Page 17 of Sasquatch Love Spell

Great.

The mermaid had said that he had gone back here with a human female. Even though this was the norm for Sasquatches in the past, this was now outlawed. King Tiene said it was a way to curb detection of the magical realm by humans, but Adam knew it was a way to control Sasquatch breeding.

There weren’t enough females in his species to go around.

Another reason why he swore off finding a mate and having young, because it was painful living a life of solitude, and being afraid that it could all be snatched from him. Of course, since Aoife had stumbled into his woods, that seemed to all go out the window. She was his mate, whether he liked it or not, and he really did like it.

Adam honed in on the sound of his brother fucking the human. He found them behind a hedge maze. The little human was on her side, her leg slung over his brother. All Adam could see was his brother’s hand over the human’s bared breast.

“Benjamin!” Adam shouted.

The human cried out.

Ben pulled out and moved in front of the woman. “For fuck’s sake, Adam. I’m busy.”

“We have to go.” Adam turned his head away, trying to avert his eyes.

“What?” Benjamin asked confused.

“We have to go,” Adam warned, growling low.

He was not going to discuss why they had to leave right now. It was bad enough the human was here, with his brother, who was clearly not human, and that she had probably seen others of the realm.

“Okay,” Benjamin replied mulishly.

Adam turned around fully and heard the human woman whine as Benjamin talked to her in hushed, loving undertones.

Aoife came into the bubble then, and made her way over. “Did you find…oh.”

She had peered around him to see the remnants of his brother’s mating.

“I did, but he’s not supposed to be with her,” Adam responded in a hushed undertone. “She’ll remember. If she’s under a Sasquatch love spell…the pheromone won’t let her forget.”

“I get it. I can handle it.” Aoife made her way over to the human woman who was pulling on her clothes, passing Benjamin as he finished dressing.

“What’s this all about?” Benjamin asked.

“Prince Ivar,” Adam replied stiffly.

Benjamin’s eyes flashed red for a moment. “Understood.”

“Head back through the portal to get close to home. Got it?”

“The others are there?” Ben asked.

Adam nodded. “They’ve gone through already. I have to wait for Aoife.”

Aoife came over with a very dazed human woman. “She doesn’t remember anything. I put a memory block enchantment on her. I’m going to get her a cab right now. The last thing she needs is to get in the hands of one of those krakens or mermaids or something.”

Benjamin watched woefully as Aoife escorted the human woman away. Adam felt momentarily bad for him. He could tell by his brother’s expression, Ben was smitten with her.

It would tear his heart to have Aoife taken away from him.

“You know we can’t,” he said, gently placing a hand on his brother’s shoulder.

“It’s not right. That’s how we breed,” Ben stated. “It’s always how it’s done.”

“I know, but the law is the law and it’s been that way for some time. If Prince Ivar and his soldiers are out there lurking about, the last thing I need to happen is have a raid on us and any of youtaken away or killed. I made a promise to Mom and Dad. I’m the eldest, I have to protect you.”
