Excerpt
Samantha Demakis wrinkled her nose
at the barrage of scents coming from the Christmas hordes invading McCarran
International Airport. She swallowed a growl of frustration and tightened the
leash on her inner wolf. Everybody and their brother traveled for Christmas,
and she didn’t like being one of them. She should have stayed at Duke. Her gut
told her it was a mistake to come home.
Duke Medical School was her haven
away from all this crazy.
People jostled her from all angles.
Her rolling suitcase flipped over and she leaned back to right it. In the
process, someone snatched her blue leather jacket from the carpeted floor and
dashed away.
Shit. Really?
She straightened and scanned the
crowd in the direction the thief had run.
Nothing.
“Miss.”
Sam turned and looked to her left. Holy mother of hotness! Six and a half
feet of beautiful man, dressed in a muscle-hugging beige thermal shirt and army
camo pants, stood holding her royal-blue leather jacket. She curled her lips
into a smile. His scent was magnetic, and she hurried toward him.
“Thank you so much.” She reached
for the jacket, brushing her fingers along his hand on purpose. “I thought it
was gone for good.” His blue eyes widened just for a moment. A charge had
passed between them. She’d never felt anything like it before. Her wolf howled
and slammed against her consciousness. It took every scrap of will power not to
launch herself at him. The canine soul within her wanted him right now and so
did she. The mate connection between them was strong. No, no, no. I don’t want a mate right now.
“No problem, Miss…”
“Demakis, Sam Demakis, ummm…
Samantha. Sorry.” She stumbled over her name like a love-struck sixteen-year-old
instead of the perfectly capable twenty-five-year-old she was.
“Ask
his name.” Her wolf urged.
He gave her a gentle grin. “It’s
fine, Sam. Nice to meet you, I’m Chase Michaels.”
“I’m surprised I didn’t notice you
on the plane.” It was strange that she hadn’t caught his scent earlier. But it
was probably because she tried for the most part to avoid other wolves.
Chase chuckled. “I don’t tend to
ride in first class.”
Sam felt her cheeks warm. He’d known she was there. Maybe being
away from the pack really was making her lazy, but she loved not having to deal
with the stress of the politics.
“Thank you again,” she said and
found herself lost in his sparkling bright blue eyes. No, focus. Medical school, not a man.
