California must’ve done something to her brain, because that was a rule she’d never break. It was a choice. Preserving her tiger took priority over looking for love in the eyes of a wolf.
    As Gillian stepped under the hot spray, she considered what she’d do once she reached New York. Several months ago, she’d been approached by a sophisticated gentleman at a photo shoot for a new coffee club in Manhattan. He’d introduced himself as the New York Alpha, Jax Chandler, owner of the chic magazine, ZANE, who’d paid for the images. Jax and his beta, Nick Sterling, had expressed interest in seeing her portfolio with the intent of hiring her. Gillian had been thrilled with the prospect of being offered a staff position. When she called her mother and mentioned his name, she’d confessed to Gillian that she had a half-brother, who also lived in the city. An Alpha…Jax Chandler.
    Gillian, concerned that he’d force her into his pack, cut off contact with Jax, giving him no explanation. If he found out that they were family, he wouldn’t relent. He’d want her to mate with one of his wolves, let her tiger die. It had crushed her to alienate her only brother. Growing up with just her mother had been a lonely existence. She’d spent many days dreaming she had a sibling, someone close who’d be family. Giving up her nature in order to gain family, however, was simply not an option.
    Thanks to Chaz, Jax now represented survival. Chaz had told her repeatedly that he’d never give up on finding her, stealing her gift. Jax was the only one she could trust to protect her.
    Dimitri had his own battles to fight. He didn’t need to fight hers. While he’d surprised her in the desert with his insurmountable strength, it wasn’t fair to ask him to help her. They both knew that at any moment, his wolf could falter. And what if he died because of her? She couldn’t allow him to sacrifice himself for her. She’d never let that happen.
    She stepped out of the shower, catching sight of her swollen lips in the mirror. His kiss. The kiss. She’d felt her tiger calm in his arms, and it terrified her. The more she talked to him, the more she felt herself entangled in his web. He was charming with a flair for humor that brought a smile to her face. Dominating and sexy, his powerful presence told her that he’d take her in ways she’d never known. The thought of him driving deep inside her core made her ache with need.
    She cursed, rolling her eyes. Here she was in a hotel room with two shifters, knowing full well they’d scent her arousal the second she opened the door. She had to get her shit together, or at least try not to throw herself at Dimitri…again. For the love of the Goddess, stop thinking about sex. Her libido was in overdrive, making her feel as if she was a hot-air balloon about to take off into the wild blue yonder.
    Gillian toweled her hair dry and pulled on a white cotton spa robe. She tightened the belt around her waist and pulled the collar tight, as if it would keep her grounded. Slipping on the matching terry slippers, she shuffled over to the door. Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath. Wrapping her hand around the knob, she opened it, praying she could resist the delicious beta in the next room.
    Nothing had prepared Gillian for the heavenly scent of steak teasing her nose. Her stomach grumbled and she laughed, catching Dimitri’s hungry gaze, one that she suspected had nothing to do with the food. She noticed how Jake tensed his grip on his fork as if he was expecting a wild animal to leap at him. She laughed, finding it comical that such a strong wolf would be afraid of her.
    “Hey, darlin’. Why don’t ya come sit down here?” Dimitri pulled out a chair for her and eyed Jake. “Relax, man. She’s just this itty bitty thing of a woman. She’s not going to hurt you.”
    “Shut it,” Jake grumbled, not fond of being on the end of the ribbing. “Maybe I’m just allergic to cats.”
    “It’s
