Chapter Thirty-Three

Kara’s jaw dropped and she took a step back in shock, nearly tripping. His voice had been preternaturally loud and feminine hands drifted to her ears to protect them from another outburst. In a daze she walked backwards to her vehicle, bumping into it where she froze.

Xavier extended a hand as though to stabilize her from afar and said, “The keys are inside. It’s unlocked.”

She nodded. The look on her face tore Curragh up. With a slightly more civil tone, he ordered, “Just get in there and stay put. We need some privacy.”

Kara stumbled over to the driver’s side and did as she was told. She jogged her eardrums with blunt fingertips, throwing him a look before she dipped inside the car. He waited until the door closed and she was staring numbly ahead before he strode to the back of the cavernous space. Xavier was by his side, deep in thought. He glanced over and said, under his breath, “I didn’t realize until just now.”

Curragh shot him an irritated look. “What?”

Xavier focused ahead as they neared their third packmate, and didn’t answer.

Draik sat cross-legged on his mattress, naked with a blanket haphazardly thrown over his waist. Gauze patchwork was on the wounds of his torso, wrists and arms. His head was carefully shaved with new bandages on the cuts. As they joined him, all kept their conversation so low only wolves would be able to hear. “Is that the cop?”

“She’s not a cop anymore,” Xavier reminded Draik as he and Curragh stood over their friend. Both crossed their arms with feet spread. “I didn’t expect this.” He seemed to be talking about more than her request to join them.

“Does she know what we are?”

Curragh scoffed, “Of course not.” His eyes landed on Xavier. He wanted to know what his friend was thinking. He was after all, the more levelheaded of the three, with his instincts usually on point. Curragh relied on Xavier ever since he’d returned to the fold, though his ego would never let him admit it aloud. With the confusion he felt now he needed objective guidance—his wolf was ready to tear this place apart if she left. And that made no fucking sense at all.

“Okay.” Draik glanced over to the car. “What are the odds she’ll leave quietly?”

The answer was unspoken but known.

Curragh’s skin was on fire, and he couldn’t calm down. “Fucking hell.”

“What?” Draik asked with narrowing eyes. “You okay?”

Xavier was watching him keenly, too.

Confession was the only option. Curragh’s chest heaved on a grumbled, “Something’s happening to me.”

“I thought you must have known.” Xavier cocked a black eyebrow at him. “You’re just now realizing?”

“Realizing what?”

Xavier huffed and shook his head on a knowing smirk. “Your wolf, Cur. He’s found her.”

His blood tingled oddly as goosebumps trickled down Curragh’s arms. He fucking never got goosebumps. “No.”

Draik’s eyes widened and his pale eyebrows knit together in amusement. “You’re kidding me. All this happened while I was sleeping?”

“Nothing’s happened. She’s not my forever mate.” Curragh muttered a little more loudly than everything else they’d said, “He’s wrong.
