Mine for Eternity [Council Enforcers] (Siren Publishing Classic) (19 page)

Ben smelled her coming and stilled himself to fight whatever she was about to give him. His mate entered the room and closed the door behind her. He could hear her heart rapidly beating from across the room. He watched as her shoulders tensed before she turned from the door and headed his way.

Not once had he seen his mate’s face, and it was killing him. He was a man used to getting what he wanted, and a mate was something he never wanted. Now, he was willing to give his last breath if she would just look up from behind her hair once and show him her eyes.

“I’m so sorry.”

Ben froze and stiffened at his mate’s touch on his arm. Her voice had been so low, he was sure if he hadn’t been a shifter, he wouldn’t have heard her. It was the first time she had ever spoken to him.

“Just fight it a little while longer. I’m trying to find a way to get you out of here,” she whispered as she injected him.

Relief flooded his body. His mate was trying to help him. She wasn’t betraying him. The last thing he saw before everything went black was a pair of large, almost violet eyes swimming with tears staring back at him.

I am a single mother of a very active young son and was blessed to be able to take off work and become a stay-at-home mom when he was born. When I am not driving him to soccer, karate, or one of the many activities that he participates in, you can find me curled up reading a romance novel, watching a movie, or writing.
