Chapter Twenty-One

After hours of making love Raja and Bethany lay tangled in each other’s arms, their exhaustion taking hold as night was becoming day. His mating couldn’t have come at a worse time. Tiger shifters were living in a dangerous time, but still he couldn’t deny himself the pleasures of Bethany.

“You’re thinking too hard.” Snuggling against him.

“Hum?”

“When you’re thinking hard, you have a deep line that forms on your forehead. Penny for your thoughts?”

“It’s nothing,” he whispered in her hair before kissing the top of her head.

“If we’re mates, we should be straightforward with each other. A relationship that isn’t built on honesty and trust isn’t one I want to be in.”

“I was just thinking what bad timing this mating is. It’s dangerous to be a tiger shifter or someone even connected to us now, especially the Alaskan Tigers. Pierce will stop at nothing or no one.”

She took it in. “Did you have control over mating?”

“No. Not really. We can hold it off for a short time, but it infuriates the tiger. It makes us on edge as we battle the tiger claws and rage. If it takes too long, our animal will take control of the mating. When that happens it’s perilous—we can be uncontrollable with the need for our mate’s touch.”

“Then why worry about the bad timing? If there was nothing you could do, isn’t it better to accept the situation?” She ran her hand lazily over his chest, caressing his abs.

“Just because you make a good point doesn’t mean the worry vanishes. I’m not worried for myself, it is you I’m concerned for.” He laid there staring at the celling, wishing they weren’t having this conversation.

“Me?”

“Yes. There are transitions that will be taking place soon, and it could…well to be honest, dangerous situations will arise from it.”

“I can take care of myself. What transitions?” She propped herself up on her elbow and gazed down at him.

“Bethany, you’re an amazing woman with many talents…”

“But?”

His lips curved into a smile. “But you don’t stand a chance against shifters. We’re stronger, faster and deadlier than a raving human on drugs.” He rubbed his thumb over the dimple in her chin. “I don’t want anything to happen to you.”

“I’ll be fine.” Lowering her head, she laid a light kiss on his lips.

“To see to that I’m assigning guards to you. It is normal procedure with the Alpha and the Lieutenant’s mates. I should have done it when you first arrived, but I was more concerned about your knee and how you would react to the news of shifters. I was also coming to terms with you being my mate.”

“I think I’ve done very well. Now what transitions?”

“My persistent mate.” Before he could tell her of the transitions, his cell phone vibrated on the nightstand.

Grabbing it, he saw it was a text message from Ty.

He’s ten minutes out. Felix and Marcus are bringing Tabitha there. Meet me at heliport, five minutes.

“He?” she asked, looking at the phone screen.

“Tabitha will explain the transitions when she gets here.
