Excerpt from the Alpha's Onyx Fire
New Hope Valley Book Two
By Jess Buffett
Sage Ashcroft gritted his teeth against the cool winds blowing the falling snow. “Damn, it’s freezing.”
The fact the weather affected him at all was a testament to how cold it was. As a White Tiger shifter, the temperature rarely registered to him.
“You can say that again,” his brother, Chase muttered. “Why the hell are we out here anyway?”
He chuckled. “What’s wrong, little brother, the snow messing with your perfectly styled hair?”
Chase didn’t bother responding other than to flip him off and kept walking.
“And you know why,” he said seriously. “Aidan and his men keep encroaching on our territory. After the stunt they pulled with Summer and Evan I’m not putting up with it any longer.”
Aidan Morris led a group of misfit shifters a few hours north of New Hope Valley. Sage wouldn’t do the other man the honor of calling him Alpha. The man had no morals, and lacked any kind of leadership quality. As an Alpha himself, Sage didn’t understand how someone so cruel and vindictive could lead anyone. A few weeks back, Aidan had set a plan in motion, which involved his half-brother, Brad, attempting to rape Sage’s younger sister, Summer. When that failed, thanks to Summer’s mate, Evan, Brad returned one last time, trying to kidnap Summer and bring her to Aidan. All so their family could become part of this ridiculous prophesy.
His Pride had resided in New Hope from the moment it had been built, and there was no way in hell he was letting the likes of Aidan Morris to come in and hurt his people again. The man only brought trouble.
Bunching his jacket closer, he cursed the fact they couldn’t shift. Since they were so damn close to the line, Sage couldn’t do anything to provoke the bastard. Knowing Aidan, he’d run crying foul to their frigging council.
“So how long do we have to stay out here? And why?” Chase complained. “You’re the frigging Alpha, can’t you order someone else to do this shit?”
“That’s right, I’m the Alpha. I need to set an example.” He loved his brother dearly, but the man could whine better than any canine.
“Example, shmample,” his brother grumbled, kicking at the snow beneath his feet.
“Buck up, sunshine.” He slapped his brother on the back. “Rourke and Dominic should be here soon to take over.”
Sage continued to trudge through the mud and thick snow, thinking his two brothers, and Betas, couldn’t get here soon enough, if for no other reason than to shut Chase up.
“What has you in such a great mood anyway?” Chase asked, narrowing his gaze on him. “There is no way you’re this happy to be traipsing around the woods at this time of night, and in this weather. So what gives?”
He couldn’t contain his grin. “I found my mate.”
Chase halted in his tracks, mouth gaping wide. “And you're just telling me this now! Why the hell aren’t you with her? Where did you meet her? When do I get to meet her? Dude, start spilling.”
“Whoa,” he chuckled, holding his hands up in surrender. “I only just met her. She was lost and I helped her find her way into town.”
“That still doesn’t explain why you aren’t with her right now, getting all sexed up,” his brother snorted.
“No, but that right there explains why you don’t have a girlfriend,” he drawled, rolling his eyes at the other man.
“Why would I want a girlfriend? Or boyfriend?” Chase scoffed. “No way do I want to risk having one if I meet my mate.”
He winced. His brother had him there. They had seen the mess first hand with their cousin, Tony. Damn, that had been unpleasant to watch.
“Besides it’s not like I can just walk up to her and tell her she is my mate. She’s human.”
