EXCERPT
This
is not good, not good at all! Andy
Brown paced outside of the café by the north docklands of Sydney Harbor. The
cooling autumn breeze coming off the bay felt refreshing. Not that he took any
notice—utter panic clenched his chest.
Every
shifter gets one chance at a true mate in a life time, considering his kind
lived three to four hundred years; it was a hell of a long time to wait. So
many shifters went through their entire lives without ever finding their
special someone.
He
and his twin brother Hamish had just hit their eighties; not even into their
first century, and now this.
Andy
turned, staring at the café door. Nestled within, eating hot chips and sauce,
sat his true mate. His Panther roared to life at the scent of the man he'd
bumped into as they'd passed.
It
had to be a mistake, the fates had it wrong.
"It
can't be a guy…I'm not gay!" Oh Goddess what to do? The food he
just purchased, he tossed on a table and fished out the mobile phone from his
jeans pocket, jabbing the speed dial button for his brother's number.
Hamish
answered on the second ring. "What? I wanted iced coffee, no low fat
crap."
"I've
found my mate! What am I gonna do!?"
"First,
calm down, and next, go get her dimwit."
"No…I
can't…I can't!"
"Andy
calm down, why can't you? If it's your true mate, you have to."
"No,
there's a mistake, m…my mate's not what it seems." Damn, he couldn't even
bring himself to tell his own brother. They shared everything; they didn't keep
any secrets between them.
"I'm
just signing for the shipment now; I'll be there in a moment. Keep an eye on
her and don't lose track."
The
line went dead.
Their
cousin, and Alpha of Black Town, River Black, had sent them down to pick up a
shipment of diamond-head cutters for their Earth moving company.
He
paced again; his Panther was agitated not caring about the gender of his
'mate.' His cat was far more interested in getting to him and mating.
It
made his stomach roll, damn. I'm not gay, I'm not. I love women! Where the
heck is Hamish?
The
urge to go back into the café and take another peek at his mate, rode him hard.
Maybe his eyes were just playing tricks on him? His hand settled on the door of
the café, ready to push it open, but stopped at the sound of Hamish's blue Ute.
Andy
turned to watch his brother's car roll to a stop outside the curb of the dock.
Hamish climbed out, but his calm collected swagger as he strode forward didn't
help matters. Hamish's brown eyes regarded Andy, no doubt amused at his
flustered state.
"So
where is she?"
Andy
growled low and threatening. "He is in there." There! It was
out. He'd told his brother.
Hamish's
left eye brow quirked up in surprise. "He?"
"You're
not deaf, my mate is a he! This is so screwed, I'm so screwed!"
"Hummm…"
Hamish rubbed his chin. "Just take some deep breaths or something. Let me
check this out, which one, is uh, it?"
"He's
wearing a black baseball cap and blue patterned shirt and has a scent like
orange lilies."
Hamish
shook his head and walked into the café.
