Free Lorelei by Celia Kyle

continue their search for Paisley, while we dispatch Alpha and Warden Pairs to nearby hotels, but there is still one issue at hand.” Lorelei sensed the unease in Keller’s tone. The man was the Ruling Alpha. What had him scared?
    “And we said no.” Zeke’s words were calm, but a new tension had his muscles tightening.
    “Don’t you think she should get a choice?” Madden countered.
    “Not when it means one of you touching her. The answer is no.” Dylan’s voice was smooth as ice.
    “It’s the only way. Carson and Aidan already said no. You three aren’t mated yet. That means she can choose for herself,” Keller volleyed.
    “Carson and Aidan said no to what?” Rebecca pulled away from one of her mates and eased to her feet before spinning on the males. “You said no to what?”
    Oh, Lorelei knew that tone.
    “Baby…” Lorelei was pretty sure that was Aidan. Who knew a bad ass guy could sound so sweet.
    Unfortunately for him, Rebecca wasn’t falling for it.
    She hoped Zeke and Dylan took notes because the Twynhams were alike in some things. Such as men taking choices away from them.
    Rather than watch Rebecca get into a verbal fight with her mates, Lorelei got to the real point. She tore her gaze from her sister and focused on Keller. “What do you need us to do?” Twin growls surrounded her, but she wasn’t going to be denied. “Zip it, guys.”
    “Miles and Holden can find people easily when we’re limited to ground level. Even a few stories are okay, but we’re looking at twenty floors and then there are the basement levels and parking.” Keller shook his head. “They tried to find Paisley after touching Rebecca, but it wasn’t enough. They need a blood sample.”
    Lorelei furrowed her brow. “That’s it? And they’ll be able to find her then?”
    “It’s very, very likely. It’ll be a deeper connection.” Keller nodded.
    “Why not let Scarlet donate?” Zeke snarled.
    The other Ruling Alpha leaned forward, death written into every feature. “Do you think we could stop her if that’s what she wanted? Neither of us would like it, but it’s for family and above all, Scarlet values family. If she was a close enough relative to Paisley, she would. But she’s not and we have her sisters here.”
    Dylan tensed as if he’d rise and Lorelei leaned away to grab his wrist. “Wait a minute. Calm down,” she murmured before turning her attention back to the Ruling Alphas. “Okay, that’s what has everyone’s panties in a bunch?” She focused on Carson and Aidan. “And you wouldn’t let Rebecca donate? Seriously? It’s our sister . One asshole has already tried to take Rebecca and another four came after me, Whitney, and Dylan. And you’re still saying no?”
    Rebecca stepped away from her mates and she almost felt bad for the two wolves when she saw their expressions. The two men looked like their very souls were walking away from them. Then again, wasn’t that the truth?
    “You…” Rebecca sounded heartbroken and Lorelei pushed up from the couch.
    She reached her sister and drew her close, wrapping her arm around Rebecca’s shoulders. “Shh, we’ll take care of it now.” Lorelei glanced at Emmett and Levy. “How do we do this?”
    “Lorelei…” Zeke’s warning came with a rumbling growl.
    “No.” She shook her head. “I get the whole wolf possessive thing, but she’s my sister. After all of this mess… Rebecca and Paisley are all I have left, Zeke. My parents, my grandmother… they’re gone as far as I’m concerned. I don’t have a family beyond my sisters. We’re all each other has.”
    Heartbreak filled his gaze and it was as if she saw it shatter. “You have us, Lorelei.”
    She let her hand drift from Rebecca and padded toward the gorgeous man. She cupped his cheek, ignoring the flash of light that came with the contact. With her free hand, she grasped Dylan and tugged him closer.
    “I know, and my sisters don’t make what we’re building any less.
