at the pool tables is my mate, Sienna.”
    “Jase.”
    Jase nodded once, looked at the woman, and noted she was surrounded by several men and very few women. He marveled at how calm Gage was with his mate across the room, gaining attention from nearly every male in the place.
    “Oh, and you can mark my words,” Gage said, as if reading his mind. “She’ll pay for all the flirting later.”
    Jase smiled and downed his whiskey in one gulp.
    “Do you want another?”
    “No, just the beer.”
    “You got it,” Gage said. “I’m sorry we were so hard on you earlier. We take any threats to our women very serious, but Violet told us she overreacted. How long are you staying in town?”
    Violet!
    Her name, like her, was beautiful and he wanted to practice saying it over and over again. Unfortunately, his new brand of crazy would have to wait until he was alone.
    “I don’t know,” he said, honestly. “I had planned to stay a few days, but it might be best if I move on. I guess I’ll decide in the morning.”
    “There’s a pool tournament tomorrow night, if you play,” the man offered. “It might be worth sticking around for.”
    “Thanks, I’ll think about it.”
    “Good. Your food will be out soon.”
    Gage left him alone with his beer and tended to the rest of the bar.
    A few minutes later, the olive skinned man from earlier set a plate down in front of him. The huge burger was loaded with bacon, cheese, and a secret sauce that smelled delicious. A mound of fries surrounded the burger and covered the dish.
    “Hey Jase, I’m Dean,” said the man.
    Unlike earlier, his long hair was pulled back into a rubber band, and he wore the same shirt as Gage with the words Dark Moon stretched across the front.
    “Hey,” Jase nodded.
    “Do you want another?” Dean asked, motioning toward his empty glass.
    “Yeah, tap.”
    He picked up his burger and took a huge bite at the same time Dean set a new, full glass in front of him. The flavors of the food swirled around his tongue, and his bear growled beneath the surface. He’d had good food before, but he’d never been aroused from a burger.
    What the hell? I’m losing my fucking mind.
    He put the burger down and inhaled deep.
    The scent of warm sweet apples and honey swamped him, and he looked toward the door in time to see Violet, his mate, walking across the room toward her friends.
    Holy fuck!
    She’d switched her jeans and t-shirt for a pair of black go-go boots, a short mini skirt and a form-fitting tank top. She held a little black purse by the strap in her hand, and random curls bounced around her head. Every few steps, her skin seemed to sparkle in the dim lights.
    Earlier, when they crossed paths in the coffee shop, he’d been attracted to her simple style. The t-shirt had embraced her large breasts, pulling slightly between the two soft mounds without being too snug, and when she ran from him, her jeans had hugged her smooth, round ass, tempting him with every stride.
    He watched every unmated man, both human and shifter, zero in on her as she crossed the floor. The urge to fight anyone who looked at her swamped him, and once again he wanted to claim her in the middle of the room so everyone would know who she belonged to.
    “God damnit,” he whispered, forcing himself to look away.
    “Want to talk about it?” Dean asked.
    “Not even a little bit,” Jase responded, shoving another bite of burger into his mouth.
    “Well, if you change your mind, a few of us live upstairs, so someone is always here.”
    “Thanks man,” he nodded.
    Dean left, allowing him to finish his food in peace, but he couldn’t take his eyes off of his mate. She hadn’t looked in his direction once, and the alpha in him wanted to assert his dominance, and punish her for the insult. Of course, his form of punishment involved tying her to the bed and licking her cunt until she screamed his name and vowed to be his forever.
    A tall, dark-haired wolf approached her group, and
