Shielded By My Mate

He'll shield her from any danger.  AnselNow that my brother has found his fated mate, it's lit a fire under me to find my own. I'm about to head out to do just that, when I hear gunshots in my backyard. When I go out to investigate, I see her. My curvy little mate. She's pinned down behind some trees, and I growl as I charge into the fight to save her. I shield her with my big body, an action that earns me a bullet wound to my shoulder, but I'm able to scare off the men and rescue my mate. Now I have my mate with me, but we have a bigger problem. How am I going to keep her safe when I'm injured myself? MiraWhen I wake up in the back of a moving truck, I know that I'm in trouble. I'm able to get free, and I run, but I don't make it far before they find me. That's when a strange man shows up. He saves my life, taking a bullet for me in the process. I know that I owe him everything. He says he only wants one thing from me.My heart.And the terrifying part?I think it already belongs to him.
