“I tried,” I confessed.

“Oh shit! That’s why she screamed?”

“Yeah.”

“Uh. . .” Tucker couldn’t seem to find any words and just burst out laughing.

The others joined him.

Michael scowled. “Is this going to be a problem for us here?”

“Maybe. I don’t know. She said she’s promised to another.”

“Shit. What have you gotten us into this time?”

“She’s my true mate.”

“How sure are you about that?”

“I’d stake my life on it. She is mine. You all know what that means and you know how I feel about my true mate.”

“Did you catch her name?”

“No.”

I didn’t tell them I’d been too busy kissing her and trying to mark her as mine.

“Well, what can you tell us about her?”

“She’s beautiful. The most gorgeous woman in the world.”

“Dude, every male thinks that about his female,” Colin explained.

“Give me something to go on here,” Michael said.

“I don’t know. She has brown hair and brown eyes. And she’s about this tall,” I said, holding my hand about shoulder height to me.

“That’s it? You were just going to claim her without even exchanging names or phone numbers?” Colin asked.

“Yeah,” I admitted. That had been my plan. I figured the rest would work itself out as we went.

I growled. Were they trying to keep me from her?

No one could come between us. Whoever this other guy was, I'd challenge him like the wolves did and I'd battle to the death for her.

He could never beat me. And he couldn't have my mate.

“Oh shit. We need to get him out of here right now,” Michael said. “Get him back to the plane.”

I growled again.

“My mate is here, and I’m not going anywhere without her.”

“I think he’s serious, boss,” Linc said.

“This is definitely going to be a problem.”

“Maybe it’s all those repressed feelings,” Tucker teased.
