Free Love Found [Pack Law 6] (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting) by Becca van Page B

him to release her.
    “Put me down right now, you fucking asshole. I am not letting you hurt me.”
    Another hard smack landed on her bottom, making her cry out at the sting, and she renewed her efforts to get away. Her breasts were swollen and her nipples peaked as if they were begging to be touched. The deep-seated need she felt for Rylan, Tarkyn, and Chevy scared the crap out of her. She’d never experienced such internal fire or desire in her life. Just as she decided to take a bite out of his ass, she went flying through the air. Alyson screamed out with fear, but that noise was cut off as she landed on a soft surface and bounced a couple of times.
    After a quick glance she realized that she was in one of their suite’s bedrooms. How the hell did he get me here so fast? Those thoughts left her head as she looked at Rylan. He was furious. She could see the heat from his rage emanating from him. The muscles of his biceps bulged and his hands were clenched into tight fists. His body was pumped and ready to fight.
    Alyson backed away from him, crab walking up the bed on her hands and feet, and whimpered when her back hit the headboard. She was trapped and had nowhere to go. Tarkyn and Chevy stood just inside the doorway of the room, their eyes going from Rylan to her and back again. Even though Rylan looked so pissed off, she still wasn’t scared that he would hurt her. She was frightened of her own reaction to all three of them. The way they all looked at her made her feel sexy and feminine. Her arousal ratcheted up another notch and the itch to have them touching her was so needy her whole body felt like it was one massive ache of desire. Tarkyn looked just as angry as his older brother, but Chevy was frowning with concern.
    “Don’t you dare back away from me, you little hellcat. I would never hurt you,” Rylan snarled at her.
    “You already did,” she gasped between pants and then mentally cringed because she knew that wasn’t really true.
    She recoiled as he moved around the end of the bed. He came closer to her, and then, to her surprise, he sat down on the side of the bed and just watched her. He took a few deep breaths and the tension slowly eased from his body. Alyson lowered her head in relief. It seemed that not all men took their anger out on women after all.
    “Alyson, I would never, ever raise a hand to you. Please don’t be afraid of me. I spanked your ass, baby. I didn’t hit you.” Rylan reached out his hand, palm up, looking her in the eye as he waited.
    Alyson’s apprehension slowly faded, and she reached out to place her hand in his. He turned his hand around until their fingers were threaded together.
    “Baby, I know you are an independent woman and are used to taking care of yourself. I get that.” Rylan gave her a slight tug and then wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her onto his lap. “But you have to realize it is our job as your mates to make sure you are protected at all times. You also don’t know that what you did just challenged my authority over you in front of my Alphas as well as other members of my pack. You have to remember that we aren’t human, Alyson. If you challenge a wolf, there are consequences.”
    Alyson thought about all the documentaries she had seen on the TV regarding wild animals. She had recently watched a show on wild wolves, and when one of the lower pack members had challenged the alpha male over a meal, the alpha had bitten the other wolf and chased it off. She hadn’t even thought about what she was doing when she had stood up for herself. No wonder Rylan had been so angry. To do so in front of the other pack members and Alphas was just asking for trouble.
    “I’m sorry.” Without thinking about what she was doing she stroked a hand over his pecs and lowered her eyes. “I didn’t mean to goad your animal, but you made me so damn mad when you were talking about me as if I wasn’t there.”
    “I’m sorry, too, baby. I shouldn’t have
