Page 21 of The Wolf King's Mate

When he was dead too, my wolf left him with the enforcers. I gave them a quick command to bury the bodies, promising to send a few more guys out to help, and ran back toward the Lodge.

It was a long run.

I should’ve taken one of the Jeeps. And had some food on the way. I’d just woken up when Hunter told me he thought he’d found a female wolf. Food hadn’t happened.

It should’ve happened.

My wolf pushed us harder.

We were going to regret it. And need to eat a shit ton of food. Which meant cooking a shit ton of food.

I groaned inwardly.

“Headed back,”I told Clay.

“Great. So, we have a small problem.”

“Spit it out.”

“Your princess found your phone and charged it. Couldn’t get in, but read a few texts from me and Hunter. Nothing really important.”

“So?”

“So, she saw in one of the messages that I was talking to her brother, and came out to find me. She’d just gotten out of the shower. Her hair was wet. Shirt was, uh, wet.”

Stuck to her breasts.

My wolf snarled.

He shouldn’t give a shit about her tits. If she was my mate, they were mine, not his. I didn’t know why he cared. And she had been wearing a bra, so what did it matter? They were great tits.

“All she had on was your underwear and your shirt. It was cold. Nothing was really hidden, if you know what I mean. Thewet shirt clung. Some of the guys were hanging out in the hall outside your room, waiting for her. They just wanted her to talk to you about the groupie thing, but?—”

“Get to the names already.”

He rattled them off. Four guys. I wouldn’t kill them, but I’d do enough damage to make a statement so my wolf didn’t come out and kill them.

She belonged to me.

“One more thing. She mentioned a guy in her brother’s pack. Apparently, he flirted a lot. Nothing happened. Her brother didn’t know he even liked her. It’s his Beta.”

My nostrils flared.

I didn’t have time for this newfound jealousy, but my wolf’s rage told me I was making time.

“I’ll handle it,”I said.

“The princess cares a lot about her brother, so I’d use nonlethal force if possible. They’re supposed to be really close.”

“As long as the Beta backs off from my mate, we won’t have problems.”

There was a pause.

A long one.

I knew my brother well enough to be sure he was choosing his words carefully, and rolled my eyes inwardly.

My wolf huffed.
