Page 68 of Logan’s Acadian Wolves

“It’s not stupid at all, Wyn. He’s my beta. He has a pulse on the pack and helps me lead them when necessary. He can calm wolves. It’s hard to explain. I know you can’t see it yet, but we’re linked, the three of us.” Until she actually shifted, there was no way she could possibly understand the extent of the bond he and Dimitri had. “Speaking of D. He’s going to stay with us tomorrow, as you shift, run and then afterwards. Jake’s going to take the pack for me. We may run with them too, but I want to see how you feel.”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, it’s kind of like when our young wolves first change. We don’t just let them around the older wolves right away. They stay with their mammas and papas for an hour or so, then are told to stay in a certain area with just each other. We can’t just have them challenging the older males right away. There’d be trouble.”

“Well don’t expect that out of me,” she said indignantly.

“That’s the thing, Wyn. You don’t know how you really are going to feel until after you shift. You may feel territorial, hungry, playful. Probably, very, very horny afterwards.”

“Are you kidding me? Stop it.” Wynter pushed at his arm.

“No, no I’m not. I mean, I just went through something like this with my Alpha and his mate. It’s not a joke.”

Wynter pushed out of his arms and sat up, legs crossed. “What do you mean exactly?” Please don’t mean what I think it means.

“Sex, it’s something we’ve become very good at doing.” He winked and pulled her toward him. “You and I are excellent at it actually. I can’t imagine what it’ll be like after you shift.”

“You had sex with Tristan’s mate?” She pulled away from him. How could he think this was funny?

“Come on back down here, baby,” he coaxed.

“Don’t baby me.” She tried to act angry but was really just astonished at what she was learning. With a flick of her hair, she gave him her best eye roll and then smiled.

“Not all sex means that you are ‘in love’ with someone. Take Tristan. Do I love him? Yeah, I do. He was my Alpha and still is one of my best friends. And his mate, Kalli, she’s wonderful, but I wasn’t in love with her. But we are friends, and she needed me. They needed me. So yeah, I helped with her shift back into the pack. Not really the same situation though. She’d been wolf already, just not around a whole pack.”

“So how do you feel about Dimitri?”

“I love him too. He’s been a friend ever since we got caught bootleggin’ in the twenties.”

“What?”

“The gulf coast was a crazy place then, rumrunners and such. But I digress. That’s a story for another day. Your shift…where were we?”

“Dimitri, I think.”

“It’s the shift. It doesn’t just affect your basic senses. Your libido will be flying high like a kite. I want him to be there in case…in case we need him.”

“Okay,” she said, contemplating what he was telling her. She couldn’t comprehend wanting to make love to him more than she already did. Was he implying that he wanted Dimitri to be with them? “So I’ll want to be with you. I’ll just be more enthusiastic?”

“Yeah, kind of like that.” He could tell she was having a hard time wrapping her head around what he was trying to tell her. “But you may need…more.”

“Don’t take this the wrong way. It’s not that I don’t find Dimitri attractive. I mean, I’d have to be dead not to, but Logan, I don’t think that I’d want to do…well, what you’re suggesting.”

Logan simply smiled and shrugged. “It’s up to you, Wyn. But I think that for at least your first shift, you may want this. I won’t lie; it won’t be easy for me to share you with him.”

“You didn’t want me near Jax.”

“No, I didn’t. My wolf, he doesn’t really want you near any unmated male. But he knows Dimitri. And for this shift…I want it to be special for you. If this is what your body needs, we’ll do it.”

“But I don’t think I’ll need that.” Wynter laid back down into his arms, wishing she could stay human. “I don’t get it.”

“The best I can explain it is that when the full moon hits, us wolves, we’re already sexual creatures. We crave the touch of others. Someone who is a friend by day may be a lover during the full moon. Consensual, of course,” he added.

“Have you ever watched someone make love?” she asked with great interest. “Well, besides in that vampire club the other night.”

“Yes.” He smiled broadly. His little wolf never ceased to amaze him. Was she a voyeur? “Like humans, certain wolves like to watch or be watched. It can be a turn on, without a doubt. Is that something you’d like to do?”

Wynter felt his eyes burn over her body at the question. What was she thinking? Threesomes to voyeurism in the course of two minutes was a little bit too much information to process.
