pack’s safety.”
    Emma took a deep breath and began her tale.
    “Two years ago I meet Brian for the first time, he came into the clinic where I was working. From that day on, he flirted and asked me out. I always said no, then about six months ago, I finally agreed, because I thought I’d go out with him and then he would leave me alone. We went for a meal, when he was walking me home he started talking about being together forever and how I was his. I realised then, he was a nut job, by this time we were outside my apartment and all of a sudden he had me pinned to the wall and his hands were everywhere. I was telling him no, but he just carried on ‘till I managed to knee him between the legs. After that, he still pestered me and everywhere I went, either him or his men were there. I got countless phone calls. He also sniffed me every time I saw him and was constantly asking who I’d been with. It was just creepy and until today, I didn’t know he was behind me getting attacked. A few days after the date and telling him I wouldn’t be going out with him ever again, a big dog knocked me down and tried to bite me. A gang of kids chased it away before it could. It was him, I know it after seeing him change today.”
    “What, he tried to mark you?” Mike almost shouted.
    Mike had been biting his tongue throughout Emma’s story, not happy with what he was hearing. His wolf wasn’t happy either. Mike wanted to go and pull her into his lap and chase away her fears.
    “Marking, is that real too? Does it mean I would have been his if he had managed to bite me? ” Emma replied.
    Scott answered her this time.
    “Unfortunately some of our kind believe humans are there for their amusement and have been known to mark them so other wolves know who they belong to. It seems Brian is one of them. The only time we mark someone is if they are our mate, it’s something we consider sacred. Have you been bitten?”
    “No,” Emma replied.

    Emma sat quietly for a few moments thinking about everything they had talked about and the only thing that bothered her was the thought of Mike mated to someone else. The very thought brought an ache to her chest, which was really stupid. She barely knew him, yeah she fancied the pants off him and he was in nearly all her thoughts, but it was crazy.
    “Well I’m going for a shower before dinner, thanks for explaining everything and I will see you all later,” she said and walked out of the office and up the stairs.
    Once in her room, Emma sat on the bed and contemplated what she now knew. It still amazed her that she wasn’t freaking out and that the books Craig got her into were real. Could Craig be a werewolf too? Were the books his way of introducing her without telling her, but also making it easier for her if she did find out by accident? She was also wondering how much longer she could stay in this house with Mike, because she knew it would kill her to see him with anyone else. This pull she had to him was unlike anything she had ever experienced before. Looking at her phone, she saw it was almost time for dinner, so she quickly showered.
    After showering, Emma pulled on some comfy jeans and a sweat shirt, before towel drying her hair and pulling it up into a ponytail. She slipped on her trainers and headed downstairs. As she closed her bedroom door, she heard a door close behind her, she turned to see Mike.
    “How are you doing, Em? Not feeling too freaked out I hope,” Mike said.
    “No, I’m fine, I am curious though, maybe you know or could help me, is my friend Craig a were? He introduced me to the werewolf books and I just wondered if it was his way of preparing me in case I found out by accident. It’s obvious now, I was surrounded by them in London. Is there any way you could find out for me? I don’t want to say anything if he is human like me,” Emma said.
    “I can make a phone call to your old boss and ask. I expect you could do with a friend to talk to about
