surgery, if they were groupies there for the thrill of living dangerously. The
humans thought it was just a place to meet rich, handsome men in the Goth scene
and were interested in having sex with them in hopes of a fun time or a
benefactor. They weren’t aware they were volunteering to be late night snacks
for any vamp whose eye they caught.
    Jasmine was all his, perfect just the way she was, and he’d
make sure that didn’t change. He could protect her by keeping her hidden inside
his den. No way did he plan to expose her to the people he knew. His vamp
bosses were trustworthy but other vampires were pricks. They viewed humans as
the weaker species, only good for drinking and fucking. There were rules in
place to stop them from killing for either purpose but she’d view vamps as
monsters. He could relate. Sometimes he hated their cold indifference to anyone
they believed was inferior.
    He cringed when thinking about his pack. He’d never intended
to become their leader but they’d smelled the wolf inside him. Their alpha had
challenged him the moment he’d taken the job as head of security at the club,
refusing to take orders or back down. He’d had to kill the idiot when he’d
refused to submit.
    Some of the females in the pack aggressively pursued Chase.
He wasn’t interested, but Jasmine wouldn’t easily be accepted as his mate. He
could think of two bitches who would challenge her for the right of being at
his side. Not going to happen. He’d walk away from the pack, his job,
everything just to keep Jasmine safe.
    He and his sister would protect her if Arry ever gave away
the location of his secret den. It was doubtful it would happen. They had too
much in common, came from the same clan in Alaska, and while she was a pain in
the ass, he didn’t count her as a threat. She just annoyed him by believing they
should settle for each other as mates. He’d set her straight.
    Jasmine stirred on his chest and raised her chin.
Uncertainty shone in her direct stare. He easily read all her concerns. It was
good that she was taking all this better than he had guessed she would.
Screaming and crying had been options he’d considered.
    “You’re safe here with me. I’d never allow anyone or
anything to hurt you.”
    “What do you really want from me?”
    It was a tough question. The answer would scare her. Everything. “Your life as you knew it is gone. The rogue might have friends and he was
recently turned. That means he has a master. I didn’t find any indications of
anyone else living with him but it’s a real possibility that someone is keeping
tabs on him. A master would seek revenge. You could become a target.”
    Dismayed thoughts hit him in waves. She’d worked hard to buy
a house she loved. Her family wasn’t close but she worried about never speaking
to them again. Real estate was all she knew. Financial concerns came next.
    “Enough,” he ordered. “I have more money than we could
spend. You don’t need to work. I know you enjoyed it but it’s too dangerous. I
am the alpha of a werewolf pack and we’re always accepting new members who need
homes. You could help find homes for them to avoid becoming bored. You’ll be
able to call your family and friends sometimes. It would be best if you tell
them you fell in love and married someone from another country. I can handle
the cell phones to block our location. I’m good at that. Your house, well, I’m
sorry. You’ll have to sell it but I think you’ll love this one once you take a
tour.”
    “Married?”
    She was stunned and it amused him more. “Mated is married.
We could have an official ceremony if you want. I’m not opposed. What’s a piece
of paper and some guy saying words compared to the kind of bond we’ll have?”
    “I don’t know what that means.”
    “It’s deeper than anything you could imagine. You’ll learn
soon enough though.” Just as soon as she agrees . He didn’t want to rush
her but he wanted to seal
