The Chase

Theron

I knew I was acting strange because Naya gave me a look and said into the mind link to knock it off. Still, I couldn’t help but figure out who this human girl was, where she came from, and why I felt I knew her from somewhere. Not my mate, obviously, but somewhere. She must have felt something, too, because she looked back at me, catching me watching that perky ass of hers walk away. She was gorgeous, whoever she was. Reed knocked me out of my stupor, making me turn to him. He looked at me with a worried look.

“You alright, bro? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

“You’re right. She’s human.” trying not to look too upset about that fact.

“She’s hot, though, right? Told you.” Reed smirked, looking her way. I felt Hoku growl a little inside with a ping of dominance at Reed’s words. I immediately shook it off, though; who am I to claim her? She’s not my mate, and Reed is my best friend and unmated. I immediately dismissed it, thinking it was just Hoku’s alpha warrior blood flaring
