“No problem. Call me if something comes up tonight.”
“Will do,” Logan said, as he ushered his group into the hotel. Once they reached their floor, Logan looked at Colton. “See you tomorrow after breakfast and I’ll bring you up to speed.”
“Great. We’ll see you then,” Colton said. “Make it a late breakfast if you don’t mind. Ian and I are sleeping in.”
“I think that’s a good idea for all of us,” Logan said. “Fionn, do you want to stay with Theo and Norm or do you want to sleep in our suite?”
“I’ll stay with them,” Fionn said.
“Okay, then, see everyone in the morning,” he said, taking Kieran’s hand and leading him to their suite as the others headed to their rooms.

Slate stood looking at Dakota as he stripped for their run. Not sure what to expect after his mother’s cryptic comment about other abilities given to them, he wascurious to see if there were any changes in each of their wolves.
“I’m waiting,” Dakota said, now naked, standing in front of his mate. “Are you planning to undress anytime soon?”
“Sorry, babe, I was thinking about what my mother said about going for a run and was wondering what we’re going to see when we change.”
Smirking, Dakota said, “There’s only one way to find out. C’mon, I’m eager too.”
Quickly shedding his clothes, Slate glanced at Dakota, then called to his wolf and the sounds of shifting echoed through the trees, silencing the forest for a few seconds.
Gasping, Dakota exclaimed, “Holy fuck, babe, look at you!”
Slate looked down at his paws and saw what his mate was referring to. Holding up his paw, he was now staring at white fur. Startled, Slate’s wolf turned his head, trying to get a glimpse of the rest of him when he felt Dakota’s hand on his head, stroking his fur.
“Babe, you are totally white…white as snow…and absolutely beautiful,” Dakota said, in a quiet voice as he hugged his mate’s wolf. Laughing softly as he felt Slate’s wolf nudging him, demanding he shift, Dakota stood, called forth his wolf and when his shift was finished, his wolf proudly stood, gleaming in the sunshine.
Holy shit, babe! Your fur is pure black! How fucking wild is that? I have your color and you have mine!
This is freaking weird! Do you feel me inside you?
Yes. What about you? Am I inside you?
Yup. Do you feel something else?
Like our wolves are controlled by both of us?
Yes! So you feel it, too. This is so weird. I don’t think we can actually control them, but I’m aware of every decision your wolf makes…like right now!
Giving a toothy grin, Slate’s wolf bounded across the clearing and ran up the mountain path with Dakota’s close behind. Not familiar with the land, Slate picked paths at random, crisscrossing several mountains until he happened upon a clearing near a mountain stream that had clear, cold water tumbling over the half-buried rocks in it. Plopping down on the bank after lapping up some water, he watched as Dakota’s wolf drank from it before lying down next to him.
Slate gazed at his mate, relishing the closeness of Dakota’s wolf—then in a show of affection, his wolf nibbled the face of his mate’s wolf. When he heard his mate begin to whine with excitement, he began grooming Dakota’s wolf, licking and removing leaves, twigs and other debris with his teeth until his mate’s fur was glistening in the shafts of sunlight breaking through the overhead tree canopy.
Standing up, Slate’s wolf moved into position, eager to finally mate with his counterpart. Growling, Dakota’s wolf lifted his hindquarters in the air, curling his tail to the side, signaling he was ready to be fucked. Raising his head, Slate’s wolf howled—a howl of love and warning—telling one and all of his claim. Then, mounting his mate, Slate’s wolf cemented his bond; they were now connected—man and wolf—with one life force, always to be one forever and ever.
Dakota’s wolf felt his mate’s cock swell within him, causing his wolf to whimper as it anticipated Slate’s orgasm that would fill him up and ignite his own. Unable to suppress his excitement as Slate’s wolf possessed him,Dakota’s wolf lifted his head and issued a howl of joy and love for the mate he never wanted but now needed as much as he needed air to breathe.
Dakota’s wolf’s orgasm sparked Slate’s to respond in kind, shooting his seed deep into his mate’s wolf triggering body spasms that consumed them both. After they subsided, Slate’s wolf lowered his body, his cock slipping from Dakota’s as he twisted so he and his mate could rest together. Resting his head on Dakota’s neck, the two wolves fell asleep as their wolves’ spirits cavorted about in the air above them.

Fionn sat on his bed, worrying his lower lip, waiting for everyone to fall asleep. Luckily, Theo and Norm didn’t want to stay up tonight, chatting with him as they’d done the last few nights, and he had no objections to their heading to bed. Now, it was merely a matter of time until he could leave which would confuse the dragon he sensed when he was in the club.
He didn’t know what the men who’d been dancing with him had planned, but when he sensed the dragon, panic set in and he wanted to get away from them as fast as possible. Had it not been for the enforcers who rushed to his rescue, Fionn suspected the men intended to kidnap him and force him to reveal where his hoard was.
There was no doubt in his mind that his father was behind tonight’s attempt and that the dragon he sensed had been hired to move his hoard once the men had forced him to talk. The incident told Fionn his father had figured out his hoard had been moved. And if he wasn’t mistaken, that sonofabitch had somehow found the other places his mother had shown Fionn, but after finding nothing in any of them was now desperate.
