“Oh, I will.”
“One sec, Carina wants you.”
“Doug?” Her voice sounds clear over the phone.
“Yeah?”
“You fuck this up and my Bear will make me a nice Wolf rug out of you, you got that?”
“Yes, ma’am. I won’t fuck this up.”
I hang up, grinning despite myself.
Nerves tingling up and down my spine because, as much as I don’t want to fuck this up, I can’t know for sure if Dina will be receptive. I can only hope.
Please, Fates, if you’re listening, I can use a hand. I promise not to mess up this time.
And I mean it.
I fucking mean it.
Because yeah, I know exactly what Dina means to me now.
She’s not temporary.
Not just a girl I fell into bed with.
Not even just my mate because some damn app said so.
She’s everything.
And Friday?
Friday I’m going to knock her socks off.
And maybe her panties, too, if things go my way.
I’m going full on Wolf for this.
No more holding back.
Hunter mode activated.
I’ll get down on my knees in front of the whole damn Pack, my pride, and whoever else wants to witness it, with my heart in my hands and my throat bared if that’s what it takes.
Mine, my Wolf growls deep inside me, practically vibrating with the need to get this done.
But first?
I need to finish some other business.
Specifically, with one very pissed Witch and her cheating husband.
Closure.
No loose ends.
I shower like a man preparing for war—or maybe a mating ceremony.
