Chapter 2
Kyro couldn’t think straight. Not with his mate in between him and Derek.Theirs. Hanna was back and she was all theirs. He’d caught her scent at the bonfire as it traveled in the breeze, and he remembered it as if it were imprinted on his soul. His wolf was restless and begged to get out and chase her.
He’d seen Derek’s reaction and knew he sensed her, too. Six damn years he’d waited for her to come back. It wasn’t lost on him that she was back during the Scenting Ceremony. There was no one there they wanted. No one came close to the girl they’d stumbled across on the beach.
He’d been ready to claim her then, despite the warning from his brother that she wasn’t ready. Kyro had to push everything he had within him back in order to let her go. It was one of the hardest things he ever had to do in his life, but now she was back with them.
His wolf crawled under his skin, wanting to get as close to her as he was. Her sounds of pleasure only made him harder, and he knew with everything inside of him that he needed to get a taste of her.
There was no plan to bite her, but his wolf needed to mark her, if only a little to prove that she belonged to them and no one else. When she screamed out her release, his wolf chose that moment to strike.
Even her blood tasted sweet on his tongue, and he knew then that his brother had done the same thing to keep her close to them this time.
Hanna’s pleasure seemed to only increase with their bite. She shivered between them. So responsive. So sweet.
Kyro had the deepest urge to discover all the ways they could get her to respond to their attentions on her body. Her curves filled his hands and made his wolf proud.
He lapped at his bite on her neck, helping to soothe the sting of it. That’s when she tensed up between them.
“What just happened?” she asked.
“We had a little taste of you,” Kyro said, “and now we want the whole meal.”
“Mate,” Derek whispered against her ear. “You’re our mate, and we’re never letting you go again.”
“Mate?” She pushed away from them until they were no longer touching her. “What do you meanmate?”
His body felt her absence and needed her back in his arms, but he could see they had startled her. The bites hadn’t freaked her out, but the wordmatehad?
They were going to have to take their time getting to know Hanna and all the woman that she was, and he planned on taking his time doing that if she’d let them.
“You can feel it, can’t you, Hanna?” Kyro asked. “The pull between us. It’s because you’re ours as much as we’re yours.”
“That doesn’t make any sense,” Hanna said. “I’m a witch, not a shifter.”
“Finding a mate doesn’t always mean they’re one of us,” Derek said. “Let us explain.”
“No!” She held her hands up. “I need to get out of here.” She muttered something under her breath and vanished before their eyes.
“Where did she go?” Kyro asked.
“She’s a witch, so I’m guessing she used magic to transport somewhere,” Derek said.
“We have to find her.” Kyro didn’t waste any more time to shift back to his wolf.
“Kyro!” Derek called after him, his wolf falling in pace with him. “Don’t you think we need to think about what we’re going to say to her first?”
“We can figure that out after we find her,” Kyro said, catching her scent outside the cave. “I’m not letting her leave town again.”
Six years ago, he had listened to his brother when he first came across Hanna. Even then, he felt a primal attraction to her he never had for any other woman. He was confused when his brother said he thought she was their mate.
They were young and didn’t know any better. If they had, they never would have left her alone on that beach and given her the chance to leave town. Maybe things could have worked out differently, but their past with Hanna didn’t matter. All that mattered was that she was back, and Kyro wasn’t about to make the same mistake twice.
Her scent ended in the parking lot, but there was something deeper that pulled him along. They bit her. It wasn’t a completed mating mark, but it was something.
“Do you feel that?” Derek asked. “It’s like we’re still connected to her.”
“I feel it,” Kyro said. “Should we still be able to sense her like this?”
