members of the pack, and they’d quickly become a team. Doing jobs together. Hanging out. Even chasing after girls together. He’d been attracted to Jack from the beginning, but it had never been a pressing desire. That wasn’t why he’d been so shattered by the revelation that Jack had taken a mate. It was that they’d been partners. He’d trusted Jack more than he’d ever trusted anyone, more than he’d trusted his own family. Jack was the one who anchored him to the rest of the pack. And suddenly he was adrift again.
    Lost and alone.
    That wasn’t Jack’s fault any more than it was Maggie’s. It was his own problem for being too weak to stand on his own two feet.
    Did he want Maggie? Hell yes.
    He wanted nothing more right now than to bury his face between her luscious breasts and sink balls deep into the hot little pussy he could feel through the layer of cotton separating them. He wanted her. But that was the heat. That was their wolves sensing a compatibility their human halves might never come to terms with. He couldn’t promise his undying love. She deserved the truth, even though it meant she’d probably turn him away.
    “I want to stay with the pack.”
    The year after he’d left his pack had been hell. He’d almost given up on it all, gone feral, before he’d found this place. Before Jack had found him and brought him home. He didn’t want to leave.
    He waited for Maggie to recoil. For her soft expression to harden and for her to tell him to go to hell. When he started to straighten, she caught his hand.
    “I claim you, Carson.”
    He froze, shocked. “What?”
    “I don’t want you to lose your pack.”
    She was claiming him even though he’d been nothing but a dick to her today.
    He swallowed past the lump in his throat and reached for the words that every shifter learned when they came of age. He’d never thought he’d get the chance to say them. He’d never thought he’d want to.
    “I claim you as my mate.” His voice came out as a hoarse whisper. Was he really doing this? He was doing this. “Man to woman and wolf to wolf, you are mine as I am yours. My body I give to your protection and pleasure. My life to your service. My seed to our future. We are pack.”
    He felt the tug of the bond as it hooked in his heart. Suddenly he could feel Maggie, the essence of who she was, along with her wolf. She was scared too, worried that she was making a terrible decision. She was uncertain of her appeal, and she didn’t entirely trust the instincts of the animal living inside her. And…she was sweet and brave and—Oh, God— she was doing this for him . She’d seen the pain in him when he’d talked about leaving his old pack. There was a deep hurt in her that echoed that pain, and that was what had won her over.
    Through the link, he could also sense her ties to the rest of the pack. Before, they’d been bound only by a common agreement to live together as a pack. A brotherhood. But the mating bond didn’t only bind him to Maggie, it also bound him to Case, Eli and Jack.
    His pack. Forever.
    Maggie reached for him, and with a growl he lifted her from the stool. The stool was sturdy enough to perch on while drinking a beer or two, but it’d never hold up to the things he wanted to do to Maggie. He turned and settled her on the edge of the pool table. Not wasting any time, still half-afraid she’d change her mind, he grabbed the waistband of her pants and pulled them down. She started to lift her shirt and he hurried her along, slipping his thumbs under the hem and pushing it up and over her head.
    The slopes and curves of her body cushioned him as he pressed against her. An embrace soft as water and hot as sin. The dark hair between her legs was a stark contrast to her milk white skin. Her nipples were a blushing pink, erect, and set atop the most delectable breasts he’d ever seen in his life. He couldn’t resist scooping her breasts into his hands. She moaned as he tested their
