After their meal, someone pulled out a soccer ball. Some of the guys ditched their leather jackets and changed into sneakers. They settled into two groups and started a game of soccer.

Others headed into the woods, taking the hiking trail.

Kontra lounged on a picnic bench and called to Mac, beckoning him with his fingers. “There’s a nice clearing twenty feet up the trail, Marrakesh,” Kontra told him when Mac stopped next to him. The bear shifter lowered his voice, adding, “Do you want help?”

Mac curved his lips into a sly smile. “I think I can figure out how to woo my mate on my own.”

Scoffing, Kontra shook his head. “Not what I meant, and you know it.”

“I do.” Mac chuckled. “But the look on your face was worth it.” After a second of hesitation, he added, “Maybe. I don’t know. Are you telling the others?”

Kontra shook his head. “Not if I can help it,” he replied, sweeping his gaze over the five other humans who’d been rescued by the gang. “Maybe take Elron and Castor with you. Bet they could help smooth things over.”

Mac focused on Elron, who was actually a fae prince. He had his pointed ears and lavender eyes hidden under a glamour. Elron stood with the other rescued humans, talking and smiling, his arm around Castor. From the looks of things, Elron’s crow shifter mate would rather have been soaring through the air. He kept glancing at the sky.

I totally understand that urge.

Mac didn’t indulge his Darwin fox’s need to run nearly often enough. That was something he knew he needed to remedy. Meeting Kontra’s gaze, Mac figured now was as good a time as any to ask.

“If Deter is willing, could we—”

As if conjured just by saying his name, Deter stopped next to Mac. “Everything okay?”

Mac nodded. “Better than.”

With his mate so close, Mac had to reach out and grip his hand, soothing his urge to touch, to be close to the other half of his soul. Lifting Deter’s hand, he brought it to his mouth and pressed a kiss to his knuckles, liking the way Deter blushed.

“I’d like to go for a walk with you,” Mac told him softly. “Take some time to get to know each other better. Kontra says there’s a nice clearing a little ways up the trail.” Seeing Deter’s brows shoot up, Mac realized how suggestive that sound. It was his turn for his cheeks to flush. “Uh, I mean... we don’t have to do anything but talk. I just—” He snapped his mouth shut as he racked his mind for a way to explain.

Deter lifted his free hand and touched Mac’s shoulder. “I know what you meant,” he whispered, peering shyly through his lashes at him. “I’d love a walk.”

Mac bit back a sigh of relief as he nodded. As much as he wanted to be alone on their walk, he knew he had to share his nature with Deter. He wanted to be honest and upfront with his mate.

“Do you mind if I ask Elron and Castor to join us?”

Mac knew he’d surprised Deter.
