My wolf rolls his eyes, just happy that our mate is safe and secure back at the station.

God, I hate him.

He growls at me, and I ignore him.

“Let her go. Right now,” Ryker says urgently.

He looks freaked out, and seeing the normally confident Alpha looking worried only has me freaking out even more.

See!I scream at my wolf, and he snorts and starts to pace inside of me.

“Yeah, let her out and explain everything to her. She’ll change her mind then,” Griffin says, and I shake my head.

“And if she doesn’t? I mean, she’s pretty pissed at me right now.”

“No shit!” Crew says, starting to pace.

“Wait. What did she do? Why did you arrest her?” Harris, a firefighter, asks curiously.

“She was speeding.”

“Please tell me that she was going a hundred miles an hour,” Crew says desperately, and I shake my head silently.

“Fifty?” He asks, and I sigh.

“Forty in a thirty-five.”

“Dammit, Tucker!” He yells, and I scrub my hands down my face.

“I know,” I say miserably.

This is not going how I hoped it would. I was expecting them to reassure me that everything was going to be okay and send me back to the station with a solid plan. Instead, now all eight of us are freaking out.

“What do I do?” I ask, and they all stare at me blankly.

Logan takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly. Then he breaks the silence.

“Go back and beg for forgiveness. Maybe if you apologize, you can shift and tell her about shifters and fated mates and then go from there.”

“Yeah, that seems like your only option. Maybe if you can win her over, things will be smoother,” Ryker adds.

“Alright. I can do that.”

I think.

“Good luck,” Crew says, clapping me on the back.

“Thanks,” I mumble as I turn and trudge back towards the police station.

Okay, so we just need to win her over. If we can charm her, then we can explain all of this and get our mate.

Or, counteroffer,my wolf starts,we can bite her and skip the other part.

No. We need to give her a chance and let her choose us.

Right, but if she doesn’t choose us, then we bite her and make her ours.

No!
