ever.
Remi entwined his fingers with Drew’s and led him upstairs.

Oliver was leaning against the wall outside of the Alpha’s office. He was shaking badly.
“It’s okay, you’re safe.” Micah ran his hands over Oliver's hair. “I’m proud of you for defending them.”
“But I killed him.” Oliver whimpered.
Micah pulled his mate into his arms, giving him the comfort he knew Oliver needed right now. His mate may have everyone else fooled into thinking he was an uncaring prick, but Micah knew better. It was a defense mechanism that Micah was slowly stripping away from him. He was safe here, Oliver needed to realize that.
“He’s not dead, mate. He’s a shifter. He’s healing at this very moment.
Oliver stared up at him in shock. “I didn’t kill him?”
“No, Oliver, you didn’t. Come on, let’s get you upstairs. Enough drama for one night.”

Jasper stood at his bedroom window, looking out into the night, his heart heavy with the decisions ahead of him. He knew that a shifter was granted only one mate per lifetime, and that Zeus was chosen by fate to be his.
He had no clue about how to handle this. Someone was going to get hurt. It was inevitable. The one thing he wished was that Cody found his mate soon. His Code-man hurting was unacceptable.
Oh, what a tangled web they weaved when they decided to take their friendship one step further. The price would be paid for it.
Jasper just prayed it wasn’t too high.
He turned away from the darkness, knowing that he and Cody would never be intimate again, not with Zeus waiting for him.
Jasper sat on the edge of his bed, the palm of his hands pressing into his forehead. This was one fucked-up situation.

“Poor Oliver. I think he’s messed up even more in the head now. He’s the one who killed Jackson.”
“Jackson isn’t dead. He’s a wolf. He’s healing even as we speak. The Sentries pulled him out of the tunnel and have him on lockdown until Zeus comes to get him.” Remi closed the bedroom door, guiding Drew over to the bed.
Drew was stunned to hear the wolf was still alive. The event in the tunnel had shaken him. He thought for sure they were all going to die. He may have acted brave but inside, he was terrified. Thank goodness Jackson’s plans fell through. He shuddered to think of Johnny and Cecil out in the cold night living a dead life of prostitution.
Remi cupped Drew’s face, kissing him repeatedly while trying to get his shirt off at the same time.
“If you want me naked, you have to stop kissing me.” Drew laughed as he was brought out of his somber thoughts.
“Hard choice.” Remi said against his lips as he kissed him again. Drew’s shoulder was revealed as Remi pushed the fabric back and kissed the exposed skin. Remi’s tongue trailed down his mate’s arm, licking the creamy flesh.
Drew’s head fell back. His mouth gaped open as his breath started to pant. Remi was amazed by him. Drew was the man he had only dared to dream of having.
Remi slowly kissed down Drew’s skin, licking his tongue across Drew’s back, his buttocks, and then his hip as he slowly undressed him. Remi made his way around to Drew’s groin, kissing his prick as he dropped to his knees. He licked and nuzzled Drew, pushing his thighs further apart. Remi’s finger teased Drew’s starburst as he paid homage to Drew’s wrinkled sac. He sucked one side in, swirling his tongue around then releasing it to do the same to the other.
“Remi, please,” Drew breathlessly begged. “My legs are turning boneless. My knees are threatening to give out.”
Remi walked on his knees as Drew stepped backwards until he reached the bed, Remi never giving up his attention to Drew’s body. Remi’s hands snaked up, splaying across Drew’s abdomen as he pushed him back, Drew landing on his back as Remi licked his way up Drew’s shaft.
“You taste so damn good, pup,” Remi praised while sucking the length vertically. Remi
