“Yes, mate,” Kane says, pushing forward to take over my body. Fuck. I am going to regret this. “It is so nice to meet you.”

“And you.” Phoebe unlatches, and Kane licks our lips as he spots the milk dripping off her tit.

“Not for us!” I hiss along our bond.

“There’s plenty.”

“Not for us!”

He rolls his eyes, since we can both feel my desire, too, but we know it isn’t time.

Maia eventually gets Phoebe settled on her other boob, and it takes the pup a few moments to actually keep hold of the nipple, her angry little grunts as she tries to latch but couldn’t be completely adorable. I’m not sure why Maia spent time patting Phoebe’s back, but that’s something I will research. I need to prove my worth—prove we deserve to be in Phoebe’s life.

I’ve never been around babies before.

But this one is so precious.

And that’s not just because of my connection to her.

“To answer your question properly about our personalities,” Kane says, and Maia’s eyes flash with curiosity again. She’s so inquisitive. “No, it’s not the same for us all. For Seb and I, we’re a lot more closely matched than, say, Orion and Christopher. Every bond between a wolf and their human is different.”

“At first, I thought your eyes gave you away,” Maia says, looking over at us with a scrutinising look. “But then you’ve been swapping back and forth for most of this conversation, haven’t you?”

Kane snorts and nods. “Yes. Sebastian is a little shy.”

“Shy?” she echoes.

“Shy?” I hiss.

“He’s too afraid to talk to you,” Kane continues, and if I were the one in control of our human body, we’d be gaping right now. “Stage fright and all.”

Maia’s eyes soften. “That’s sweet.”

“He’s a fucking liar,” I snarl, breaking through the restraint to take over the body. Kane’s laughs echo across our bond. “I’m just naturally quiet.”

Maia frowns. “So, just there, your eyes have gone from being bright green to their hazel colouring with the green flecks. So, you’re Seb now?”

I nod, once, and then let Kane speak whilst holding eye contact.

“Seb and I swap places a lot,” Kane says, and her eyes widen. “He is shy, but he’s also very… uninterested in most people, so this means we can still have the connection we need without either one of us suffering.”

“This is so freaky,” she whispers, hesitantly reaching out to touch me.

I lean into her hand, letting her brush against my cheek as a shiver races down my spine. Sparks fly between us both, and based on her hitched breath, I know she feels it, too. I let out a purr as the soothing connection between us flares to life. I’ve never felt something this powerful—this right.

“I didn’t see a change. I didn’t hear a change,” Maia whispers.

I shrug, not moving from her touch. “Kane is right. Humans don’t interest me. People don’t interest me. I talk, when it’s needed, to those who matter.”

“And I matter?”

“You’re the only person who does matter,” I say, turning my head to press a soft kiss to the palm of her hand. Sparks shoot across my lips, and I’ve never felt contentment like it. My eyes drop to the sleeping baby, and I grin. “Well, you and Phoebe, that is.”

“Good human.”

“Oh, fuck you,” I snap. “Telling her I was shy?”

“You are shy. I figured it was better to say than you were sociopathic.”
