done this time.
    He pushed his way through the crowd and was stunned by what he saw. Skye was navigating his way through the course, and he was doing it at an amazing pace. One that most seasoned soldiers couldn’t manage.
    “Look at your little guy go,” Logan said as he nudged Alden with his elbow.
    “He is amazing, isn’t he?” Alden said with pride.
    “I didn’t know he had it in him,” Logan admitted.
    “You should see him shoot. He’s even better at that.”
    Logan cocked a brow. “Really? Sounds like he has the makings of a great soldier.”
    “Funny you should mention that. Skye said that he would like to go that route. You wouldn’t be interested in taking him on your team, would you?”
    Logan cocked his head to the side as he seemed to be thinking it over for a moment. “If you get him cleaned and straightened up, then sure. I would be more than happy to make a soldier out of him.”
    A burst of happiness shot through Alden, and it was all he could do not to let out a whoop. He used all his control to maintain a straight face.
    “Great, I’ll let Skye know. He’ll be thrilled to hear that.”
    Logan studied him carefully. “Why do I get a feeling that Skye means more to you than just a student or mentor?”
    Busted! Alden should have known that he couldn’t get anything past Logan. He had known the man too long. They could read each other like a damn book.
    “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Alden still said, shooting a nervous glance at the crowd.
    Logan grabbed Alden by the arm and led him to an empty corner. Once they were alone, Logan looked him straight in the face. “Fess up, buddy. Tell me what’s really going on.”
    “You know it would be improper for me to have anything but impartial feelings toward Skye,” Alden said.
    “But you still do have feelings for him, don’t you?”
    For a moment, Alden thought about denying it, but then he realized that it would feel good to unload his secret on somebody. Letting out a sigh, he said, “Yes, I do. Damn it all.”
    “What are you going to do about it?”
    “Nothing. That’s the right thing to do.”
    Logan rolled his eyes. “Skye’s not going to be your trainee forever.”
    “Meaning?”
    “Once you’re done training him and I take over, he’s open takings for you,” Logan said in a duh voice.
    “Somehow, I don’t think others will see it that way.”
    “That’s always been your problem.”
    Alden grew confused. “What has?”
    “You care too much what others think. You need to care only about what you think this one time. Otherwise, you may lose the best thing that ever came into your life.”
    “Which is?”
    Logan pointed toward the obstacle course. “Skye. He could very well be the mate you’ve been looking for all your life. Don’t blow it because you’re too caught up on a set of principles that you have set up for yourself. That kid deserves better.”
    With those parting words, Logan turned, then left. Leaving Alden standing there all alone with his mouth hanging open in stunned silence.
    Alden looked back over at the course to see Skye was just finishing up. Could Skye be his mate? Sure, Alden had feelings for him—really, really strong feelings, but he had never stopped to ponder that Skye could be the one for him.
    Now that Alden rolled it over in his mind, he couldn’t think of anyone that he would rather be with. Skye might make Alden want to beat his head against the wall at times, but there were more times Skye made Alden want to smile. That was something that Alden hadn’t found in somebody in…well, forever.
    Skye came running up to him. He took off his protective headgear, leaving behind cowlicks. It should have made him look dorky, but on Skye, it just made him all the more endearing.
    “Did you see me?” Skye asked, a big grin on his face.
    “Yes, I did. You impressed me.”
    “Really?”
    “Yes, not only that, but you impressed Logan. So much so that he said that once
