negatively, even though he couldn’t see me through the phone. “I won’t accept him, Billy. I can stay hidden much easier without a handsome handler drawing attention to us.”
    “Handsome? Don’t tell me you have a thing for him.” He practically snarled.
    I rolled my eyes. “I don’t have a thing for him, but a lot of girls do. I can blend into a crowd much easier without pretty boy beside me.”
    He was quiet for a minute. “I don’t like it,” he snapped.
    “I don’t either, but, it’s better this way.” I knew I had to appeal to his sensible side.
    He blew out a breath. “I’m sending him with a few thousand cash and a burner phone for you. I want you to check in with Jared or me every two hours. One of us doesn’t hear from you and I’ll have every security company I can hire within the hour move in on you. You go on the move again, I better be your first call. Deal?”
    “Deal.”
    “I’ll meet with a PI tonight and get the ball rolling on that end. If I thought me flying out of the area wouldn’t draw attention from the dickhead, I would be on that flight tomorrow.” I heard the heaviness in his words. It was killing him not being able to personally come to my rescue. “The moment you can come back, I’ll be waiting for you, Kitty Kat.”
    I always felt safe with Billy. I doubted anyone would love and protect me the way he did. “Thanks, Billy.”
    “Take care. I’ll be waiting by my phone tomorrow.”
    “Okay.”
    He hesitated a moment. “I love you.”
    Pressure flattened my chest as my heart cracked; new tears wet my eyes. I knew Billy loved me, but he didn’t say it often. We didn’t grow up with overly warm, expressive parents. “I love you too.”
    I was left standing there with the phone, staring blankly at the receiver for a while after he hung up. How had things gone to shit so quickly? I never imagined meeting one person could change my entire life to this degree.

    What the hell did my mate just agree to?
    Her voice carried to the car. I’d threatened and annoyed my alpha into parking outside Andy’s when I caught her scent so strong there.
    Hearing her tell a man named Billy ‘I love you too’ had damn near cost me my freedom. My wolf roared to the surface quicker than I was prepared for. My hands flew into heavy fists, ready to take on the world to gain her attention. A growl vibrated through me, erupting past my lips. It was a menacing declaration, waging war on whoever this Billy was that dared to own my mate’s heart.
    My muscles cramped; my limbs trembled beneath the pressure mounting in my joints. My wolf was demanding her freedom, demanding the opportunity to claim her mate.
    Teeth clenched, jaw taut, I fought the change with everything I could. I didn’t want her running scared away from me; I wanted her running into my arms, something unleashing my wolf wouldn’t accomplish.
    Over and over her declaration of love replayed in my mind. I was powerless to stop it, powerless to control my fury. Fate fucking sucked. What was the point of giving me my mate if she was already attached to someone else? Talk about injustice.
    I blinked repeatedly; each time I opened my eyes, less and less color lit my vision.
    Through gritted teeth, I begged my best friend for help. “Don’t…let…me…hurt her.” My gums ached; my sinuses felt ready to explode as my lips curled around sprouting canines.
    “Fuck!” The pressure became unbearable.
    In the distance, I heard Jerry get out of the car. “Close the doors, Andy!” he yelled.
    My wolf broke free. Next thing I knew, glass shattered around me and my alpha was standing between my mate and me.

    I hung up the phone. I only had a couple hours before nightfall. I needed to find a place to sleep tonight and hopefully a place to grab something to eat nearby.
    “Close the doors, Andy!” a man yelled.
    I turned just in time to see Andy fly out from under the Buick. He moved incredibly fast.
