to rescue the alpha first. “I see. Actually, no I don’t, but you will explain yourself to me and to her. I will do my best with your mate, Tucker, but as I have had very little to do with this woman, I’m not sure how to handle her. But I can assure you that according to my mate, keeping her safe and out of jail will be a full time job. And not one I’m willing to help you with every day.”
    Aaron walked up a few steps past the girl and stopped halfway between her and Bradley. Aaron felt her track him with her eyes and he was surprised by that. When shadowed as he’d been, humans were not able to see him. He materialized when he was standing between her and the alpha.
    “Miss Hunter, always a pleasure to meet the new people in my realm. I understand that you and our esteemed alpha have had some issues today. Perhaps I can be of some assistance.”
    Sam simply reached behind her and pulled out another Glock that she’d had hidden there. Before Aaron could blink, she had this one pointed at him. Aaron moved only to raise his hands up in much the same way that Bradley had done. The situation had just gone from bad to worst. Well, fuck.
    “Oh, yeah, that’s helpful,” Bradley snarled from behind him. “Now she had two targets instead of one. Remind me again why you’re the bad-ass Master of the Realm.” Aaron growled at Bradley and almost laughed when he growled right back. This was so not amusing.
    “Just so you both know, I’m a dead shot at any distance. I can and have taken out a man’s Adams Apple at seventy-five feet, centering six bullets point blank. That was using my left hand. My right is just as good, only I missed one and it hit him between the eyes. Bad shot, I guess, but only in making him die quickly.” She shrugged; Aaron shuddered. He didn’t think she was kidding. “I know that neither of you are human, not that I really give a rat’s ass, but these are silver shots. You, bloodsucker guy, you can help me by backing the fuck up. The dog and I are having a private conversation here and you were not invited.”
    Aaron wanted to. He wanted to go home and go back to making love to his mate.
    But before he could say anything, Bradley growled again.
    “I’m not a fucking dog, damn it. You know, I think you need someone to paddle that ass of yours. I’m sick to death of this bull shit. Why the fuck am I even a target in this? Because I tried to protect you?”
    “Bradley, let’s not piss her off any more than she apparently is.” Aaron was going to die, he just knew it. “Remember, she does have a gun on us both. Tucker, I think this would be a good time to make yourself known to your mate.” Aaron was a little nervous, but trying hard not to show it. Sam was not. All he could smell on her was Tucker and pissed off female. He could feel that she would shoot either or both of them without any problems or much more provocation. He wasn’t even sure what the hell had happened in the first place. And on top of that, he was going to have to punish the both of them. If he lived…he surely hoped that he would.
    Tucker was suddenly in front of Sam. She didn’t even back up and didn’t seem to be afraid of him, which surprised him. They stared at each other for all of ten seconds before she turned and aimed both guns at his chest. He reached out and touched her forehead, said “sleep,” and caught her as she tumbled into his arms. Aaron took the first deep breath he’d had since coming here. And he used it to snarl at the vampire who held the young woman in his arms.

    ~CHAPTER SIX~

    Sam woke up in the same damned bedroom she had been in before. Frustrated at ending up in this house again so soon after leaving made her want to punch someone, hard. So, kicking violently at the blankets, she threw herself out of bed and right into the arms of the man who had stood in front of her at the alpha’s house. Her first thought was that he was incredibly tall. Then she could smell him. She barely
