Keeley

Thank God I’m not Lance’s mate.

After the initial shock—well, who wouldn’t be shocked, to discover that something like soulmates actually existed?—Keeley had felt sick with relief.

Of everything she’d found out about the shifter world so far, this whole “mate” idea was the most terrifying. Sure, it had been awkward when Lance’s friends had gotten the wrong end of the stick, but that was better than the alternative.

Because seriously—her, Lance’s mate? This gorgeous, brave, kind, and incredibly sexy man, chained to someone like her?

No. The universe wouldn’t let something like that happen. Not to someone as good as him.

Night was falling by the time Lance’s friends left. Keeley wrapped Maggie around her shoulders and helped everyone gather up coats and bags.

Maggie had been awake all day and was getting crotchety. She snapped and grizzled until Chloe had the bright idea of swaddling her in her scarf, with the necklace, Lance’s watch, and—after some more grizzling—Keeley’s gold-ish studs wrapped up in the fabric with her. Maggie’s grizzles softened to the occasional hiss, and by the time their guests had left, she was fast asleep.

Keeley leaned against the wall as Lance reset the security system, pretending to coo over the sleeping dragonling. In reality, she was memorizing the code on the door lock.

Her shoulders slumped. Today had been… nice. But she had to get real. The longer she was here, the higher the risk that someone would find her out.

She’d followed all of Lance’s plans as he talked them over with his friends. Tomorrow, the other two eggs would be brought back to the agency and then flown direct to the safehouse where Maggie’s uncle was staying.

And as soon as Maggie was back with her family, Keeley would quietly slip away, and Lance and his friends would carry on with their lives as though she’d never existed. Irina and Grant would have their maybe-shifter baby. Chloe would… well, Chloe would probably set up camp wherever Maggie was, because it was obvious she was besotted with the tiny dragonling. And Mathis would follow her, because it was equally obvious that he’d go to the ends of the Earth for her, let alone be neighbors with a family of dragon shifters.

And Lance would—would…

Find his real mate, and settle down with her, and have a thousand adorable snow leopard shifter babies, probably.

She winced as something pulled in her chest. “Ow.”

“Is everything all right?” Lance was suddenly at her side, steadying her with a hand at her waist.

“Just a cramp,” Keeley replied quickly, stepping away from Lance’s comforting embrace.

Lance stilled and pulled his hand back. She had to be imagining the look of disappointment that flashed behind his eyes, didn’t she?

“Maggie’s asleep,” she said, keeping her gaze on the snoozing bundle. “I think she enjoyed meeting your friends, though. Or she enjoyed getting more loot off them.”

Lance chuckled. “Grant barely got away with his wedding ring intact. I’ll have to issue a warning to the office tomorrow for everyone to leave their jewelry at home.”

“Tomorrow’s gonna be a big day.
