“Of course she is, beautiful.” Cade looked to his wife. “From what I understand about big cat shifters, they don’t mate. At least not like wolves do. They imprint on their partner, a sort of chosen mating rather than the genetic mating we have. Maybe that’s it, in which case, well, let’s not go there. It’s probably that they’re together, but not imprinted. Makes it easier, and yet harder for Jack, I’d wager.” Cade tipped his chin in Jack’s direction. “I’ll call my grandmother to see what she thinks.”
Lia Warden was an elder of the Cascadia Pack and had been the Alpha before Cade and then her other grandson, Lex, took over. After years of knowing the woman, Jack was convinced she also had some serious magic-type mojo. She knew a hell of a lot about shifters and their history so she’d most likely have some answers. Answers would be good, give him more tools to blow Renee’s house down.
“Thanks, Cade.”
“I’ll call after dinner. With the time difference she should be home from her afternoon volunteer gig at Gabby’s school by then.” Gabby was one of the Warden nieces, the daughter of Cade’s brother, Lex, and his mate, Nina. They also had two sons and a house that was chaos personified. Jack wasn’t sure how Lex handled his bossy but undeniably sexy wife and all those high-energy kids, but the Alpha of the Cascadia Pack seemed quite happy with his lot in life, and that was what Jack wanted. Needed.

About the Author
The story goes like this: while on pregnancy bed rest, Lauren Dane had plenty of downtime, so her husband took her comments about “giving that writing thing a serious go” to heart and brought home a secondhand laptop. She wrote her first book on it before it gave up the ghost. Even better, she sold that book and never looked back.
Today Lauren is an award-winning New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author of over sixty novels and novellas across several genres.
