CHAPTER NINETEEN

Ian

Gabriel wasn’t the only one who felt he kept failing his mates. Ian should have been able to withstand Gabriel’s allure when the omega had unexpectedly gone into heat during their outing. He had been doing fine until suddenly he’d felt as though if he didn’t sink his cock into the omega right that minute, he would die on the spot. He’d never lost control like that. With a sinking feeling, he realized the humans could have affected more than just the omegas and Christopher. Had Ian been poisoned? Was that why he couldn’t conceive or sire a child? Was he now losing his ability to control himself around omegas? The thought was terrifying. And what else could the nefarious substance from the darts be responsible for? A beta had recently miscarried, something so rare in werewolves, no one knew if he would be able to conceive again.

As Ian approached their house in the trees, his cock plumped as he remembered the sex with Gabriel in the woods. It had been primal, their hunger for one another voracious. But it might not even matter. If Ian couldn’t sire children, there’d been no harm done. Knowing how displeased Grey would be, it was tempting not to tell him.

But Ian knew he couldn’t lie to his mate again. He’d caused a big enough rift between them the last time, hurting Gabriel in the process, and was lucky that he and Grey had been able to put it behind them. Grey had seen Ian’s fears about the pack alpha’s fecundity as a betrayal, something which hadn’t even occurred to the beta. But it should have. Grey was a proud leader, and having his mate, someone he had trusted for a long time, doubt he could produce children had been a massive blow to the pack alpha’s ego.

“Grey!” Ian called when he entered their house, having left Gabriel warming by the fire in the omega den. There was no reason to cause the omega more stress by having him witness Grey’s reaction. Ian wasn’t sure how his alpha mate was going to take the news, but it could be explosive.

The pack alpha appeared from the hallway wearing blue jeans, a flannel shirt, and boots, his long, black hair tied back with a leather thong.

“There you are,” he said to Ian. “Where are Gabe and the pups?”

“The pups are still at the nursery, and Gabriel’s at the omega den.”

Grey frowned. “I thought we were going to have lunch together.”

“Something happened.”

Paling, Grey started toward him. “Gabriel?”

Ian held up a hand. He hadn’t meant to worry Grey. “He’s fine. Everyone’s fine. But I need to talk to you before we go see Gabe. Let’s sit down.” Ian led the way to the living room, and when he and Grey were both seated on the couch, he looked into Grey’s concerned blue eyes.

“Ian,” Grey prompted gruffly.

“Sorry.” Ian took a breath. “Gabriel and I were sitting by the creek in the sun, talking. We were about to get
