saying if we…had sex, he could feel it?”
    Trevor’s face transformed into a smile so wicked she could almost see Ayden looking back at her.
    “That’s exactly what I’m saying.”
    A million thoughts rushed into her head. But most of all the anger overshadowed everything. Just from his smile she knew one thing.
    Ayden and Trevor were more alike than she first thought. She closed her eyes and prayed. She was going to need all the help she could get.

    Trevor placed both of his hands back around Nicole’s face.
    “I think Ayden would enjoy feeling you once again. But more importantly, I want to experience what it feels for true mates to touch each other. You may be linked with Ayden, but now you’re link to me. Let me taste you.”
    The words sunk in Nicole’s mind, but with everything else already there, she still pulled back. As much as she wanted to pleasure not only herself, but Ayden and Trevor as well, the thought suddenly wasn’t as appealing as before.
    She stepped completely away and looked into his eyes.
    “I’m sorry, but Ayden leaving me doesn’t gain him a reward and, sadly, makes you unfuckable. It’s a pity, too. I’m sure we would have had a great time. Link, pull, mated or not, the three of us are now in a messy predicament. Until I can get things straightened out with him, he’s sure as hell not going to have the pleasure of feeling what he could so easily leave.
    “Now if you would still like to go to the hospital, be here at nine.
    If not, give Ayden a message for me. I don’t need a fucking keeper. If he wants me watched over, he can do it himself. Please don’t take this personally, Trevor, but it’s time for me to find myself, and it’s not going to happen if I have a bodyguard.”
    A streak of independence poured through Nicole. She didn’t need a man. They might all be mated somehow, but that didn’t mean she needed to give in to her cravings. Plus, maybe what she needed existed outside the walls of this apartment. Maybe she’d go out again.

    Nicole walked over and held open the door for Trevor, who looked completely shocked.
    “I’ll tell him. I’m sorry. I feel like an ass, I…” he laughed.
    “You’re something else. I’ll see you in the morning.”
    Trevor walked over, kissed her cheek, and left. Nicole locked the door behind him. The tears were long gone with the anger that now took over. If she focused on anything but Ayden or her new pull for Trevor, she would be okay, she hoped.
    Deciding to go back to bed, Nicole walked to her room and set the alarm for eight. Once this horrible night was over, she could start off tomorrow by keeping herself busy.

    A cloud of dust kicked up from behind Ayden’s truck as he headed down the dirt road to the ranch. The land had been in his family now for generations. Sandia, Texas was a small town. The one hundred and fifty acres gave him plenty of space to think. Plus, it wasn’t too far from Corpus Christi, so he could get back to town rather quickly if he needed to.
    Just last year, Ayden contracted people to come in and build a house to replace the small one that was starting to fall apart. The pack met up here once a month during the full moon and bi-weekly for meetings. It was a safe way for him to watch over everyone. Now he escaped here to watch over himself.
    Nicole would be better off without him. Trevor would take care of her. He knew more than anything his best friend could make her happy.
    Why then did his gut twist every time he thought of them as a couple? The sex wasn’t that much of a big deal, but them together as a pair meant something completely different. They’d be paired, equivalent to marriage, in his opinion.
    Trevor was irresistible to the ladies. The fact they weren’t already Stalk Me

    being intimate surprised him. He’d feel it if they were, but he didn’t feel anything but extreme happiness, which made him even more sick.
