CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Priya

THE CLANK AND rattle of the anchor rising startles me from sleep. I’m still on Raglan’s lap, his chained wrists are looped over me so his hands rest against my belly as I make a pillow from his chest.

I tense as I take this in, assaulted by grief for the absence of my first Alpha, Hawthorn, and guilt that I’m enjoying the comfort of another male.

Raglan purrs, and it calms me. It is a different purr to that of my other Alphas. I wonder if it’s part of him being a shifter or simply that he is unique.

“What color is your wolf?” I ask, twisting my head so I can see him. My eyes dip to his lips. We are close enough that I could kiss him if I lean a tiny bit upward.

“Snow white,” he says, hooded eyes inspecting me, face serious.

I frown. “White? I thought it would be brown.” Although why I should presume so, I cannot say. Nate’s fur color is not dissimilar to his hair, but that might be a coincidence now that I think about it. “Does your wolf not look like you?”

“No,” he says, lips twitching. “I am in human form presently, lass. My wolf looks remarkably like . . . a wolf.”

I hear Brook chuckle. A meaty thud is followed by a grunt indicating that Caden has just thumped him.

I huff out a breath, eyes narrowing on Raglan. “It is not white.”

His wolf-blue eyes crinkle at the corners in mirth. “You’ve got me, lass. My wolf is not white. It is black.”

I’m about to dispute this claim also when the door creaks ominously before it is thrust open.

Derick stands in the doorway, the loaded crossbow trained upon the room. A cruel smirk lights his lips as he sees where I am. “Knew Omegas needed a lot of rutting but I didn’t think you’d be whoring her out to the shifter scum.”

Tension ripples through Raglan’s body. “Don’t,” I whisper, and it feels right when I press a kiss to his chest. There is rough cloth between my lips and his skin, but underneath, I can feel the heavy thud of his beating heart.

Derick surveys the scene, eyes apathetic. “We have guests who want to see you. Don’t give me a reason to shoot you.”
