My free hand swept around her and pressed her lower back, so we crushed together. The hand that was in her hair dug in and cupped the back of her head. Tingles spread from every point of contact until my body was on fire. I burned for her. 

I harden against her.

Tallia gasped, but didn't pull away. She stared up at me in awe with her pupils blown wide. The scent of our arousal mixed and swelled around us. 

Her hands came up to my chest and her fingers dug in, like she'd claw me if I even tried to pull away. 

"I'm done running, my mate," I said in a low growl.

When a seer informs Alpha King Bryant where to find his mate, he hits the ground running. He never could have predicted he'd find a human that confuses both him and his wolf. When Tallia is bitten by a shifter and changes into a wolf herself, all bets are off.

Queen of the Shifters

I was a happy person. It took a lot to get me down. 


But this mate thing that had happened between Bryant and me was wearing me down. 


It was painfully clear that I wasn't what he wanted, and that killed me. My wolf was pissed, too. 


She was a lot like me, bubbly and positive, but she wanted her mate, and he denied her. She didn't understand and was pretty sure he was stupid. We hadn’t been rejected, so the pain was bearable for now. I had heard stories of shifters that would die of a broken heart after their mate rejected the bond. I shivered at the thought.


I couldn't disagree about him being stupid. If he felt anything like how I did, I didn't understand how he could deny it. I ached just to be near him. 


I'd be d*mned, though, if I was going to fall at his feet. It wasn't in my nature as a human to do so, and my wolf was absolutely appalled by the idea of becoming some simpering moron just to get his attention.
