Free Every Sunset Forever by R. E. Butler

guys, and why are you being hidden like you’re in danger?”
    She looked up at Azrael.  “Let me go.”
    “Never,” he said with a low voice, but he smiled and she returned it.
    “Okay, then let me see my brothers for a sec.”
    “Just a sec.”
    She crossed to her brothers and discovered that the three males claiming to be her biological brothers had taken Bliss with them and left a phone number so that Kross and Kayne could call them when Whisper was ready to see them.
    “Why did they take Bliss?”
    “They’re mates, apparently,” Kross said, looking over her head with concern.
    “Those are my mates,” she said, gesturing to the three males.
    “What?”  Kross’ head dropped to look at her in surprise.
    She looked over her shoulder and then held out her hand.  “Come meet my brothers.”
    They joined them quickly, the three males putting their hands on her as if they couldn’t stop from touching her in some way, and Nyte introduced himself and his brothers.  “Whisper is our mate.  Our beasts let us know that she was near, and we found her crying.”
    “I’m not too happy about that.  Why were you crying, anyway?” Fade asked.
    She opened her mouth, but Kayne spoke first.  “If you’re Whisper’s mates, then you have a ton of stuff to talk about, and out here in the woods with the temperature dropping isn’t the best place.  If you follow us back to our cabin, Whisper can grab her things and leave with you.”
    Her brothers turned and began walking away, and she looked at her mates.  “He’s right,” she said.  “If you want me to come with you, that is.”
    Fade made a snarling sound, and Nyte scoffed, “As if we’d let you go now that we found you.”
    A lump formed in her throat, and she swallowed hard.  She’d had acceptance from her father and brothers her whole life, but the males with her right now — their immediate acceptance of her meant more.  They didn’t know anything about her except that she was their mate, and they didn’t seem to care.
    Nyte and Azrael each took one of her hands, and Fade walked behind them.  He was built like a tank, and she had a feeling that he could and would fight anyone that threatened them.
    At the cabin, Azrael followed her into the bedroom and helped her pack while Nyte and Fade talked to her brothers.
    “Are you freaked out?” Azrael asked, tucking a pair of shoes into the corner of the suitcase.
    She folded a shirt and laid it inside.  “Not really.  It’s strange, but I just feel very good right now.  As if things are settled.”  Well, at least some things in her life.  Certainly, she needed to deal with this thing with her biological brothers.  And also to talk to Bliss about being mated.
    “I feel the same way.  I think we must have run into your friend earlier, because there was this girl walking with your wolf brothers and she smelled really good.”
    Whisper arched a brow.
    He chuckled.  “It’s your scent.  She carried some of your scent, and we couldn’t figure out what it was at first because we were certain that she wasn’t our mate but our beasts were going a little crazy.”
    Fade leaned in the door.  “Are you ready, Whisper?”
    In spite of how much crazy shit had just happened, she was.  Ready for whatever the night was going to bring.  Azrael zipped up her suitcase and carried it out of the room.  Fade waited for her to join him and slipped his hand in hers, escorting her into the main room of the cabin.
    “I guess we don’t have to flip a coin for the bed anymore,” Kayne said with a smile.
    “Are you going to go home?” she asked.
    “Really?  Dad would skin us alive if we left you here, mates or not…no offense.”  Kross said.
    Nyte said, “None taken.”
    Nyte and Kayne exchanged phone numbers, and Nyte said, “We can meet up at breakfast tomorrow and go together to meet her biological family when she’s ready.”
    “Sounds good,” Kross said.  She blew kisses to her
