He reached down and pulled the covers up over us all. I closed my eyes, the ferocity of my lust ebbing away as my thumping heart slowed. There would be time for me. Time for Kyle.
This moment had been all about Monique.
We drifted off to sleep. When we awoke, the sun had lowered in the sky. It wasn’t quite dark, but dusk was upon us.
I went to move away, but Monique grabbed for me, burying her head in my shoulder. “Don’t leave.”
I grinned, loving the growing connection between us. “I have to use the bathroom, Hun.”
“Oh! Okay.” She groaned and rolled slightly so I could get out from underneath her.
I stood up next to the bed, stretching out my shoulders, and watched as she settled back into sleep, her head on the pillow. Kyle snuggled back in behind her.
An arrow of envy shot through me. That was my woman, my mate lying there. And another man was spooning her naked body, touching her ass. My primal self, my wolf, wasn’t happy about that. He growled, and within my mind his teeth bared.
I silenced him, with effort. Kyle’s focus was making Monique happy, and for that, I would learn to accept him as part of this situation. Eventually.
My gaze slid back to our mate. Our witch mate. What were my parents going to think about my fated mate not being a wolf? What would the pack as a whole think?
Would they still want me as their Alpha? Would the others be willing to consider a witch fated mate as an option for themselves?
I crossed my arms over my chest, frustrated. Too many questions and not enough answers.
Was Monique right about what she’d said earlier? That the answer we were seeking wasn’t to break the curse at all. It was to find fated mates for the hundred males in my pack, wherever they may be.
If we had a witch mate, who said the rest of the pack didn’t?
Could their fated mates be another sort of shifter? Or even a human? The possibilities were endless, once we accepted that we needed to look beyond the wolf shifter world.
I went to the kitchen to get myself a glass of water and to cool my temper a little. I already loved the little witch, that was for certain. It was the way the fated mates’ connection worked. I didn’t want to share her, but I’d never leave her.
From the moment I’d seen her, my heart had known one thing for sure: I’d do anything in my power to make her happy.
I sighed and stared down at her little silver kitchen sink. What about Monique? Would two lovers make her happy? Would Kyle make her happy?
I knew the answer to that, and because I did, a weight lifted slightly off my chest. Somehow, I had to learn to live with the presence of Kyle in our relationship. I might not like it, but that’s the way it would have to be.
There was only one thing to do right now: man up and crawl back into bed with them.
