Chapter Eight

His mate was in danger. Always. What the hell did that mean? He hadn’t pushed her to tell him more, because even though he’d claimed her, she hadn’t fully committed to him yet. He was afraid if he pushed too hard, she would run. Just because she’d admitted to him that she was in danger, didn’t mean she was willing to tell him everything. Or to accept him in her life. She’d called him her mate, but that didn’t mean anything without her mate mark securing their bond. He frowned as he wondered how she would mark him. He still had no idea what kind of shifter she was.

Zev sighed, taking a sip of the strong coffee he’d made while waiting for the Enforcer Colton was sending to take Nelly home. Bastard better be someone they could trust, or he’d answer to him. He wasn’t allowing the young woman to leave with anyone he didn’t think could protect her and get her home safely.

Zev frowned, looking down into the dark brew. Karma had been right when she’d said he was a true alpha. He easily could have taken over his pride if he wanted to, but he hadn’t challenged Luther for the position. He was a liger. Not a lion, not a tiger, but a mix of the two. A pride of lions didn’t want someone like him leading them. Some of the older pride members hadn’t liked it when his father took his mother as a mate. They didn’t care for the idea of their species mingling with each other. Whatever. He didn’t give a shit what species his Karma was. She could be a damn lizard for all he cared. He frowned, his gaze going over to where Karma sat with Nelly. Were there even lizard shifters out there?

“What is it, Zev?”

His eyes met his mate’s, and he felt his cheeks flush slightly. Shrugging, he turned back around to look out the window.

“Zevyn?”

He stiffened, slowly turning to face her. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Nelly go into the bathroom and shut the door, probably to give them privacy. “Yeah?”

“Talk to me.”

He shrugged, his gaze going over her shoulder to rest on a picture hanging on the wall. “I was just thinking.”

Karma surprised him when she walked over and slid an arm around his waist, moving in close and tilting her head up to meet his gaze. “About?”

He sighed, leaning down to place a kiss on her forehead. “You said once that you thought I was a true alpha, and you were right. I easily could have bested Luther and taken over as alpha of our pride.”

“Why didn’t you?” Karma asked, one of her hands going to rest lightly on his chest.

“My father was a lion, my mother a tigress. There are those in the pride who were against our parents getting together. They didn’t like the idea of the two species mixing.” He took another sip of the hot coffee and then set it down on the table next to them.
