Chapter Fifty-Seven: Friend or foe. Or family?

I let out a snarl and the wolf lowered itself to the ground, his big head dipping down. He wasn’t as big as Jason and I, but he was bigger than Aaron’s slim form.

The sunlight brought out the shades of red and brown in his long fur. He wasn’t sleek like a lot of us were but instead his coat looked better suited to an area with snow and harsh winters. His honey- colored eyes flicked back up to us and I let out a low growl, pushing Tillie back several steps in case I needed to fight. I didn’t want her to get hurt.

If something happened to her, I doubted the others would be able to forgive me. I knew I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself.

“You gonna shift, or am I?” I growled, cracking my neck to try to loosen my muscles. I wanted to be ready to shift quick and strike fast. The wolf shook its head.

The popping sound of bones and muscles shifting into place sounded out and Tillie moved closer to me. Her hand resting on my arm as his fur drew back up into his skin. When his shift was over, a man with short, cropped copper colored hair crouched before us. His head was still down and his lean body was folded in on itself.

“Oh my god, he’s naked.” Tillie gasped before clapping her hand over her eyes.

“Happens with a shift, sweets. Clothes usually don’t make it.” I said, eyeing the man. He hadn’t moved, but he had raised his head slightly to look at me. “Turn around and fuck right on off back to your pack. This is a fight you won’t win.”

“I’m not here to fight. I’m here for my brother.” He said, standing to his full height.

“Well, as you can see, he isn’t here.”

“No, I’m here on behalf of Gideon.” He said, taking a step closer and I shook my head.

“I don’t care if you are here on behalf of the queen of fucking England. You’re not coming near my mate.” I growled, Tillie started to move closer, but I let out another low growl.

“I wouldn’t hurt my brother and if I hurt her or touched her, that would hurt him. Besides, she’s hot, but you’re more my type.” He said, his eyes raking over my body. Pausing at the thin rings that went through my nipples, his tongue swiped over his lower lip, and I saw his pupils dilate with hints of a dark hunger that I more than understood.

I lifted an eyebrow. He wasn’t bad looking; his body was toned in all of the right places. His cock, while soft, was long and thick. I bet his ass was just as fuckable as the rest of them. He smelled fucking good, too.

Not as good as Tillie and Ryan, but there were hints of vanilla in his scent that teased me. Making me wonder what his skin would taste like, how he would feel writhing beneath me with my cock buried balls deep in his ass.

Fuck, what was wrong with me? I shouldn’t be thinking like this. It wasn’t the time or place, but my body didn’t seem to care. It was like! had been drugged.

if I weren’t with Tillie and Ryan, I would have taken him up on his offer. But I didn’t want to piss Tillie off. I had already seen what she was like and this wasn’t the time or the place for that. I doubted that my mates would be cool with that now and I was more than happy with thern. If Jason wanted to join in on the fun, I was cool with that, and given by how turned on Tillie had been the night of her claiming. I doubted that it would be a problem.

“What are you?”

“Me, I’m nothing special.” He said. I eyed him, pressing my lips together and pulling in another lung full of that sweet scent. His eyes widened and he shook his head as a light seemed to fill his eyes.

“You smell my brother. It’s not me, I promise.”

Damn, I shouldn’t be feeling like that just from the slightest scent of his brother. I still didn’t trust him even if he said he was Gideon’s brother. For all I knew, he could have plans to try to steal Tillie away.

“You’re his brother?” Tillie asked and I looked back at her. She still had her hand clamped over her eyes and I couldn’t help but smile at how innocent she was. I liked that, that she wasn’t shy with us but didn’t want to see another man naked.

“Yeah, Gideon told me about you.” He said and I looked away from Tillie and back towards the wolf shifter in front of me. “You guys were going to meet by the lake near the bear’s place.”

“We were. The bear is my dad.” Tillie said and I watched his already pale skin grow whiter.

“Leave it to Gideon to want to mate with a bear cub.” He breathed in deep, tilting his head to the side. “You don’t smell like a shifter, though,”

“She’s not, she-* I started to say but a howl sounded out that was far too close for my comfort. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“We need to go. That’s Jamison and he’s out for blood.” His eyes grew wide as he stepped back towards the trees. “He’s still pissed that the omega has found his mate.”

“Your brother is an omega?” I asked, swallowing hard. No wonder Tillie felt so drawn to him and he smelled so damn good. How had she resisted him? If I were in her place, would I have been able to

resist the allure of an omega?

“Yeah, and Jamison isn’t happy about losing his fuck buddy.” His honey-colored gaze flicked to Tillie and I nodded. Well shit, I wouldn’t be either if I had an omega. The stories that I’d heard about them were the stuff of legends.

“I’m going to trust you. But if you fuck us over, I’ll rip your throat out.” | growled before grabbing Tillie’s hand and pulling her with me to follow Gideon’s brother.
