“Oh, for Luna’s sake.” I was already on my feet. “Donoteat those peas.”
His laughter was loud as I hurried toward the main entrance. I didn’t need to ask where Wolfe was; the bond pulled me toward him.
Thankfully, they were both in the house, where the soundproof spell Diesel knew had ensured no voices escaped outside to be heard by others. Killian sat on the couch with his legs crossed and a relaxed posture. Diesel stood at one end of the room, leaning against a wall, while my husband stood near the door, arms crossed and face like thunder.
“What’s going on?” I asked Wolfe as I closed the door behind me.
“He wants the Goddess to kill him.”
I gaped at Diesel. He rolled his eyes. “Not literally,” he said in exasperation.
“Literally,” Wolfe and Killian corrected together.
“I think we need to give me more of the conversation first.” I took a seat beside Killian. “You good?” I asked quietly.
“Waiting to split them up,” he said, not lowering his voice at all.
“Wolfe?” I turned my attention to my mate. “Background?”
Wolfe glared at his beta. “This idiot?—”
“Harsh,” Diesel interrupted.
“Idiotwants to go back up to the ridge and ask the Goddess for a sign.”
I frowned. Why did that make him an idiot? Weren’t some, if not all, of the pack doing the same? “Um…okay?”
Wolfe switched his focus to me. “Last time we were up there, she sent a landslide after us.” His gaze switched back to Diesel. “Alandslide.”
Diesel huffed. “Us. Not me. Us.”
“She sent alandslide,” Wolfe growled.
“It’s been pretty much this for the last fifteen minutes,” Killian told me conversationally. “At this point, I’m ready to let them both just punch it out.”
Diesel crowed with triumph. I jumped to my feet when Wolfe took a step forward. “Hey.” I leaned up and kissed him briefly. “Hey, hi.”
My husband looked down at me, a small smile on his face, and his lips brushed mine with far more purpose than I had. His kiss turned hot and heavy, and I forgot the others were in the room for a moment.
“Why can’t she distract me like that?” Diesel muttered. Wolfe’s low growl made the other male laugh, and I jumped in surprise when Wolfe grabbed my ass.
“Mine.” He pulled back and looked at his two betas. “No one goes up to the ridge.” His eyes landed hard on Diesel. “Am I clear?”
His beta said nothing, and Killian sat with his face blank. This seemed to be blown out of proportion, and Iwas beginning to think Cody had tricked me for fresh peas, when Wolfe’s and Diesel’s heads both snapped to the far wall, to the window that looked out over the yard.
“What is it?” I asked them, seeing Killian rise to his feet too, his stare following theirs.
“They’re calling,” Wolfe said, concern in his voice.
“Who?”
“The Grumps.”

Wolfe
The three ofus stared at the wall for a moment longer before I heard Rowen’s voice.
