"I have the ability to hide my mate-bond. So maybe I have found her, maybe I haven't," I shrug, looking away from her.
"Look for her please. She could be suffering right now trying to find you. Promise me you won't use that power anymore," Alyssa says, shifting so she was sitting on her legs and facing me.
"Alyssa, I-"
"Promise me," she frowns and I sigh, running a hand through my hair. "I promise," I whisper, looking into her eyes before closing mine to rid of the power. I opened them again to see her smiling at me and I smile back.
"Let's get you back to the pack before Justin kil-" I stopped when I lifted her up bridal style from the couch, feeling tingles on my arm where I held her legs. I knew she felt it too when she looked at me with widened eyes.

Alyssa was excited when she found out she had a mate, but what happens when she receives one touch; one tingle, from someone else? And what happens when her overprotective mate finds out?

Book 2 in the Rootbridge Pack series. You DON'T need to have read book 1 in order to enjoy this. You'll find a plot summary for An Alpha's Alpha (Book 1) in Chapter 1.
J, has been through a lot.
A harrowing upbringing was followed by her and her pack being chased by a murderous alpha, Caine, who was intent on owning and destroying J's Alpha, Cassidy.
Now, finally, after years of being on the run, J is...safe.
She's always been on the outside, a lone wolf with just enough humanity left to attach herself to Cassidy and her pack, but now she's being offered a life in a loving, safe pack, with friends who are practically family.
For anybody else it would be a good thing, a chance at happiness, but for J there's just one obstacle standing in her way: The King is dead, long live the King.
She may have killed Caine, but his pack need an Alpha and right now, they think it's her.
Realising the biggest threat to her pack is herself, J forces herself to leave and set out on her own.
She should have known it would never be that easy.
Whispers have travelled about Cassidy's protector. About the woman more wolf than most.
*
Alpha of the Blackoath pack, Logan Black, has been watching J for a while now.
Sure, he tried to stop himself but his wolf is obsessed and so is he. Knowing he can never truly have her, he resigns himself to being her unofficial stalker, protector and guardian angel.
So, when an underprepared alpha tries to capture her, he readies himself to go to her defence, but he should have known better.
As he watches J destroy the pack who'd been sent to capture her, he realises that maybe, just maybe, he's found the only wolf in existence strong enough to match him. Strong enough to be his mate.
Strong enough to kill him.
However, when it comes down to it, Logan can't quite bring himself to ask the woman of his dreams to end his life, so instead lets her go - and that's where it all goes wrong.
