Hot and chivalrous. I’d hit the jackpot in the mate lottery.
I was happy to sit beside him as his hand held mine and his thumb rubbed my palm during the quick drive to my house. Pulling into the driveway, it dawned on me that this wouldn’t be my home anymore.
“Where do you live? Is it far from here?”
“It’s about a four-hour drive. A little town called Bear Creek.”
I laughed lightly at the name and the reminder of something else we hadn’t discussed. “So, I was right? Your animal is a bear?”
“Yeah,” he confirmed. “And you’re a wolf?”
“All my life,” I joked, starting to feel uncomfortable at the idea of introducing my dad to my mate when I only knew a few things about him: his first name, that he was a bear who lived in Bear Creek, and what it felt like to have him deep inside me. But I guess it was too late to be worried since he was already out of the truck and opening my door to help me out. He clasped my hand in his and walked me up the stairs.
“My dad should be inside meeting with the alpha,” he told me as he lifted his hand to knock.
“Don’t worry, I know where they’ll be,” I offered, opening the door and walking back to my dad’s office. I hesitated when we got there, though. “Daddy doesn’t like me to interrupt him when he’s busy in his office.”
Alasdair’s head cocked to the side and his mouth turned down at the corner when I looked up at him. His eyes held none of the warmth from earlier as he raised his hand to knock lightly on the door.
“But my dad is expecting me to join him in there,” he replied before gripping my hand and pulling me into the office with him.
Daddy was standing behind his desk, his arms crossed over his chest and his face carved from stone. When he noticed me standing next to Alasdair, surprise filtered through his eyes and his expression softened before he breathed deeply and schooled his features once more. In that instant, I knew he realized I had mated with Alasdair and he wasn’t happy about it.
The man sitting across from my father looked so much like Alasdair, only older and a little bigger. “Took you long enough to get here. I thought you were going to be quick,” he said as he leveled a glare at my new mate. His eyes flicked down to me questioningly and back up again. “Found a friend along the way? Now hardly seems like the time or place for that.”
“Not a friend,” I corrected softly, gulping when his glare turned my way, “his mate.”
“Fuck!”
I swiveled around at the hissed swear and found another man leaning against the wall.
“Ohmigosh!” I gasped in surprise. He looked exactly like Alasdair, but I didn’t feel the same pull toward him.
“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me,” he said as he raked his eyes up and down my body. “You mated the alpha’s ‘little princess’?”
I didn’t have a chance to object to the nickname I hated—one I had only been able to shake off within the last few months as my packmates finally started to look at me with respect.
“Shut the fuck up, Camden,” Alasdair growled. “I really don’t need your shit right now.”
“Your brother’s right, Camden. It appears things have gotten a little more complicated than we anticipated. I think it would be best if you waited for us outside.”
“She might be little, but this is one helluva big complication,” Camden muttered as he left my dad’s office.
“I don’t understand,” I murmured, looking up at Alasdair. “Why would you and I mating be a problem?”
“Sit down, princess,” he replied, only this time when he called me princess, it didn’t hold the same warmth as it had back at Honor House.
Things were starting to add up in my brain and I didn’t like it one bit. Bears were in town on “family business” and my mate’s first stop was Annora’s old house. Nobody was happy to see Alasdair and I were fated mates. Apparently, their business in town wasn’t going to smooth things over the way I thought it would.
