Mate.
How could I have been so stupid? I’d missed that the hot little nurse was my mate. Four months ago, I’d had my mate in my arms, my d**k deep in her p***y, and I’d had no idea. That was one for the shifter record books.
Fuck! A growl rumbled from my chest as I drove out of town.
My nose had been freshly broken the night she and I hooked up at Cody’s, and I hadn’t been able to smell, but still—shouldn’t I have known?
Yeah, I’d been attracted to her from across the room, but so had lots of other guys. Including the one who’d punched me.
Prickles ran all down my arms, across the back of my neck thinking about it. Becky was my mate, and she’d been alone, unprotected while I’d been away. I hadn’t even had any of the other pack members watching out for her. Nothing from me.
