Chapter 9

“By the Lord, Reule had better bed that wench soon,” Rye growled as he restlessly paced the dining hal . “Mara is going to start thinking her pussy is made of gold if I keep frequenting her bed like this.”

“You mean it’s not?” Saber joked, chuckling softly. Rye was the most sensitive of the Pack and he was suffering the worst of it, but they were al feeling the backlash of Reule’s unfulfil ed needs.

“I don’t get it,” Delano grumbled. “Reule has chased women before. Wanted women before. And yeah, it’s made us al a little edgy because of our connection, but this is unreal! It’s practical y savage! What to hel is it about her that’s so different? Isn’t anyone else worried about her being this close to Reule?”

“That’s your frustration talking,” Darcio countered, by far the calmest of the Packmates. “The fact is, Reule is in mnise, and it’s been a long time since he gave himself over to it. Mystique is provoking him whether he wants it or not. Stop obsessing over your erections and pay attention. Look at them. Feel them. Feel Reule when he stands back and watches her.”

Darcio leaned forward toward them. “We were al giving him a hard time today by flirting with her, and it was a kick, but did any of you real y feel that jealousy? Jealousy. From Reule, who cares about only two things: Jeth and the wel -being of this Pack. He displayed hostility toward us because we were buzzing around a woman he has marked as one hundred percent Prime territory. Kidding aside, if any of us dared to touch her, we’d find ourselves in the middle of a chal enge more savage than we could even imagine. Pack oaths would mean nothing. It would be as if one of us chal enged his rule.”

“Darcio, you have a point?” Rye said shortly.

Darcio knew al their tempers were a little taut because of the hormones flowing so strongly through them. “The point is, my friends, that you need to start looking at Mystique and wondering how you wil feel when she becomes Prima.”

“To hel !” Delano barked.

Saber snorted. “Reule would never wed an outlander.”

“I can’t imagine Reule wed at al , and neither should you, Darcio. You know him best of al of us.

He’s not going to get tied down until he has no other choice,” Rye said.

“Rye, that remark would be true if Reule had been forced to choose from the flock of marriageable noblewomen he considers to be uptight, grasping, and spoiled. He would have done his duty eventual y, but now there’s an opportunity for him to do his duty, but to do it with someone he actual y likes a great deal.

“Saber, while marrying an outlander would be risky and something he’d never have considered doing before this, I believe Mystique has changed his mind about what an outlander is capable of learning and appreciating about the Sánge.” Darcio took a deep breath and leaned back with a contented half-smile on his lips.
