“You are not.”
At the front door, I slam it shut and pin Marybell against it. Flushed and bright-eyed, with a strong body that’s soft in all the right places, she’s a wet dream.
“I’ll fuck obedience into you,” I tell her.
She covers her mouth and nose with a sleeve and sneezes. “It’s starting.”
I rear back. “What is?”
“My heat.”
“It stirred a while back.”
“But now it’s starting for real. I know because I’m sneezing, and that one time before when—”
“Shhhh.” Images of Marybell with another male intrude on my brain. I must get them out before they drive me crazy. “Marybell.” I say her name as if saying a prayer, as if I’m addressing Natra, because a lycan mate is the equivalent of a goddess for a lycan male. “Has a McMar served you in your heat before?”
She sneezes again and again. I put her down while she rubs her nose. It’s red and her eyes are tearstained, and I’m a little worried about her health.
“And what if they did?”
Her health is fine. No worries. “You’ll end up over me knee.” I open the door and march outside to where the clan is gathered.
“Bring a coat!” Marybell shouts after me, but I’m a lycan male who doesn’t need a coat. Clan mates slap me on the shoulders, back, and arse as I pass them by on the way to Spence’s. I’m smiling because, fuck, it’s the best span of my life. I’m mated.
Swinging open the door to my brother’s house, I go straight for his living space and stand beside him. Because I’m mated and self-absorbed at the moment, it takes me a heartbeat to realize that, under the blanket on the floor, he’s not alone. Two heads pop out from beneath the blanket. One is Spence’s and the other Philippa’s.
She eyes me from top to bottom and licks her lips before Spence covers her eyes with a hand. “He’s a troll,” Spence says. “Don’t look.”
I throw up my hands and sit on the floor near the couple. “Congrats, Spence.”
“Thank you. And yes, she’s a breeder.”
“She could be a mate,” I tell him.
“We’re not there yet.” A pause and then, “Brother, do you mind?”
“Yes, I do mind, actually, because we need to chat about Dan, and it can’t wait. Since you’re well enough to fuck, I take it you’re doing better.”
“Philippa did most of the fucking.”
She giggles, and Spence smirks.
I almost lost my brother, so seeing him entangled with a female on a bed of fur makes me happy. “All right, well, I thought you wanted to discuss Dan, but since we’re both going to be busy during the full moon and likely awhile after, I’ll find someone else.”
I rise to depart when Spence asks, “What was that commotion outside?”
“I was having an open theater event with Marybell. But we sorted it out. I marked her.”
At Spence’s wide-eyed look, I grin. “Let’s have a party after the moon.” I close the door softly behind me. Good. This is good. I hope Spence breeds Philippa and they find happiness together.
Outside, the crowd is thinning. I search for my youngest brother, but he’s not among the males, so I grab the first male near me. “Hey, Potner, gather a squadron and follow me into the forest.” I grab another male. “In the old caves, find the traps, and let’s lay them out all around the village.”
The male looks surprised and asks, “To confirm, you said traps?”
“I did.”
We outlawed those because they can hurt us too, but with both Spence and me out of commission, guarding the clan from the enemy, who knows the clan well, becomes tricky. I have no choice but to break the laws I upheld before. Dan won’t expect me to break those laws. For as long as he remains a threat, everything I do should remain unpredictable.
