His voice… changed, and he growled like a damned animal a word that sounded a hell of a lot like,
“Mate.”
Should I run?
I knew I should probably run, but something about the way the guy looked and smelled had me frozen where I stood.
“Well, now it’s a real party,” Teagan remarked with a grin. “And this time, I don’t have to abduct anyone.”
“What the absolute fuck?” My head jerked toward Ebony, who’d invited me to this damned party. Tea had left the dorms a while ago, but I expected her less-crazy roommate to be the voice of reason here. “Ebony…”
“Remember how I said werewolves aren’t real?” she asked, grimacing so deeply I worried the expression might be permanent. “It was a lie.”
My eyebrows shot so far upward I worried they’d fall the hell off.
Yet, my stupid gaze jerked back to the guy.
Rocco, Teagan had said his name was.
Holy damned hotness, I’d never seen anyone so gorgeous.
And he was growling.
Like an animal.
Why the hell was I still attracted to him?
“Ford!” Ebony called over her shoulder.
I couldn’t peel my eyes off the hot guy long enough to glance over at her.
Rocco’s fingernails were digging into the plastic picnic table so hard I worried they might bleed. He looked like he was in pain, and I… wanted to take that pain away.
Seriously, something had to be wrong with me.
His face contorted, and I bit my lip as I fought the urge to step toward him and put my hands on him.
Why did I think touching an absolute stranger would help him?
He had called me mate though—which had to mean something, right? Was that why I felt so damned attracted to him?
But what was a mate?
I took a step back, hoping a bit of distance would clear my mind, but Teagan grabbed my arm before I managed to get anywhere.
“What’s a werewolf’s mate?” I asked Teagan, my eyes flicking between her, and Ebony, and Rocco.
“Oh honey, you’re about to find out,” Tea promised.
What the hell did that mean?
