I’m into sharing.”
    “ Neither am I,” Ranger snickered. This girl had spunk, a fire that shone with every word. What you saw was exactly what you got. She was real and open and his.

    Malcolm Blackwell hadn’t expected to hear from his daughter that day . So when his private line rang with her number, he picked up immediately.
    “Nina , are you alright?” he asked his first born. She never called his private line. She usually called the house and spoke to her mother.
    “I’m good . Better than good. Guess who I’m with?” she started playfully.
    “I haven’t a clue Nina. I’m quite busy today, so if you wouldn’t mind skipping the guessing games.”
    “ Fine. I’m with Royal Cheveyo and family. He would like to schedule a meeting with you for this afternoon. The sooner the better.”
    The request was not at all what he had expected. “Why, may I ask, are you with the Cheveyos?”
    “It’s a funny story actually. I was c hasing one of the Alpha’s sons earlier this morning. When he didn’t pull over, I followed him to Maverick’s house and tackled him.”
    “Nina !”
    “Relax , I’m fine. Turns out the Chosen was in labor, so I drove her to the clinic.” Nina hadn’t known about the clinic before that, but she was sure her father did.
    “I’ll come and get you. Wait there.”
    “ No wait, Dad, that’s not it. Really, everything is fine, just complicated.”
    “ Complicated? Nina, please get to the point. Do you need my help?”
    “ No, I don’t need your help, but I do need you to see Royal. There was a small complication. I was going to handle it myself, but Royal insists you be involved.”
    “ Spit it out girl.” Malcolm knew that Nina was trying to soften him up whenever she danced around an issue.
    “ Okay, I’m Ranger Cheveyo’s mate.”
    “Shit!”
    “Dad!!!”
    “I’m sorry . It was a knee jerk reaction. So one of Royals sons claims you’re his mate?”
    “He doesn’t claim it Dad. I am.”
    “What!!! God and goddess child, don’t tell me you’ve done what I think you have.”
    “Not yet, but I do intend to. Dad, Royal says he really needs to see you. He wouldn’t tell me or Ranger, why but he made us promise to wait.”
    “ You will wait. That’s an order,” Malcolm raged. His blood pressure had to be sky high.
    “Order shmorder , Dad, I’m thirty years old. I can make my own choices.”
    Malcolm took a deep breath as if he was trying to center himself before continuing. “Nina, what on earth would possess you to agree to a mating with a werewolf you just met?”
    “I believe they call it mate fever,” she said pointedly.
    “He claims you’re his true mate?”
    “ Again with the claiming. I am his true mate. Believe me when I tell you. I’m sure.”
    “ How?”
    “I can feel it too Dad. Without going in to too much detail, I feel him like he’s a part of me. A part of me you, or Royal Cheveyo have no say so in.”
    “ How are you being treated?”
    “ Really Dad, I know you don’t much like the wolves, but it’s time to get over that and fast. They have been more than welcoming.”
    “Damn it Nina , when and where is this meeting? You can tell Royal I intend on bringing my guard.”
    “Fine , he probably expects it. Look, I have to get inside. As soon as Rory has this baby, I’ll call you and we’ll meet you at 41 Main Street, the psychics place.”
    “ His daughter-in-laws’, the one they call the oracle. I know the place. Why there?”
    “Ran ger’s living there at the moment.”
    “Fine , just promise me you’ll wait for me. Don’t go off half-cocked and let him bite you.”
    “I already promised Royal the same thing. See, you two are a lot alike.”
    “Nina , don’t play with me right now. I am on the edge. Call me when the child comes. I can be at the Brook’s place in ten minutes from that time.”
    “Great , see you then,” Nina said
