eager, female flesh.  You’d think you’d be a little more excited.”
                  “We could walk around together,” Holt suggested. “Might speed up the process.  That way if we find the right one--”
                  “I am sincerely hoping we don’t find the right one until the last day of the festival. Or next year, for that matter. What’s wrong with sampling all the wares first?”
                  “Ass,” Holt snorted. “Once we find her, we won’t want anyone else’s wares, no matter how tasty they might be.”
                  “Exactly. That’s why I don’t need to rush it. I’m perfectly happy with the way things are.”  Clayton headed for the door. “West side it is, then. Try to force yourself to have fun, Captain Buzzkill.” The door banged shut behind him.
                  Holt shook his head, watching through the window as his brother strode off towards the festival grounds. He hoped that he could make himself get in the mood. He’d been in an odd state since he’d woken up that morning. He’d felt itchy and restless and impatient, as if he was anticipating something that was going to happen.
                  His mother had always told him that he’d been the more sensitive one. He had a sixth sense, knowing when things were going to occur before they did. On many occasions, he’d been able to steer pack members out of danger because of it – or catch the Red River pack attempting to cross over onto their land.
                  With a sigh, he tossed his backpack on his bed and walked out to face the day. He really should be more excited, he told himself.
                  Hell with it. Maybe a couple of ice cold beers would help. Or something a little harder.Whisky, straight up. Now that he could get excited about.
                  As he headed east, a sexy blonde walked up to him, matching his stride.  She wore tight jeans, high heeled boots, and a fringed leather halter top.  He didn’t slow down, and she had to walk fast to keep up with him.
    “Hello, handsome,” she purred at him. “Are you ready for a fun week?”
                  “I’m here, anyway.” He nodded politely, but without invitation. He wasn’t in the mood yet.
                  She kept pace with him. “I saw your brother. He’s soooo hot. I sure could enjoy getting to know the both of you better.”
                  Holt glanced at the path that his brother had taken, and pointed at his brother’s retreating back. “Go introduce yourself,” he suggested. “He’s always up for a good time.”
                  She pouted, fluttering her long lashes at him. “I’d love to get to know the both of you better at the same time.”
                  He suppressed a snort of ridicule at that. Right.The both of them. So that they could start the bonding process, and become psychically linked, and then she’d be their Forever Mate whether they liked it or not.
                  Did she think they were both stupid? Or did she think that because she was attractive, he and his brother would fall all over her at the chance to mate with her? It wasn’t as if Alphas had a hard time finding sex partners at the Alpha Claiming Festival.  It was more like they had a hard time choosing who to mate with first.  And he and his brother would never go for a woman who’d try to manipulate herself into being their Forever Mate.
                  Although many of the women just came to the Alpha Claiming Festival to have a good time, a lot of them wanted the prestige of being the mate of an Alpha, to say nothing of having twin mates instead of single mates.
                  However, the process of selecting a Forever Mate was not something to be taken casually – especially given the consequences of selecting the wrong mate. It
