Two “ Look , I’m not going in there without someone at my back , ya ’ get me ? ” Oz was pacing the length of Gil’s office , throwing everything he had at the Leader of the DPA to get out of going to the FPU . Or , more to the point , having to see London again . “ You won’t let me have Abe , so I’m taking Ben . ” “ No , you’re not . ” “ Then you better get on the horn and call your baby brother back in , ‘ cause my scaly butt ain’t going into enemy territory without backup . ” “ Could you be any more dramatic ? They are not the enemy . We’re on the same side for cripes ’ sakes , ” Gil sighed . “ I swear to the Heavens when did you get to be such a big baby . ” “ When that sexy redhead grabbed him by the dick and shook the brains right outta his head , ” Abe laughed out loud as he strutted into the room . “ You were there . You saw the train wreck . Our boy shit and fell in it . ” Spinning around , ready to tell one of his oldest friends to kiss his ass , Oz stopped short and growled , “ Who the hell are you ? ” Obviously a Dragon and most definitely old and powerful , the tall blond with a Navy SEAL tat on his right forearm stepped forward and held out his hand . “ Name’s Rene , Rene Malveaux , but everybody calls me King ‘ cause I grew up in the Swamp and my daddy’s nickname was Prince .

His hands shook with the need to snatch her out of that chair , throw her over his shoulder , and lock her away from the violence he knew with all certainty was coming for them all . “ And after she scratches out my eyes and neuters us both , what then , Big Guy ? Dickless would not be a good look for either of us . ” But there had to be an answer … a compromise in the four - alarm shit storm brewing right in front of him . “ Compromise ? Did I really just think that ? I effin ’ hate that word . Dad always said it was a poor leader who compromised and called it winning . ” Was dear old dad , right ? Did it fucking matter ? London had gotten under his skin . Her thoughts drilled into his brain . Her heart wrapped around his own . She became part of his soul at first sight whether he wanted it or not . He could fight it . Had beat the odds before , but did he want to ? Was it worth it ? Hell , he was already falling in love with the sassy , stubborn , intelligent , sexy - as - hell Bobcat … and the woman was just as tantalizing . Her pain beat at his soul . Her fear fed his fury . Her strength humbled him as nothing before ever had . His Bobcat was a force of nature . She turned everything he thought he knew inside - out and upside - down . For the first time since he was a hormone - crazed teenager , Oz had no fucking clue what to do . No , he didn’t want a Mate . Hell no , he absolutely did not want a partner . Too many times over the years , in too many battles all over the world , in more eras , centuries , and decades than he cared to remember , partners were the ones he’d buried . It was their faces that haunted his dreams ~ both sleeping and waking .
