Her Rockin' Shifter (Shifter World - Book Twelve) (Series of 13 Short Stories)

Almost everyone around them gasped with shock.

Dustin chuckled as he punched the man in the shoulder, sending him backward.

Akan laughed as he winked at Shar. “I can see what he sees in you.”

“Get your own mate.” Dustin said as he pulled Shar away from the man. But he didn’t look pissed at all, none of the Kraftman brothers did.

“Yeah, well, I doubt the Goddesses made a man just for me.” Akan said with a grin.

“What?” The others asked.

Akan chuckled. “Gotcha.” He said, then winked at everyone.

“He’s just a prankster.” Dustin whispered in Shar’s ear. “He means nothing by it.”

“Just an annoying asshole.” Marry-Beth said as she punched her brother in the arm.

“Ouch, Sis. Sheesh. Dustin and the boys knew I was just messing with them.”

“Don’t mind him.” Marry-Beth said with annoyance. “I have always said that our parents should have left him on the side of the road.”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah.” Akan said with a roll of his eyes. “I’d have found my way home anyway.” He said, then looked at the others around them and whistled. “When are you going to find your Fated Mate, Sis?”

Allora sucked in a breath, then kicked him in the shin.

“Ouch.” Akan said as he grabbed his shin. “You know I love you.” He said as he winked at her.

Allora shrugged as Marry-Beth pulled her into her arms.

“Anyways.” Marry-Beth said as she watched her friends. “Allora and I, have decided to get married.”

The bar erupted in cheers of excitement, and all the women hugged Marry-Beth and Allora.

“Hey, don’t I get a hug too?” Akan asked as he watched all the women hug his sister and her girlfriend.

Shar looked at him. “You already got a kiss from me.”

He grinned at her. “That I did. And I would love…” He didn’t get to finish.

Dustin grabbed him by his shirt and lifted him off his feet. “I let it slide the first time, punk.”

Akan grinned. “No worries, mate.” He said in a near-perfect Australian accent.

Dustin rolled his eyes as he dropped him. “You will never grow up, will you?”

Akan shrugged. “Maybe in a hundred years.”

“You’re already over two hundred.” Marry-Beth said with a groan.

Everyone laughed, and Akan grinned, then kissed his sister’s cheek.

“When’s the wedding?” Shar asked as she turned back to Marry-Beth and Allora.

“We were hoping next spring.” Allora said with a smile.

“And you’re all invited.” Marry-Beth said with a grin.

“Fuck!” A booming voice echoed through the bar.

Everyone turned when they heard a crash on the stage.

“Kota!” Pearl hollered as she ran to the stage, where her brother was tangled in the drum set, he had landed on.

“What the hell, man?” Sebastian asked as he jumped up onto the stage and helped Pearl with her brother.

“Have you seen Father?” Kota asked as he looked at his sister, while they tried to pull him out of the mess he had made of the drums.

“There’s another set in the back.” Dustin said as he helped Sebastian with the now broken drums.

“No, I haven’t seen Father in a while.” Pearl said as she looked into her brother’s crazed eyes. Something was definitely wrong.

“Mother Fucker.” Kota mumbled.

“What’s wrong?” Pearl asked as she held onto her brother’s arm.

Kota looked into his little sister’s eyes. She doesn’t know about Amelia and their daughter. Maybe he should tell her… He shook his head. Later. He needs to find their father first. He needs to move them. Lucifer is going after them.

His mother had found a way to get a message to him. He may have never met the woman, but she has sent him messages, here and there. And this one warned him that Lucifer was on the prowl, and knows about his family.

“I need to find Father.” He said as he moved past her and jumped off the stage.

“Kota!” Pearl hollered as she chased after her brother.

“Everything all right?” Dylan asked his brother-in-law as he stepped in front of the man.

Kota nodded, then shook his head. “I need to find my father.”

“Kota.” Pearl said as she stopped beside her brother. “What is going on?”

Kota looked at his sister. “I will tell you soon. If you see Father, tell him it’s an emergency.” He said, then he was gone.

Pearl blinked. “What in the world?”

“We should call your father.” Dylan said as he pulled his mate close and held her.

She numbly nodded as she pulled out her phone and hit the speed dial for her father’s number.

“No answer.” She whispered as she hung up the phone.

“The Bar opens in fifteen minutes. We need the drums replaced.” Shar said as she headed for the stage. Whatever was going on with Kota, she was sure the half Demon would let them know when he was ready.

“Come on.” Dylan said as he pulled his mate to the stairs. “I think some time with Ruby and her mate will help.”

Pearl nodded. He was right. Their daughter always cheered her up.

~🎸~

“Five minutes!” Sharissa hollered as she watched the men set up the new drum set.

“I knew this would come in handy.” Dustin said with a grin as they finished.

Shar smirked at her mate. “Yeah, like you knew Kota was going to break the other one.”

Dustin shrugged his shoulders. “With this crazy ass family, you never know.”

~🎸~

“Didn’t you play this song last night?” Dylan hollered as he threw a tomato at Sebastian on the stage.

“Dylan!” Shar hollered at her brother.

Dylan chuckled as he ducked a flying cymbal. It implanted in the wall behind him and Shar screeched as she looked up at the stage.

“You’re going to pay to fix that!” Shar hollered at Sebastian, who hadn’t even stopped singing, while all that was going on.

Sebastian gave Shar two thumbs up, then turned back to the crowd, who were laughing and cheering.

“Tomatoes and cymbals, I like this place.” Akan said with a grin.

“You won’t like it when Shar nails your balls to the wall.” Daryl said with a laugh.

“I don’t know, I might…” Akan laughed as he dodged Dustin’s fist.

“Is it me, or does Sebastian’s voice sound better every time he sings?” Josie asked with a sigh as she watched their amazing friend, who could sing better than Elvis himself.

“If I didn’t know better, I would be jealous.” Dominic said with a laugh.

“The only thing you’ve got to be jealous of, is his voice, Mafilio.” Josie said as she turned and smiled at her mate.

Dominic rolled his eyes as he pulled his mate closer to his side.

“Oh look, he’s doing his guitar solo.” Shar said with a grin as she watched Sebastian rock it, on the stage.

A commotion in the back of the bar had them all turning. A woman stood just inside the bar; her eyes locked on the stage. The Fated Mates sniffed the air and smiled.

“Fated Mate.” Daryl whispered.

“Hey there, sexy. Why don’t you join me?” A Wolf Shifter said as he took hold of the new Fated Mate’s hand and pulled her towards him.

The woman pulled on her arm, her eyes never leaving the stage.

“Mine.” Everyone heard the word, as Sebastian said it over the mic, and his band stopped playing. “Hands off.” He growled.

The Wolf paid him no attention as he continued to pull the woman towards him.

With a feral growl, Sebastian jumped off the stage and moved quickly towards his mate. Her eyes were a beautiful brown, and he couldn’t stop looking into them. He has seen so many women in his travels, but none sang to him, as this woman did. Her beauty, her eyes, she’s his other half. His soulmate.

“I said, hands-off.” He said as he glared at the Wolf who was still pawing his mate.

“Wait in line.” The Wolf said.

Sebastian lifted his guitar over his head and slammed it down over the creep’s head. The Wolf howled as he let go of the woman and jumped to his feet.

“That’s enough.” Tate said as he appeared between the two Shifters. “I think it is time for you to leave.” He said as he glared at the Wolf Shifter.

“But he hit me over the head…”

“Leave now, and never return.” Tate said as he leaned in closer to the Shifter.

The Shifter’s eyes dilated, then he turned and left the bar.

“If I have to tell one more asshole, the rules about cockblocking, I will have him walk into traffic!” Tate hollered, then turned and walked back to the door, mumbling something about stupid Shifters.

“He has gotten even more protective of Fated Mates since he found his own.” Shar said with a chuckle.

“Sebastian!” Daryl hollered at the new member of their club…pack. Damn Shar and her stupid club.

Sebastian turned to his new Alpha.

“Take your mate home, before anything else happens.”

Sebastian nodded, then took hold of his mate’s hand and led her outside.

“She seemed pretty calm for a Human Fated Mate.” Shar said as she watched their friend lead his mate outside.

“I think there’s a story with that one.” Lyvia said as she moved to stand next to Shar. “What are we going to do for entertainment now?”

Shar turned to Lyvia, then looked up at the stage and chuckled. “Can any of you boys sing?”

The Lead Guitarist nodded. “I cover for Sebastian when he can’t make a gig.”

Shar nodded. “Please. Continue.”

The band started playing again, and the Fated Mates returned to their tables.

Chelsea purred as she walked over to her mate and leaned into him. “You’re so hot when you get all protective.”

Tate grinned as he wrapped his arms around her. “After almost losing you to cockblockers. I have a very low tolerance for them.”

She smiled. “Wait until we get home tonight.” She whispered, then pecked his lips and slipped out of his arms, to return to the others.

Tate grumbled as he adjusted his pants. Damn woman, now he’s going to have to deal with a hard-on, for the rest of his shift.

~🎸~

Winter Castello looked around outside, for her friend. She wasn’t anywhere she could find her. What was going on?

“Are you okay?”

Her mate asked as he watched her look around them.

Winter shrugged. “I was looking for my friend but can’t find her.”

“She probably went in. The others will let her know what happened. Does she know about us?”

Winter nodded. “She knows more than I do. She’s the one who told me what I am, and what to expect when I found my mate.” She said as she looked up at him.

Sebastian grinned at his mate. That explained why she was so calm and accepting.

“Let’s get to my house before anyone else tries to cockblock me.”

She giggled as she followed him to his car.

“What’s your name?” He asked as they climbed into his car.

“Winter.” She said with a smile as she turned in her seat so she could look at her handsome mate. When she had heard his voice, she had known right away who he was. And when she’d looked into his eyes, and felt the pull… She would have never thought that she was the other half of, Sebastian Bensing.

“I’m…” He started to say, but she finished for him.

“Sebastian Bensing. Singer and guitar player of the band, The Runarounds. True Rock and Roll.”

He grinned. “A fan?”

She nodded. “I love your voice.” She said as she leaned in closer to him. “Will you sing for me while you fuck me?”

He looked at her and burst into laughter. “Whatever you want, Mafilia.”
