Free All Kitten Aside: BBW Paranormal Shape Shifter Romance (Paranormal Dating Agency Book 11) by Milly Taiden Page A

front of her house so he was sure she was home. He hopped out of the vehicle and walked to the front door but stopped himself from knocking. The sound of yelling from the back of the house got his attention.
    He motioned for Spike to be quiet and started around the house with his friend in tow. Spike frowned, but he shook his head. No way was his beta gonna fuck this up for him by trying to talk him out of it. They went around back and stopped at the scene of Andi surrounded by women.
    “I don’t know what you want to hear from me,” Andi snapped, her lioness making herself known with the rough quality of her voice. “I told you I haven’t encouraged any of the men to think they’re going to lead this pride with me. I, “she hissed, “and I alone am the Prima.” She glanced around the women surrounding her along with the men at the women’s backs. “I don’t need any of them for a mate.”
    One of the men, a younger guy with too much cockiness from what Kasen could see, shoved forward. “You do need a mate, though, Andi.”
    Andi gave him a glare that made Kasen proud. She wouldn’t be pushed. That’s my girl.
    “My decision on who to choose as a mate is my own. I don’t need anyone to remind me of my job.” She took a step toward the guy. There was no fear in her gaze. Kasen had no doubt of her alpha status. She exuded power and strength. “ I’m the prima here. Don’t any of you forget that.”
    The cocky moron took another step, getting way too close to her. Kasen was glad he’d been watching. Andi’s features pulled tightly across her face. The partial shift was one he was well aware of and able to control. Not many could. She hissed and raked her claws in a quick X across the guy’s face and chest.
    The movement was so fast, even the guy seemed shocked, his jaw hanging open and his eyes wide. He tried to move away, fumbling back a step. He blinked and blood dripped down the right side of his face. The pristine white T-shirt he wore hung in ribbons off his left side while soaking up the blood from his wounds.
    “Ah!” The guy screamed too little too late when he realized what happened. A hush fell over the crowd. No one moved a muscle. Here was their prima reminding them who was in charge. Miranda relaxed enough for her hands to turn human again. Her gold-rimmed irises sparkled with the power of her feline.
    “Holy fuck,” Spike whispered.
    That was probably the sexiest thing Kasen had ever seen. She glanced around the group, one brow raised high, and pushed her hair away from her face. He couldn’t wait to fuck her again. Right there. Outside. In the middle of her fucking yard, where everyone could see him taking her. His mate. He’d come so hard, she’d swell with their young.
    “Someone needs to get laid,” Spike joked in a hush.
    Another man, a bigger one this time, stepped forward. Kasen saw the lust etched in his features. “Fine. So who are you going to choose? We’ve waited long enough for you to make a decision.”
    Kasen didn’t stop to think. This motherfucker wanted her. Not in this lifetime. She might deny it from here to eternity, but she and Kasen had unfinished business. Mate business. This asshole wasn’t going to pressure his girl. All he wanted was all of them to back off his woman. To leave her the fuck alone. He marched forward and could hear Spike behind him warning him to stay out of it. Too fucking late.
    She glanced at him. A vice grip went around his heart at the look of lust and need she gave him. She probably didn’t even realize she’d done it, but he saw it. It encouraged him to do what he was about to.
    “Who’s this dog, Miranda?” an old woman asked. There was a younger female standing next to her staring wide-eyed at Kasen.
    “I ask that you respect my guest,” Andi fired, her voice soft, but deadly hard with enough bite to make him grin. “We are all adults. There is no need for name calling, Shantelle.”
    The crowd parted, no longer a tight
