Knox gave Harper one last hug and a kiss at the doorway of her room at the lodge. He had been able to talk Levi, the owner of the lodge, into giving her a place to stay, free of charge, with only a few words. He gave her hand one last squeeze and opened the door.

“Everything is going to be okay, Harper. We may not be able to see each other publicly for a while, but I want you to know, no matter what, I’m on your side.”

“I know,” she said.

She shut the door and he turned to walk down the hall. As he entered the elevator, his heart sank. He wished more than anything that he had claimed her the night before. Then he would know everything in her heart. He already felt he knew her. The grizzly inside his mind certainly felt they were as one.

But even the grizzly knew that he and Harper were not yet fully mated. He had to claim her to establish the bond. And without the bond, he could not take his evidence to Rollo to prove her innocence.

Rollo was a shifter, and shifters had a code. Mates were as one. And that meant Knox’s testimony about Harper’s innocence would go a long way with Rollo. But without the mate bond, he knew that Harper would be embroiled in a full investigation. It wrenched his heart that he would have to stay away from her until the case was closed.

He came out into the lobby of the lodge and found Maisie’s mother, Kelly Green, at the front counter. Kelly smiled and waved at Knox, having booked Harper’s room for her before they’d arrived. The woman had always been helpful to the shifters of Fate Mountain.

He walked out the big doors of the lodge and down the path toward the parking lot. His feet crunched over the ice and snow. Christmas was in just a few weeks and everyone was getting ready for the big event at the lodge. At least he knew Harper would be in a warm and happy place.

When he arrived at the police station, and walked past the throng of protesters that had arrived out of nowhere that morning, Rollo immediately called him into his office. None of the other Bear Patrol bears were there.

Rollo motioned for Knox to have a seat and Knox took it, knowing what his old friend and alpha was going to say before Rollo even said it.

“I had to take her home,” Knox said. “She’s my mate. If you need to talk to her, she’s staying in a room at the lodge. You should’ve seen the condition she was living in, Rollo. No way I could leave my mate at a time like this.”

“We’re getting a warrant to search her premises now. Hers were the only prints on the murder weapon. And she was found at the scene. Right now, she’s a prime suspect. I can’t have you fraternizing with her. You’ve seen those protesters outside.
