“Sorry, alpha,” Revea whispers.
She’s looking up at Kaiden, but weallfeel that alpha.
And she doesn’t sound sorry, not at all.
Doesn’t look it either with that sly little smirk.
“I forgot to say thank you.” With me holding her up, her hand is able to cup his jaw. “Thank you for finding me, alpha.” We all watch as her thumb brushes over his parted mouth. “I missed you.”
Pretty sure we’re all hard now.
Thankfully, Revea’s distraction means Kaiden’s bark breaks, and I’m able to separate her from Syl.
I head straight to the bed while the others try to recover from Revea’s presence.
“She didn’t even need to bark,”I joke with Val, who’s followed me to the bed, already pulling covers back.
He smirks. Good to know our fighting is over.
I place her down, then immediately slide in after, pulling her into my lap and propping her against my chest without pause.
Seems everyone has recovered, because each of my packmates is staring at me with dark expressions, like they’re ready to rip off my head just to steal my place.
“You smellsogood.” She sighs, leaning back into me.
I grin so wide my jaw aches. “So do you, baby,” I murmur, nudging her throat with my nose. “How’re you feeling? Need a new guard? I’m more than happy to replace Val…”
He mouthsfuck off,but Revea laughs.
She tilts her head back, smiling up at me. “I feel much better, thanks. Especially since Val told me…” Her eyes dart over to my brother, who’s perched on the edge of the bed.
But then her head drops, fingers toying with the bed cover. “He said you’ve…dealtwith… everything.”
“We did.” Sylvan appears to her left, tablet in hand. “I’ll show you.”
“If you’re up to it,” Kaiden says, sitting on the bed a little lower down by her legs. “We don’t have to talk about it now. It can wait.”
She shifts, sitting higher in my lap. “It’s okay. I want to know.”
A soft hum fills the room as a projector screen descends from the ceiling.
“What else does this house have?” Revea murmurs.
I place my lips to her ear. “I’ll give you the grand tour when you’re better.”
But our private moment is interrupted as the large screen flickers to life.
Revea blinks at it. Then Sylvan. Then back to the screen. “Is this... a presentation?”
“Yes. It’s the most effective way to share information,” he says, unfortunately not catching her confused tone or noticing her fond smile, already clicking to the next slide.
Then a mugshot of a man appears.
“I knew it,” she says sourly. “That’s the alpha who attacked Serena, right?”
“Yes. I started by tracking the footage by going back to your servers. There’d been a few successful hacks. I found them all, then narrowed them down with background checks. Wasn’t difficult.”
More mugshots appear. Four men.
