I’d never been the kind of guy who found himself connected to a woman beyond the initial physical chemistry. Some ex-girlfriends had told me I was emotionally unavailable, and I didn’t blame them. I was a workaholic who refused to settle down with a hot piece of ass, no matter how hot it was.

Now, I had suddenly been thrust into a relationship where I was connected to Liza in a way I couldn’t even describe. I wanted to protect her, take care of her, and make sure she never had to worry about a room full of shifters looking at her like that ever again.

Being the next in line for the title of alpha was a cumbersome load to bear, but the weight of it had lifted the first time I stared into her eyes. I’d assumed I would move forward with my fated mate, taking my rightful position as alpha and relieving my father of a position he should’ve stepped down from years ago but remained in because I was yet unmated.

Now, my mind was laden with our family’s dark secrets. My father’s confession had sent my thoughts into a tailspin, ultimately leading me to break things off with Liza, which hadn’t quite gone as planned.

After the coffee shop incident, I was conflicted. On the one hand, I needed to break things off with Liza to protect our family’s future. Dad had made it perfectly clear to what lengths he’d gone to in erasing our family’s past. No wonder he had looked like he’d seen a ghost when Liza and I spotted each other at the mating ceremony.

I’d been resolved to breaking things off with her—reject her as my mate—but her scent was irresistible. The need to claim her was overwhelming. Everything I had planned on saying to Liza had been forgotten. I couldn’t reject her.

Watching the other shifters catch wind of her pheromones had been like a scene out of a movie. It was an immediate reaction as their cocks hardened and their breaths quickened. I shuddered at the thought of what might have happened if I hadn’t gotten Liza to my car. It was something she’d need to protect herself against. Or I would.

Even more surprising than their reactions to Liza’s presence was the shock and confusion that had marred her beautiful face. When I’d asked her about it, she claimed that her hormone pills should have kept that from happening. It must not have been the first time her pheromones had caused men to react in that way.

I shook my head as I started my convertible. It was a gorgeous day, so I put the top down and let the fresh air fill my lungs. Maybe a little sun on the drive into work would help clear my mind. The elements of nature often calmed me, and since I couldn’t go for a run right now, this was going to have to do.

I pulled up in front of Bryce’s house at the usual time. Since we were business partners, we carpooled when the morning was filled with meetings.
