to her breasts lovingly. His inner cat wanted to suckle from her for hours. She looked delicious.
    “Damn. Roxanne is looking fucking hot tonight,” the twin said.
    Connor’s claws came out and he had to fight his cat not to shift. This was a problem; his cat was extremely emotional. It made it very hard to control the shift. He used the breathing techniques the shaman had taught him. In and out. His claws receded and he felt himself more in control.
    He turned his back to the entrance and faced the mirrored bar. He watched as Roxanne came in and greeted her fellow pack members. Then a tall man with blond hair walked up to her and kissed her cheek with great familiarity. That must be the Alpha she was dating. They looked like the perfect couple. Both were blond, good-looking, and well built. He seemed to be rich and sophisticated, all the things that Connor wasn’t. Plus, he was a werewolf alpha and not some possible psycho killer.
    “That’s Alpha Lucas,” the twin said.
    “What do you know about him?”
    “Just that Alpha Ric knows him and is the one to recommend the match. It seems Alpha Ric is right. This is the first guy that Roxanne has gone on a second date with since I’ve known her. She must really like him.”
    It hurt to hear it. Roxanne liked this wolf. Connor wanted to hate this guy. Maybe he did a little. He watched as the smooth asshole led her out onto the dance floor and took her into his arms. His cat growled and paced inside. Mine.
    What the hell? His cat had never acted this way before. He had slept with a few women before going to South America. After his change, he found some women very attractive sexually, but he didn’t dare sleep with them for fear that he wouldn’t be able to control his shift. Extreme emotions set his shift off, so he had to work very hard to remain calm and cool. Glancing up at the mirror and watching the werewolf’s hands get extremely close to Roxanne’s ass was just too much. He felt his fur aching to burst through his skin. He needed to do something about this. Get his control back somehow.
    *****
    Roxanne was doing her best to not look in Connor’s direction. She had seen him when she first walked into the club, but she made sure she didn’t lock eyes with him. He was fucking hot, with his tight black jeans and tight jersey t-shirt stretched across his chest. Every muscle was on display and she was desperate to lick every inch of him. Her wolf was in complete agreement. Ours , her wolf kept growling. She wasn’t sure what to do to get her wolf to back down.
    When Alpha Lucas asked her to dance, she was grateful for a distraction, but now that her body was pressed against his, she knew it was a mistake. Her wolf wasn’t completely closed off from his wolf’s charms, but her wolf had only one thing on her mind: Connor.
    “Is everything alright?” Alpha Lucas asked.
    “Yes, I just need to . . . go to the ladies’ room.” She excused herself and walked across the crowded dance floor. But instead of going to the bathroom, she took the back hallway to the alley behind the club. She just wanted to get some fresh air. A little talk with her wolf and she should be ready to go back inside.
    As soon as she was outside, the fresh breeze helped cool her a little. Yes, this was what she needed, a moment to herself. She closed her eyes and lifted her face towards the half moon. She couldn’t wait until the full moon was there again. She would run with the pack. She could shift any time, but she loved running during a full moon. Everything seemed brighter, fresher, more alive. A voice from the shadows surprised her.
    “Guess I wasn’t the only one who needed fresh air.”
    “Connor?”
    Connor stepped out of the shadows, his eyes glowing and his breathing labored.
    “Are you okay?”
    He stalked closer to her. She could see him struggling with his cat. He was so new to his shifter status. She had been born a werewolf, and sometimes she wondered what it was like for
