between them.

“Don’t close yourself off from me.” He turned her around so she was facing him. “I know we came together under questionable circumstances, but I think there’s more here between us.”

“What do you mean?” Her fox howled softly, tantalizing him.

“From the moment you opened that door, I was drawn to you. I wanted to press you up against the wall and run my hands over the curves of your body. I knew in that moment that you were my mate—not because Jase wanted me to protect you, but because our destinies were intertwined.
