put on others, made him pike hard.
    “Oh wait.” She stopped and turned back to him. “Can I get you to bring me a few things from the store?”
    She started rambling off a list that he vaguely catalogued while watching her soft body shake. When she finally finished rambling and began backing away from him again, he spoke up.  
      “Sienna.”
    She stopped her retreat and met his gaze.  
    “We’re not done with that kiss.
    Her mouth dropped opened and he took the satisfaction of her shock with him as he walked out the back door and got on his bike. She had five minutes, maybe ten to get her thoughts straight before he did anything crazy.

    “What do you mean a human saw him shift? What the hell were you doing fighting around humans?” Bhric sounded like he was on the edge of losing it.  
    “Well, the guy was an asshole with an impulse control problem. He should have controlled himself better than that.”
    Bhric growled on the other end and he was damn glad he wasn’t standing next to the man. Bhric was known for his temper and no one wanted it thrown in their direction.
    “We both know what all the councils will say when word about this gets out. Where are the wolves now?”
    Gage winced. “Don’t know. They followed me and it took a long time to shake them. I’ve got a bad feeling I can’t shake that they are still tracking me though. I’ve got the girl stashed somewhere safe for now, but it won’t last. I need to bring her home.”
    “I don’t mean to sound heartless, but what do we care about what happens to one human woman? She butted into our business and saw more than she is allowed. There are already rules in place for this kind of thing. Let the wolves take her and then get your ass back here. We’ll deal with the wolves through Rafe. That’s his thing.”
    Gage didn’t give one shit about who took care of the assholes from the bar. If Bhric wanted the alpha leader of the wolves to deal with his own kind that was his business. The girl on the other hand…  
    “There’s a slight problem with that plan.” He wasn’t a pussy and he could certainly admit this to his own leader. “My wolf won’t let the girl go.”
    “You have got to be fucking shitting me.” Gage held out the phone and snarled at it as he listened to the string of curses coming out of Bhric’s mouth. Leader or not, Gage had a limit to how much bullshit he could take.  
    He placed the phone back at his ear. “Look I know. You think I don’t realize what kind of problems this is going to create? Laws are there for a reason but there are always circumstances in which they can be broken and I’ve seen a lot of rules get bent in the name of mating.”
    “So you’re claiming her? Is she on board with that?”
    “I don’t know yet, we haven’t exactly had time to sit down over a cup of coffee and have a fucking chat. I’m not even sure she has fully processed what she saw.”
    “Here’s a guess,” Bhric’s voice rose several more octaves. “She’s not on board. She’s in shock and a human in shock is extremely dangerous.” Another string of garbled curses came across the line as Bhric’s anger made his inability to control his animal almost impossible.  
    “Get your ass back to the woman and wait to hear from me. I’m going to make some calls and see what I can find out. Whatever you do, don’t fuck her. We aren’t even sure what happens to a human taken by a shifter in mating heat and the last thing I need is another woman losing her damned mind over one of my pack.”
    Gage wasn’t sure he could make that deal. Every minute he was away from Sienna the stronger the bond between animal and human got. At the moment he was close to crawling out of his skin to get back to her.  
    “I’ll try,” he said into the phone.  
    When Bhric started yelling at him to do more than fucking try, Gage disconnected the call and shoved the phone back into his pocket.  
    The more he thought about Sienna
