“Don’t forget to keep with the buddy system, sis.” Kellen got to his feet.
Envy hit me as I looked around at the three women snuggled in their mate’s arms. Having known, or thought I’d known, my mate since childhood, I was sure I’d be the first to be mated. “Got it.”
Before anyone else could stop me, I left. The echo from the heels of my cowgirl boots was the only sound as I walked acrossthe office. The urge to take one last look rode me, but I had gotten really good at denying my own needs. Bodhi was a need and a want I would be forgetting. If I had to find a different man or wolf every night for the rest of my life, I’d bury him beneath the scents of others who wanted me.
“Hey, Syn. You look like you could use a drink.”
I looked at one of Breezy’s twin brothers. They were identical twins. My heart skipped a beat. What would it be like to have two men who loved me? One of the two blond men with liquid brown eyes held a bottle out between his fingers.
“I believe that is just what I need,” I agreed.
Although my body only seemed to come alive for the Mohawk bad boy, I was going to teach it to want someone else. Multiple someone’s if it killed me.
“Brother, let me give you a piece of advice.” I stared at Bodhi. “You’d better get your head out of your ass, before my sister decides to find a more amiable wolf.”
Bodhi raised his middle finger. “You don’t know shit, man.”
I tilted my head to the side. “That’s where you’re wrong.”
“Unless you need me, I’m out.” Bodhi stood waiting.
Laikyn snuggled up to me, watching the other man walk out the side door instead of back into the club. “He is going to fuck up the best thing.” My tone lowered to a whisper.
Jennaveve spun in a circle. “Alright, let’s go break it to the rest of the gang,” she sang in a singsong voice.
I was about to correct her words, then saw the laughter in her eyes. “Are you going to mind fuck them as well?”
“It’s the most expedient way. Don’t you think?” She led us back out the door.
My mate squeezed my hand, soothing my inner beast. “Let’s get this over with. How long are you going to be with us?” Laikyn asked Jenna.
“Already tired of me?” The Fey pushed out the door. The sound of loud music filtered in.
“Not in the least,” I muttered.
“Do you have a burning sensation below your waist, Alpha?” Jennaveve asked.
“What the flying fuck are you talking about?”
Laikyn placed her hand over her mouth. “You know? Liar, liar, pants on fire.” The Fey waved her hand toward my groin area.
“Can I eat her?” The pleading tone had my mate bent over laughing. “I love her. Like in a totally friendly, want to be her bestie way.” Laikyn had tears streaming down her cheeks.
I lifted her. “You won’t be laughing when I have you tied to my bed this evening,” I promised my mate.
Her laughter died, replaced by another warmth. “That is so not fair. Now everyone here will smell my need for you.”
I licked her lips. “Good. Now, be a good girl and sit at the bar next to…” My words trailed off at the sight of my baby sister on top of the bar. The sight of the Mattice twins doing body shots off her abdomen made a low rumble vibrate out of me. My growl made the room go quiet except for the music blaring from the speaker.
“Shaw, Parker, get your fucking paws and lips off my sister. Now,” I roared.
Syn sat up, a scowl on her beautiful face. “Big bro, we are having fun.”
“Now, pups, if you value your dicks.” My growl became that of my beast. Shaw and Parker backed away, hands up.
“Sorry, Alpha. We didn’t know she was off limits,” Parker said, eyes down.
Laikyn put her body between mine and the other wolves. “Kellen, your sister is a big girl. You need to calm down.”
