Chapter Twenty-Eight

If Adam hadn’t passed out, Todd thought he might have. As it was, one of them needed to stay conscious to figure out what the hell was going on. Todd wasn’t having any luck doing so. He’d dived after Adam and, yeah… Adam hadn’t hit the floor but it had been a near thing and…

“What the fuck?” exploded out of his mouth before Todd could think to keep it in. His heart was pounding so hard he fully expected to die any second from it. He held Adam tighter and the damned wolf— Gabe, oh hell, how? —“Stop licking him!” Todd smacked the wolf smartly on the nose.

The thing yelped and looked at him with wounded eyes. “Well, screw that,” Todd

snapped, knowing he wasn’t making any sense. “You have no fucking right to look at me like your feelings are hurt!”

And there it was, along with the shock, a crushing wave of pain because his friend was something other and Todd hadn’t known. Whether or not he could have handled knowing

didn’t matter, did it? Because he damn well knew now!

Todd jerked back when Gabe-wolf nosed at him. He looked around at Mika, and Aidan

and Zane, and it clicked then. This was the secret, what they’d been hiding. It was the reason for the weird feeling he got around Gabe and Mika sometimes.

“When?” he asked, zeroing in on Mika. It had to be since Mika had come along. Now that Todd knew to look for it, he could feel the power of the supernatural coming from Mika…and everyone else in the room except for him and Adam.

Mika sighed, of all things, and looked regretful. “Almost a year ago. He’s my mate, Todd. I don’t know how to explain it to you—”

“I’ve read books,” Todd muttered, cheeks burning with the admission. He refused to be embarrassed over it, much. Not when all this weird stuff was happening.

Mika blinked and seemed at a loss for words. Adam coughed and groaned and opened his eyes a little bit. “Todd? I thought—oh fuck!”

Adam sat up so fast his head smacked Todd’s chin. Todd rocked back and landed on

his ass. Since he hadn’t let go of Adam, he brought Adam with him, and in seconds Todd was on the floor with his lover sprawled on top of him. Between Adam’s elbows and hands, Todd thought he might end up with some fractured ribs, but Adam wasn’t about to let

anyone else help him up.

“Get back,” he snapped, and Todd saw a very naked Gabe shrink back. Todd felt bad

and started to speak but Adam cut him off. “Oh, get that look off your face. You’re naked and your junk is flopping, and I don’t want my eye put out with that…fucking baseball bat.”

Todd had to admit Gabe was rather…large. He helped Adam up while Gabe darted off,

one hand kind of cupping his cock and the other splayed over his ass.

“He really needs both hands for his dick,” Aidan said.

“Mika is big—er,” Zane blushed furiously and started shaking his head.
