The Fake Mate

Moira calls and insists on meeting Noah soon, and Mackenzie accedes to her grandmother’s request just as she comes across a frazzled Noah in the hall near the ER. She hangs up on her grandmother, and Noah admits that he was looking for her because he hasn’t seen her in a few days; he worries that people will notice the lack of his scent on her. Mackenzie is disappointed by his reason for seeking her out but allows him to scent her again anyway. The experience makes her knees buckle, and Noah has to steady her. She is tempted to kiss him, but they are interrupted by a staff worker. Noah leaves first, and Mackenzie spends the rest of the day in a restless mood. Her friend Liam notices and asks if she and Noah had a fight. She denies this, but Liam is still uncomfortable with the idea of her relationship with Noah. Before he leaves, Mackenzie confirms that Noah’s scent on her is noticeable to every other shifter, and she feels embarrassed about what their mingling scents might be implying about their sex life.
