He was kneeling, looking at her shiver, and he nodded. “Ah. Taken. Got it.”

She leaned in and whispered in his ear, “And only a few hours ago, so try and touch me again. They bite.”

“Uh, I may have been over-eager.”

“Yeah, and this is not a guaranteed thing. I don’t know why you both were tapped, but she only needs one of you.” She stood, and he flickered. She saw horns and smelled sex. “But I know who you do belong to. She just isn’t here right now.”

Amelia looked at her curiously. “Whose is he?”

“Gia. She might throw him back if she sees him crawling around on other women.”

He spoke calmly, “Actually, miss, it is the alpha who does the choosing.”

Ven snorted, Elly cackled, and Amelia sighed and shook her head.

The one-eyed male murmured, “Please, let him go. He loses his head around the ladies but is steadfast and reliable.”

Amelia nodded. “Let him go, Elly. I think your assembly is a sufficient deterrent.”

Elly growled, “You know how much I hate that bullies only leave you alone when you have a scarier bully on your side.”

Amelia snorted. “You are strangling him with your hair.”

Elly unravelled her hair and let the alpha go.

Amelia walked up to the one-eyed giant. “Hello. My name is Amelia.”

She stuck out her hand, and he twisted his lips and shook her hand. “Tor. Short for Victor.” When their hands collided, there was a definite spark.

Amelia smiled. “I thought it referred to the rocky hill.”

“That, too.”

Amelia chuckled. “Who’s your skanky friend?”

“Armin. Armin Vendil.”

Elly picked up her phone and sent a message to two people. Amelia nodded with a smile. The message was sent, and now they had to wait to see if Gia was interested in the man who had saved her and set off the alteration seven years earlier.

Chapter Eight

The locals had moved some furniture in, and they were having refreshments overlooking the ocean from the old house.

Amelia was explaining things to Keoki when something happened. She lifted her head and smiled. “Gia’s here.”

Syar laughed. “I am suddenly drowning in charming women, but I honestly don’t mind.”

Elly shuddered. “Don’t say drowning.”

The scent of a woman in heat hit them before Gia rounded the corner.

Amelia got up and walked over to the woman in the jean jacket, t-shirt, jeans, and hiking boots. “Gia. Hey. Nice jacket.”

“Thanks. I was chopping wood when Wren called.”

Armin got to his feet, and she glanced at him. “Oh. Hell. Yeah. He’s the one. I have identified him. Can I go?”

Elly smiled. Gia was not in the mood for bullshit today, but she was intrigued, or every guy at the table wouldn’t be sporting a boner from her scent.
