I sat in my office leaning back in my desk chair and trying to focus on the bills in front of me. Despite them being normal monthly expenses and despite having done the same thing every Saturday afternoon for years, I couldn’t focus past the first one. I couldn’t stop thinking about Fern. She was a conundrum—delicate, soft spoken, but strong as steel at the same time. She’d gone through almost every emotion last night, but she’d still managed to put on a pleasant face as she ate dinner across from me. Even though Kinsley had not let up all through dinner.

She was frazzled, that much was evident. Kinsley had done a good job of wearing her mother’s nerves thin, but it needed to stop. I understood what Fern had said about disciplining being her job, and I respected it. On the other hand, I was her mate and I was going to be in her and Kinsley’s lives, whether Kinsley liked it or not. I wasn’t going to step on Fern’s toes, and I wasn’t going to pretend to be Kinsley’s father, but the girl had to learn to treat her mother with respect. It drove my bear crazy to see how Kinsley treated our mate. Yet, he was fond of the child. We both were. After all, we had a connection to her as well. We needed to come up with a clever way to help.

First, I had to come up with a way to tell Fern that we were mates. I was almost hesitant to, though. She was stressed and exhausted from dealing with her daughter, and I wasn’t sure she even knew what mates were. How would she handle the news that I was going to be a permanent fixture in her life? It was a big change. I wanted to think she’d embrace it as a positive change. I knew it would be for me, but Fern had been alone with her daughter for a long time. Just how long, I wasn’t certain, but it was evidently a conscious choice. She was beautiful, hardworking, loving, and kind. If she hadn’t chosen to be single, she wouldn’t be. If she so much as snapped her fingers, men would line up for a chance to take her out.

I growled at the thought. All the emotions and instincts that come with finding a mate had kicked in full force for me. I was possessive and jealous. I didn’t like the idea of anyone else looking at her, much less touching her. I couldn’t wait for her to wear my scent—and my claiming mark. The fact that I’d made it to the office instead of following the strong urge I’d had to go straight over to her house that morning was a miracle. I needed to see her again. I’d had to leave her house the night before with just a chaste kiss on the cheek because Kinsley had planted herself on the couch, arms crossed, mean-mugging Fern and had refused to move.
