him anyway? Her life was
in Orange County. She’d have to give up her shitty apartment and have to quit the job
she couldn’t even stand. She’d never see her friends who were in relationships and who
barely found time for her. She winced. The truth hurt. Giving up her life in Orange
County wouldn’t be difficult at all.
Mika sighed. If Grady wanted to mate her she’d go for it even if it was totally nuts
since she barely knew him. Giving up her life in California wouldn’t be a hardship and
she’d have a sexy hot man in her bed every night if he mated her. He had a job so he
wasn’t a loser and they could live in her house. It was probably bigger than his place
over his bar. Besides, she loved her house and had wanted to move in full-time once
before. Uncle Omar would have to accept it if she mated Grady.
Spinning away from the mirror, she was totally disgusted with herself for even
having those stupid thoughts. Grady didn’t want her that way so going over how nuts
it would be to mate with the guy was a moot point. Imagining little Grady babies was
just ridiculous. She bet that any kids she had with him would be damn cute and she
really wanted kids. Mika clenched her teeth and walked over to collapse heavily on her
bed.
Grady was a werewolf and she wasn’t. They were either born or brutally made. She
knew it was usually a deadly attempt when someone tried to turn a human into a
werewolf. Uncle Omar had explained that to her when she was a child and had wanted
to turn into a puppy and run with her uncle in his wolf form.
It was all about biting, blood loss, and near death to get someone to turn into a
werewolf. The bite would have to come from a werewolf in full wolf form. There had to
be massive blood loss and shock to the body, taking the person to death’s door, and
then there was just a slight chance the body would accept being turned. More died from
trauma than those who survived the attempted change. Uncle Omar said only about
one in twenty survived long enough to let the process take hold so their bodies could
heal to survive.
No. Even if she was willing to attempt being turned into a werewolf, and she
wasn’t, there was no way it would be allowed. Uncle Omar would kill anyone who
even suggested it. She really didn’t want to tie herself down to a man who wanted her
to be brutally bitten, with just a prayer that she’d survive. She realized chivalry had
died but she wanted a man in her life who would do anything to protect her from hurt.

Mate Set
The drawbacks to mating a werewolf as a human were well known to her. Her
parents had been harassed and not accepted by the pack. They’d moved away to avoid
it but Grady would never leave. She and Grady would have to deal with that kind of
mindset from the pack. The fact that he was alpha blooded would make him want a
werewolf woman even more. Pure-blooded mating made strong offspring. Any
children she had with Grady would probably be considered mutts in werewolf terms.
Unlike her parents, she would be raising shifters. Grady had alpha blood so all his
children would definitely be shifters, even with her, a mere human. She’d never have
that in common with her children. She’d always be different from them because she
couldn’t change into another form the way they could, and she’d have to learn how to
care for shapeshifter children.
She couldn’t be with Grady the way a werewolf woman could. No midnight runs
and no doggy sex while in four-legged bodies. She curled her lip at the thought of his
conversation on the phone. She bet that’s what he meant about animal sex with that
bitch and that was probably important to Grady. She’d overheard her uncle and Minnie
chuckling about how great sex was between them in Other form. It had grossed her out
but she wasn’t able to see their perspective of it.
Mika couldn’t forget what Minnie had told her either. Grady was Elroy’s bastard
child and his
