would be Lexi and Parker, but considering the woman refused to be alone with North for any extended period of time, North wasn’t sure anymore.
    He knew he and Lexi were potential mates. His wolf knew it and rode him hard to complete the mating, or at least initiate the mating dance.
    All wolves had certain people out in the world they could mate with over time. Fate had decreed it, and usually, the human halves involved jumped in headfirst. To find one’s mate was an amazing experience—or so North had heard.
    North also knew that Lexi had been mated before. After all, she had Parker. Wolves couldn’t have children without the mating bond in place. There was no doubt, considering the little boy looked just like his Uncle Logan with a little Lexi thrown in, that he was a product of Lexi and her late mate.
    And that’s how it had to be according to fate and what he’d known for so long. Lexi’s previous mate must have died. Once a wolf completed the mating bond, no matter how many other potential mates a wolf met in the future, neither party would feel that new pull. It would be a cruel twist of fate to allow a wolf to bond their mate only to find out they had another half elsewhere.
    There was no way fate was that sadistic.
    He figured she’d lost her mate when she’d been kicked out of the Talons.
    North growled and fisted his hands again at that thought. That fucking Pack was next on his list after the Centrals. Those bastards had hurt his mate and would have to pay. Though it hurt to think that Lexi had loved someone before him and had completed that mating, he’d take her as she was.
    Not that there was anything wrong with her.
    Far from it.
    He loved her strength, the way she protected her family though she was much smaller than her brother. He loved those fierce eyes, that athletic body, and that silky blonde hair of hers.
    He knew it was silky because he’d felt it when he’d tucked it behind her ear.
    And the day he’d almost died.
    That, though, wasn’t something he wanted to dwell on at the moment.
    If ever.
    Someone made a rustling sound at the door, and he turned to find Patrick there—a lower-ranked wolf who pissed him off to no end. The wolf thought he was more badass than he was and had once tried to kill Ellie’s mate because of circumstantial evidence.
    The idiot was lucky North didn’t tear his throat out right there.
    “What can I do for you, Patrick?”
    The other man lifted his chin. “Need to restock my first aid kit,” he grunted.
    North could almost taste the lie but showed the other man where he could get the things anyway. As the only doctor in the Pack, he routinely helped stock those things since wolves were always getting in scrapes. Though if North didn’t know any better, it was almost as if the other man was casing the joint or just trying to get in his space.
    Okay, North admitted he might be getting a little paranoid.
    “Is that all?” North asked as he packed up Patrick’s things.
    “Yep. Thanks. Good to know you take care of all of us, not just your family.”
    North growled but held his wolf in check.
    “You’re done. Get the fuck out.”
    “Gladly.”
    Patrick stomped out, and North was left there confused. Okay, so the bastard was either going crazy, or North’s family would have to deal with a wolf on the edge at some point. There was something else going on with Patrick, something North might not have seen today, but North couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling. He’d have to talk to his father about it soon.
    He ran his hand over his face and hoped there wouldn’t be any more surprises for the night.
    North scented the pup before he heard him and smiled.
    He loved that little-boy smell—the bare hint of wolf and forest mixed with spice.
    The acidic smell of fear and pain that slid under that little-boy smell caused North’s hackles to rise. He turned toward Parker, who stood in the doorway, tear tracks running down his cheeks, but his lips were in a firm
