Chapter Seven

Jonas teetered on the brink of losing his mind, and it was all the fault of one small, sexy werewolf with an oversized brain. Well, her and his bear. The two clearly conspired against him to drive him over the edge into insanity. He could find no other explanation.

It had been a week since Annie Cryer had stormed out of the Alpha Medical Center, leaving him standing behind, a muddled mess of lust, fear, longing, panic, and confusion. Seven full days and the only communication he had received from her was an impersonal, one-line e-mail thanking him for insuring that she received copies of the medical files of his clan members.

That was it.

For a woman who had implied she was his mate, she had a damned funny way of showing it. She’d been ignoring him. Completely.

His bear was close to losing it. It had been pacing around the back of his head all week, chomping and bellowing and basically making an ass of itself over her. Over a female. One female, and one they had barely even met, let alone had time to bond with, but the bear didn’t care. It wanted the she-wolf, and if Jonas didn’t hurry up and bring her to them, it was going to take matters into its own paws.

At least, that’s what it kept threatening. Given how much of a struggle it had become to keep his fur from sprouting at odd moments throughout the day, Jonas had to concede that the bear might not be bluffing. On Wednesday, he’d sent one of the junior admins running out of his office screaming because he’d sprouted six-inch claws from his fingertips in the middle of a routine scheduling meeting.

Now, it was Friday again, and he didn’t know how much longer he could hold on to the reins. Any minute, the bear could rip them out of his hands, force his shift, and spend the next however-long-it-took lumbering around downtown Alpha with its nose to the ground. In the wild, a male bear might stalk a female for days before she was ready for mating, following her scent trail all over her territory until she became receptive to him.

That was all Jonas needed, to get a stalking charge slapped onto his furry ass. That would really endear him to the doctor.

The bear insisted that she wouldn’t be avoiding them if he weren’t avoiding the truth. All he had to do was admit that the wolf was their mate, claim her, and everything would go back to normal. His bear would be content knowing their mate was marked and protected, and his human side could actually run his business without the beast’s interference.

Except he would be a grizzly with a true mate, and that didn’t qualify as even remotely normal.

He leaned back in his massive desk chair and brooded about it, which pretty much mirrored how he’d spent the majority of his time at work over the past week. Papers and messages had begun to pile up on his desk, but he didn’t much give a shit.
