"Where is she?" Leo said, his voice ragged as if he were having a hard ti himself back

"Too many humans here to tell," Mike said as he tilted his head back to sniff the air "They have her scentin multiple directions"

Dante passed a look to Ro up at the elevator He turned to stare as well, and saw no one but Darth Vader

"Did you see her?" he asked

Roreen alien"

"Arrr," Mike snarled "You’re worthless, Roets fixed on an alien when there’s a virgin pantheress in heat?"

"A mated one," Romeo shot back "Unlike you losers, my hormones are contained"

Dante sniffed and shook his head to clear it of her scent before his aniated him to the same childish antics as his twin brothers "Yeah, and I want to keep mine that way Frick and Frack, you’re on panther patrol Find her and keep her far away from me"

Mike and Leo exchanged evil grins before they bolted into the crowd

Dante rolled his eyes at their haste There were times when they really were losers

"Aren’t you the least bit interested?" Romeo asked as they headed for the elevators "It’s not every day we run across a virgin panther"

"Hell, no I’ll stick to hu I want is a mate who’ll cruise into my life once a year, screw my brains out for two days, then run off until she deliversyou and Dad sucks and I’ve raised enough siblings to never want to raise hed "Yeah, but for the record, it’s one helluva two days"

Dante shook his head at him "You can have it I’d rather take my pleasure where and when I find it"

He entered the elevator, then paused as he realized Ro him

"I’ll catch you later," he said

"You sure?"

Root in and pushed the button for his floor He stepped back against the glass and did his best to bring his body back under control

But it was hard

Every animal instinct he possessed demanded that he stalk this hotel until he located the feari Were-Hunter, the need to copulate with her was alaria were animals who could take human form, but at the end of the day, they were anihshod over their human sensibilities and it was the animal heart inside them that ruled them and their actions

What he needed was some time in his room where he could take his animal forh to be able to curtail his nature To control it He wasn’t about to let any woman have control over him

Especially not a pantheress

Pandora fuled to open her door

What was she going to do? The man in her elevator wasn’t Acheron And those had been panther ht another whiff of her…

She was doomed There was no way the animal inside her would refuse a virile ned supreme inside her If any male canate her, she would throw herself at him

Around humans, that i her ht be curious and enticed, but it would stand down to her human rationale

Around a Were-Panther, that animal need wouldn’t listen to reason It would pounce for a taste of the male

She would have no control!

A shadow fell over her

Pandora squeaked and jumped back as she looked up to see one of the men she’d seen downstairs This close to him, she couldn’t mistake his Panthiras attributes

His scent was undeniable

He was lean and powerful in huuarantee hiht his interest… even her own feminine senses reacted to hiht hi than his innate feral aria--the animal branch of then-species--while she was Arcadian, the huo of her room card, she crouched to attack and was a out to ot good news and bad news for you"

"And that is?"

He held his hand up so that she could see the geometric mark on his pale to copulate with him "I’m mated so you’re completely safe from me"

Pandora still wasn’t ready to trust him, but at least as a mated panther, he wouldn’t be able to have sex with her Once a Were-Panther male was mated, he was impotent around any feood news?"
