Oh yeah.

Best damn experience of my life.

Hands down.

No contest.

Waking up to the sound of someone breaking into my house while a woman screams like she just saw a murder scene?

Not so much.

Especially when I know two very important things:

One—my mate is currently naked.

Two—she’s on the rug with me.

Which means whoever just walked in?

Is about to have a very bad day.

The second I hear the door click followed by a high-pitched shriek, my eyes snap open.

My Tiger is up instantly.

No warm-up.

No easing into it.

Just—threat.

“Oh my Gods! Hadley! What has this beast done to you?!”

What the fuck?

Yeah. That does it.

I’m off our makeshift bed in a heartbeat, already moving, already ready to tear into whoever thought it was a good idea to come into my house uninvited.

I hit the living room with a full-throated snarl—and stop just short of lunging.

Because standing there?

Is a group of strangers.

In my fucking house.

With my naked mate.

Oh, fuck no.

Not acceptable.

Grrr.

I take them in with one glance and my hackles are more than raised—they’re ready for battle.

One man.
