“Are you boys ready to beg for my forgiveness now?”
Lanie
Xander and Zane both jumped away from me, scrambling off the bed as if my touch had burned them.
“You need to get out of here, Xander told me without even speaking.
Acold knot of dread settled in my stomach.
Those f u cking cowards.
The second they heard the voice of their precious Alice, they once again abandoned me to save their own skin.
I wrapped my arms around my chest, suddenly feeling very exposed.
I was their mate first so why did I feel like the side chick caught in the act?
Seconds ago, they were caressing me, practically begging me to f uck them again, and now they were exchanging horrified. glances, no doubt trying to think of a way to stuff me out of sight like a dirty secret.
out.
For a second, I had even thought that they were talking about more than sex…
Was everything they just told me a bunch of bul Ish it?
I pushed myself off the bed, the desire fd felt moments earlier curdling into sour fury.
I imagined myself snat ching up my clothes and strutting into the living room, looking Alice straight in the eye as I walked But then a lump formed in my throat.
All I really wanted to do was escape and erase all traces of what had just happened between us.
“I get it, I told them. “Do what you have to do.”
The look of relief that washed over their faces felt like a dagger to the heart.
Obviously they thought I was good for a f uck, but they were too ashamed to ever call me their mate.
That title was reserved for Alice and Alice alone.
How humiliating.
I turned away from them and shifted, grabbing my clothes in my teeth and diving onto the roof from the window, then- climbing down to the ground.
Disappearing like smoke. As if I was never there to begin with.
Xander “She’s gonna f ucking know, I told Zane I paced around the room, sna tching up Zane’s boxers and tossing them at him, then throwing the towel back around my waist “It’s fine, just keep it together,” Zane reassured me.
At least Lanie understood the situation.
Handling Alice was delicate, to say the least. Letting her down wasn’t going to be easy, and now was not the time to do it. What the f uck would I even say? “Surprise! You know the mate we told you not to worry about? Well, actually, we’re more bonded with her than we’ll ever be with you. And, oh yeah, if we don’t continue f ucking her we think we might literally die.” Alice would take that super f ucking well.
We’d have to tell her eventually, but in a way that wouldn’t potentially get us into even deeper sh it with the Elders.
It was worth taking our time and being careful, especially if it meant we’d get to have Lanie again.
Alice knocked hard on the looked bedroom door.
“Hello! What the hell are you two doing in there?”
I took a deep breath and walked out into the living room to face Alice.
She studied us for a moment, taking in our heaving chests, our nearly naked bodies, our tousled hair.
I had to get ahead of this before she came to her own conclusions.
“Sorry. We just got done working out.” I shrugged.
Alice scoffed, her face reddening.
“You have a gym downstairs, genius. And you think I don’t know you and Zane’s ‘-just-had-sex looks by heart?”
F uck She planted her hands on her hips..
“Who do you have in there with you?”
Zane waved toward the empty bedroom, “No one. Check for yourself,”
Her nostrils flared. Go ds, the smell of sex must be all over us. I knew she wanted to believe us…I had to hope that was enough to keep her of f our trail.
“So what?” she asked, “You guys were just f u cking each other?”
She was too busy trying to peek around us into the bedroom to see the tension that formed like a heavy rain cloud between Only once, a long time ago…
Zane’s fists clenched, and his eyes were dark when they flashed up to meet mine.
“I told you…” Zane’s growl echoed inside my head. “We’re never mentioning that again…”
Xander
I nodded curtly at Zane.
I wasn’t even a little bit interested in discussing that right now Instead, I pulled the bedroom door shut behind me before Alice could step all the way inside.
Lanie was already gone, but her smell was still lingering in every corner of that room, and there was no way in hell I was going to give Alice the chance to identify it. I didn’t think she would smell it on us because she was too fixated on whatever else she wanted.
“Are you gonna tell me what the hell is going on with you guys today?” Her nose wrinkled as she spoke, a sign she was getting very pis sed off.
I used to think it was cute, but now I had zero patience for her short temper.
And to be honest, mine was even shorter.
I moved closer to Alice, forcing her to take several steps backward.
The bigger question is, where the f u ck were you last night?” My voice trembled with contempt.
“Seriously, Alice.” Zane advanced on her too, his eyes flashing with rage. “Who do you think you are demanding who we’re with and what we’re doing? This is our house, and you’re our mate!
My lips curled into a mischievous smile, and I could sense Alice’s resolve crumbling.
She was no match for the two of us when we were on form.
And boy were we on form right now.
“Gabriela caught you sneaking back in this morning, so you sure as hell weren’t in this house,” I growled. “And we already know you weren’t with your parents, so don’t even try it.”
She bit her lip and her eyes shifted around the room, like she was looking for some other pathetic excuse for running off all night.
“W-why does it matter where I was?” She was trying to stand her ground, but she was shrinking under our collective rage. “It’s none of your business anyway.”
Oh g od s, first Lanie, now Alice with this s hit.
I welcomed Hunter to the surface, flexing my fists as my claws shot out.
“You can’t be desperate to be our mate one second, and then sneak around behind our back the next,” I snarled.
Alice was backing away slowly now, but I was moving closer and closer.
Hunter prodded at me, a devil on my shoulder.
You don’t want her. Get her out of the way.
“Zane,” I said, my voice ice cold. “Grab her.”
Zane shot me a confused look. “Xander, she gets it, what the f uck are you doing?”
I waved hirn off. “Just do what I say.”
Zane took Alice by the arm, and she gasped. I could smell her fear growing.
“Take her to her quarters,” I commanded.
