Two Marks Pack Rule: Always mate in pairs. I caught her scent when I was on enforcer business. Knew she must be the one. I brought my alpha back with me. Because our bloodline mates in pairs. Two males for every she-wolf. The one we’re going to spoil and protect. Carry off to make a home together. Just as soon as we convince her she belongs to us. \* This short story is a prequel to the Two Marks series. It originally appeared in the Dirty Daddies Anthology!

We see a female, we want her. But she’s a wolf biologist prepared to expose us to the world. We scent a female, we claim her. Except we can’t claim the one who could destroy our pack. We touch a female, we give her two marks. Yet we can’t mark her without sharing everything. Because in the Two Marks pack, shifters share. Two cowboys for every mate. If she can ever be ours. Renee Rose and Vanessa Vale are back with more steamy shifter cowboys! Be sure to read the Wolf Ranch series, then swing by Two Marks, Wyoming because you know it’s going to be hot. Possessive. Wild. Times two. Everything you want in romance… and more.

I crave her scent. I can’t stay away. Nothing can keep me from claiming the new waitress at the diner. Except for her other mate, the scent match I didn't know existed. He's a stranger to me and our pack, but now we must work together. Two mates for our female. Our mate is human, untouched. She doesn't know about our kind. We must convince her to accept not one, but two mates. Two cowboys in her bed. Two dominant wolves to protect her. And my scent match's wolf is turning feral with need. We touch our mate. We can’t get enough. We need to claim her and mark her as ours before his wolf goes mad. She’s a virgin, so we have to be careful—shifters can be rough. And we're not the only ones who want her—she's being hunted by another male. But I will protect her if it’s the last thing I do. Even if it means keeping her from her other mate.

TWO MARKS PACK RULE: DON’T MIX WITH RANCHERS In Wyoming, we’re the law. We keep the pack’s secret—and our wolves—safe from our neighbors, the ranchers. Then we meet her. The one we’ve been waiting for. Our mate. Only she’s a rancher—the nemesis of our pack. Worse, she’s the daughter of a wolf hunter. When danger encroaches on her land, we’re sent to investigate. We want to protect her. To prove to her we’re exactly what she needs. But she may be part of an illegal operation. And now she knows we’re more than two rugged cowboys bent on making her ours, which means she could destroy not just us, but the entire pack. Regardless of the truth, we must claim her. Our lives depend on it. One way or another we’ll have her. Or die trying.
