“In what way?” she pressed.

“I don’t see how that’s any of your business,” I said. “Though, I’ll admit, him showing up to the hospital is not what we agreed to.”

“So get rid of him and your problem is solved. There are too many eyes here. The alpha never leaves Felix’s side, there’s another nurse who I think is suspicious of me, and the alpha is friends with the police. The sheriff came last night just to sit with him for an hour. This is bad.”

“Luna, you’d better get a muzzle for your mate before I decide that offing her is more interesting to me than this conversation.”

“Babe,” Luna said, voice annoyingly calm.

I swear, everyone else has to be faking their emotions as much as I do. And that therapist called me a sociopath? Um, hello, dipshit, we’re all sociopaths. I’m just better at it than them.

As usual.

“Goodbye,” Luna said before hanging up the phone.

Did I miss something? Oh well.

“She’ll continue with the plan, but you need to get Ryder working with us and not running around rouge. Our best bet to ensure permanent damage to Felix’s memory is to keep him sedated for as long as possible. Ryder needs to use his status as Felix’s mate to our advantage.”

I sighed. “Ugh, this is becoming far less fun and a great deal more work than I expected. I just wanted to play with the little twat.”

“Are you going to tell him?” she asked.

“Yes!” I yelled. “I need to get back to work. I’ll call him on the way and tell him what needs to happen.”

Maybe I ought to just light the whole lot of them on fire and start fresh.

I would enjoy the smell of charred flesh.

Hm.

Options.

Chapter Fourteen

Felix

April: Two Months Ago

Bennett’s nest is so good.

I kneeled on my bed, surrounded by the blankets and dirty clothes Bennett had arranged for me. I picked up a pillow that still smelled like the cool lake air and popcorn from our date in the back of his truck and adjusted it slightly to the left behind my shoulders.

Nope, too high.

I moved it again and sighed in relief.

Perfect.

My sheets still smelled like us since he’d slept here last night, and I took the blanket he’d brought from his bed and laid it over top of everything. He’d started building the nest in my bed the moment we arrived, but I’d taken over about thirty minutes ago. He leaned one hip against my dresser, looking amused as I fussed with everything.

Satisfied with the arrangement, I lowered the waistband of the sweatpants he’d changed me into when we’d gotten inside and pulled out my throbbing dick, stroking it while I turned my face to the side and inhaled the snowy pine combination of our scents. I moaned, jerking faster.

Bennett stepped closer, his hard cock tenting his sweatpants. He’d put on a pair as well, suggesting they were easily removable and would be nice for me to look at. It helped that his abs were on display and the V of his hips made slick drip down my ass crack. “Do you like your nest, handsome?”

“I wanna be face down in it,” I moaned, rolling over. I kicked off my sweatpants and pushed my ass in the air, presenting myself to him.

Bennett growled, dropped his pants to his ankles, and stepped out of them before crawling onto the bed behind me. He squeezed the globes of my ass with both hands. “You’re such a pretty omega, Felix. The most beautiful omega I’ve ever seen.”
