CHAPTER ONE

ZION BENNETT

Agrowl pushed from my chest as I raced toward the clearing. She was close. After three months, I’d found her.

Mine.

My mate.

I sneered as I rushed through the clearing, fully prepared to attack.

His eyes glowed red and he leapt from his back, shifting mid-air as he came for me. An Alpha but I didn’t fucking care. Our wolves were equally matched but this was a battle he wouldn’t win.

What the fuck are you doing?

I swung my head to the right briskly, just in time to see Keerah shift, but was knocked onto my side when the Alpha lunged at me.

He pinned me down and another growl roared from my chest when I summoned the strength to roll us both enough to get the advantage and sink my teeth into his neck.

Let him go now…Keerah sneered seconds before I felt a sharp burn at my side.

She fucking clawed me, defending him.

The Alpha managed to break free and lifted onto all fours, shaking away the effects of my attack. Keerah neared him. The two bared their teeth standing side by side. United.

You’re defending him?

Of course I’m defending him. He’s my Alpha?

You’re my mate.

You’re mate?She laughed.I don’t even know who you are.

Anger flooded my veins. I swung my head away from Keerah and the Alpha when I sensed we were no longer alone. Four other wolves descended from the darkened tree line of the forest. I noticed the orange glow of their eyes before their shadowy figures became clear and into view.

I was strong but they would have the advantage. She was mine which meant I would fight to the death if that was required.

I am not yours. Don’t be stupid.

I growled again when she spoke.

Keerah, do you know him? Are you claimed by this wolf?

Claimed? Hell no and I have no clue who he is.

Her glowing orbs were on me.

You know me, mate.

I edged forward, rolled my neck, and shifted. Slowly, I extended to my full height, locking my arms securely over my chest. Even stark naked and in the presence of these wolves, my stance was dominant but there was no reason I wouldn’t be.

Zion?

Keerah shifted seconds later and a frown marred her pretty face. My eyes traveled the length of her body and tension tightened in my muscles. She was fully exposed, but didn’t seem to care.

“Why are you here? Did Xander send you?”

“No, he has no reason to send me after you. You’remine…”
