Colton- I enter the ballroom and I’m zeroed in on her. Emerson Black. She is stunning in that green dress. The way it hugs every curve of her body. A body that I’m currently seeing every man in the room looking at. Her hair is pulled away from her face showing her bare slender neck. A neck that is free of any mark of a mate to claim her. Every male in here wants her but she is spoken for. I feel it. I know she feels it. I’m closing in as I watch some guy escorting her to dancefloor. Diesel is ready to take control and remove his hand from our mate. I am trying to calm him and myself at the same time to no avail. ‘You have to calm down. We have to handle this right.’ ‘I want my mate. There is only one way to handle it. We go up to her and mark her right here in front of everyone.’
