CHAPTER 97.   Make a Plan – Part 2 (MR – 23)

  “I am not letting Mack touch my mate.”

  Natalie rolled her eyes. “I’m not talking about him doing anything with her. I’m saying when we’re walking across campus, or at the library, or we go out for fucking dinner, I don’t know. The point is, she’s with us and no one thinks twice about it, because she’s his… rebellious phase.”

  I could picture exactly what she was saying. Knew it was a good idea. But it made my skin crawl and my hackles rise.

  But Natalie’s gaze was piercing, and she didn’t look away. “You know it’s the only way to have her close and keep her safe at the same time.”

  “I won’t touch her, Rig. Trust me,” Mack said with a shudder. “The moment I took that vow she became… a family member. There’s nothing there.”

  Natalie glanced at him, but kept her attention on me.
