realized too late when he toppled onto his back, baring his throat and stomach. Smelling victory, Boulder went to release his hold. Nick, in a final attempt for his life, snapped his teeth. Boulder struck fast, sinking his teeth into Nick’s neck. Blood ran into his mouth as he tore into the fur and tissue. He worked slow, tearing Nick apart until his target stopped moving. Releasing the tiger, he stepped back, waiting for Nick to transform into his human shell.
    His wolf howled, signaling his team that the deed was complete. Nick was dead. Biting back the discomfort from the shift, he transformed slowly. His bones altered, cracked, and realigned as skin replaced fur. He howled again with sadness. Nick’s death was not enough, confirmed by his inner beast scratching at him, agitated, telling him to find his mate now .
     

CHAPTER 6
    New York… Friday
     
    “So what brings the Valkyrie to this side of town?” Selena said without looking up from scanning the reservation list. “Slumming?” Selena’s head snapped up, giving Kara the onceover.
    Kara sighed dramatically before narrowing her violet eyes on Selena. “What can I say? I’m a glutton for punishment.”
    “And I know how much my brother loves punishing you,” Selena responded cheekily before walking around to hug Kara. “Welcome back to Cortez’s den of sin. And how are you going to serve him?”
    Kara smiled, hugging her back quickly. “I’m not back. I’m here on business.” She stepped back quickly, smoothing down her sheath dress.
    “Uh-huh.” Selena flipped her jet-black hair while giving Kara a sceptical stare. “Just don’t destroy the restaurant. Last time, we had to shut down the restaurant for a day to repair the mess you two made.” She clucked her tongue. “All that blood and destroyed fine dinnerware. Why can’t you two just have make-up sex like regular couples?”
    Kara grunted with displeasure. Her last showdown with Cortez left her more broken—emotionally and physically—than she cared to admit. “We’re not a couple anymore, and when we were together… it damn sure was not like any regular couple that I know of.”
    “Exactly.” Selena arched a well-manicured brow. “True-mates are very rare. Maybe you shouldn’t be so quick to throw away what you two have.”
    Kara gave her pissed glare. “And maybe you should stay out of my fucking business, Selena,” she barked, losing a little bit of her signature cool.
    Selena’s eyes narrowed. “Never. We’re friends… despite your attempt to distance yourself from me because of him.” Her eyes filled with hurt before she smiled sadly. “Despite his faults… he loves you and you love him. How hard is it for you two to work this shit out?”
    “I don’t want to talk about this,” Kara responded through tight lips. She couldn’t deal with the truth of the rotten hand she’d been dealt. She turned on her heels and began to walk away. “No. You know what? I do want to talk about it.” She turned back to look at Selena. “You want to keep it real, then we will. The only thing your brother and I can do without killing each other is fuck.”
    Selena shrugged. “And what’s wrong with that?”
    Kara looked at her incredulously. Selena was just as warped as her brother. “Cortez and I are like oil and water. We don’t mix.” Selena stared at her silently. “He’s a ruthless killer who kills for the sheer joy of killing. I cannot be with someone like him. Shit! I left that life years ago and I’m not going back… ever.”
    Selena shrugged. “He is who he is… and so are you. It doesn’t mean it can’t work. Besides, you two are miserable without each other.” She pursed her lips. “Has it ever occurred to you that maybe if you stuck around and showed him you’re willing to give him what he needs, then maybe you could finally tame the wild vampire?”
    “Tame?” Kara looked at her as if she was crazy. “He tried to kill me, multiple times.”
    Selena
