Alice was staring at us like we both had two heads.
Tmn
not gonna sit here while you guys act like weirdos. If we’re not going out, then I’m going to bed.” She

“F uck,” Zander growled. “What the f uck happened?!”
“I don’t know,” I breathed out slowly. “We must’ve made a mistake during the mating.”
Zander paced back and forth, his eyes flashing as his wolf pushed to the surface, “What’s the mistake?
We bit her, she bit us. It’s not f u cking rocket science!”
I ran my fingers through my hair, clenching fistfuls in my hands.
“I’ve never heard of this happening before,” I admitted. “When you complete the mate bond, you have
the mind link. That’s it, end of story?
Except not for us.
“So we redo it tonight, Xander said simply.

bond didn’t work, she’s gonna lose her da mn mind.”
Xander narrowed his eyes at me.
“Then what do you suggest we do?”
My mind wandered to Lanie. Just like it had when we’d taken Alice to bed. I thought it was because she
was in heat but
was there more to it?
“You don’t think it’s because of her?” I asked Xander.
He didn’t need to read my mind to know exactly who I was talking about.
“We had mindblowing sex with Lanie, and maybe I was thinking about it with Alice, but we didn’t claim
her. It doesn’t make
sense.
“No, it doesn’t,” I agreed. “Is it because we took Alice as a second mate?”
Xander shrugged. “F uck if I know. This is all new to me.”
“It’s new to everyone.” I sighed and threw myself onto the bed rubbing my temples hard. “The High
Council are probably the
only ones with answers, but it’s not like we can ask Elder Aldon right now.”
“Yeah, considering you threatened him and basically called him a se nile old man.” Xander smirked.
“F uck,” I mumbled under my breath.
It was true, we’d pis sed him off royally using that loophole. No way was he gonna help us out now.
A hard knock at the door pulled us both out of our thoughts.

A High Guard stepped into the office.

It’s a very ugly story.
His words rang in my head, and I wasn’t sure how long I could wait for answers
But I had to get back to Xander and Zane even if I was nothing more than their castoff mate. A means
to an end with Alice.
I walked to a stream where I’d stashed another set of clothes and jumped in, reluctantly letting the

trace of Braden’s intoxicating scent,
The last thing I needed was someone smelling anything funny and asking questions. If the High
Council had kept vampires from us, then there must have been a good reason.
And if they found out I knew, something told me I’d be in more trouble than my “mates” were willing to
pull me out of.
I took a deep breath, steeling myself before I entered the house, and my heart caught in my throat
when I saw who was waiting for me on the other side of the door.
Elder Aldon was standing next to a tall man in a pure white robe.
A High Elder.

I’d never seen one in person before, but I knew they wore white instead of the High Council’s traditional
black.
They both whipped around to look at me.

“So you’re the one who is causing all this trouble…” the High Elder said.
Double s hit.
“You’re the one I’m here to take care of.”
