Orion pinched the bridge of his nose. “She didn’t find out until after they’d been seeing each other for a while. One night, when she came to see Mason, she saw me there with him and left. She confronted me later.”
“Awhile?!” he cried.
His voice was choked, not with anger, but with intense sadness.
I was stuck on that, too. The whole time we’d thought Alice was in love with us, she’d been f ucking another guy.
her.
Xander’s brother, no less.
My mouth went dry, and my stomach churned.
How were we both so blind?
“So these pups…are you telling us they’re Mason’s?” I asked, my voice shaking.
“There’s no way to know,” Orion answered. “They could just as easily be yours.”
Xander flew up out of his chair.
“Well, it would sure be nice to f ucking know,” he spat “Given the whole next in line for Alpha thing.” Xander was right.
Regardless of whether the pups were biologically ours, Alice was our mate, and we’d officially claimed No one would ever question the paternity, and the Alpha title would automatically be handed down to the eldest child.
tell-”
Orion sighed deeply. “It is my advice to forget this happened. Alice is gone, and there is no one who will Xander cut him off.
You PUTI” he growled, throwing his hand toward the doorway. “I don’t want to hear another f ucking word from His eyes flashed a dangerous crimson, and his chest heaved with the effort of containing his wolf. Orion rose slowly, a slight smirk on his lips.
“As you wish, Alpha,” Orion said, and he stomped away.
Part of me wanted Xander to lose control and run after him, then completely tear him apart.
But then our whole pack would dissolve into chaos.
Better to keep it contained within the walls of the mansion.
“Don’t ever trust his advice,” Gabriela murmured from the corner of the room.
Xander and I both jumped.
She’d been so quiet, that we’d almost forgotten she was there.
“I don’t intend to,” Xander said through gritted teeth.
“Then what are you going to do about Mason?” she asked.
This wasn’t the time for this.
Xander’s rage was hitting a boiling point, and Gabriela was pushing him further toward the edge.
“What are you going to do about Mason?” Xander snarled. “Your cheating husband is responsible for that moth erf ucker’s existencel”
As soon as the words left his mouth, his face twisted up in anguish.
He turned away, grinding the palms of his hands into his eyes.
Xander had never spoken to Gabriela this way, and I never thought he would.
That was no way to treat a Luna, especially not your own mother.
But Gabriela didn’t let her composure slip for a second.
She took a long breath in through her nose, her nostrils flaring slightly.
But when she spoke her tone was cold and even.
“Once you’ve both calmed down, we need to discuss what to do about Lanie.”
Katie I walked up slowly, my heart still pounding.
“Take what’s mine?” What the hell did Mason mean by that?
He and Asher spun around when I approached, and both of them beamed at me like nothing had happened.
The intensity of their gazes and the brightness of their smiles sent a burning blush across my cheeks. Maybe they weren’t talking about me at all.
I was just being paranoid.
Pregnancy hormones at it again.
a “Looks like you made a friend, too,” Asher said, wiggling his eyebrows. “I knew you’d be fine.”
“Yeah, I guess.” I shrugged. “It’s a lot to take in. I still feel like I have so much to learn about the other packs.”
Mindy had name-dropped the Constantine pack like should be impressed, or at the very least familiar, and now I was curious.
Asher waved off the idea. “Nah, you’ll probably never see these people outside of this event.”
“Yeah, thankfully they don’t f u ck with us rogues too much.” Mason threw his arm over my shoulders casually, and butterflies fluttered in my stomach. “So we don’t have to worry about getting caught up in their petty drama.”
“I guess. But Mindy mentioned her pack… Constantine, I think? I tried to make my voice sound casual. “Do you know what they’re all about?”
Mason’s arm stiffened, and I swore Asher’s eyes darkened a shade.
But just as quickly they’d both recovered, flirty smirks returning to their faces.
Did I imagine it?
“Wealthy a ss holes,” Mason said glibly.
Asher nodded in agreement. “So far up their own as s es, they think they’re the only pack that matters.” “I don’t wanna talk about them,” Mason said, removing his arm and draining the rest of his drink in one gulp. “I wanna have fun. A few hours later, the night was finally winding down and the boys were sobering up, Alot.
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy it, but it was overwhelming too.
These men barely kriew me, and I was about to pop out a pup that wasn’t theirs…was their flirting actually genuine?
They led me outside, my arms h ooked through each of theirs.
I tried to chase away my anxious thoughts and just closed my eyes, luxuriating in the feeling of being wanted.
Suddenly, a lightning bolt of pain shot through my head, and it was like I was transported to a different time and place.
very powerful.
Two other wolves stood beside me, big and strong and very Two wolves I’d never seen before…or had I?
When I opened my eyes and saw Mason and Asher standing there instead, it was like my short-circuited.
brain My heart stopped, then hammered hard against my chest, causing a wave of nausea to sweep over me. Of course they were standing beside me.
Who the hell else would be there?
Go ds, was I actually going crazy?
Suddenly, Mason’s phone rang, breaking me away from my thoughts.
His arm slid out of mine and when he looked at the caller, his face paled, and his gaze darted to Asher. “What’s wrong?” I asked, already shaken up from my weird vision Mason shot me a half smile, before starting to back away.
“Just a call Asher and I need to take.”
Asher’s arms slipped from mine, and suddenly I was standing alone, wondering what the hell had just happened.
“Hey, Katie!” I whipped around, still on edge, and saw Mindy walking out of the lodge, flanked by two gigantic, meathead wolves. Those had to be the High Guards she mentioned.
“This is Maxim and Monroe.” She gestured to the identical-looking men.
They nodded, barely smiling.
