Tall. Still no.

That one has nice, uh, assets.Again, no.

For the next hour, it was more of the same. Women passed them by, some smiling with blatant invitation, but the pair did not even have to try to resist.

No.

Nope.

Not theirs.

Not even close.

Just when Brody was ready to toss in the towel, all his senses went on alert. He went completely still. His Wolf pressed against his skin, the enormous beast growling low in his belly.

Brody slapped Mayne on the shoulder. He did not even have to turn to guess where the male was standing. He just knew something momentous was happening, and he needed his Omega with him. He narrowed his eyes as his stomach flipped and his heart thudded like a runaway train inside his chest. The low, slow growl that built up inside escaped his lips, alerting the other man to the female who’d just walked into theMoongate Tiki Lounge.

His Wolf snarled and snapped his teeth inside of his mind’s eye. Brody’s entire body shook with need. Something was happening. Something he’d thought he was prepared for. Sometimes reality was a hell of a lot more intense than the idea.

Mine.

His mate was somewhere close by.

“Do you see her?” Brody’s voice was thick and full of his beast. So much so, he hardly understood himself.

“The blonde?” Mayne asked. The Bear Shifter was doing his own growling and trembling. Need, lust, and intense desire flowed between their bond. Not for each other, but for her.

Only her.

“Yesss,” he hissed in reply.

His best friend’s chest reverberated with the force of his growl. It seemed the Black Bear Shifter was struck by something about her as well. His friend’s pulse raced. Through their link, Brody could feel the beast inside of Mayne wrestling for control.

Fuck yes.

This was it.

They had found their mate.

“Beautiful,” his friend growled.

Eyes fixated on where the petite blonde stood, Brody felt his Wolf’s agreement. The animal was ready and raring to go. He took his time noting the bountiful curves that filled her tempting body.

So perfect.

So lush.

She would mold to his and Mayne’s muscled frames beautifully.

Her hair was bright and golden-white, like a halo, highlighting the effervescent glow of her skin. He could make out blue eyes, like sparkling gems, glittering at him from across the dimly lit space.

True, they were mostly outdoors, and the full moon shone brightly, but it was night. And night was dark even on Moongate Island. His Alpha Wolf pressed him to move forward. The beast needed no more prompting, and he didn’t do patience all that well either. The female was theirs. He could feel it down to his marrow.

Lucky us, he thought with a grin. What were the odds they would run into their mate on the very first gathering of available females put together by the Council of Triads?

“Mine,” Mayne grunted in a deep voice thick with his Black Bear.

“Ours,” Brody corrected, checking the female’s wrist for the bracelet that proclaimed her fair game.
