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 tingle of pain speared my toe, and I glared down at it from my office chair. 


What was she doing that she was moving around so recklessly? 


It was strange to have a piece of her in me and be able to feel her pain. It wasn’t as if it was my own toe being stubbed, more like a faint echo of it. Just enough to alert me to my mate being injured. 


Not that I thought a stubbed toe warranted much concern. 


But my wolf was standing and growling at me to go check on her right that instant and make sure she was okay. I rolled my eyes. 


I could feel the tether that linked us shrinking as she got closer to the office. I had a hunch she was coming to me, anyway. 


A few minutes later, the door to my office swung open without ceremony. 


Tallia was sweaty and her cheeks were pink from her run, but she’d never looked better to me. 


I stood to approach her, but she held up her hand to stop me.
