Chapter Twenty-Five

Molly

I was feeling frazzled.

Nils was lovely, kind, and looked like a hotter version of Thor, which I didn’t think possible. He’d pulled his hair back into a messy bun, and he had a smattering of facial hair. I did briefly wonder how that hair would feel on my thighs as he did unholy things to me.

When he’d opened the car door, I had wanted to drool at the scent of gingerbread. Every member of pack Stone smelled delicious and edible, and Nils was no different. Casually dressed in grey sweatpants and a black Henley, he looked far too good.

Then he offered to cook for me, fussed Potato and gave her mint, and acted all around sweet. How the hell was I meant to resist that?

Maverick had been worming his way into my affection over the last few days, and Nils had barreled in with a sweet, boyish smile.

Zach . . . he could still get bent.

When Maverick kissed me in the kitchen, I had been shocked that he would do that in front of Nils. Then again, they were a pack. They shared—everything.

Including me, potentially.

I could feel the panic rising in my chest as Nils went back to cooking. How was I going to handle multiple alphas? I would fail, I couldn’t do it. There was no⁠—

“Molly, do you want to bring Potato on in? Everything is set up.” Grayson spoke from the doorway, his gaze concerned.

Taking the opportunity, I scrambled up, Potato in my arms, and scampered over to him. I followed him down a short hallway to the conservatory, where there was everything Potato could need. Space, litter tray, hay, toys, and even a few blankets.

“Thank you,” I mumbled, gently placing her in the run. Unfazed, the rabbit made herself at home, burrowing right into the blankets.

Standing up, I took a deep breath. Unease and a shaky sensation filled me. Turning to leave, I was about to give Grayson a small smile and another thank you when his arm snaked around my waist, pulling me back and gently pressing me against the wall.

“Hey,” he said in a low voice. “I can feel what you’re feeling, remember? Talk to me, Molly. What’s going through your head?”

“It’s all a bit . . . much. I didn’t plan for this and it’s feeling very real.”

My scent was probably making my emotions crystal clear. Stupid bond. Stupid scent. Keeping a secret from Grayson would be downright impossible, thanks to the bond.

“You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to, Peach,” he soothed, his hand coming up to cup my face, his thumb brushing against my cheek in a gesture that calmed me somewhat.

“I know . . . but what if I want to?” I whispered.

“What do you mean, Peach?”

I groaned, resting my forehead on his chest, so I didn’t have to look at him. “You’re all stupidly hot, okay? Like, it's not fair how hot. Yet when Mav kisses me or I think about how hot Nils is, I feel like I’m cheating on you.
