Page 14 of Arrested By My Mate

I nod, liking that I have a plan in place. It’s just…

“I’m not sure that I can let my wolf be around her. He wants to bite her and claim her so badly. I don’t know that I’ll be able to hold him back,” I admit.

“Get on the same page with him and then go do it. And do it fast. The full moon is coming up fast, and you know how bad that will be if she’s not yours by then.”

His face is grim, and I shudder as I imagine it and how painful it would be.

“I’ll talk to her tonight,” I promise him.

He nods once, stands, and claps me on the shoulder before he heads towards the precinct parking lot. I watch him go until he climbs into his police cruiser and heads home. Then I push to my feet and head back inside the police station.

My eyes lock with Nori’s as soon as I step inside, and I pause, taking a deep breath.

“I have to show you something,” I announce, and she eyes me warily.

“If it’s your dick, I’m going to lose it,” she warns me, and I bark out a laugh.

“It’s not that, but I’m curious about why your brain went there.”

Her face flushes with a scarlet red blush, and she glares at me, but it doesn’t quite hide her embarrassment.

She wants us too! Bite her!My wolf orders, and I push him down.

“What do you need to show me?” She asks as I walk closer to her cell.

“I know that you don’t believe me about us being fated mates and me being a shifter, so I want to prove it to you.”

“How?” She asks me warily, and I smile, trying to put her at ease.

“I’m going to shift for you. Then you’ll have to believe me.”

She looks doubtful, and I know that she doesn’t believe me still. She nods, and I know that she thinks that nothing is going to happen. My wolf smiles inside of me, excited to be let out and to prove ourselves to our mate.

“Ready?” I ask her, and she nods.

“Yeah, let’s get this over with.”

That’s the spirit.

I take another deep breath and then reach for my shirt and start to unbutton it. I move quickly and then reach for my belt.

“Whoa!” Nori exclaims. “You said you weren’t showing me your dick.”

“I have to strip, or I’ll rip my clothes,” I explain, and she gives me a dry look, clearly not believing me.

“Just trust me,” I implore her, and she sighs.

“You’re making it kind of hard,” she says, wrapping her hands around the bars of the cell.

“I’m sorry.”

We share a look, and she lets out a deep breath.

“Alright. Show me.”

I push down my pants and kick off my boots. I’m standing before my mate in just my boxers, and my heart is racing out of control. If this doesn’t work, then I’m going to lose her. My wolf growls and I grit my teeth and push my boxers down.

“Watch,” I say and then I shift.
