underground.
    “No,” Kade said, giving her a brilliant smile. “We live in houses. Dry Creek pack live in rather rustic accommodations, but I understand that Hensen’s pack is far more modern. I suppose we’ll get to see his home since we’re mates. I can’t imagine he would want to stay here. He’s actually quite well thought of in his own pack. And now that they don’t have anything against unusual matings it shouldn’t be a problem.”
    She smiled when Gavin put his arm around Kade and pulled him close. “I think you’re overwhelming her with a few too many details.”
    “Sorry,” the younger man said as he blushed and wrapped his arms around Gavin’s waist. “I’m just a little bit excited. I never expected to find one mate, let alone three.”
    “Three?” Gavin asked, seeming almost confused by the arm he had wrapped around Kade.
    But his demeanor changed a moment later, a gun springing into his hand seemingly from nowhere. He pushed Kade behind him, his attention on the corner of the bunker where there seemed to be some sort of doorway.
    “It’s just me,” a deep voice said before a naked man stepped around the corner. He was huge, maybe even bigger than Gavin.
    “This is Hensen,” Kade said quickly, moving aside so that the newcomer could loom over her bed as well. Gavin quickly holstered his weapon and took a step back. It seemed that Kade’s declaration that he had three mates had really thrown him, but it was clear that Gavin was going to protect them all regardless of his own confusion.
    “Hi, Maggie,” Hensen said with a smile. “How’re you feeling?”
    She shrugged. Was there any sort of answer that didn’t sound crazy? “Fine. I think. I…um…am I really a werewolf?”
    “Mostly,” he said, dropping to his knees and leaning over to see her throat. “It’ll take several weeks for the change to be complete, but the initial stages took care of your wounds.”
    “So is she impervious to injury now?” Gavin asked, sounding just a little bit less freaked out than he had when Kade mentioned having three mates.
    “Actually, no,” Hensen said as he stood up and turned to the big human. “Until she can change easily between forms she’s vulnerable. She’s stronger than a human now, but still unable to heal like that again until she has the ability to morph into a wolf and back again.”
    “Do you have enemies?” The question was certainly blunt enough to be taken as an insult. Fortunately Hensen didn’t seem to take it as such.
    “No,” he replied easily, “unless you want to count humans. Rumor suggests our experience with military wouldn’t be very pleasant.”
    “You shouldn’t listen to rumors,” Gavin said offhandedly, but it was clear he wasn’t entirely comfortable with the knowledge he was gaining. “So, now what?”
    “Now we get to take Maggie home. Well sort of. We need to drop by Dry Creek and pick up the rest of my supplies, but since the assignment is pretty much complete, the alpha ordered me and my mates to come home.”
    “What about Suzanne?” Gavin asked in a worried-sounding voice. “Did you get to speak to her? Is she okay?”
    “She’s fine. Excited to see you. Surprised that you’d come looking for her.”
    “Who’s Suzanne?” Maggie asked in a jealous, snippy voice. Good grief, considering the day she’d had, getting territorial over a man she didn’t know was kind of…well, actually no, it wasn’t “kind of” anything—it was insane.
    “Suzanne is Gavin’s sister,” Hensen said with a wide grin on his face. “You feel it, too.” It wasn’t said as a question. More like a statement of fact.
    “Feel what?” she asked suspiciously.
    “That Gavin belongs with us.”

    “What the fuck?”
    The stupid thing was that even as the words left his mouth, a part of Gavin knew that what Hensen said was true. Gavin couldn’t for the life of him explain it, but he was deeply attracted to all three people in the
