It didn’t happen, and I frowned.
For wolves, biting was what triggered the next phases of the mate connection, but for demons and most other types of mysts, it was kissing that ignited the transition between the first and second part of the process. A declaration of love separated the second and third portion—which would likely never happen for me and Axel.
I watched the skin on his throat heal as he stared at me.
Then he slowly stood up, and crossed the bedroom.
Damn, that butt…
He walked right down the stairs, ditching me.
Outrage warred with self-consciousness.
According to him and the packet of papers I’d found in his kitchen, the climax should be starting any time now.
And he was walking away from me for that reason?
What a bastard.
I stormed down the stairs, stopping at the bottom when I found him on the phone.
“Hey, Ryder. I need you to pick up Morgan’s vampire friend when you grab the rune witch, then find her a place to stay. Kai’s townhouse should be fine, but you’ll need to check in with him. And she’s sick, so someone will need to feed her. I don’t know how often.” There was a short pause before he went on. “The climax is about to start. We’ll need a few days to figure out how to fight it, if we decide not to ride it out.”
I blinked.
He was… taking care of Iris?
Making sure she had a place to stay?
And he had friends who would just beokaywith helping out with all that shit?
Iris shot me a wide-eyed look.
I sent her the same one back, though I was still furry.
“Thanks, man.” Axel hung up the phone, then set it down and looked at me.
Shit, his expression was intense.
Was the room starting to feel a bit warm?
His gaze remained on me as he spoke to my roommate. “I’m going upstairs, Iris. Ryder, my packmate, will be at the door in the next few minutes for you and Egan. Have him take your bags too. When Morgan and I figure things out, we’ll let you know.”
Iris nodded wordlessly, her eyes still wide.
“Morgan.”
My gaze jerked to Axel at the low tone of his voice.
“Let’s go.”
My first instinct was to argue.
I hated being told what to do.
But given the heat that was unfurling in my body, in strange ways that it never had before, I figured arguing wasn’t a great call.
So I rubbed my head against Iris’s knee, and then I trotted over to Axel.
