he found out.  That’s incredibly cold and cruel.”
    “Her dad’s an asshole.”  Ray cracked his knuckles.  “I’m going to get the truck and pull it around to the front of the building.  Bring her as soon as she’s ready.”
    Ray stood and walked to the front door.  He swung it open and froze as he faced a tall male wearing jeans and no shirt.
    “What the fuck are you doing in my baby sister’s apartment?”

    Scarlett’s mind was racing.  She knew that going with Ray and Wes was probably a very stupid idea, but she couldn’t push them out of her life again.  She had to take a chance on them and their plan to hide out.  She knew in her heart what she’d been feeling all these weeks – they were her truemates.  After they had mated officially, however mountain lions did that, then they could come back to Bent Creek and there wouldn’t be anything her dad could do about it.  No alpha would want a female – even a Breeding Queen – who was already marked and mated to others.
    A heavy weight lifted off her shoulders, but only for a brief moment.  She heard the front door open and Christian’s voice.
    Shit!
    Darting down the hallway, she skidded to a halt as her brother bared fangs and snarled at her mates.  Wes turned and grabbed her, putting himself between her and her brother.
    “Christian,” she whispered so her voice wouldn’t carry out the open door.  “Please.”
    He growled low and she peeked around Wes’s body to see Christian and Ray staring each other down.  Ray was bigger than Christian, but she knew her brother, like all her siblings, was a well-trained fighter, and she didn’t know how much training the mountain lions had had when it came to that sort of thing.
    “She’s our mate.”  Ray snarled the words with a menacing tone.
    Christian’s growl abruptly cut off and he straightened, looking at her in surprise.  Reaching back, he closed the front door softly.  “I want to talk to my sister.  Alone.”
    Wes’s hands tightened on her for a brief moment and she met his eyes.  “It’s okay.  He’s my favorite.”
    Christian chuckled.  “I am so holding that over your head forever.  Devon won’t like knowing he’s not your favorite brother.”
    She snorted.  “There’s no way Devon thinks he is, anyway.  I never let him win at Scrabble.”
    Christian walked past her and she smiled at her mates reassuringly before turning and following him.  She wasn’t really sure what Christian was going to say, but he wasn’t baring his teeth or snarling in a way that would alert the rest of her brothers.  He shut the door to her bedroom and leaned against it, folding his arms over his chest.
    “Spill.”
    She blinked.  “Wow, okay, well, I met them at Melody’s wedding and we had this really wonderful night together.  I walked away, though.  Melody told them not to get in touch with me, that they should move on and forget about me.”  She felt tears sting her eyes and she sat down on the corner of her bed and pressed the heels of her palms into her eyes.  “I’ve thought about them ever since.  I don’t know how they found me, but Melody doesn’t know or she would have called to warn me.”
    “What about your mating ceremony tomorrow?”  His voice was cool, his face blank.
    Her stomach twisted into a big knot.  She looked up at her brother.  “They want me to leave with them and hide out for a while.  Then we can tell Dad that I’m marked and mated and he won’t be able to trade me to anyone.”
    Christian growled.  “I don’t know if that’ll work, but I guess it’s worth a shot.”
    Her mouth dropped open in surprise.  “You’re not going to tell him, or try to stop me?”
    He shook his head.  “Fuck, no.  He’s been trying to control your life since you were little.  If he really wants to be an alpha with a big territory, then he should get it the old-fashioned way by taking over packs, not bartering his only
