“Don’t bother. I’m not looking and even if I did, it wouldn’t be anything I wanted tosee.”
She sniffed, “Gee, thanksbuddy.”
His grin was sparkling when he laughed, “You’re my brother’s mate. My sister by fate. You’re also a member of my pack. You’re going to have to get used to the nudity thing if you’re going to shift with us going forward. This isnothing.”
“You think your brother is going to see it thatway?”
Michael’s smile faltered. Her chest ached and her wolf whined from her new place deep inside Zoey. His brother. Her mate. Rafe. She felt incomplete without him. Like her heart was missing from herchest.
“He didn’t want to change, Michael.” She whispered softly, “He was worried. He was… scared. He didn’t know how his wolf would react to me but all of this… the fighting and the blood? It was too much. I can feel him and he’s so far away and he’s panicked. I need to go afterhim.”
“You’re not going anywhere except inside to rest and heal from your first shift. I’m Pack Alpha and whatever happened tonight, it brought him back to me. He’s pack again and I can feel him too. I promised you I’d get him back and I will. You have to trust me,Zoey.”
“I do. I trust you. And I’ll stay here.” She met Michael’s eyes, the ones that looked so much like her mates, “Find him and bring him back tome.”
