of course, but someone.
    Brin was just as handsome, and sexy.  But he was more stable.   The kind of man you would bring home to your father and be proud of.  His calm , soothing voice is what calmed her down enough to shift.  That had never happened to her before, she had always been in control of her wolf, but when both of her mates were presented to her at the same time , her wolf had taken over, demanding that they acknowledge their mate.  She was pissed.
    It took her an hour to calm her wolf down and to listen to her.  If the big oaf had not pissed her off, she would have been able to shift a lot sooner.  But no, he had to make smart ass comments.  But he had smelled so good; she had almost been unable to resist.  It was only when she promised her wolf that she would not mate with the Vampire that she had allowed her to shift back to her human side.
    Jax blamed the whole thing on her parent’s death and the stress of taking over as Alpha before she wanted to.  That had to be the only reason she didn ' t have control of her wolf.  Sighing , she went into the small bedroom where Brin was packing his belongings quickly.  A small duffle to carry some clothes and a few books was all he was taking.
    “What about the rest of this load?” s he asked, her Irish accent coming out thick, since she felt the pull towards him.
    “No worries love; I will send for the rest, or the scavengers can have it.” He laughed and turned back to her.  She was frowning and looking around.  “I was joking, my neighbor from my apartment said she would take care of packing things up here and there.  She would send them to whatever address I gave her.” 
    Jax stiffened, a woman?  Pawing through her man ' s things?  Where the hell had that come from? Jax wondered , but still she didn’t like it. She could feel her wolf getting pissed again. 
    “Whoa, what happened?” Brin said , coming to stand before her putting his hands on her arms.  Her wolf settled instantly.  He had that effect on her.  Amazing, she felt his comfort and his worry about her.  “Your eyes went bright blue again.  I can call Jo and see if she knows why this is happening .  May be you can talk to her.  I hear Cami and she are best friends .  They may know something more by now.”
    “No, it was..." she started and then paused.  How the hell did you tell a man you just met, a human no less, that you were jealous of another woman touching his things?  Shit, it was not like she had staked a claim on him yet , a lthough her wolf was ready to.  She could see the pulse in his neck beating.  Her teeth began to stretch, and she shook her head.  Wh a t the fuck was going on with her?
    “Love, all you have to do is tell me , ” Brin said softly.
    Jax folded her arms over her chest in between them.  She did not have a lot of experience with dating.  In fact , none.  Her father ha d made sure she was busy twenty- four seven learning how to be an Alpha; she would be the first female.  Her father assured her many male wolves would come to challenge, so she had trained, and trained, then trained some more.  Her father hired the best wolves in Europe to come and help her.  She knew every single trick there was, to taking down male wolves larger than her.
    Her wolf had not needed any tricks though.  She was large, even for a normal male wolf. Her mother had been happy to see that her wolf was there to protect her.  As a female, she was going to be a target.  Her family knew it.  One time, she had asked her father if he was sorry she had not been born a male.  Her parent’s reaction had been instantaneous and very loud; she thought.  Both of them exclaimed that sh e had been a gift, their gift f r o m the Gods.   
    Although her mother had known she was lacking in social skills with men. She also encouraged her to date.  As d id her father, but really?  Who wanted to date a wolf that was mor e Alpha than they would ever be?   So her dates
