No. This can't be happening. It can't be real.
One second, I was arguing with Kit because he had to run and tattle on me to the king. The next second, Kit had met his mate. I was happy for my friend, despite how much of an a.ss I've been tonight. That didn't mean I was going to let him off the hook though. I was still going to make fun of him. I was in a mood tonight, and Kit is always an easy target. Like the little brother I never wanted.
However, I didn't get the chance. I had taken a breath, with words right on the tip of my tongue, but it all caught in my throat the moment I connected eyes with a man across the room. Everything else faded away. I couldn't hear the chatter in the room, or whatever Kit and his mate were saying. All of my focus was taken over by that man.
My mate.
