I'm bound and determined to be the best beta I can, but my mate is distracting me and I don't even know her yet.
From a distance, I see her, scent her, watch her habits, and fall more in love with her every day, though we haven't made eye contact. The Alpha and the Coeur are conspiring to make the mate gaze happen, but I don't think Martha is ready.
I know Rev is my mate, but I won't give up my life or my career for anyone. He's old-fashioned and bull-headed. He will want my life to bend to his.
But this female bends for no one.
