Roxy’s bar is the only food and drink joint in our little village, and while it’s far from a fine dining establishment, the food is decent, the vibe is relaxed, and most of all it’s exclusive to our pack and visiting shifters so everyone can let their guard down.

Roxy’s uncle, Cade, is one of our non-council alphas. He helps her with the place and watches the door for outsiders.

When I cross the threshold, his eyes hit me as he’s wiping down an unoccupied table. He smiles wide.

“Congrats, Mase.” He strides over to slap my back and then greets Grey with a fist bump. The place is buzzing with a nearly full-house, music and laughter and despite that there are a fair number of bodies in the place, immediately my nose and my eyes find my mate.

And plenty of other eyes are on her, too. I’m wondering if part of the reason why Roxy’s is so busy tonight is because word’s gotten around that Amelia is here. Folks would be curious.

She’s smiling wide, standing in front of the dartboard. She playfully punches Jase’s arm, and he throws his head back and laughs uproariously. She’s gloating over her win against him. My immediate reaction to this is a pang of ugliness.

Her smile is aimed at him. Her laughter is in the air, and she doesn’t know I’m here. Jase is obviously drunk. So is Linc, who stands to the side with a goofy grin, also aimed at my mate.

Mine.

Jason Creed would never lay a finger on what’s mine, but that doesn’t change the jealousy rising in me. While she’s laughing and joking with him, my father is in the vicinity, sitting at the bar, eyes on her and a smile on his face. I know he’s already clocked me, but when Dad looks my way, he jerks his chin up in greeting, and I know he reads me. His facial expression changes to one I know, one that tells me things are all right. Of course they are; Dad has had his eyes on Amelia in my absence and this is my pack, my people. But still… that my woman is giving positive attention to anyone but me stings.

This is why we need time. Quiet, private, uninterrupted time to bond with one another. So that I can then let her bond with the rest of her new pack without feeling like this – like they’re taking something of mine.

My mother sits with Bailey at a table near the darts area and Cicely is talking to Roxy who stands in front of the bar, one hand on her waist, the other hand holding an empty tray. Roxy’s eyes are on me. I catch the sadness in them briefly before she paints on a smile and looks back to Cicely.

Roxy was my first. I was hers. I was fourteen and she was sixteen. It was a sweltering hot summer night by the shoreline near the falls that started with skinny dipping and ended with losing our virginity.
