Page 72 of Her Shifter Pack

Nancy finally sighed and conceded. “Um... well, I suppose I don’t have much of a choice. Ring up the parts you need and take my credit card before I change my mind.”

She pulled a card out of the zipper pocket on her pants and handed it to me.

Toni waved her hand to stop the transaction. “I need to make some calls first. See where I can source these parts. How about you go get some lunch and come back. Actually, Lexie, can you go pick up our orders at The Pantry?”

I handed Nancy back her credit card and grabbed my hand bag and a sweater.

“Sure.” I said, “Come on Nancy. I’ll walk with you.”

The biker girl swept her long hair up into a high pony tail. “Okay. Thanks.”

We left the shop and she grabbed her cell phone from the saddle bag on the way past. “I can’t believe my bad luck.” She grumbled, “Seriously.”

I shrugged, remembering that feeling oh too well. “At least you’re okay. The bike’s fixable.” Things could always be worse.

“Yeah... but I’m down to my last few grand.” She said, staring at the road as we walked along the footpath. “I’ll have to get a job here, or something.”

“What do you do?” I asked.

She turned towards me with a smile. “I’m a hairdresser actually. Know anyone who needs a cut?”

A hairdresser on those sorts of wheels?

I tilted my head at her. “Seriously?”

She burst out laughing. “Seriously. I just like bikes. Always have.”

We’d reached The Pantry and I opened the door for her. “I know the feeling.”

Tanner and Wade walked through the door before Nancy could walk around. They were grinning at me. “Thanks, cousin.”

I chuckled at the two gorgeous wolf shifters. “Hey guys. I didn’t know you were back already.”

Wade and Connor travelled all over the state with work and they’d left two weeks ago for some big job.

“Yeah... we, ah... got back today.” Tanner said, sounding tongue tied for the first time in his life. He was staring at Nancy like he’d just seen the sun for the first time.

Weird.

I glanced over at Nancy who was avoiding his gaze, then I turned back to Wade.

“Wade... um...” I didn’t finish my sentence because Wade wasn’t listening to me. He was staring at Nancy like she was the answer to all life’s questions.

The realization clunked into place with a thud. Fated Mates.

Tanner and Wade were Ollie and Markus’s first cousins. They were a perfect pair also. There were a few sets in the pack, but I’d never really taken notice of them before. They were just in-laws, family. I hadn’t really considered them single, gorgeous men before now.

There was only one way to find out if I was right about Nancy though.

A shot of excitement shot through me as I said, “Nancy, this is Tanner and Wade. They’re cousins to Ollie and Markus. Guys, this is Nancy. She just came into town and she’s gonna stay with us for a bit.”

I waved my hands between them as introduction, but no one moved. They were all frozen, barely breathing. I was getting a bit excited now.

“Guys, you’re being rude.” I chided them. “Shake the woman’s hand.”

Wade glanced at his twin, looking half terrified. Then he lifted his arm, ever so slowly.

Nancy glanced over at me looking just as nervous as Wade was. I elbowed her in the side. “Don’t worry. They won’t bite.” Not hard, anyway.
