“Don’t look so worried,” Kai says with a reassuring grin as we head to the parking lot. “The moment your perfume grows weaker, he’ll come back to his senses. For now, we just needed to get you out of there before the situation got out of hand.”

“Get inside with her,” Cole says when we arrive near our car. “I’ll drive us home.”

Relief floods me the moment we’re all inside the car. I’m still anxious about Jacob but it feels good to be away from the strange alpha who was hellbent on blocking our path.

Cole steps on the gas, quickly driving us into the traffic.

I’m glad the traffic isn’t too heavy on our way back because my body’s starting to succumb to the demands of my heat. A constant ache stabs my lower belly while cold sweat drenches my clothes.

“You don’t look so good, love,” Kai says. His deep brown eyes swirl with concern as he gently moves a strand away from my sweaty forehead.

“I need you,” I groan as my core throbs hard. The delicious tingles I was getting used to feeling when I was around him and his brothers are morphing into pure agony. I need them to take care of me or I’d die of this incessant torment.

“We’re here for you,” he assures me. “Jacob’s going to meet us back at the house soon, so don’t worry about a thing.”

A groan escapes me as I slump against him.

“Can’t you drive faster?” Kai snaps from beside me.

“Do you want me to crash the car?” Cole retorts. “We’re already going fast enough.”

I’m sure we’re going over the speed limit right now. The scenery outside flashes by in a blur, making me dizzy.

Closing my eyes, I rest my head against Kai’s arm. He strokes my hair, whispering soothing assurances in my ear.

For some strange reason, his scent and presence comfort me. It’s barely been a day since I’ve known him and his brothers but I feel a weird pull toward them.

Maybe it’s my raging hormones. Maybe it’s something else. Either way, I don’t have a choice but to surrender to them. They’re the only ones who can get me through my heat. My only hope is that I’ll come out of this experience with my body and heart in one piece.

Winter

The car comes to a sudden halt, making me open my eyes. To my surprise, I’m surrounded by a familiar sight of frozen trees and distant snow-clad hills. We’re back on the front lawn of the vast manor. Cole must’ve driven at top speed to get us here so quickly.

Climbing out, he opens the door for me.

I clamber out but my legs don’t support me, making me fall to the ground in a heap.

“Oh, darling,” Cole gasps, coming to kneel beside me in an instant. “Come here. Let me take you inside.” Moving closer, he gathers me in his arms.

“Are you okay, Winter?” Kai says, looking anxious as he leads the rest of the way to the house.

“I need you to touch me,” I moan as my skin burns from the heat that’s raging through me. “It’s the only way I’ll feel better.”

“It’s going to be okay,” Cole says, pressing a kiss to my cheek. “We’ll take care of you.”

A moan escapes me as the touch of his lips sends a current of pleasure through me. I want more. I need more.

I’m soon being taken inside the entrance hall and up a familiar staircase.

“Kai...” I call out in a weak voice.

“I’m right here, babe,” he says, turning around to smile at me. “We’re almost there.”

A haze of lust spreads over my senses, drowning every logical thought and reasoning. I just need both him and Cole to keep touching me and kissing me.

Kai opens the door to the guest bedroom and allows Cole to walk in with me in his lap.
