KYLE
My wolf growled in my chest, desperate to get out. He wanted to howl at the injustice of it all.
How could it be possible that Monique was Xanderâs fated mate... and mine? That wasnât how the whole fated matesâ thing worked.
But as she stared at me, every single part of me knew it was true. She was mine. Not because she was my Alphaâs mate, but because she was my fated mate... independent of Xander.
âKyle?â Monique whispered, meeting my gaze with a question in her expression.
I nodded, because I couldnât lie. Not to her. âYes, Monique. Youâre my fated mate as well as Xanderâs. I have no idea how thatâs possible, but itâs true.â
Her eyes welled up, then a tear slid down her beautiful face.
I jumped to my feet. âYouâre crying.â
It was a ridiculous thing to say, as it was obvious to all of us.
Is it because of me? She didnât cry when she found out Xander was her mate.
Horror raced through me at the thought she might not want me at all.
Then she laughed and swiped at the tears on her face. âIâm just a little... overwhelmed, thatâs all.â
âItâs not because of... me?â I asked.
She shook her head and hurried over to where I was standing, but halted before she reached me. She stood still, as if waiting for something from me. I reached out for her hand. She didnât resist. Instead, she took my hand and stepped closer, and then lifted her face for me.
I didnât hesitate. I pulled her against my body and kissed her, hard.
She made a soft little moaning sound, so I wrapped my arms around her waist and tugged her tighter.
A warning growl rolled in from behind me, but I ignored my Alpha. Heâd kissed her first, and now it was my turn. I wasnât stopping just because he was uncomfortable.
He hadnât even waited for me.
When I pressed deeper, Moniqueâs lips opened and I lapped at her with my tongue.
God, she tasted perfect.
Another, louder growl reverberated through the room. Monique pulled away, breaking our kiss.
She glanced at Xander then back to me, her eyes dark with worry. âThis is going to get really complicated, isnât it?â
I clenched my jaw as my wolf rose, begging to take over and let him shift. But I pushed him down. âYeah. I think it is.â
We turned to face Xander, whose face was blazing as his human side warred with his shifter.
âXander?â Monique held out a hand and drew him closer. âHow about we eat? Will you both do that, for me?â
She released our hands and slid into her chair. Then she sat waiting, tapping her fingertips on the tabletop.
I can do this. For her, I can do this.
I glared at my Alpha and he glared right back. We both sat, and I reached for a sandwich, the bread soft and fresh between my fingers.
I tore off a bite and chewed, not taking my gaze off Xander. I tried to hold onto my annoyance, but the sweet bread and tasty chicken filling wore down my resolve.
