"Who are you?" I came awake with a jerk, disoriented and aching all over. 
A heavy male body lay beside me---we were both naked except for the sheet covering our bodies. 

I searched my memories of the night before, trying to figure out how I had gotten here while attempting to wrap the sheet around my body. I stopped when I realized I'd leave my bed partner totally nude.

I remembered myself saying over and over, "I'm your mate!"

I eased myself off the bed to look for clothes. I tried to be as quiet as I could so I didn't wake up the stranger. 

His scent was all over me, all over everything really. Rich and masculine, every time I breathed I felt as if I was being surrounded by the forest with hints of wood and a warm spice I couldn't name. I wanted to crawl back into bed beside him and never leave.

My wolf, Rayne, grumbled in my head, "We shouldn't leave! He is our mate!"

Rejected My Alpha Mate

Getting to the hospital was proving to be an exercise in organized chaos. 


Tyler still didn't want me to go while Nathan was adamant I had to be allowed to go. Neither of the Alphas in my life could stop fighting with each other long enough to agree on how I would be transported to Ethan. 


I was in the process of ordering a ride for myself with my cell phone when Adam came into the house looking pissed. 


"I've got the car pulled around to the front if you can stop fighting long enough to get in." 


Adam was normally a very laid back guy -he had to be in order to tolerate being Beta to Tyler- so I was surprised to see him angry. 


Was there too much testosterone in the air? What was happening with all of us? We were at each other's throats as if we were rivals rather than friends.
