Free The Alpha Takes a Mate by Sam Crescent

what was happening there.
    “That’s enough,” Darcy said. He opened the door letting them both into Brandon’s home. They walked up the stairs to the room she’d woken up in after Brandon bit her. Darcy let her go but remained by the door and her only chance of escape.
    “What’s enough?” she asked, sitting on the edge of the bed.
    “I let you watch your friend walk away. I promise you she’s in good hands with Lewis. He won’t do anything to hurt her.”
    “He’ll try to sleep with her,” Elle said.
    “So, she’ll be brought to many orgasms. Lewis has never had any complaints. I’ve heard women say he’s got the tongue of a god.”
    She glared at him folding her arms over her chest. “Are you guys always like this?”
    “Like what?”
    “Blunt and disgusting.”
    Darcy laughed. “We’re honest about ourselves. If that makes us blunt and disgusting then you’d better get used to it, Elle. You’re our queen, and that means you’ve got to deal with all of us.”
    She stared down at her hands. “I’ve never seen him react like that before,” she said.
    “His beast was taking over. Brandon is the most controlled out of all of us. However, the guy touched what was his, and no one accepts that,” Darcy said. She watched as he grabbed a seat by the door. He sat down staring at her.
    “The wolf is always there?” she asked.
    “Look at my eyes.”
    His eyes turned from piercing blue eyes to bright amber. She jumped back on the bed hugging her knees against her chest.
    “To answer your question, the wolf is inside us all the time. There is no getting away from it. The best we can do is try to control it.”
    “Have any of you ever lost control?” she asked, thinking about Brandon.
    “Regardless of what you think, Elle, Brandon was still in control even though he wanted to rip the bastard apart.”
    She shook remembering the roar coming from his lips. The instant she felt the hand on her ass she’d known trouble would come. Brandon was not the type of man to let something like that slide.
    “W-what do you think he’s doing?” she asked.
    “You don’t want to know.”
    Tears filled her eyes , but she didn’t ask any more questions about what Brandon was doing.
    “You’ve surprised me,” Darcy said.
    “Why?”
    “I expected you to talk my ear off.”
    “Why?” she asked, staring at him over her knee.
    “Because I’m a wolf, and I work with your mate. I’m like a walking, talking encyclopaedia on my kind, and yet you’re not asking any of the right questions.”
    “Why ask when you’d not answer?”
    Darcy shook his head. “I wasn’t answering that question, Elle. It doesn’t mean I’m out of answers for other questions.”
    She nodded thinking what to ask him.
    “Why do you guys only run on the full moon?” she asked.
    “It’s tradition. Brandon’s father started it before he died, and he continued it on. We can change at any time of the month. The moon brings the wolf out, and we embrace it. The energy from the moon is intoxicating. Some men have refused to turn back to human.”
    “They’ve stayed wolf?”
    “Yes. Personally I love my cock too much to stay as a wolf. There is so much I love about being human. Talking with you and watching you blush being on the list.”
    She rubbed her cheeks, smiling at his teasing.
    “See, I take everything seriously, Elle. You’re the queen. You shouldn’t worry. Brandon and I will worry for you.”
    “You shouldn’t have to worry at all.”
    Darcy shrugged. “I’m a natural worrier. It’s in my blood.”
    “Do you drink blood?” she asked.
    “No, we eat meat raw if we catch it in wolf form. Even though we’re in control during the change, the beast is still there, needing to be feed.”
    Elle was about to ask him something else when the sound of the door opening and closing echoed throughout the house. Brandon was back.
     

Chapter Ten
     
    The sound of the human male screaming did little to appease Brandon’s mind.
