Chapter Ten

A hush fell over the crowd as Tala and Marrok appeared. Then, as if an unseen signal had been given, all the wolves bowed to the alpha pair. After a pause, they both lowered their heads in return to the assemblage, then walked through the group to lead them all back to their cars. The celebration was set to be held back at the hotel.

Tension coiled in Castor’s shoulders, tightening the muscles until they strained against his bones. Leia still hadn’t shown up, but he had to act as though nothing were wrong or all her efforts would be for nothing. He followed the bride and groom and got into the limo with them along with Tala’s maid of honor, her sister Astra.

Other than flushed faces, Tala and Marrok appeared well put together given what they’d just been up to. The couple sat close together on the back bench seat, with Castor and Astra taking opposite side seats.

“Was that Leia?” Tala asked as they pulled away from the parking lot, breaking the awkward silence which had descended.

“Yes.” Worry had the one word grinding from him.

“Where is she?” Marrok asked.

“I don’t know. She disappeared under a wall of water.” And he couldn’t do a fucking thing about it.

“We should go back.” Marrok reached for the button to lower the window between them and the driver, but Castor shook his head.

“She’s a water nymph,” he said. “She can handle it. Besides, she’d be upset if we ruined her work by giving away the secret to everyone. She’ll be fine.” She’d promised him she would, and he’d made sure Kaios had left with the crowds.

You’d better be fine, he thought. If she wasn’t, he’d wring her neck for taking that kind of risk.

The rest of the interminable ride was completed in silence. Castor shifted his position a few times. While the worst of the pheromones were released with the mating, being near the couple was still like a constant bombardment of lust, like standing chest deep in ocean waves. Marrok couldn’t stop touching Tala—not overtly, just constant contact. All Castor could picture was Leia’s big blue eyes, her hair fanned out on a pillow like a golden halo as he moved above her, the sound of her husky voice groaning her pleasure.

Where was she?

The valet handed them out onto a red velvet carpet. A woman with deep red hair approached with a come-hither light in her eyes. “Congratulations, Alpha. You as well, Alpha.” She nodded to Tala and Marrok in turn. Then she hooked her arm through his. “And who might you be, handsome?”

“Mine.”

Relief and lust warred for dominance at the sound of Leia’s warm voice behind him. He shrugged off the redhead and turned, the impact of just seeing her like running chest first into a gorgon’s fist. He pulled his nymph in close where he could wrap his arms around her and feel for himself that she was unharmed and inhaled her rainy-day scent.

“I can take a hint.” The other woman’s parting comment hardly penetrated.
