last time before leaving his porch. Dom opened the door and watched her peel out of his driveway. She left a cloud of black smoke and screeching tires in her wake.
    He’d known she was going to get mad, but not this mad. Nothing to be done about that, he decided. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. He expected to get an email from a very confused Olivia in the morning. Didn’t matter. He was in the clear here. He’d only applied to LK Brides because Rachel had told him about it. Now, the waitress was going to feel mighty guilty about telling him to do that.
    Dom was hoping Rachel would also feel sorry for him. He would wait a day or two before going back to Two Wolves. If he knew anything about Gwen, news of his “cheating” was going to be all over town by the time people were pouring their morning coffee.
    ***
    Gwen went to her house and kicked more stuff. She screamed, she tore at her hair, but it didn’t do any good. She couldn’t believe it. Dom was lucky he hadn’t opened his door. She was angry enough to rip him to shreds. Or at least bite him a little. The asshole had cheated the system. Gwen didn’t know what his game was, but she didn’t think it was the least bit cute.
    He thought he was being romantic or something. He wasn’t. She was serious about finding a mate. He had never shown any interest in being a husband and father until now. It was like he had woken up the morning before and decided it was time to find a wife. Maybe he’d found a gray hair and was feeling his mortality? Gwen didn’t know. None of it made any sense.
    Olivia had told her there was no way to cheat. Unless Dom knew how Gwen had answered the questionnaire, there was no way for him to match her answers. He could try, of course, but it was very unlikely to succeed. Olivia thought Dom was a nice guy. He’d given such a moving toast at the wedding, she’d told Gwen. How could he be a bad guy? Gwen wondered how sweet on him Liv would be when she found out he was screwing a girl barely out of high school.
    She was too mad to sleep, so she waited for the sun to come up. Mark Lunar at Two Wolves was flipping the sign to “Open” when she parked her car in the diner’s parking lot. Gwen was their first customer of the morning.
    “Morning, Gwen.” Mark yawned widely. “Can I get you a cup of coffee and a menu?”
    “Rachel can help me.” Gwen spotted the waitress in back and sat at the counter.
    “Getting off late?” Rachel asked from the back as she tied her apron.
    “I got off a few hours ago. I was too mad to sleep.”
    Rachel came out and poured Gwen a hot cup of coffee and set a pitcher of creamer in front of her. “What’s wrong?”
    “Man troubles.”
    Rachel nodded sympathetically. “Dating is tough.”
    “Actually, this isn’t about dating. It’s my LK match.”
    “Oh?”
    “Yeah. From the sound of it, you had a hand in this one.”
    “What?” Rachel looked alarmed. “I’ve never even signed up with the agency. I’ve only met that Olivia woman twice.”
    “This isn’t an Olivia thing. It’s a Dom thing.”
    Understanding dawned on Rachel’s face and her eyebrows shot up. “He didn’t!”
    Gwen nodded. “I don’t know how he did, but yes, Dom cheated. He and I got matched up.”
    “That bastard! I’m so sorry, Gwen. I only told him to sign up with the agency because he seemed so sad. I thought it would help him get some direction in his life. I thought all shifters needed to find a mate.”
    “Not all of us. Some people don’t have mates and some prefer to be alone.”
    “Like Kai.”
    “Exactly. Some of us don’t want to find someone.”
    Rachel crossed her arms. “You think Dom’s one of those people? He seems to be putting a lot of effort into wooing you here.”
    “That’s not the point. If we were mates, I would know. He’s trying to force the issue.”
    “Maybe you don’t want to accept that he’s your mate.” Mark sat down next to Gwen at the counter. His eyes were bloodshot.
