“Can we grab something at the diner down the street before we head back to the house? I’m sure Allan and Kyle have eaten everything in my fridge by now.” Damn teenagers.

“Sure,” he answered, glad she wasn’t fighting him on not coming back to work. He’d been concerned. She was the only daughter of a pack alpha and very smothered. She’d gotten the position at the Mirage by herself, away from her family’s prying eyes. The last thing he wanted to do, according to his bear, was smother her the same way they did by controlling her every decision.

“Glad you are finally listening to my advice.”

I always listen. I just don’t always agree.

He glanced into the rearview mirror again, suspicious of a black SUV following very closely, but when he turned into the diner parking lot the vehicle continued past without slowing at all.

“They followed us.”

Margaret’s comment snapped his focus back to her.

“When did you first see them?” he asked, climbing out of his truck. He slammed the door and walked around to open hers.

“First turn out of the parking garage,” she answered after he opened her door. She slid from the seat and looped her arm around his. “Guess the guy upstairs had a friend.”

A growl rumbled from Scott’s chest.

“Hey, we are fine and as soon as you feed me, we can head back to the house.”

He smiled down at her. His girl was tough. She’d just been attacked, spotted another hostile tailing them from the hotel, and all she wanted was food.

“Let’s get you some food then.”

They walked into the diner. He directed her to an open booth by a window so he could watch the street.

“Maggie!” A melodious female voice rang out across the diner. He turned just in time to see a tiny redheaded human rush at his mate. She shoved past him and hugged Margaret.

“Sarah!”

The two girls hugged and cackled back and forth about what they’d been doing over the past year, scolding each other for not catching up sooner.

He slid into a booth and waited for Margaret to remember he was there. It didn’t take long.

“Oh! Scott, I’m so sorry. This is one of my best friends from high school. Sarah, this is Scott…my…” Her voice caught and stalled. He smiled and reached out to shake Sarah’s hand.

“What she’s so eloquently trying to say is that I’m her boyfriend.”

The redhead beamed. “She was never great around boys.”

He laughed and turned to catch Margaret’s glare.

“I’m just fine with boys, Sarah McLain. I just never could find the right one.”

“Yeah, just keep telling yourself that. You’ve never stayed with a guy longer than a couple of weeks.” She reached over and patted his arm. “Sorry, no offense meant to you, but Margaret has commitment issues.”

The corners of his mouth turned up slowly. He knew why Margaret had appeared that way to her friend. A lot of shifters dated humans casually as they grew up to blend in with the human population. But those relationships were kept very short and superficial.
