at them. Something was wrong here. She could feel it.
“So, what exactly do you expect me to do?” she asked, more out of curiosity than compliance.
True had no plans of doing anything they wanted until she saw Grai. The blond ass made a fool of her already by getting her to agree to the connection through the Shengari’; she wasn’t going to let him make her a fool again.
Leif folded his arms across his chest, watching his mate as she spoke for longer than five seconds—without flinging fire or insults. It took him a moment to realize that both women were looking at him.
Hell , he thought, this isn’t a good thing . Not where either of these women is concerned.
As Leif looked between his best friend and his mate, it dawned on him just how screwed he was. True was just like Tara, who was just like his nana. Leif sighed, prayed for more patience than a Zendarian Priest and slid into a chair closest to the door.
When Tara stood, Leif jumped to his feet and blocked her.
“Where the hell are you going?” he asked her quietly, directing his eyes to where True was glaring at him with suspicion.
Tara quirked an eyebrow at him before turning to look at True, perching on the edge of the bed. Tara shrugged.
“I have problems of my own to deal with right now. You’re on your own. Besides, she’s your mate! You two have to learn some common ground and work with that, damn it!” she said as she stepped forward to leave and Leif still blocked her path.
Leif’s eyes widened and this time he spoke through the Shengari’.
“She set my junk on fire! Does that sound like a ‘mating-like’ frame of mind? Because that’s got to be the worst attempt at foreplay I’ve ever seen! And what the hell am I supposed to tell her?”
Tara huffed in frustration and turned so she could look between the angry redhead and her best friend.
“Look you two. No matter how much you want to deny it, you both know damn well,” she said looking at True before continuing, “that you’re mates. You’re it. No one else. Which means you find a way to get along and maybe fix this shit between our people in the process or relegate yourself to a life of bitter loneliness forever. And that’s looking on the bright side and saying we all don’t die in here. Tell her the truth, Leif.”
True was going to argue when Tara’s words hit home. The only way she was ever going to be blessed enough to have a child like her sister, Dare, was going to be with this—aw hell! Neither she nor Leif even noticed that Tara had left until they finally pulled themselves from their thoughts, and True looked at him warily.
True stood slowly and followed the edge of the bed until she was standing on the other side of it, facing Leif.
“What’s the truth? Why are you people even trying to fight mine? Why aren’t we working together?” she asked, hoping to learn something that she could take to Grai to end this when she found him.
Leif sighed and put his elbows on his knees and ran both hands through his hair. If he told her the truth, it wasn’t going to help him keep her, and it damn sure wasn’t going to make this better, but maybe if she understood then he could get her to his side enough to help the situation.
True was getting ready to roast him with some rapid fireballs when he began to speak.
“You know all about the history of the outpost and how we got here?” he asked. When she nodded her head, he sighed.
“Fiorn Erikson is my grandfather,” he said, and she sucked in a breath to throw questions at him, but he held up his hand to stop her.
“Just let me explain,” Leif said, more than a little surprised that she just nodded her head and crossed her arms over her ample chest. He groaned to himself at the display of her ripe breasts cresting over her shirt and had to shake his head to clear the sexual thoughts from his head.
Leif cleared his throat and made a point to look only at her eyes to keep his mind from wandering and
