The Pack: Rule Number 1 – No Mates

Chapter Two Hundred Ninety–Five

TIMMONS

After scouring the woods, I drive into town. Domonic has put us on high alert and while Rainier and Koda have been given border patrol, I’m left scouting the town proper for all manner of tourists.

That chick, Rose, she’s trouble.

She needs to get the message and maybe I should be the one to give it to her…

Fucking Enforcers? Really? What the fuck are they? What can their purpose be? What laws do they plan to carry out?

And now because of Rose, I’m being forced to brave some of the places I prefer never to cast eyes on if I can help it.

Lucky for me, I pretty much know who everyone is just on sight of their vehicles alone. So I might not even have to get out of my car during my sweep.

But as I coast onto the main drag, it’s the sighting of one vehicle in particular that has me on edge and when I see Paul’s jeep parked next to it, my hackles are raised.

“Fuck me, really? Just had to take your girl there?” I say to no one at all.

Idling at the stoplight even after it turns green, my muscles tense with the want to take a left instead of the right that I had planned.

Before I went and looked toward the docks. And as traffic swerves around me – because they wouldn’t dare honk – I’m left to argue with myself.

I don’t want to see her.

I hate her.

But Paul’s in there right now with his mate and…

…fuck. I guess dropping in for a quick coffee wouldn’t kill me.

No. But it might make you wish you were dead.

Can this shit get any worse???

One mate, two mate, three mate, four, why did mine have to be a whore?

I almost do it. I almost turn the wheel, but then I remember what it felt like to watch her kiss one of my brothers and I take a right

instead.

Fuck it. Some of us are destined to be alone.

PAUL

I receive a text from Domonic and I am forced to release my hold on Anastacia’s hand to pull up his thread. I feel it right away. The cold loss of her warm palm, the tingling pleasure gathered from her fingers coiled with my own… gone. It’s a physical force in and of itself, and for a moment I almost don’t respond to the text, wanting instead to

good Beta. The best. And I answer.
