Slade's Feisty Mate (Saber Chronicles Book Two) Read Online Free PDF Page B

for a moment that they would be. There
were wolves in the pack who thought wolves should only mate other
wolves, but Gretchen was thrilled her mate was a sexy saber-tooth
tiger. Her parents offered to contact the alpha, but Gretchen
wanted to do it herself. It had been a quick conversation. He was
too busy to meet her or her mate, but he wished her well. Her
cousin, Chloe, was going to continue to handle the visiting pack,
and Gretchen would remain the pack’s contact at the hotel for any
needs they might have.
    She would need to find a place to shift and
hunt on the full moon, outside of pack territory of course, and she
wasn’t sure where that would be.
    “What are you thinking about,” Aubrey
asked.
    “Hunting.”
    “Caleb has some property outside of Belle
Terra. It belonged to our grandparents,” Aubrey said. “He inherited
it.”
    “What did you get?” Gretchen asked.
    “I got to go to college,” she said. “And a
nice car.”
    “Is it around other shifter territories?”
    “No, it’s neutral.”
    A neutral territory meant that while
supernatural creatures could live and work in an area, no one ran
it outside of the human government responsible for the area.
    “Do you think he’d let me use it?” Gretchen
asked.
    “Us,” Slade said.
    “Right, I mean, would he let Slade and I
shift and hunt on the full moon?”
    Aubrey shrugged. “I don’t see why not. He
doesn’t use it. It’s twenty wooded acres. My grandparents bought it
so they could build a home when my grandpa retired, but they never
got around to it. You can ask him when we meet up with him
tonight.”
    “I thought you met with him for dinner last
night?” Slade said.
    Alaric shook his head. “He had an issue with
his kiss.”
    “I still think it’s strange that vampire
groups are called kisses,” Slade said, pulling Gretchen from her
chair and into his lap, devouring her in a kiss.
    “Could you keep the public groping to a
minimum?” Galen said, grumbling. “Some of us are trying to
eat.”
    Slade lifted from her lips and looked at his
brother. “Did you have a mating dream last night?”
    “I don’t know. I just dreamed about gold and
pink. I have no idea what that means.” He rubbed the space between
his eyes with his thumb.
    Lia, their sister, said, “We’d love to sit
and chat all morning, but Aubrey is taking me to a boutique to go
shopping and then we’re going to hit the kiss’s club, Heat, tonight
where we’ll meet with Caleb. Do you want to come, Gretchen?”
    “Slade and I are meeting my parents in an
hour. But we could go to the club tonight.”
    Slade made a face, and she leaned in to
whisper in his ear, “Come on, sexy. Rubbing up against each other
in the club for a few hours will be a lot of fun.”
    His lip curled. “It would be more fun to do
that naked, in your room.”
    “Our room.”
    “Guys, fucking seriously,” Galen said, making
a show of plugging his ears.
    “Oh, before I forget,” Aubrey said, “Caleb
said that you and Slade should move onto the fourteenth floor. You
can have your pick of suites. You’ll have a lot more room, and it’s
more private since it’s not an open floor.”
    “Cool. But what about Caleb’s visitors?”
Gretchen knew Caleb used the fourteenth floor, where Aubrey lived,
to house special guests, like visiting masters.
    “There are a dozen suites on the floor, and
I’m the only one with a permanent residence. Use your card to check
out the rooms and pick your favorite. You can have the bellhops
help move your things from your current room.”
    Gretchen was thrilled. The suites on Aubrey’s
floor were amazing. They had three bedrooms, a full kitchen, and
great views.
    “Wait, sweetheart,” Alaric said as Aubrey
made the motion to push her chair back. “We need to talk about the
fights.”
    Slade’s hold on Gretchen tightened. “I’m not
fighting anymore.”
    “Neither am I,” Alaric said, “but first we
need to break our contract with Jonathon and
