I smell her.
She’s in the doorway behind them, tears in her beautiful blue eyes. And fuck, it feels like they’re holding me hostage more than these restraints. She heard. She knows she’s mated to a monster that killed his own family. Why the fuck did she have to be here when I came back here last night?
“Let’s all go for a drive,” she says to them with her eyes on me. “Give him a couple hours so he can shift and heal. But we aren’t leaving the keys. And if that doesn’t stop you and you’re not here when we get back, Iwillhunt you down.”
I scoff. But I feel the chill of my wolf’s presence just under the surface. My dick is hard and I’m fuming that she’s standing this close to three alphas, one of which is unmated. I’m also fuming that she’s standing this close to me.
“Give me your word you’ll stay and let us try to figure this out,” she demands.
“Why would my word mean anything to you?” I ask. “You know that asshole Wyatt Meadows got gifted a mate too and he was a piece of shit.”
“Linc says you’re a good, solid guy. I trust his opinion.”
“I make no promises and will likely deliver even less,” I fire back.
“Okay, then I’ll come over there and give you the first aid myself. Excuse me, guys.”
Tyson and Mason make space for her to walk between them and my hand flies up.
“Woman, stop!” I demand.
She stops, but her eyes are filled with challenge.
“Go for a drive. I’ll shift to heal. I don’t know how long it’ll take to shift back.”
“Put the muzzle on as an extra layer,” Linc suggests.
“Fine.”
“We’re not leaving you the keys,” she snaps.
Fuck.
Fate gave me a beautiful, stubborn, fucking brat.

“Let’s go back,” I say.
Linc looks over his shoulder at me in the back seat. “It hasn’t even been ten minutes.”
“Well duh. You think I want you taking me for ice cream? I want to go back now that he’s likely shifted. He’s restrained and wearing the mask. We’ve got the weapons. I want to test things.”
“Fuck,” he mutters.
“How will we know if we don’t test things?” I ask.
“She’s right,” Tyson says.
“Mm hm,” Mase agrees.
“There’s no way it’s a fair test if his new mate is surrounded by three alphas. You guys know that!” Linc argues.
“Then don’t come with me,” I retort.
“Absolutely not,” Linc denies.
