the family,” he warned the sheriff.
    “Never doubt. I take care of what is mine.” Lucifer growled. He stared the alpha wolf directly in the eyes, refusing to back down.
    Angie’s heart pounded as a surge of desire wash over her. She bit the inside of her cheek to keep herself from moaning out loud.
    Marcus Wolfe stared at Angie for several seconds. He sniffed the air and raised an eyebrow at her, but didn’t say anything. He turned and gave the sheriff an icy stare. “See that you do,” he growled. “Now, if you will excuse me, I need to talk to some people about making changes to the security system so this doesn’t happen again.” Marcus Wolfe turned and walked over to a couple of men who were working on laptops.
    Angie shook her head. “Men,” she muttered. “Always playing the ‘mine is bigger than yours’ game.”
    Lucifer chuckled. “Are you ready to do this?”
    Angie looked at the sheriff. “It’s not like I can put it off indefinitely, so I might as well get this over and done with so that I can move forward.” She pulled her shoulders back and stood a little taller, though she can no were near the six plus feet of the sheriff. “Lead the way.” She gestured toward the library with her hand.
    “After you, milady,” said Lucifer and stepped aside so Angie could walk past him.
    Angie rolled her eyes, but started walking toward the library. “Is it really as bad as you said?” she asked Lucifer when he fell into step beside her.
    “You need to be prepared for a huge mess,” said Lucifer.
    Angie nodded. It was hard focusing on the library with the Sheriff so close to her. She wanted to reach out and touch him, but knew that wouldn’t be the smartest thing for her to do. She wrapped her arms around herself, hoping it would help her not to embarrass herself by doing something really stupid.
    “Are you okay?” Lucifer watched the emotions flickering across Angie’s face. He sensed the inner turmoil she was battling because of her desire for him. He didn’t understand why she fought it. Maybe it was because she was human.
    Angie cleared her throat. “I’m fine. I’m just trying to mentally prepare myself for what I’m about to deal with.”
    “I won’t lie to you. It’s not good. But remember, you are not alone. I will be with you, and I will help you with anything you need.” Lucifer cringed when he heard the words coming out of his mouth. He was Lucifer, one of the princes of Hell…one of the fabled Four Horsemen, thanks to his cousins. He took what was his, and Angie belonged to him, but suddenly he cared about what was important to her.
    Inwardly, Lucifer winced. If his brothers heard him, they would laugh so hard, they would be rolling on the ground and holding their sides. He shook his head. Yeah, he would just have to do a little pouncing on them until they learned to respect their older brothers.
    “I know you have more important duties to attend to, than babysitting me.” She smiled at him. “I’m a big girl. I don’t need someone to hold my hands.” The smile quickly disappeared when she realized it was there.
    Don’t encourage him, she told herself. It doesn’t matter what you feel. He is a police officer, and you said you wouldn’t date anyone in law enforcement. She tried convincing herself. Her brain was listening but her body had completely different ideas.
    “You are the most important person in my life,” said Lucifer. He held open the rear door to the library.
    Angie paused at the door. “You don’t even know me. How can I be important to you?” She looked up at Lucifer.
    “You are my lifemate. You belong to me.” Lucifer stepped in front of her, blocking the entrance to the library.
    “You are funny. I don’t belong to you or anyone else. I am my own person. You’re not on any kind of medication, are you?” She put a blank, innocent look on her face. She didn’t want to admit it, but what he said rang true. And didn’t the woman who saved you
