ye, Da?
I d like ye to come over this evening, son.
There was a pause, as if the man was gathering his
thoughts. There s somethin that s come up that
we need to discuss with ye.
His mate lifted a brow and glanced Reb s way.
Sure, Da. When do ye need me to swing over?
Eight thirty this evening. Yer mother and I will
be waitin . Before Daithi could respond, the line
disconnected with a click.
Daithi s brows shot up. Huh. I wonder what s
wrong.
Do you want me to come with you? The
words were out of Reb s mouth before he could
think better of them. Reb knew his mate was
technically out with his family, and that they
didn t seem to approve. He wondered what they
could possibly want.
He watched Daithi nibble his bottom lip before
shaking his head. Daithi gave Reb an apologetic
smile. That probably wouldn t be wise. No sense
subjectin ye to their snide comments. The smile
turned more genuine. How about ye meet me

back at me place this evening? How about around
ten or so?
Reb grinned, liking the sound of that. Sounds
like a plan. While you re over at your parents, I ll
catch up with my alpha and see if he learned
anything from Killian. He prayed they could get
all their problems wrapped up quickly. Figuring
out how to move his mate across the ocean to be
with him was going to be difficult enough.
He returned his mate to his home, grabbing
Daithi s arm before he could get out of the SUV.
At Daithi s questioning look, Reb whispered,
Please be careful. With his free hand, he gripped
Daithi s neck and tugged him in for a too-brief
kiss. You remember that there s a phooka out
there, okay? Stay on guard.
I will, Daithi promised.
Giving in to his desire, Reb closed the distance
between their lips again. This time, he slipped his
tongue in deep, tasting his mate, enjoying the
heady, masculine taste of him. He felt his dick go
ramrod straight in his jeans again, but knew he
could do nothing about it. That didn t stop him
from plundering his mate s mouth, loving the way
Daithi sank into his embrace and whimpered so
nicely into his mouth.
Finally, Reb pulled away. He rested his
forehead against Daithi s. Both men panted, their
breaths mingling. You re everything to me,

Daithi Murphy. I ll see you tonight.
Daithi nodded. I look forward to it.
From the glazed expression filling Daithi s lust-
blown eyes, Reb didn t doubt his words. After one
more kiss, Reb released him. He watched in
silence as Daithi grabbed his bag and slipped from
the car. A moment later, his mate gave him a quick
wave and disappeared into his home.
Reb swept his gaze over his surroundings, but
nothing caught his attention. He brought the SUV
roaring back to life and pointed the vehicle toward
his pack members. A quick phone call to Frankie
told him that everyone was at Killian s place, so he
headed there.
Conor opened the door after Reb rang the bell,
ushering him into the home. The sprawling
Georgian style country home had many rooms
and was even bigger than Declan s massive
hunting lodge. He knew the beta and enforcers
also lived in the place, which meant more space
was needed for the wolves.
As Reb followed Conor through the manor, he
discreetly sniffed the man and caught his brother s
scent on him. He grinned, knowing he himself was
probably reeking of Daithi s smell. At least
everyone seemed to be enjoying their vacation.
He entered a large room that appeared to be a
cross between a study and a library, noticing the

left and back wall was lined with bookshelves,
save for the two floor-to-ceiling windows breaking
up the stacks. On the right side, a large desk and
several leather couches took up the space. A
number of shifters occupied the area, including his
own alpha, alpha-mate, and their guards, plus
Killian and his shifters. Several heavy looking
tomes were open on the coffee table in the center
of the couches.
Declan greeted him. Reb, it s good that ye re
here. We think we may have found a way to
discover who s behind the phooka s aggression.
His alpha looked beyond him, then at him again.
Where s yer mate?
Reb appreciated his alpha s concern, not to
mention his easy acceptance of the situation.
Daithi received a call from his parents. They
asked him to drop by this evening, he explained.
Everythin okay on that front? Killian asked,
cocking his head.
Shrugging, Reb inclined his head to both
alphas, then moved forward and dropped into an [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
