It was a good thing Shay thought to stop me before I left the courtyard. With no clothes, no food, and nothing to help Paisley after her shift, I don’t know what I would have done.

He must have sent someone to pack a bag, because no sooner had I reached the interior of the forest just outside the courtyard than he was stopping me with a backpack bursting with supplies.

With Paisley moaning in agony, her scent growing sweeter and more addictive with each passing second, I knew she couldn’t stay in the courtyard.

A single female shifter’s scent is hard enough to ignore at the best of times, but Paisley’s would have drawn all the men in the courtyard to her room if I hadn’t gotten her away. Already, some had been emerging from the hall, inhaling her scent with their wolves in their eyes.

It was almost a relief when she lost consciousness because I knew I didn’t have to worry about jarring her, potentially causing her more pain as I jog through the forest, Paisley’s bag bouncing on my back.

I glance into her face. There’s a flush just beneath the surface of her skin, and her scent is growing richer as I cut a path through the forest to the treehouse I built several years ago. It’s far enough away that the men won’t smell her and respond to her lush scent the way I am.

I’m within feet of the treehouse when Paisley’s body stiffens, and she growls low in her throat. Slowing, I dart another glance into her face and stumble when my eyes lock onto her silver stare.

Wolf eyes.

But that isn’t what has me jerking to a stop.

Mine.

All the strength in my body gives out, and I go to my knees, gripping her tighter as the bone-shaking knowledge of what Paisley Brooks means to me leaves me stunned.

Mate.

A current lashes us together, an overwhelming belief I would kill for this woman. I would die for her. Anything she wanted—whatever she wanted—I would give it to her without question.

She stares back at me with those unblinking wolf eyes as I kneel on the floor, unable to look away or let her go. “Paisley?”

Her back arches, she rips her gaze from mine and throws her head back as a pain-filled shriek bursts out of her. Every muscle in her body tenses and then releases, over and over.

Shit, I just ran out of time.

Cursing under my breath, I shrug out of the bag, lay her down, and get busy stripping her because her shift is coming.

Now.

“Paisley, I need you to listen to me.” I stroke back sweat-dampened hair from her face.

She writhes in agony, her honeyed scent making me want to tear my clothes off and throw my body over hers. But she’s in pain, and the thought of my mate being in pain for even a second is a second too long.

“Paisley, open your eyes. Can you look at me?” Finished stripping the dress off her body, I keep my gaze trained on her face.
