He kissed the top of my head and stroked my hair.
It was hot. He mind-linked me. Maybe you could order me around like that in our bedroom tonight.
I bit the inside of my cheek to stop myself from chuckling.
I am looking forward to that. I responded.
He leaned in and placed a soft kiss on my lips.
“Can you please explain to me what the hell was that about?” Will asked.
I looked at him and saw him staring at Dimitri with an angry expression on his face. He was holding Ali in his arms and it made me smile a little.
“I am sorry, Will,” I said softly. “Dimitri is a bit nervous this morning. He didn’t mean anything bad.”
Will looked at me and his expression softened.
“I am not nervous,” Dimitri said angrily. “I am pissed as fuck.”
Ali’s eyes widened. I sighed and resisted the urge to roll my eyes. Dimitri wasn’t making the best first impression.
“Why?” Will asked. “What the hell happened?”
Dimitri took a deep breath and tightened his hold on me.
“Alpha Alistair asked to talk to me last night,” Dimitri said. “He believes that there is a traitor among the Alphas.”
My eyes widened and I looked up at Dimitri. Will growled loudly.
“If that’s true then Maddie is in so much danger,” Dimitri said, his arms tightening around me.
Will growled again.
“Why didn’t you tell me sooner?!” Will exclaimed angrily. “We need to do something! We need to protect her!”
Dimitri sighed and raised an eyebrow at Will.
“I tried to tell you, but you were a bit preoccupied,” Dimitri said, glancing at Ali.
She held her breath and I saw fear in her eyes.
“It’s okay, Ali,” I said softly. “You didn’t do anything wrong, okay?”
Will looked at her and kissed her temple. He whispered something to her and looked back up at Dimitri.
“We need to call Alastair and talk to him,” Will said, clenching his jaw. “We need to figure out why he thinks that one of the Alphas is a traitor.”
Dimitri nodded.
“We also need to do everything we can to protect Maddie,” he said. “She needs to be with one of us at all times. We can’t leave her alone.”
Will looked at me and took a deep breath.
“Nothing will happen to her,” he said, keeping his eyes on me. “Over my dead body.”
