Nathan quivered in the cage like a shaking leaf. Cyrus hadn’t even spoken to the pathetic excuse for a man yet, and the human was about two seconds from pissing himself out of fear.

Cyrus glanced at Jensen, who leaned up against the back wall. The other werewolf only pretended to be at ease. He could smell the tangy taste of Jensen’s vigilance across the room.

“Join me,” he called out to Jensen, and his pack mate walked over immediately.

“Yes, my Alpha?” Jensen held eye contact for a second before he looked slightly down. It was the appropriate behavior to show respect, although Cyrus had no doubt that, given the provocation, Jensen could easily meet his gaze for extended periods of time.

“Anyone abuse him last night?”

“No.” Jensen shook his head. “I was here the whole time. He got fed, watered, and was allowed to use the bathroom. He even got to take a shower this morning.”

“Fed, watered, showered. That’s good.” He laughed, and Jensen’s eyebrows furrowed downward.

“Sir, I didn’t mean that to be funny.”

“I know.” He patted Jensen on the arm, and Jensen stared at the spot he’d touched as though he couldn’t believe the contact.

“He thought your phrasing was funny.” Betsy walked up next to him and handed him the coffee she’d purchased across the street.

“How so?” Jensen followed the conversation. .

“It’s like you were talking about a dog, sort of.” Betsy shrugged. “If you’d said you let him outside, it would have fit perfectly.”

Cyrus smiled into his cup. Betsy understood his sense of humor perfectly. Bizarre, really. Very few people ever followed the direction of his thoughts.

“Sir, if I may say, the whole pack is thrilled by your true mating. We look forward to your moon ceremony.” Jensen smiled broadly. Cyrus wasn’t entirely certain he’d ever seen that particular expression on the other man’s face before.

“Thank you.”

“What’s a moon ceremony?” Betsy sipped her drink.

“Kind of like a wedding. But better.” He’d get into the specifics with her later. Someone would have to preside over it since he couldn’t do it himself, and she’d have to be comfortable with the nudity.

“My mate is looking forward to the movies tonight,” Jensen continued.

“Movies tonight?” Cyrus regarded at Betsy. “This is the first I’m hearing of it.”

“Oh.” Betsy shook her head. “Lake asked me if I’d like to get together with some of the women sometime to do something. Very vague. I had no idea she’d planned it for tonight. This is a lot sooner than I expected.”

“Sounds like my sister.” Cyrus grinned. Leave it to Lake to disrupt the evening he had planned. “You should go. I have Alexei to deal with and this fool here. You’ll be safe with the pack, and after the movies, we’ll meet up back home.”

“Oh. Okay.” She flipped her hair over her shoulder, and it was everything he could do to not to tug at her shirt to look at his mark there. He salivated to see it. Betsy turned to Jensen. “What are we seeing?”

“I’m afraid I don’t know, ma’am.
