CHAPTER 12

Tug stepped into Dell’s office when the alpha called for him to enter. Closing the door behind him, he walked to the desk and took a seat when Dell motioned for him to sit.

“So, tell me what’s going on with you and your mates,” Dell said. “It’s been a week since our meeting here and I thought you three would have claimed each other by now.”

Tug smirked. “How do you know we haven’t?”

Dell gave him a smirk of his own. “Because then I would be able to smell your mates on you and vice versa. You also don’t have your mating mark yet. Sure, I can see that faded one from Raiden, but you don’t have your permanent one yet.”

Now Tug’s brows dropped in confusion. “I have a small mating mark? Where? I’ve never noticed it.”

“For those of you who are mates and already in a relationship awaiting your linchpin, but don’t know you’re mates, well, those of you who have bitten one another, the mating mark isn’t as prominent as the real one. It’s faded, but it is there. It’s on your right shoulder. Two very faint crescent shaped white scars. Once you claim your mates officially and they claim you, that mark will be able to be seen by all. So, what’s going on with you three? Weren’t you able to find Alex that night?”

Tug sighed, then smiled as he remembered their times together. He went on to tell Dell everything from that night, and why Alex was so apprehensive and hadn’t shown up for dinner.

Dell sat forward, his eyes blazing with anger. “So, someone in my pack approached Alex and filled his head with a load of crap which had him afraid to claim his mates? Who? You said Cilly, but there is no one in our pack with that name, so who was it?” Dell demanded.

Tug shrugged. “We have no idea. Neither Raiden nor I know anyone by that name, and when we asked Alex what he looked like, honestly, it could be any twink we have in the pack. My mates and I have spent every night this week meeting at the bar for dinner and getting to know one another. We have all agreed to give this relationship a real shot, but to start it off right, like dating a bit. Raid and I have been together a long time, and we need Alex to know that he won’t be an afterthought to our mating, but an equal, so we have decided to prove it to him with actions, so that he’ll know we’re serious and are telling him the truth. We have no idea who this person is, this Cilly, but Raid and I agree that we don’t think we’ve heard the last of him. Why would he just approach Alex like that out of the blue and try to stir up shit? So we’re keeping a lookout for him.”

“When you find him, I want to know. I need to have a little chat with him.
