Chapter Fifteen

“I need to find this son of a bitch,” Winter growled under his breath as he stood in the corner next to Savage and Dane. The three of them were watching the pride finish their Thanksgiving meal. The females were clearing dishes and cleaning up the children’s messes in the room off the kitchen that was used for a daycare in the alpha’s home.

“He’s going to slip up soon,” Dane replied.

“When he does, he’s mine,” Winter informed them.

“There is no worry about that, my brother.” Savage smiled, his eyes flashing amber. “You can kill him…slowly, painfully. I’d make him watch as you spill his insides.”

“Jesus, you’re vicious,” Winter laughed, knowing that he would do the same thing.

“He deserves worse,” Dane added, nodding toward Nova. “She’s worth fighting for, and I’m glad you finally got off your ass and touched her.”

“I was once human, Dane,” Winter sighed heavily. “I wanted to fall in love with her and not have this animal instinct decide for me.”

“When are you going to learn that there is nothing human about you anymore?” Dane asked. “Once you were turned, you became the beast. The beast rules you, and you know this.”

“I know that now,” Winter replied, pushing off of the wall. “Excuse me, but I think I need to go see my mate.”

Dane didn’t say anything else, and Winter knew his friend was right. This beast inside was what ruled him now. No longer a human, he had to accept the wildness that coursed through his veins. Liberty often called it “magical mojo” and he would actually agree that she was right to use that term. What happened to them during a shift was actually magical. It was the only way to explain their existence.

“Hey,” Winter said, wrapping his arms around his mate. He inhaled and purred softly when his mating scent blended with the scent of the coconut shampoo she used. That scent alone would always trigger a response from him whenever she was near. He felt his cock stir behind his fly and he willed it to stop. They were in the alpha’s home surrounded by others and now just wasn’t the time.

“Hey yourself,” she smiled, turning in his arms.

“All of the pride is going to shift,” he announced. “I’m not going to leave you unprotected. So, I’m staying behind.”

“I don’t want you to miss out on that,” she said, frowning.

“It’s okay.” He smiled, leaning in to kiss her lips. “I’d rather stay here with you anyway.”

“Can I see you shift?” she asked, nibbling on her bottom lip. He reached up with his thumb and pulled it free from her teeth.

“You’ve never seen him, have you?” Winter asked. In all of the times that he’d been in charge of protecting her, he usually stayed in human form. Only late at night would he shift to check for scents on her land.

“No,” she answered. “But I would love to see him.”

“I’ll shift, but stay here with you,” Winter replied, pulling Nova to the side as a few of the teenagers in the pride filed out of the dining room.
