So Nolan thought he could tame her by scrubbing bathrooms.

Later that afternoon, Jordan jogged along the path she’d known well, down to the barn and the stables. Her stomach knotted with tension. That little showdown in the store had turned her sunny day sour. She was good with the customers, knew the product. Hell, she’d even organized the damn closet!

Yet Nolan had yanked her from the bar and set her into the bathrooms to clean.

I’m not a maid.

She didn’t resent hard work. But busy work, for the sake of showing his pack he held no favoritism, that didn’t sit right.

Dread curled through her as she thought of the upcoming full moon run. As his mate, Nolan would expect her to run at his side. Maybe even shift in front of the pack. If she failed to do so, they’d see her vulnerability, perhaps exploit it. And Nolan, well, he didn’t know. It might make him look weak as well, taking a mate who struggled to shift.

Oh, she was fine in other places. On the road, she’d had no trouble shifting into wolf.

But here on the farm, it had always been difficult.

She hadn’t even shifted here since…that night. Tensing, she flexed her hands. Shirl and Erica taunted her. Were they the ones there that night and held her down, laughing as…

No! Don’t go there. Halting, she doubled over, gasping for air. After a few minutes she regained her lost composure.

If any of the pack saw her lose it, she was toast.

All these emotions made her yearn to pack her bags and flee again. Nolan’s father hadn’t believed her or stood up for her years ago. She wanted to have faith her mate would, but why would he?

She was stuck with Nolan, who might put his pack before her, and a pack who wasn’t certainly welcoming her back into the fold. Running away from the turbulent emotions swirling inside her wouldn’t solve anything.

That stunt yesterday because of Erica. Her former friend.

Yet she understood the dilemma Nolan faced with his pack, not wishing to show his new mate preferential treatment.

Footsteps crunched on the gravel. To her dismay, Shirl and Erica were coming up from the stable area. Guilt etched their expressions.

“Where are you going?” Erica demanded.

“None of your business. You now the pack police, monitoring my moves?”

“There are rules you need to follow, Jordan. You don’t get special exemption simply because you’re mated to Nolan now. You can’t wander around as you please,” Shirl put in.

“You two are.”

They exchanged glances. Ok, this was interesting. “Where have you been, anyway? Aren’t you supposed to be working at the winery since you’re so terrific at pouring at the bar?”

Red suffused Erica’s face, much to Jordan’s amusement. She’d heard that Galen had ordered Erica off the bar after a mere twenty minutes because she confused the customers.

“You’re not in charge of us,” Shirl snapped. “So shut up, Jordan.”

She considered. “Maybe Nolan should have grown a crop of marijuana in addition to grapes.”

Both women looked puzzled.

“Why?” Shirl blurted out.
