Incoming Call

Greta's eyes flew wide when she looked at her phone and saw her brother's name. "Oh Goddess, it's Graeme," she said, shifting her alarmed eyes to her mate. A beat passed before Sam walked forward to where Greta could feel the physical heat of him, but that comfort only slowed her heart briefly before it sped up again as she wondered what to do.

It was rare that Greta found herself in the unsteady position of having few answers, and the fact that this particular dilemma included her brother and his mate amplified her discomfort considerably.
