clump of pancake batter that she had removed. “You have really beautiful hair. It’s so golden and shiny.”
    “Thank you.” Mitch felt his lion shift like he was preening for their mate. Tessa had no idea how much she was stoking his lion’s ego. His mane was his lion’s pride and joy, and to have her compliment it made his lion want to lick her from head to toe and purr. Mitch and his lion were on the same page with the licking part.
    Tessa seemed in no hurry to get up and laid her head back on Mitch’s chest. The sun was shining perfectly through the window, warming them, and he yawned. It seemed that Nico wasn’t the only one that could use a nap. He wrapped his arms tighter around Tessa and slid down so that he was comfortable and closed his eyes. He decided that he would take a short nap and then he would let Tessa know exactly how he planned on protecting her and Nico. That was going to be the easy part. The hard part was going to be figuring out how to tell her he wasn’t completely human and that she belonged to him. At that moment though, just having her in his arms with her sweet scent was enough.

Chapter 4
     
    Mitch woke from his nap to the sound of giggling and decided that he would like to wake up to the sound every day. He looked out the window and saw Nico running across the front lawn with Tessa chasing after him. She caught the cub and spun him around in the air before sitting him back down only to do it all over again. Mitch walked out on the porch and watched them for a few minutes. He wanted to join in the chase, but for completely different reasons. He imagined his mate naked running through the woods and him chasing her down. Once he caught her, he would claim her right then and there. His lion roared in approval at the thought, but Mitch held back. It’s too soon, and we have Nico to think about. We can’t do that in front of the cub. Soon though. Mitch was going to have Tessa under him as soon as he could convince her.
    In the meantime, he needed to make a few calls. With one last look at his mate and cub, Mitch headed to his office. After what Tessa told him and the reports he had read the night before, there was no doubt in his mind they were dealing with a rogue. That was an easy problem to fix. All Mitch had to do was wait for the rogue to track Tessa to his home and then take him out, problem solved.
    What Mitch was going to have a hard time with was figuring out how deep the rogue problem ran and if there was a deeper conspiracy going on. His gut told him yes. Something wasn’t right, and he needed to look into it before the problem got worse and they were all exposed to the world. He was going to need help, so he called the only three enforcers he trusted with his life on a secure line. Once he had them all conference in, he began.
    “Okay, Ben, Ryan, Ken, first off thanks for taking my call. I’ll start off by saying that what I’m about to tell you stays between the four of us until we can figure out what’s going on.” After a chorus of agreements, he continued, “This involves my mate—”
    Mitch was cut off when all three guys congratulated him. Once they had finished, he explained what happened to Tessa and how she had come to be in his home. He then explained all the evidence he pulled up about numerous rogue incidents that went unreported to the council. Once he had hung up from the detective last night, Mitch had called a few other contacts all over the country, and the information he gathered had been shocking. Chicago hadn’t been the only city with increased rogue attacks. They were happening all over the country, and somehow, the reports were slipping through the cracks. One or two attacks could have been written off, but hundreds in such a widespread area was dangerous to all their kind.
    Rogues were shifters that had let their animal side take over and had gone feral. There was very little human left in them, turning them into the predators they had lurking
