proud of himself though, like he had won whatever argument or discussion the two of them had just had.
    "Marcus and I talked," Connor said, "and we want you to choose between the two of us."
    I must have looked as confused as I felt.
    Marcus tried this time, "the idea of sharing you was a good one, but ultimately it didn't work."
    Marcus was too diplomatic to say why it hadn't worked, but I shot Connor a bit of a look anyway.
    "And since we have added a second female to the pack," Marcus continued, "there is the possibility at least that both Connor and I can have a female to ourselves."
    "I thought that I would be drawn to the alpha wolf of the pack no matter what when my mating heat starts. Isn't that what you told me back when we first met?"
    Marcus nodded, "if you were to choose Connor, you and he would have to leave the pack during your mating heat and go somewhere else. A hotel room in the city perhaps. Packs used to be much more hierarchical, and the alpha would claim all the females for himself, but a mating couple temporarily leaving the pack is a modern allowance that has been made to make it more comfortable for wolves who are still attached to the human custom of one man and one woman. If you choose to be with Connor I would make this allowance for the two of you."
    I could see Connor bristling a little at what Marcus was alluding to there, that Marcus would allow us to leave the pack during my mating heat. I wondered though, if that was truly what Marcus wanted. Connor obviously thought that I would choose him over Marcus in a heart beat, which was why he had looked so smug when the two of them had first taken me aside.
    But Connor didn't know what Marcus and I had been getting closer. Not too close, I had been planning to leave just before Connor came back, after all. But we were closer than Connor thought, and it was not the easy decision that he seemed to assume it was.
    "I don't like this," I said, "I don't want to choose between the two of you. It feels wrong."
    "You have to choose," Connor said quickly and decisively, starting to look a little annoyed that I hadn't blurted his name out as my choice already, "we have decided that this is how things are going to be."
    That attitude made me want to say Marcus' name just to spite him. But for all his ridiculous bravado, Connor was right, I wasn't going to choose Marcus over him. The connection I had with Connor was real, and deep, and the connection that I felt with Marcus had only just started to take root.
    I started to say Connor's name and then sighed. It wasn't what I wanted. I wanted them both. It was crazy, and even just two weeks previous I never would have thought like that. Maybe it was all the time I had spent trying to engage with the wolf side of my mind that was making me feel like I wanted them both. Maybe my attachment to the normal human way of life was weakening. Whatever the cause was, I knew what I wanted, and I wasn't going to settle for less.
    "I want both of you," I said before I could really think too hard about it.
    The two of them were looking at me like they expected a 'but' to follow what I had just said.
    "That's it," I said, looking from one to the other, "I refuse to choose. Or I guess I choose both of you. We were all supposed to be in this together and I developed feelings for both of you and now you want me to choose. But it's not fair. So you're both going to share me like we first agreed to."
    I couldn't be sure but I thought I saw just the faintest hint of a smile on Marcus' face at that. Which meant I had been right, it was what he wanted to. The look on Connor's face was much less subtle though. He looked like certain victory had been snatched right out from between his teeth, and was more than a little angry about it.
    "The two of you need to learn to get along better," I said, looking from one to the other. "If you cant even share me then how are you going to lead an entire pack of werewolves?"
    Neither of them said
