him.”
“You get kidnapped and beaten, but all you are talking about is us shifting?” Christian laughed until he realized it hurt to laugh. “Man, you really are one of a kind, Owen.”
“Thanks, I think.” Owen snickered as he opened the door and helped Christian into the passenger’s seat of the truck. “It was no big deal. All they did was punch me once in the nose, and I went down. I didn’t put up much of a fight. I knew you guys would come for me, I figured why add to my beating in the process?”
“Smart and hot, I’m a lucky guy,” Christian replied, smiling widely at his mate. “And to answer your earlier question, yes, Constantine was invisible. That’s part of being a Delta. They can shift into a wolf, or our third form that’s more wolfman. But he can also turn himself invisible in either form. That’s normally why they get sent to handle rogue wolves, because you can’t fight what you can’t see.”
“While I get it, and it’s cool he can do it,” Owen said after he went around the truck and hopped up in the driver’s seat. “That still sounds like a shit job for Deltas to get stuck with. I mean does his job have any perks?”
“Us,” Christian answered, smiling again. “They get two mates to love them and take care of them. With everything he goes through, it takes two of us to make him remember why he does the job he has to.”
“I hope he’s happy with his end of the bargain.” Owen snickered.
“I am very happy now that I have both of you,” Constantine said, suddenly standing in the driver’s side door. It still came out more of a growl because he was in his third form. But he was visible now. “Don’t be scared of me, Owen.”
“I’m not,” Owen whispered after turning to look at their mate.
Christian just sat there and watched Owen take in the way Constantine looked. Their big Delta mate was even larger than normal.
Constantine had to be at least seven-and-a-half-feet tall, with an elongated muzzle, which explained why everything he said was more of a growl then his normal voice. Pointed ears sprouted from the top of his head, and most of his body was covered in light tan hair. It was an impressive sight.
“Do you want to touch me?” Constantine asked gently as he leaned into the truck to be closer to Owen.
“Yes,” Owen answered quietly. He reached up and cupped the side of Constantine ’s face. “This is amazing. I mean I knew you guys could change like this, but to see it with my own eyes, to touch you. It’s almost more than my brain can process. But I swear, I’m not scared.”
“I know, I could smell your fear if you were afraid,” Constantine replied.
Christian watched Constantine rub his face against Owen’s hand. “So you’re okay with us turning furry?”
“Yeah, it’s actually turning me on.” Owen blushed. “My mates are totally badass and powerful. I find it incredibly sexy.”
“Really?” Christian was completely taken aback. Of all the responses he expected from Owen, sexy was not one of them.
“Yeah, is that bad?” Owen, a worried look on his flushed face, turned to look at Christian.
“No, not at all.” Christian chuckled. “I’m just really surprised. I don’t know too many humans who know about us or have seen us shift. I wasn’t ready for sexy to be your response.”
“I’m going to change back now.” Constantine took a step back. “We should get going.”
There was a shimmer around Constantine for a few moments, and then suddenly he was back to human form.
“Can you hand me my clothes, please, Christian?”
“Sure.” Christian tossed them over to Constantine . “Seems a shame to cover up your gorgeous body, but you’re right, we need to get out of here.”
“Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you,” Owen said, starting to blush again. “After they saw Constantine at the hotel, Jake made a phone call. When he was done, he told the other two guys that reinforcements were on the way.”
“Fuck, we
