    Chapter Fifty-Seven: Friend or foe. Or family?


    I let out a snarl and the wolf lowered itself to the ground, his big head dipping down. He wasn’t as big


    as Jason and I, but he was bigger than Aaron’s slim form.


    The sunlight brought out the shades of red and brown in his long fur. He wasn’t sleek like a lot of us


    were but instead his coat looked better suited to an area with snow and harsh winters. His honey-


    colored eyes flicked back up to us and I let out a low growl, pushing Tillie back several steps in case I


    needed to fight. I didn’t want her to get hurt.


    If something happened to her, I doubted the others would be able to forgive me. I knew I wouldn’t be


    able to forgive myself.


    “You gonna shift, or am I?” I growled, cracking my neck to try to loosen my muscles. I wanted to be


    ready to shift quick and strike fast. The wolf shook its head.


    The popping sound of bones and muscles shifting into ce sounded out and Tillie moved closer to


    me. Her hand resting on my arm as his fur drew back up into his skin. When his shift was over, a man


    with short, cropped copper colored hair crouched before us. His head was still down and his lean body


    was folded in on itself.


    “Oh my god, he’s naked.” Tillie gasped before pping her hand over her eyes.


    “Happens with a shift, sweets. Clothes usually don’t make it.” I said, eyeing the man. He hadn’t moved,


    but he had raised his head slightly to look at me. “Turn around and fuck right on off back to your pack.


    This is a fight you won’t win.”


    “I’m not here to fight. I’m here for my brother.” He said, standing to his full height.


    “Well, as you can see, he isn’t here.”


    “No, I’m here on behalf of Gideon.” He said, taking a step closer and I shook my head.


    “I don’t care if you are here on behalf of the queen of fucking Ennd. You’re noting near my


    mate.” I growled, Tillie started to move closer, but I let out another low growl.


    “I wouldn’t hurt my brother and if I hurt her or touched her, that would hurt him. Besides, she’s hot, but


    you’re more my type.” He said, his eyes raking over my body. Pausing at the thin rings that went


    through my nipples, his tongue swiped over his lower lip, and I saw his pupils dte with hints of a dark


    hunger that I more than understood.


    I lifted an eyebrow. He wasn’t bad looking; his body was toned in all of the right ces. His cock, while


    soft, was long and thick. I bet his ass was just as fuckable as the rest of them. He smelled fucking


    good, too.


    Not as good as Tillie and Ryan, but there were hints of vani in his scent that teased me. Making me


    wonder what his skin would taste like, how he would feel writhing beneath me with my cock buried balls


    deep in his ass.


    Fuck, what was wrong with me? I shouldn’t be thinking like this. It wasn’t the time or ce, but my body


    didn’t seem to care. It was like! had been drugged.

    if I weren’t with Tillie and Ryan, I would have taken him up on his offer. But I didn’t want to piss Tillie off.


    I had already seen what she was like and this wasn’t the time or the ce for that. I doubted that my


    mates would be cool with that now and I was more than happy with thern. If Jason wanted to join in on


    the fun, I was cool with that, and given by how turned on Tillie had been the night of her iming. I


    doubted that it would be a problem.


    “What are you?”


    “Me, I’m nothing special.” He said. I eyed him, pressing my lips together and pulling in another lung full


    of that sweet scent. His eyes widened and he shook his head as a light seemed to fill his eyes.


    “You smell my brother. It’s not me, I promise.”


    Damn, I shouldn’t be feeling like that just from the slightest scent of his brother. I still didn’t trust him


    even if he said he was Gideon’s brother. For all I knew, he could have ns to try to steal Tillie away.


    “You’re his brother?” Tillie asked and I looked back at her. She still had her hand mped over her


    eyes and I couldn’t help but smile at how innocent she was. I liked that, that she wasn’t shy with us but


    didn’t want to see another man naked.


    “Yeah, Gideon told me about you.” He said and I looked away from Tillie and back towards the wolf


    shifter in front of me. “You guys were going to meet by theke near the bear’s ce.”


    “We were. The bear is my dad.” Tillie said and I watched his already pale skin grow whiter.

    “Leave it to Gideon to want to mate with a bear cub.” He breathed in deep, tilting his head to the side.


    “You don’t smell like a shifter, though,”


    “She’s not, she-* I started to say but a howl sounded out that was far too close for myfort.


    “We need to go. That’s Jamison and he’s out for blood.” His eyes grew wide as he stepped back


    towards the trees. “He’s still pissed that the omega has found his mate.”


    “Your brother is an omega?” I asked, swallowing hard. No wonder Tillie felt so drawn to him and he


    smelled so damn good. How had she resisted him? If I were in her ce, would I have been able to


    resist the allure of an omega?


    “Yeah, and Jamison isn’t happy about losing his fuck buddy.” His honey-colored gaze flicked to Tillie


    and I nodded. Well shit, I wouldn’t be either if I had an omega. The stories that I’d heard about them


    were the stuff of legends.


    “I’m going to trust you. But if you fuck us over, I’ll rip your throat out.” | growled before grabbing Tillie’s


    hand and pulling her with me to follow Gideon’s brother.
