Chapter 9

So emotionally drained when she finally made it to bed, Stephany was still surprised that she’d slept so soundly. Waking only when the morning light spilled in through the cream colored curtains.

It was a struggle to find something to wear. None of her business skirts or dresses fit anymore. Now that she knew about her condition, her symptoms felt like they had worsened overnight.

Finally, she chose a loose fitting summer dress and made for the northern tower. Already five minutes late, she slowly ascended the stairs not looking forward to this confrontation.

York smiled as she approached. “They are expecting you. I have been told to wait at the bottom of the stairs.” His brow was creased and he paused, clearly waiting for an explanation.

“Important royal business. I’m sure you understand.”

“Of course.” He nodded and moved to the stairs. Stephany waited until he was out of sight before knocking on the door.

“Enter,” Brant said.

The suite was large like a well-appointed, open plan apartment. Tanya immediately walked towards her and hugged her as soon as she entered. Zane moved towards them, folding his arms across his chest. “What is going on?” His dark eyes narrowed on her.

“Zane, behave. Stephany is our guest.” Tanya stepped towards the big male, threading her arm around his middle. He visibly relaxed.

“I don’t like that my female came home with red eyes last night. I could smell her sadness.”

“Come in, Stephany.” Brant strode towards them. “Let’s sit.” He gestured to the sitting area behind him. “Tanya mentioned that you have something important to tell us.”

“Our female is distraught. She is so upset that she won’t even let us rut her.” Zane almost looked like a small child that had been told that he couldn’t have any candy. If it weren’t for the situation she was in, she would’ve found it to be comical.

Tanya smacked Zane on the arm. “Stop it. You’re acting like a big baby.”

Zane looked sheepish. “I don’t like to see you like this,” he said, his eyes firmly on his mate. “Come and sit.” He wrapped his arm around Tanya and made for the sitting area.

Stephany took a deep breath and followed.

Brant nodded in greeting. Tanya sat between the males. Zane kept his arm loosely around her shoulders and Brant slid his hand onto the top of her thigh, squeezing lightly. Stephany sat opposite to them on a wing back chair.

“We are ready to hear what has upset Tanya. What is going on?” Brant lifted his eyebrows. Zane’s dark eyes focussed on Stephany as well, making her want to squirm in her seat.

It was important that she put this in a way that they would understand. “I spent almost a week with the wolves.”

Brant nodded, a frown creased his brow.

“Well…” She swallowed, choosing her words carefully. “The alpha was very attractive. We rutted a couple of times. It was completely consensual.” She added the last for the record.

Zane pulled a disgusted face. “After twenty years of celibacy, you rut a wolf? The same male that wanted to take Tanya and mate her against her will?” He grit his teeth.
