Another Potential Mate?

I would fully admit that I wasn't paying attention to what the dude in the suit was saying. It seemed that he and Scarlet had a long history, and I didn't care about either one of them enough to really want to pay attention to it.

 

Looking around the room, I think I was the only one to see a naked man in the shadows, his eyes glowing in the darkness around him. He must have just shifted back into human form. The sight of him wasn't what made my heart pound in my mouse's chest; it was the gun he raised.

 

He appeared to be staring right at me and for a second, I was worried I was his target. But that was when I noticed it. He was actually staring at Julis, the center of her forehead right under where I stood between her ears.

 

Fuck that shit.

 

As soon as I saw his white teeth flash in what could only be a grin, I shifted, pushing the wolf out of the way of the bullet while also trying to keep myself as a shield.
