"Colton! Don't break them! I have to fix them!" she admonished with her hands on her hips.

Colton shrugged and glared at Sascha who was holding his bleeding nose, tilting his head back.

Sascha held up his other hand in surrender. "I deserved that one, Doc," he admitted, sounding nasally.

"Men! You!" She pointed to Colton. "Waiting room. Now. You need to be far enough away so that you can't hear what's being discussed. Haven't you ever heard of HIPAA?"

"Now that's being mean, baby, I know Sascha's a big boy, but he's a tiger, not a hippo," Colton said grinning.

"Out!" she yelled, pointing to the door.

Colton went to turn and leaned in close to the Gamma Unit leader. "You touch her, I'll kill you."

"I won't be touching her pup, she'll be touching me," Sascha teased.

Colton growled and walked out of the examination room. The bastard flipped him off and slammed the door in his face.

Grumbling he stalked back to the front and threw himself into a chair. Without saying anything to the men staring at him he picked up his snack from Rheia's bag and started munching on his cinnamon rolls.

"Um, Colton..." Colton looked up to see Keelan standing near the front entrance. He waved him over and when he sat down, offered him one of his cinnamon rolls.

"Sorry I growled at you."

"No worries, it must have sounded terrible from your side," Keelan admitted.

"It did."

They sat in silence eating their rolls.

Colton kept turning his head and staring down the hallway. He knew Rheia would never betray him, but the idea of her touching other males made his skin crawl. Savagely he bit into his last roll. The more he thought about Sascha's satisfied smirk they more pissed he became. Again, he knew Sascha would never even think about making a pass at Rheia, but he was in there with his mate, had her undivided attention and was being touched by her.

"Colton, you're growling again," Keelan whispered.

Colton looked over to Keelan and an idea began to form. He looked up and saw that most of the Gamma Unit were patiently waiting for their leader to come out, so that they could resume their patrol around the clinic.

"Hey, Keelan."

"Yeah?"

"Have any good revenge ideas?" Colton asked, his eyes flicking to Quinn, then down the hall to where Sascha was.

Keelan's eyes grew bright and he nodded, his own eyes turning to look at Quinn.

Colton knew that Quinn and Sascha were the ones responsible for turning the young witch purple right after Beth moved in. It looked like it was time Gamma was reminded why they were called the Alpha Unit.

CHAPTER TEN

"Okay, you're free to go. Try not to antagonize Colton on your way out."

Sascha grinned. "I make no promises. See ya later, Doc." He hopped down off the examination table and left the room.

Rheia shook her head. After Colton left, Sascha became the epitome of a perfect gentleman. It was good to know that the unit warriors in Lycaonia were as close as her brothers were at home. Thinking of Radek and the others, she pulled out her cell phone and dialed his number.

"Rei?" Radek answered on the first ring.

"Hey, Radek."

"Where in the fuck have you been? I have been waiting for a phone call for days!" he shouted.

Rheia pulled the phone away from her ear. She had meant to call him sooner, but it had been a hectic couple of days.

"I'm sorry, Radek, I found myself running for my life with my child to an unknown paranormal city where I discover I'm mated to a wolf of all things. Then there's been a break-in here at the clinic and now Penny's grandparents want custody, so I am really fucking sorry I didn't call sooner," Rheia ranted.

"You're mated to a wolf?" the disdain in his voice was clear.

"That's all you heard?"

"No, I heard everything else, of course, and we'll get to that in a second, but first I want to know who thinks they're good enough to be your mate."

"Colton Albright." Even saying his name made her smile.

"Shit, you've already fallen for him." Radek chuckled.

Rheia's mouth dropped. "What makes you say that?" she demanded.

"You should hear the way you say his name, you're a goner. We'll have to visit soon so I can show that pup exactly how loved you are and tell him exactly what will happen to him if he hurts you," he grumbled.

"She's mated to Colton?" she heard Levi ask in the background; evidently Radek had put her on speaker.

"Yup," Radek answered.

"I thought for sure she'd end up with a vampire," Marco chimed in.

"Guys, quiet!" Radek boomed. When he came back to her his voice was gentle. "Now, what is this about Penny?"

Rheia felt her throat close. "Oh Radek, I think I've made a horrible mistake. I wanted Penny to meet her family, if she had any here in Lycaonia, now they want custody." She made the mistake of sniffling.

"We can be there in five hours. Just say the word Rei," Radek promised.

"It takes at least eight to drive down here," she reminded him.

"No, it takes you eight hours to drive down there. It would take Athan five hours, especially after I tell him the clinic where you worked has had a break-in."

"What!" she heard the men's voices break out into chaos in the background. For a moment, the men were talking all at once, mostly saying they were coming to Lycaonia to kick someone's ass. She'd missed this. Suddenly she wondered how Colton would fit into their small family. She smiled, he was such a jokester he'd probably drive Radek crazy. It could be fun.
