Chapter 21 - Charlie
The day goes by in a blur of phone calls and paper shuffling. Everyone thinks that being the Alpha and Luna of a pack is all glamorous. That we get to give orders and everyone else carries them out. But the truth is, it’s more like being the CEO of a company. We have to do a lot of networking in and out of the pack, completing paperwork, and understanding a little bit of every single job that happens in the pack. It is mentally exhausting and by day’s end, I’m wiped.
It isn’t until Brandon walks in, bare-chested and covered in sweat, that Zak and I realize that we have been on the phones to other packs for hours. We’ve made good headway and have several prominent packs pledged to our side, but there are several hundred packs in America. We’ve got a long way to go.
Brandon leans against the door jam, arms crossed over

I’m half awake, my eyes still closed, when I smell the most wonderful aroma ever. It is a heady mix of oak, nutmeg, and leather. I open my eyes and immediately see Xander sleeping beside me. “Mate,” I growl out and my wolf howls within me. I know that I knew about Xander being my mate before now, but this sudden sensation, this sudden sense of completeness, of being whole, is entirely new. Is this how he’s felt ever since we met days ago? I growl again, nuzzling my nose into his neck, my chest coming in contact with his bare back. Suddenly, sparks dance along all the surfaces that our skin touches and my dick immediately hardens. “Mmmm. Why are you up so early, Babe? We can still sleep some more,” Xander says, voice muffled in the pillow.
Trio of Mates Chapter 23 - Zak
After an exhausting day of phone calls about war and rumors of war, Charlie and I had spoken to nearly all of the packs on the East Coast. We had alliances with several of them and several owed us favors. These packs held strong to their promise to us. My Goddess given gifts of negotiation had helped many and they wanted to help if they could. The difficulty was in convincing the ones who we hadn’t been involved with. We are a fairly well-known pack and I have at least a passing acquaintance with all of the Alphas on the East Coast. But that doesn’t mean that they are willing to help without knowing who the threat was or why. Even if you had the golden tongue of Hermes, how do you call someone that you barely know and ask for help in a rumored war, but you can’t provide any details? “Hi, this is Alpha Z

This is torture. Pure, agonizing, prolonged, and exquisite tortue. Xander and I are seated next to each other at the high table, in the place of honor on the left of the Alpha. The meal before us is sumptuous and unending. We are offered the choicest selections, after the alpha and luna, by gracious omegas. Both men and women shoot us seductive and flirtatious glances and smiles as they place plate upon plate in front of us. They know that Xander and I are unmated and they are hoping that they will fit the bill or at least be able to warm our beds for a time. Meanwhile, my mate is right beside me. He speaks amicably with Charlie’s father, whose position he will be taking tonight. Though Xander was not trained to become a Delta, he is a fierce and skilled warrior. He will make an excellent Delta. Charlie’s father will help to train him on the fine
Trio of Mates Chapter 25 - Brandon
The Oracle turns to the pack and says, “I give you Gamma Devin Laoch and Delta Xander Hawthorne.” The pack stands and cheers. The feelings of acceptance and love flow from all of us to our new leadership group. In a few days, we will do this again for me. I can’t wait to be standing there, to complete what I have been trained for, what I’ve strived towards my whole life. A feeling of longing sweeps through me, knowing of the bond that those five now share. Suddenly, above all the noise, I hear Devin yell, “MATE!” I am pulled out of my thoughts just in time to see him grab Xander. He yanks the right side of Xander’s collar aside, ripping the shirt nearly in half in the process. He bites into Xander’s neck, marking him as his

Can’t we just tell them? I plead with Zak via the mindlink. It would make all of this so much easier.Babe, you know we can’t, he responds. For one thing, the Goddess said not to. For another, I won’t risk losing Brandon. We just got him back in our lives and got him into our bed. I refuse to jeopardize that.He cuts the link and I make an irritated noise in the back of my throat. Damit. I know he’s right, but this shit is a pain in the ass.Most of the others have left, but Zak’s office still contains the current pack leadership, the former leadership, Xan
Trio of Mates Chapter 27 - Zak
“FUCK!” I scream, slamming my fist into the wall, punching a hole in it. I don’t even realize that my hand is bleeding until Charlie wraps a towel around it. I try to shake her off. “Leave it. It’ll heal in a few minutes.” “Yeah, but we don’t need to get blood in the carpet,” she mutters. “Well, that was a fucking shit show,” Devin exhales a loud sigh. His hands are fisted at his temples and his shoulders are slumped. Xander, looking much more human at this point, puts his hand on Devin’s shoulder. “I’m sorry, Babe. I didn’t mean to lose it like that. If I hadn’t - “ “He would have kept going,” I say, falling heavily onto one of the couches. “He was angry and he just chose you to vent on.”
Trio of Mates Chapter 28: Brandon
The second I left Zak’s office, I ran out of the pack house. I quickly undressed and shifted, racing into the darkness of the night.I’ve been running all night, trying to outrace my feelings of betrayal and loss. How could they not tell me? They all knew and hadn’t said a word. It’s not like Devin and I were in love, we both knew that the other would find their mate soon. But a heads up would have been nice. I was happy for him. He was one of my best friends.Of course, I hadn’t told him about Charlie and Zak asking me into their bed, either. But that’s beside the point. I was mad at them.Or was I? Honestly, I think I just felt left behind and left out. They had all found their mates. Yeah, Charlie, Zak, and
Trio of Mates Chapter 29 - Devin
I wake up feeling Xander’s arms around me. The tingles from the mate bond spark up and down my skin and I am already aroused by the feeling of him against me. I savor the feeling of his arms around me, his chest against my back, and his morning wood beginning to stir against my ass. I push my ass further into him and his erection responds with fervor. He grinds against me, but I can tell he isn’t fully awake yet.I am about to act on my baser urges, when the events of yesterday all come crashing back. If that isn’t a mood killer, I don’t know what is.I try to mindlink Brandon, but he is either shielding really hard or is asleep because he doesn’t respond.I link Zak, since Charlie is definitely not a morning person.
