CHAPTER SEVEN

Tessa looked back and forth between the two men.

Two of them. Wow.

Leontis lounged in the armchair, looking every bit the lion she now knew he was as Sage brought over three hot chocolates. She shared a small smile with him, remembering the events last time they had shared the drink.

“You know Olivia is safe, right? When it comes to Dom,” Sage reassured her.

“I know. It’s just...he’s my brother. And I’m kind of in shock because I never knew he liked guys.” Tessa struggled to understand what she was feeling. She had no issue with men loving men. Hell, she was seriously considering a relationship with two men who clearly planned on being together as well. But there was something. Whatever it was ate away at her. An awkward, uncomfortable...doubtful, feeling. And then it hit her. “Shouldn’t I have known that? I mean, what kind of a sister am I if I don’t know something like my brother is attracted to men? A sister should know that right? A good sister would be aware of all these things. How he likes men, how-”

“How bad things were at home?” Sage offered knowingly.

And yeah, he was right. A part of her hated him a little for that.

“Sweetheart, you couldn’t have known.” Sage moved to position himself in between her legs where she sat. “It isn’t your fault.”

Leontis stood and moved to take the spot next to her, his large dark arm coming to wrap firmly around her. “Brothers...they are good at letting you see only what they want you to see. Whether it’s good or bad.”

“You sound like you know?” Sage tilted his head considerately. “Do you have brothers?”

Leontis let out a bitter laugh. “A few actually. I’m the baby of the family.”

Sage narrowed his gaze on him.

“They weren’t good to you.”

Tessa could tell it wasn’t a question.

“My brothers weren’t bad...most of them anyway. When they found out I was a Black Lion I garnered more respect from them at least. My father had been thrilled to have a Black Lion for a son. He just wasn’t so hung up on the bisexual part.” The way he attempted to shrug it away, as if it meant nothing, hurt to see. “When I said I was leaving, at least half of them were sad about it.”

Leontis’s joke fell flat.

Desperate to break the silence, she asked, “What’s so special about a black lion? You said your father had been thrilled when you shifted for the first time, but why?”

“A black lion is unique, rare.” Leontis cleared his throat awkwardly. “Black lions are very...dominate. Strong, fierce, Alpha like.”

“But you aren’t,” Sage added. Her other mate peered at Leontis for a moment. “That’s why, isn’t it? Your father had hoped you would take over the Pride. A black lion leading them, news would spread, your Pride would grow and so would his power. But you, your human side is passive.”

A self-deprecating laugh bubbled out of him. “Yup. When I’m human I don’t have an Alpha bone in my body.
