Thomas

Thomas Lanning likes things neat and orderly. He bought the house he grew up in and just about has everything remodeled the way he wants it. He's happy with the house and wants a mate someday…that day isn't today.
Linyah pops in to meet the Lanning Leap, she is expected, just not today. The last thing she expects to find is a huge handsome male who takes one look at her and he gets pissed off.
"This day just went from good to shit in a matter of heartbeats, didn't it? I don't suppose you have a mate, do you?" She shook her head. "Of course not. That would just make it too nice and easy. I wonder what else is in store for me. Plague? The bank go belly up?"
Linyah took a step back when he took one toward her. "I need to touch you."
"Thomas?" He turned them both to his mom. "Thomas, is she your mate? Is this your mate?"
Linyah isn't any happier than Thomas is. She has been very successful in avoiding any entanglements with a male until now. She has even managed to avoid, Timmer, a forced arrangement brought on by her sister, their Queen.
Even though Thomas isn't happy about Linyah's arrival, he's even less happy about Timmer. Linyah's his mate…
Timmer's been promised Linyah's hand by the Queen and isn't about to take "no" for an answer…
