Mated to the Alpha and His Beta

Xander

Who the hell was this guy, and what was he doing with Lanie?

Jealously bubbled up inside me like a volcano ready to erupt.

Hunter pawed at the ground, his teeth bared, ready to pounce, but | held him back,

Not right now.

| was about to shift back, clothes be da mned, and give him a piece of my mind, when another scent hit me.

It wasn’t the warm, animalistic scent | was used to with other wolves. It was something colder, more ancient-seeming He wasn'ta shifter.

But he wasn’t human, either.....

Zane’s muzzle was raised to the sky also trying to decipher the strange scent.

“What are we dealing with here?” he asked me.

1 hated to admit my ignorance, especially since he was with Lanie. “I don’t know, but I’m sure we can take him, whoever he Suddenly Lanie stood up and turned around to face us.

“Don’t attack, Xander!” she called.

S$ hit. She could

hear us.

The man stood up, too, and turned around to face us.

He wore an amused expression on his face, and another hot wave of jealousy surged through me..

He was handsome, even | could see that, and | was sure Lanie felt the same.

So what the f uck were they doing here alone together?

“He knows who you are,” Lanie gestured toward the man. “I’m in good hands.”

Good hands?

And what exactly was he doing with those “good hands?”

Zane snarled. He was thinking the same thing.

“Fine.” Lanie planted her hands on her hips. “If you're afraid of the competition, and don’t feel your equipment is up to snuff.” she raised an eyebrow, “then by all means, stand over there and continue barking at us.”

Astrained sound ripped from my chest, something between a howl and a snarl

And then | was shifting and marching straight over to Lanie, Zane not far behind me.

Our equipment was very much up to snuff.

Zane and | were about to remind her of that.

“Who. The f uck. Are you?” | demanded, locking eyes with the mo therfu cker who was still just standing there smirking.

| was about to wipe that s hit straight off his face.

Zane stepped up, foxing the guy with an ice-cold glare. “And what the f u ck are you doing with our mate?”

Lanie

Nope.

No way was | gonna play this “who’s got the biggest di ck” game.

Even if Xander’s and Zane’s di cks were very big..

Go ds, and the way Xander’s had felt when he pushed himself inside me. It was a kind of pleasure I’d never felt before, and if | was honest, | was dying to feel it again.

And Zane’s..it was so huge | couldn't even take the whole thing into my mouth. Maybe if | tried again, | could...

Nope, nope, nope. Not going there again.

| shook myself out of it before the flush on my face or the scent no doubt flooding between my legs could give me away. Ineeded to shut this sh it down right now.

“Did you two forget about the conversation we had where you told me | could have fun so long as | helped you raise your pups? | can still do Alice's Luna duties and get my rocks off where need to”

| grabbed Braden’s muscular arm and pulled him closer

“So...meet my sidepiece.”

| glanced sideways at Braden. He narrowed his eyes ever so slightly before a wide grin spread across his face.

“Braden,” he said. “So nice to meet you both

He extended his hand, and Xander and Zane just stared, their faces twisting with disgust.

| could feel the rage radiating off of Xander as he contemplated how to react.

“Don't..” Xander took a step closer to Braden, pushing his hand aside. “F ucking...” He jammed a finger into his chest. “Speak tome.”

Zane placed a hand on Xander’s shoulder and spoke low into his ear.

“Hey, we don’t need a dead body on our hands on top of everything else.”

Braden scoffed, and my heart stopped.

| raised my eyebrow at him.

He was a vampire and obviously not afraid of shifters, but it was two against one, and Xander and Zane were huge compared to him. He was really pressing his luck.

Braden met my gaze and gave me a crooked little impish grin

If | didn’t step in, he was gonna get his head ripped off.

Literally

| pushed myself between Braden and Xander

“Can you two leave me alone, before | call off our deal?”

It probably wasn’t the wisest thing to double down on my blackmail threats, but after everything rd heard from Braden about the way she wolves were treated, | didn’t have much patience for Xander’s Alpha bu Ils hit right nowContentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“You wouldn't. You have just as much to lose as we do,” Xander spat. “I know why you’re really doing this, Lanie, so you better not f ucking test me.”
