While that fleeting opportunity to touch Sara had been exactly that, the effects hit me ten-fold in the days that followed.

I wanted to divulge in the pleasure I had known briefly, and not feeling it again made my whole system rigid and agitated.

That genuine frustration came out as I lifted one of the heavier dumbbells the pack gym offered like it was the one thing capable of bringing me relief. My muscles tensed beneath it, but my internal pacing wolf lent me the strength I needed to push through.

As Rowan finished up on one of the other machines, I could feel his eyes on me.

“Training for something I don’t know about?”

I heaved out a breath and pushed through another rep. “Nothing in particular.”

Even if he was my alpha, it didn’t stop my snark from gleaning through. I knew I sounded like I was teetering on the edge of throwing a wolf-sized tantrum, but I couldn’t help it. I was deeply unsettled, and not having Sara was getting the better of me.

It made me wonder when that change started to happen. When I started needed Sara to the point of nearly losing my mind.

But Rowan only chuckled. That was a perk of being the alpha’s best friend. “Is this about Sara?”

Even hearing her name leave his mouth irritated me. It was unlike me, and I knew that.

Not trusting what my wolf might have to say, I reigned it in and threw him a scalding look instead. It was all the confirmation he needed.

He cocked a brow at me and wiped the sweat from his face. “Is she really that irritating to you?”

I clenched my jaw and hung the dumbbell back on the stand. Reaching for my towel, I tried to catch my breath. Subtle embarrassment ebbed into my chest. “The opposite.”

Silent surprise coursed through Rowan at once, then he seemed to take a more serious approach. “What’s going on?”

Sighing, it felt impossible to even say. But I couldn’t leave him hanging.

“There’s been a turn of events … Sara and I hooked up after that night at the Roadbar, and she agreed to put on a charade with me to convince my mom I didn’t need her to matchmake for me. Things have gotten out of control since then, and I’m itching to be near her. It’s driving me insane.”

Suspicion filled Rowan’s gaze as he leaned forward. “You’re feeling worked up … like you could fight anyone that looks at you or mentions her?”

Ashamed to admit I could feel my control over my wolf waning, I nodded anyway. “I’ve been restraining myself all day. All week, even.”

“That’s what happens when someone finds their mate, which gets worse when they give in to the connection. Griff, she might be your mate.”

Those words stunned me. I couldn’t even find the words to say.

While it was shocking to hear someone else say, at least a part of me had that inclination before. I had heard from other shifters just how feral it made them to not only be around their mate for the first time but to consummate that bond.
