Brielle was in the lobby, but her scent wrapped around me as if she were standing at my side.
Sweet and wild, it made my wolf restless beneath my skin. I wanted nothing more than to bury my nose in her neck and inhale her addictive fragrance.
It drove my wolf crazy that another male had spent more time with her today than us, and I fought the urge to growl.
Examination done, I tucked the report into an envelope for Alpha Wynn and walked Isolde into the lobby.
Brielle looked up as we approached, and her smile was like a punch in the gut. She was so beautiful. Even in the harsh lighting of the medical building, she glowed like her skin had captured the sun.
“I finally get to see you at work,” she said when I stopped at her side.
“I’d be more than happy to bring you to work with me.”
“And do what? Watch you cure patients?” She laughed. “I’d be useless here.”
My voice came out huskier than intended as I purred, “I’m sure I could find something to occupy your time.”
Her pupils dilated, and the air turned to molasses around us. My wolf hummed in appreciation as the scent of her lust wafted through the air.
My comms device rang before my restraint could snap.
As I answered, I heard Isolde mutter, “If that call came any later, I would have been watching you two fuck each other.”
Ezra’s voice drowned out Brielle’s response. “Is Brielle still with you?”
“Yes. What’s wrong?”
“There are new developments with the Council infiltration. Alpha Wynn wants to see Brielle in his office.”
My protective instincts flared. It looked like the questioning was going to happen sooner than we had anticipated.
“We’ll be there in a few.”
Chapter 17
Brielle
After briefly meeting Alpha Wynn at the cafe, I hadn’t thought I would see him again so soon.
Korren was a steady presence beside me as we crossed the threshold of Isolde’s home. The Alpha’s den was a huge three-story log cabin with exposed wooden beams and oak paneling, and as I looked around, I heard the faint sound of male voices.
My wolf sensed Ezra and Valor nearby, along with the Alpha and two other males I’d yet to meet. Even as my shoulders tensed, some biological part of me was soothed by my mates’ proximity.
Isolde guided us up the stairs and toward a dark oak door. Korren’s hand settled at the small of my back.
“Here you are,” Isolde said. “I’m going to take a nap.” She grasped my hand and gave it a squeeze. “You’ll be fine.”
Were my nerves that obvious?
I wanted to believe Isolde, but nothing good ever came from meetings with males in power. I trusted my mates to keep me safe, but that didn’t mean I would like the ensuing conversation.
Korren guided me into the room, and Ezra and Valor immediately walked toward us, both males running their eyes over me before speaking.
“Fancy seeing you here, sweetling,” Valor said with a lopsided smile.
“Did you enjoy your day?” Ezra asked.
“I did. Isolde was very sweet.”
