“So talk.”

“Okay, so you know back in Campbell when we got separated?”

“Yeah. . .”

“I sorta met someone.”

“Okay, and. . .”

“He's my true mate.”

Her eyes grew so large I thought they may just pop right out of their sockets.

“You did what?”

“Calm down and don't talk so loud.”

“There's no one else in this wing to hear us.”

“I know, I just need this to be kept quiet. A secret.”

“So you won't be mating Aiden then, right? Right, Tilly?” she asked when I didn't respond right away.

“I don't know.”

“You said you weren't alone here. Did that stalker follow you back here?”

“Sorta, but it's not like that at all.”

“Then what the hell is it like?”

“He's my true mate.”

“You said that already, but who the hell is he?”

“He's a member of Westin Force Delta. They're here helping my father.”

“I know. We met then in Campbell. They came in to help with the search for Chelle.”

“Yeah. I know.”

She nodded as I waited for it to sink in.

Kayla gasped. “One of those fellas is your mate?”

“Apparently.”

“Tilly, that's like hitting the jackpot. Every single one of them is hot!”

“I guess.”

“Don’t tell me you aren't attracted to your one true mate.”

I rolled my eyes. “He's the sexiest man I've ever met. I can't even describe how he makes me feel. And he makes my toes curl with just a kiss, Kayla.”

She squealed. “I have never heard you talk like this before about a guy.”

“He's not just any guy. He'stheguy.”
