three hours away? You tell them to keep away from me Mel. If I see them anytime soon I'm gonna kill them.” Sara warned. Melissa had one final bit of knowledge that she had to share with Sara. “Sara there is something you should know about werewolves. If they cannot be with their mate, they will eventually die of a broken heart. You have to give them a chance to get to know you and you them. Please Sara, give them a chance. What if they come to you rather than expecting you to come to them? Would you give them a chance to court you?” Sara gave a large sigh at the inevitable. She was going to have to spend time with the two dominant overbearing men. There was no way she would let them suffer; to have them eventually die because of her. “Okay, I'll concede to spending some time with them; but tell them to give me a week before they show up. I need to get my head around all of this Mel, please?” “Okay honey. I won't give them your address for a week and I'll threaten Damian and Luke with no sex so they won't tell your address to Tony and Chase either,” Mel chuckled evilly. “It works every time.” “Thanks Mel, I love you. Speak to you soon,” Sara 18 disconnected the call to her sister and pushed the thought of the two hunky werewolves to the back of her mind. She set about doing some chores before she went back to work tomorrow. She put a load of washing on and then cleaned her apartment from top to bottom. Then she set about cooking a few meals in the afternoon, so all she had to do when she came home from work during the week, was to place a prepared meal in the microwave. When she finally sat down, it was early evening. She watched the news headlines as she ate a piece of her home made vegetable lasagna and sipped a glass of chardonnay. She didn't see or hear the man lurking outside her living room window. If she had, she would have been on the phone to the police in a shot. The man who watched her was very creepy. He had long greasy black hair with the palest blue eyes ever seen. He was mesmerized by the female. He watched her and rubbed his erection through his tight black jeans with a leer attached to his acne scarred face. *** Sara spent the week in her usual routine of going to work and spending any of her spare time researching for the partners of the law firm for the cases they were working on. She was on her laptop late Friday night when she heard a knock on her door. Sighing at the interruption, she stretched out her cramped muscles and headed to answer the door. Making sure the security chain was attached; she opened the door to a stranger. “May I help you?” Sara asked cautiously. “Yeah my car broke down out front and I was wondering if I could use your phone to call a friend?” The man said politely. “Sure, just a moment,” Sara replied closing the front door. She went to retrieve her mobile. There was no way she was letting that creepy man into her apartment. She opened the door again, enough to pass her mobile 19 through the crack with the security chain still in place. It all happened within seconds. The man grabbed her wrist instead of her phone and kicked the door in. The edge of the door slammed into the side of Sara's face and she saw stars as pain exploded in her head. She fell to her knees on the floor. The stranger was already in her apartment before she regained her senses enough to realize what had happened. He grabbed her wrist again and dragged Sara across the entry way into her living room where he practically threw her onto the sofa. “Where are your mates? I know they don't live here. Their scent is not in this apartment.” he asked in a gravelly evil voice. The tone made her shiver in fright. “I don't know what you're talking about. Who are you? What do you want?” Sara asked trying to keep her voice from wavering with the fear she felt. “Don't you know what happens to claimed women who don't live with their mates?” Sara gasped in
