The pride in Isam’s voice made Servas all weak and warm inside. “Thank you. I love my job.”
“I think it’s amazing you’re all so accepting of non-alphas in jobs and positions that are traditionally alpha territory,” Mostyn said. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before.”
“None of us has. We’re building the world as it should be, and Palani is a huge driving factor in that,” Servas said. “And we’re far from perfect. We all mess up from time to time, but there’s a willingness to learn and grow, which makes a difference.”
“But despite all that and you being so busy, you’re offering to bring me breakfast?” Mostyn asked.
Servas’s cheeks heated. “I’m still an omega. I can’t deny the urge to take care of my mates.”
Mostyn leaned in and pressed a soft kiss on Servas’s cheek. “That’s really sweet of you. I’d love to have breakfast with you tomorrow morning.” He turned to Isam. “Will you be able to come too?”
Isam seemed taken aback for a moment, but then he smiled. “I’m sure Bray would understand me taking some personal time under the circumstances.”
Servas beamed at his mates. “It’s a date.”

He had mates.
Even after a good night’s sleep, Mostyn still couldn’t wrap his head around it. A few days ago, he’d been all but convinced he was going to die, and now he was part of a pack, he had two mates, and he could fucking shift into a wolf. A wolf! It was the stuff of legends and fairytales, not real life. How had he gone from despair to this in mere days?
He was munching on some fresh strawberries—he didn’t want to eat too much before having breakfast with his mates—when Lucan’s bedroom door opened. Mostyn opened his mouth to greet his housemate, except it wasn’t Lucan who walked out, but the other doctor from the clinic. He seemed as shocked to see Mostyn as the other way around.
“Right,” he said, clearing his throat. “I forgot you live here now too.”
Mostyn waved awkwardly. “I do. I’m Mostyn…but you probably already know that after the pack meetings.”
“Yeah. Nothing stays secret here for long, but…” He looked over his shoulder at Lucan’s room. “I would appreciate it if you didn’t mention this to anyone else. We’re in a complicated situation.”
Mostyn made the zipper gesture across his lips. “Not a word.”
“Thank you.” He walked toward the front door, then turned around. “And thank you for what you’re doing for Palani. It’s a brave, selfless thing.”
Before Mostyn could even tell him he was welcome, he’d left. Okay then.
Lucan came out of his room fifteen minutes later, his hair wet from the shower he’d taken.
“Good morning,” Mostyn said.
“Hey.” Lucan came to a stop. “Oh. You must’ve seen…”
“Your boyfriend? Yes.”
“It’s more complicated than that.”
“He’s hot.”
Lucan sighed. “That he is.”
“What’s his name? I never caught it.”
“Maz. He’s an OB-GYN like Enar.”
“Cool. No worries. I already promised Maz I wouldn’t tell anyone about seeing him come out of your room.”
Lucan’s eyes widened. “He asked you that?”
“He did.”
