lead us to the site, ma’am,” Hunter told her quickly, his irritation difficult to mask.
    Clay nodded at Hunter and quickly took his place beside him. He was just as annoyed with the woman as his triad partner was.
    The young woman began walking toward the backyard of her home, leading the men toward the trees that bordered her property. They both noticed the definite sway of her backside and the sly smiles that she gave them. Hunter’s growl began from deep within his chest. He heard the same sounds coming from his partner and knew Clay was feeling the same frustration that he was.
    Clay was barely controlling his wolf. The anger that was coursing through him was about to snap his control. He could feel the urging of his wolf to take over his human side. He couldn’t believe this woman was actually trying to flirt with them without thought to the man, woman, or child, who was very probably hurt and possibly dying or dead.
    Both men saw the small figure lying against some downed logs at the same time. Their protective instincts kicked in, and they both began to run toward the body, their powerful legs eating up the distance quickly and leaving Talia Sherman far behind.
    They dropped to their knees beside the huddled form, realizing immediately that it was an adult female. They both reached out at the same time to touch her gently.
    Hunter placed his fingers against her neck to search for her pulse, thankful when he felt the weak thrumming of her heartbeat beneath his fingertips. He took in a breath of relief and froze, his eyes flashing to Clay immediately as the most delicious scent he had ever smelled filled him.
    “Clay,” he barely whispered.
    Clay scented the delectable aroma at the exact same moment. Surprise filled him, quickly changing to complete happiness as he realized the miracle that lay before them. Seeing the way Hunter’s eyes had changed from his normal brown color to completely golden as his wolf fought for release, he fought to control his own wolf as his attention flashed to the woman who lay on the ground between them. He inhaled deeply, feeling his wolf growling possessively as it recognized their woman.
    “Mate,” Clay growled, reaching out to gather the woman into his arms as gently as he could.
    “Mate,” Hunter agreed, leaning forward and resting his forehead against the woman’s soft cheek.
    “What’s up, officers?” Talia’s voice intruded on their discovery.
    “Go back to the road and wait for the ambulance,” Hunter ordered. “We’ll bring her as soon as we can.”
    “Oh, sugar, you should just let her stay here and let the EMTs do their job,” Talia told them with a lightness that showed them just how little she cared about the situation or the woman who was in their arms.
    “She’s ours to protect,” Clay snapped, turning to face the woman, a low growl erupting from his chest as his wolf demanded the protection of their mate. He was in complete agreement with his wolf. “Go and wait for the ambulance, ma’am.”
    Clay watched with disgust as Talia Sherman stepped back and looked at both of them. The power that exuded from them probably scared her more than just a little bit. He was relieved when she finally turned and made her way back to her house to wait for the arriving ambulance.
    “Your loss, guys,” she called over her shoulder as she walked away.
    Hunter’s hand trembled as he reached up to push aside the black hood of the sweatshirt that their mate wore. Anger filled him and tugged at his wolf when he saw her beautiful face covered in dirt and blood.
    She moaned slightly as his hand touched her forehead and she turned toward him slowly. She opened her eyes and looked at him before turning to face Clay, the blue of her eyes glazed over with fever.
    “I’m so cold,” she whispered.
    Clay cuddled her closer against his body. His emotions were warring with each other. He loved that she was in his arms, but he worried that she was burning with
