kind of intuition. When you’re doing what the universe intended for you, it’ll feel right.”
Gwen nodded.
“Why do you ask?”
“No reason,” Gwen said quickly. “I was thinking about my LK match. I haven’t found anyone yet, but I’m wondering how I’ll know when I meet them.”
“Don’t worry, you’ll know.”
“You don’t have to wait around here with me all night,” Gwen said. “Go on and get home to your wife.”
Kellan checked his watch. “You sure?”
Gwen nodded. “We only have ten rooms tonight and Virginia’s here too.”
She didn’t have to tell Kellan twice. He was halfway out the door before she’d finished speaking. “Thanks, Gwen!”
It wasn’t a big deal at all. There was no need for two of them to stay until midnight. She was going to be there until three a.m. anyway. Gwen didn’t need Kellan for protection either. She was a full-grown female tiger. She could get nasty if she needed to. Virginia was around somewhere too. The young wolf was a cousin of Kellan’s and a member of the Lunar Pack. Between the two of them, Gwen was confident they could handle any problem.
It was a slow night anyway. Normally, Gwen liked having company on these nights. She and Kellan could talk and keep each other from getting bored. She wasn’t in the mood for happy talking this night. She had too much on her mind. She had sworn she’d stop thinking about Dom, but she couldn’t.
Kellan had said she would know when she met her mate. Gwen thought about everything her mother had told her about meeting her father. He’d been a human. Gwen’s mother had said she’d practically dragged the poor man back to her apartment and almost killed him with her loving. Her mother was a real character. Good thing her easygoing father had let Mom do whatever she wanted. He never questioned the pretty shifter woman who had dragged him home.
That was what Gwen was looking for with a mate. The knock-you-over, head-over-heels kind of love. That wasn’t how she felt about Dom, exactly. But she didn’t know. She wasn’t sure if it was her human getting in the way of her intuition. Maybe she and Dom had too much history to have a really romantic love story. She’d liked Dom when she first saw him, but that seemed more like lust at first sight. He was so hot it was hard to see how anyone could not want the handsome tiger.
She was getting herself off track, right back to wanting to sleep with Dom again. Gwen grabbed her phone and looked at her apps. Her eyes widened when she realized why she was having such a hard time. She was going into heat! Good thing she had that handy little phone app to tell her when it was happening. She was the worst at keeping track of her cycles.
No wonder she wanted Dom so bad and she was so emotional. She breathed a sigh of relief. She wasn’t losing her mind, and there was no need to question her choice of using LK Brides. Dom wasn’t her mate. He was just the best genetic material around town. Her tiger wanted to get knocked up by the best guy it could sniff out. That was Dom alright. When they were dating, Gwen would imagine how their cute little cubs would look. Not anymore. She had to nip this in the bud. She was going to stay as far away from Dom as she could the next two weeks. She would feel a lot better once she was her regular self again.
Her phone jumped in her hand, frightening her. She dropped it and had to scramble to pick it up before the call went to voicemail. “Hello?”
“We got a match!”
“What?” Gwen couldn’t believe her ears.
“We have a match,” Olivia repeated. “I told you it would happen.”
Gwen sat down hard. “Is it someone good?”
“He’s great.” Olivia’s excitement was audible. Gwen could see the blonde agent dancing around her office when the news came in. She always worked so hard for her clients. “He just joined the agency tonight and he only matched with your profile. It’s a 99.8% match.”
“Whoa. That’s
