this,” he commanded.
    The room became silent, and Zeus continued. “Chey is Torem’s real brother. He has a gift of healing. Chey can heal superficial wounds and wounds that go much deeper, the kind that eat away at your soul.”
    Gasps sounded through the room, but Zeus pressed on. “I am only telling you this because if Chey comes in contact with you physically, the healing begins. You start to relive your past in order to mend.”
    “That’s what’s wrong with Torem right now,” Chey added. “He hugged me when he came to rescue me, and now he’s reliving his past. I’m sorry, I had no idea how painful it would be, although I don’t have a clue what took place here. I just wanted to make everyone aware.”
    Zeus felt for the wolf. It must be a lonely existence to have people fear your touch. “Wait, why didn’t the Beta from the other pack go through this? You said that you and him…you know.”
    “You have to want to heal in order for it to happen. Remus is pure hatred, so that’s how he was able to touch me and remain unaffected.” Chey blushed, and Zeus was sure it was from having fucked the guy in the first place. Everyone used bad judgment once in awhile. Chey was no different.
    “May I ask a question?” Caymen raised his hand, and Zeus nodded. “Are you an Omega?” the shifter asked Chey.
    The Alpha left that up to Chey to answer. If he didn’t want them to know, Zeus would back him on it.
    “Yes.”
    “Shit,” a few wolves cursed.
    “Do you know the trouble that will be at our door if any other pack finds out he’s here? They’re rare and valuable. Any pack would kill to have one.” Ian voiced his fear.
    “That’s why this knowledge doesn’t leave this room,” Zeus commanded. “I have given him a safe haven here, and he will be treated normally. Do I make myself clear?”
    “Yes, Alpha,” the wolves said, but Zeus could see the fear in their eyes. They feared Chey and what the wolf could do to them with one touch.
    “Thank you. Now we need to find Torem. I’ll let Taz, Eagle, and Sully know about Chey when they return.”
    Memphis got to his feet, rage and panic pulling his face tight. “Stay away from Eagle. He doesn’t need to relive a fucking thing. He’s been through enough.”
    Chey stepped back toward Zeus, and the Alpha bared his fangs at the soldier. “I said I would tell them. Take a threatening step toward Chey again and it’ll be you and me, are we clear?”
    Memphis nodded and swung the door open, making it crash into the wall as he stormed from the office.
    “Not exactly how you planned this, is it?” Chey looked up at Zeus with sorrow in his eyes.
    “They’ll be all right. Just let them absorb what we talked about.” Zeus prayed his house wasn’t about to draw a line down the center and choose sides. There was no need for that, and he wouldn’t stand for it.

    Sidney walked around Dino’s kitchen, opening drawers and cabinets, taking a peek in the fridge. There had to be a Red Bull around here somewhere. He’d settle for an energy bar right now.
    “What are you looking for?” Dino asked as he hefted himself up onto the counter.
    “Milk Duds.” Sidney knew if he told Dino what he really wanted, the guy wouldn’t allow him to leave the house to go get it. Why did Torem have to tell him? It’s not like it was a drug. It was an energy drink for fuck’s sake.
    “Sorry, I don’t have any candy here.”
    Sidney tried his best to ignore that deep and alluring voice. He was on a mission, and he would find something to get his focus back.
    “Come here, Sidney.” Dino crooked a finger at him.
    “Uh-uh, you want to tempt me with your candy. Not going to happen.” He wasn’t stupid enough to be rejected twice. Sidney grabbed a fruit drink out of the fridge and ran his finger down the nutritional chart on the back. It had high contents of sugar, but not enough for him. He set it back on the shelf and continued to move things aside.
    “ Ow
