Part 30 (2/2)
Fraser answered, ”If Finn picked her out, then we should trust that he chose a good one.”
”You're right, son,” Lorna answered. She waved toward the living room. ”Now, go get that ice cube.”
”Fergus is closer. He could just toss it over.”
Fergus looked back at his stack of papers. ”Get it yourself.”
With a sigh, Fraser moved toward the living room. ”You were always a lazy sod.”
Fergus looked up. ”Takes one to know one. But at least this lazy sod is about to get his own cottage.”
Lorna's voice drifted into the living room. ”It's about time. One down, two more to go.”
Fraser scooped up the ice cube and faced his mother. ”Don't worry, Mum. You'll always have me. If I'm lucky, I won't have a mate until I'm fifty.”
Fergus chimed in. ”She'll kick you out on your a.r.s.e before then.”
”I'm feeling the love, brother.”
Fergus looked up with a grin. ”Someone has to love you, you unlovable b.a.s.t.a.r.d.”
Tossing the ice cube into the sink, Fraser dried his hands. ”You know you'll miss me, Fergus. I give it a week and then you'll be begging for my company.”
”We'll see, Fraser. If I'm lucky, I'll be spending a week in my sacrifice's bed.”
The thought of not seeing his twin every day did something strange to his heart. Brus.h.i.+ng past it, Fraser headed toward the door. ”As much as I'd love to stay and watch you read boring protocol, I'm going to watch some paint dry instead.”
Fergus raised an auburn eyebrow. ”What happened to spending time with your brother?”
”I never said anything about spending time with you. I wanted to show you a good time. The offer's still open if you're interested.”
Shaking his head, Fergus answered, ”Your good times always result in us waking up in strange places and not remembering the night before. I think I'll stay here.”
Fraser shrugged. ”Your loss.” He looked to his mum. ”I'll be home for dinner, don't worry.”
Lorna answered. ”You'd better be. Finn wants us to have a quiet dinner with Holly and help ease her into her new life here.”
”Quiet is a bit of a stretch.”
Lorna picked up an apple and tossed it at his head. Once he caught it, she answered, ”Just get your a.r.s.e home on time.”
Fraser winked. ”I'll try my best, but you know how the la.s.ses love me.”
Not wanting to hear his mother's lecture about settling down for the hundredth time, Fraser ducked out the front door.
While the human wouldn't be over to their house until dinnertime, she was due to arrive on Lochguard at any moment. He had known that Fergus wouldn't want to go out, but asking gave Fraser the perfect cover and no one would suspect what he was about to do.
It was time to spy on his brother's future female and make sure she was worthy of a MacKenzie.

Reclaiming the Wolf.
(Cascade s.h.i.+fters #1).
Female wolf-s.h.i.+fter clan leaders are rare, but Kaya Alexie thrives on the challenge and can handle anything the men of her pack throw her way. However, when the male cougar-s.h.i.+fter who broke her heart ten years ago shows up on her doorstep with a dead wolf-s.h.i.+fter in tow, her whole world goes off-kilter. She's determined to ignore him, but when a virus threatens to decimate her clan, she has no choice but to work with her ex and his brother to survive.
Sylas Murray is sent by his brother to ask for the wolves' help in solving the mystery of a recent wolf-s.h.i.+fter attack. There are a few problems, however. Not only is he a cougar-s.h.i.+fter among a pack of wolves, the clan leader is also his ex-girlfriend. To say they had a bad break-up would be putting it mildly-Sy's actions nearly destroyed the truce his clan had with the wolf-s.h.i.+fters. But as a virus threatens the GreyFire wolves, Sy and Kaya must put aside their past to find a cure.
As they work together and race against the clock, Sy starts to wonder why he let Kaya go in the first place. Despite their past, will he be able to reclaim the wolf that captured his heart and start over?
