Roman shut the door behind him and curled his hands into fists, digging his fingernails into his palms. All he’d wanted to do was talk to Melody a little and make her realize that he hadn’t meant to offend her. He wasn’t about to make up with her, not in the way that mates would if they were going to make their connection a permanent one. There was just something about her being angry with him that he couldn’t stand, and he’d wanted to fix it. Roman wouldn’t be staying there in L.A., but he didn’t want to go on with the rest of his life knowing she thought of him as an asshole.

Then the kids had gotten involved. At first, Roman thought that might make it easier. They might soften Melody up a bit, make her more willing to listen to him. She didn’t have to change her mind about him completely, she only had to know that he hadn’t meant to hurt her feelings. The conversation Roman had wanted had been lost in the playtime of the backyard, and before Roman knew it, he was far too busy wrestling on the grass with the cubs to think about anything else.

Other than how striking Melody was in her true form. He wasn’t sure he’d ever seen a snow leopard shifter before. They weren’t nearly as common as the typical bears, tigers, and wolves. Though even his own form wasn’t the most common, he knew it was nothing compared to the magnificence of Melody. Her feline was lithe and quick, sidestepping without a hint of hesitation to nudge Ruby when she got off balance. She happily twitched her tail in the air to create a plaything for the children, who seemed to get quite the kick out of chasing her. At one point, Melody pretended to stalk Lucas and Ruby from behind a bush, digging her paws into the grass and wiggling her hind end in the air. That had certainly caught Roman’s attention, but the children were far more intrigued when she sprang out at them and dodged to the side as though she’d missed.

But then that little nudge had shown up in the back of his mind. Roman had recognized it instantly. Shifters of the same clan shared a telepathic link, one that allowed them to communicate with each other when in their animal forms. He had the same thing with his clan in Wyoming, and it was what made a clan truly feel like a family. Roman had always heard the stories of fated mates who experienced the same thing and how their bond formed that connection just like blood ties did. For the longest time, he hadn’t been sure it was real. After all, he hadn’t experienced that with Elizabeth. Roman had spent a lot of time convincing himself that it was little more than a fairy tale. Just as humans fantasized about romantic stories they saw on television or in the movies, shifters got caught up on some arcane notion of a particularly special bond.
