“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I huffed.

“I can taste it on my tongue,” he chuckled.

“You… can’t taste that,” I murmured.

“Do I need to fuck you again?” His arm came around, and a claw flicked my sensitive clit. My hips bucked and liquid gushed down my thighs.

“No,” I whispered.

“More lies,” he growled.

“Are you sure you’re human?” Ryder’s voice drew my attention from his twin.

“Of course I’m human,” I huffed.

Glaring at my other mate. Instead of getting into it with him, I blatantly checked him out. Bright gray eyes that could only be compared to lightning cutting through the night sky watched me with curiosity and amusement. I think my favorite tattoo was the black wolf on his throat. Even though I knew this was an illusion, he’s hot. Not in the pretty boy way, but in the dark, dangerous,I have a motorcycle and would fuck you on itway. The fact that I didn’t know what he really looked like bothered me.

“Then what am I? If I’m not the human woman your brother snatched from her bed?” I scoffed. The idea was ludicrous.

“A succubus,” he answered without hesitation. There was a moment of silence. Joking. Ryder was joking with me.

“You can’t be serious,” I laughed.

“I am for once.” Ryder grinned. The smile was blinding.

“I think you guys are the ones who are incubi. You never get tired! I’ve been stuck on a knot most of the time that I’ve been here,” I hissed.

“You’re right. There’s no way you could have crawled out of hell,” Ryder’s words caught me off guard, but Darius chuffed.

“Enough. I want to know more about Cohen,” Darius spat his name like it was vile.

“You don’t get to bark at me. Especially when you have her here.” I tipped my head in her direction.

Literally. Like, why was shestillhere?

“I asked first,” the grumpy puppy growled.

“There’s another woman in our room. I want answers,” I humphed. It was immature of me, but after everything that I happened, I didn’t give one flying fuck. Muscles flexed against my back and cocks moved inside me. Claws wrapped around my breast.

“Did he fuck what’s ours?” Darius snarled.

I’m so tired of being ignored. Could I bop my monster mate on the nose and get away with it?

“If you want something, I need something in return,” I sighed in frustration.

“We don’t share. Our mate is entangled with another, and we’ve decided to throw away a pact we made years ago for you. There is no question of whereourloyalties lie. Tell us aboutCohen,” he demanded. Ryder was jealous.

“You kidnapped and chained me up, but because you’re my mates, I have to accept every bad thing you’ve done to me. But now that you found out I had a life before you,Ican’t be trusted?” my voice trembled with emotion.

“We never claimed to be fair,” Ryder soothed.

I chewed on the inside of my cheek. The urge to feel silver cut against flesh festered. The beasts who were supposed to be my escape, were also my triggers. The last thing I wanted right now was to talk about Cohen. Especially when it felt like I was being crucified for a man who wasn’t worth shit.

“What do you want to know?” I hissed through clenched teeth.

“Darius asked if you’ve fucked him. Start there. When was the last time he was in your cunt?” Ryder’s expression was composed, but his eyes never lied. There was a slap before I realized what happened. I’d slapped Ryder across the face, but his stupid head didn’t even move. He snatched my wrist and held them in front of me.

“I’ve never fucked him. Use your tongue to taste that. Am I lying?” I spat. He covered my mouth with his free hand.
