Chapter nine

“Are you shitting me?” Rebecca slapped her palms down onto the counter and pushed backwards, as if that was going to unsay everything, undo what had been done.

“Nope.” Janice bit down on her lower lip and grimaced.

“I’m…” Rebecca pointed to her chest.

“Yep.” Janice narrowed her eyes on her.

“That’s…” Rebecca swallowed down a good portion of her tongue.

“Isn’t it though?” Janice agreed.

Rebecca balked at the thoughts that shot through her mind on an endless loop of shock and comprehension.

A mate.

Chance’s mate…

“I can’t… Is he sure?” Rebecca scrunched up her face.

“Oh yeah.” Janice chuckled to herself. “Kind of kicks you right in the backside, doesn’t it?”

“That’s one way to put… How can he be sure?”

“Lots of ways. Your scent is a big one. How he feels when he touches you, sees you… the fact that he and his bear are so protective of you and Darby…”

“Darby!” Rebecca exclaimed. “But she’s not his…”

“No, but she’s a part of you.” Janice shrugged again. “I guess that’s how it works.”

Rebecca pulled back and turned away. Her mind was racing and she lifted her hand and ran it through her hair, stopping in mid-thought, before she dropped her hand back to the side and turned back towards Janice.

“So he doesn’t want to hurt me, he wants to mate with me?”

“Pretty much.”

“So why does he think that he’ll hurt me?” This wasn’t adding up. It wasn’t making sense.

“When Shane, the one outside the door, mated his human mate, he bit her and turned her into a shifter.” Janice explained, but the way that Rebecca’s eyes went wide, almost bursting out on stalks like some crazed cartoon character, Janice thought she maybe should have left that explanation out.

“She’s a bear?” Rebecca looked more than shocked. She was having a hard time getting her head around any of this.

“Yeah, but she’s still a good person.” Janice snorted a little chuckle and Rebecca did a double take.

“So when you mated Marcus…”

“He didn’t bite me.” Janice shook her head. “But I guess he still could.”

“Really?” Rebecca pulled her head back on her neck and Janice shrugged.

“It kind of goes with the whole mate territory thing.”

“And you’re ok with that?” Rebecca shook her head in disbelief.

“I’d be pissed.” Janice admitted. “But, you know. I love Marcus. Being a bear wouldn’t be the end of the world…”

“Ha!” Rebecca cleared her throat.

“He’s my mate. My fated other. I figure that if fate went to all that trouble, who am I to deny him?”

“That’s… so not…” Rebecca stalked towards the kitchen table, yanked out a chair, and plopped her backside down onto it. “Wow.” She looked wrung out.

“I haven’t known Chance long, but I’ve never seen him able to control himself the way he does when he’s around you or Darby.” Janice offered.

“I quiet his bear, his bad side?” Rebecca asked and Janice nodded.

“And then some.”

“I don’t know what to do with that, with any of that…” Rebecca waved an absent hand. Janice nodded.

“It’s food for thought.”

“It’s…”Rebecca blew out a hard breath. “It’s…” she shrugged.
