wear your seatbelt.” Motherfucker!
I widen my eyes and furrow my brows, “Well Devin’s not here, so he can shove what he wants up his ass.” Jude’s loud laugh startles me and Lev slams his lips against one another in an effort to hide his growing smile.
“Let me tell you a secret Ari,” Jude speaks up from the front seat sounding very happy with himself, “as long as us wolves are within a few miles of each other, we can concentrate and hear what each other are thinking and saying.” I suck a breath in and scrunch my nose. The car slows down and Jude pulls over to the right side of the dirt road. I look ahead to see that car stopped as well. And then through the back window to see that car pull behind us.
I bite the inside of my cheek, “Does that mean that he can hear me too?”
“Well no, he can’t hear you,” Jude puts the car in park and twists his body so he can look back at me, “but he can listen in on what we’re thinking about what you’re saying.” I start to panic at the realization that the alpha heard me disrespect him. Fuck, that’s probably like telling the Godfather in the mob to fuck off.
“Why…” I want to ask why we pulled over since we seem to be in the middle of nowhere, but the words are stuck in my now swollen throat. Lev opens his door and gets out. My hands start to shake. He leans in the backseat with his hands on the roof bracing himself.
“Relax Ari, we’re just switching people around. We’re only a few minutes away, but Devin thinks it’s best that you see him now.” Fuck.
Chapter 4: Devin
Shove it up my ass? I kept my face emotionless in front of the guys, but I couldn’t help the smile on my way over to her car. I’m glad she’s feisty. My mate, my Ariana. I love the way her name sounds on my tongue. I suppress a groan just thinking about saying her name while I pound into her.
I stare at my mate from the front passenger seat. Liz can’t seem to get close enough to her. I can’t help my grin. She can’t get close enough to her alpha . That must be why they got to be so close. My mate is alpha as fuck; the powerful force is rolling off of her gorgeous body in waves. If I was a lesser wolf, I’d feel the need to bow to her. It’s fucking sexy. She’s subdued though. My grin vanishes and the impassive mask returns. Something’s beaten her alpha down, and I’m gonna find out exactly what happened.
Liz’s a cute girl, but she’s been getting on my damn nerves. At least she’s stopped her wailing. Out of the two of them, why’d it have to be my mate that passed out? I swear I was two second away from choking her friend out to just put her to sleep. It really would’ve been for the best. But Dom wouldn’t have enjoyed that. Caleb wouldn’t have liked it either. I feel so fucking sorry for my Betas. Having to share your mate – fuck that! Dom’s already marching towards an uphill battle. His mate denied him. Screamed at him, pushed him away and beat him - repeatedly. She broke his fucking heart. She didn’t calm in his arms like Ariana did for me. She only pushed away from me to get to her friend, her pack. That’s what an alpha does. A chill runs down my spine; that better have been the only reason she pushed away.
Dom shouldn’t worry though, Liz’s heat will come soon enough and she’ll be begging for him … or Caleb. They’re so fucked. I’m going to have to figure something out before they kill each other.
The headaches don’t stop there. Vince felt his mate in the stadium just like I felt Ariana last year. It’s gonna be hell keeping him off human territory. I should know.
And of course I’m fucked because I can’t tell Ariana she’s my mate. If I did, then Dom and Caleb would have to figure out a way to tell Lizie that she
