Free Kianna and Her Three Alpha Wolves [Featherstone Pack] (Siren Publishing Ménage and More) by Debbie Bailey Page A

deal still stands.” Kianna stepped away from Duncan and Teaghen. Teaghen knew she was trying to create some distance between them so she could get a handle on things.
    “I need some time to absorb all this mate stuff, so until I tell you otherwise, the deal we had about you giving me space and us dating still stands.”
    “Whatever you want, Kia,” Alex finally spoke. Taking her hand, he drew her to him, one hand coming to rest at her waist as he brought his other one up to take hold of the back of her head, pulling her lips to his.
    They were both out of breath when he released her lips, leaning down to say quietly, “Thank you, sweetheart, for giving in to us on this. We know you can protect yourself, but our wolves would not rest if you weren’t close to us.”
    Kianna’s smile radiated warmth as she said to him, “I’ve always come to you because I knew you’d always keep me safe. Why should now be any different?”
    Duncan burst out laughing and headed out the front door with the rest of them following behind him.

    The drive back to the compound was thankfully uneventful, and once they’d arrived, Kianna knew that this had been the right decision.
    Waiting for them were three very large, very irritated looking men. They were a little shorter than Duncan and his brothers, but hell, most men were. But they were just as built.
    “Who are the three snarly-looking brick walls standing in front of the house?” Kianna couldn’t hide her giggle.
    Duncan smiled along with her, and when they stopped, he jumped out of the vehicle and quickly opened her door.
    “Those three ‘brick walls,’ as you put it, are Simon, Ash, and Savage,” he told her.
    “Savage…? What kind of a name is that, or do I really want to know?” She couldn’t keep the laughter out of her voice. She didn’t know why she couldn’t stop giggling. It was so unlike her. She liked to laugh as much as anyone, but she hadn’t giggled since she was a little girl.
    Both Teaghen and Alex were now beside them as they headed inside.
    “We need to get you into a hot bath and then bed. You’re starting to crash from the events of the day.” Teaghen walked slightly ahead of them, shaking the new men’s hands when he came up to them.
    “Hey, guys, thanks for coming over so quickly,” he said.
    Turning back to Kianna, he took her hand and pulled her closer so that he could introduce her.
    “Kia, these are some of our seconds. They’re gonna hang around for a while to give us some backup,” Teaghen told her.
    “It’s nice to see you again, Kianna.” Savage, who was the bulkiest of the three, stepped forward and took her hand gently in his larger one and kissed it and smiled playfully at her when Teaghen emitted a growl deep in his chest.
    “Calm down, boss. I was just saying ‘hi.’” His grin widened across his face.
    “Yeah, well, say ‘hi’ without your lips anywhere on our mate’s body,” Teaghen snarled quietly back at him.
    Kianna was curious because Savage had said he’d seen her before. Certainly she would have remembered this man.
    “I can see those brains cells working away trying to figure out where you’ve met Savage before,” Duncan said to her.
    “He worked on Bubba’s ranch the year before you left,” he explained. “He got a job there so he could keep an eye on things. Bubba was a first-class troublemaker and doing business with some shady characters even then.”
    “I do remember you now. You were the one who stopped Sean from kicking the shit out of me after I hit a baseball through the window of his new truck.” Besides the Featherstones, no one had ever stuck up for her before, and she had been grateful that he did. She walked over to him and gave him big hug.
    “Thank you for saving me that day, Savage,” was all she said and then headed into the house.

    Both men watched her walk away.
    “She’s a special one, boss. I still have nightmares sometimes about what would have
