past hunt them down and destroy them all?
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.
