Page 41 of Wolf Betrayed

Shane rolled over and leaned on his arm. “Charlotte should be back soon, right?”

Bram nodded. “And I think the two of us will stay with you tonight, if that’s okay?”

The look in the other man’s eyes made Shane’s dick harden, and he swallowed, though his mouth was dry.

Before Shane could think of what to say, Charlotte trotted up. She looked between the two of them, her eyes filled with knowing, and moved to a grouping of bushes to shift back.

Shane wasn’t sure what would happen once they got back to his place, but he knew that everything would be different afterward. His wolf wanted them, and he had a feeling his human half wanted them even more.

He’d never thought to find someone—or more than one someone—to be with for the long haul, but he wasn’t human any longer. Whatever was inside him, this new soul, this new wolf, wanted these two. And now he knew that whatever danger he faced, whatever war came at them, he would be stronger, they would be stronger as one.

He stood on shaky legs as Charlotte came out of the bushes, her simple dress covering her curves. He would strip that off her later, he knew.

“Are you ready to go home?” he asked, his voice like gravel.

Charlotte stood right in front of him and cupped his face. “I’m ready.”

He wrapped his arm around her waist and tugged her close before crushing his mouth to hers. She tasted of power and sweetness, and he wanted her mouth all over him.

When he pulled away, Bram was there, kissing him even harder. Shane finally caught a breath when Bram and Charlotte kissed each other, but the sight didn’t stop the rapid beat of his heart.

They were going to do this.

He was wolf. He was Talon.

And soon…soon, he’d have mates.

A far cry from the human soldier he’d been before all of this, but he knew this was where he was supposed to be. Where he was meant to be all along.

Finally.
