I want to tell him to back the fuck off, that she's mine. Except she isn't. She isn't anyone's.

Except for the loser Michael who has been claimed by her wolf.

Fuck! I punch my thigh as we walk. We should be taking her to the witches to figure out how to unlock her wolf from the asshole, not sacrificing her to them.

Dex grabs her around the waist and lifts her over a poisonous snake and she laughs as he spins her around before setting her down to safety.

I can tell he wants her just as much as me. Damn it. I'm a fool for letting my cock rule my head.

Even if she's ours, I wouldn't want to share her with another man the way she seems to want to share herself with the three of us. Even if that other man was Raven or Dex.

We've been going for hours and Raven's scent disappears just as the sun starts to set.

I don't want to stop, not when we're on his track, but staying awake all night when the lost ones will be waking isn't going to be possible either.

She's mine. Even if I can't have her.

It's a long walk and the longer I'm around Juniper, the more I want to break our pack's laws for her.

Somehow I'll stop the witches from killing her. Hopefully without screwing us all in the process.

Juniper

As Aspen and Dex track Raven's trail through the woods, I can't help the unease that sinks in my gut. Both of them keep giving each other sideways glances like they're silently communicating and it's about me. Especially when Dex looks over his shoulder at me with a guilty expression on his face.

I push it off to me being tired and anxious that Raven just took off without a word.

We walk in a small formation at first, me between them, but then Dex slides to the front with Aspen at the back and it feels like I'm being pushed aside.

Both of them are gorgeous. I can't shake how much I'm attracted to them. How they look at me like they want to devour me.

Even Raven when he thinks I'm not looking at all the times he's been keeping a safe distance between us, but I keep getting the feeling that he wants to touch me too. I glance over my shoulder at Aspen; he's been slower behind me and hasn't kept as much distance between us as Dex has.

I turn around to face Aspen, putting a hand on his arm. "Something wrong?"

"No," he answers, but he looks away, his eyes sliding to Dex.

I turn to see Dex staring at me.

"What?" I ask.

He shrugs, but the movement is forced. "Sorry, nothing."

"What?" I struggle not to scream.

"Nothing,” Aspen mutters, but I can't help but get the feeling he's lying.

"Is there something you two aren't telling me?"

"We didn't mean to upset you." Dex's voice pulls me out of my head and I let out a small sigh. He takes a few steps closer like he's wanting to tell me. "It's just odd that Raven took off like that. Never seen him so upset."

"You know..." I bite my lip, thinking about how I think he's attracted me like they are and I'd be lying if I wasn't equally into them too. All three of them. How crazy is that? My wolf headbutts against my chest, whining that Michael is our fated mate, not any of these wolves. "Never mind."

"No, tell us." Aspen takes a step closer, his hand brushing up my arm and sending shivers through me.

Flashes of me with him and Dex have my knees weakening. My libido raises her head with a purr, but I can't give in to her now. Not until I know why Raven left.
