the secrets you both have been sharing. If you think I m going to let you go running into
a dangerous situation on some kind of suicide mission, you are more nuts than I am,
Merek declared, his gaze switching back to focus on Jace.
Cory sank back against the bed as Jace advanced to stand directly in front of
Merek.  We will be helping Cory s people, my people. You can come along or stay here.
That s on you.
 I am alpha of 
 You are alpha, Jace goaded.  Good for you. Do you want to pull out our dicks
and measure them to see who gets to be top dog?
Merek s eyebrow arched.  Oh, babe. I would love to see your cock.
Jace rolled his eyes.  Once Jacob gets here and we put together a plan, we ll be
leaving.
Merek gripped his shoulders and yanked him forward. He leaned down until he
was an inch away from Jace s face. Even filled with fury, all Jace wanted to do was close
the distance and taste Merek s lips. The wolf within him wanted nothing more than to
push his hips to Merek s and grind against the hard shaft he knew was hidden beneath
the blanket.
 You ll stay where you are. I ll help Cory. Merek tilted his head to look over at
Cory.  My pack will assist your family.
Jace slid his left foot forward to hook it around Merek s right foot and jerked
effectively, landing Merek on his back with a loud thump and a low snarl. Feeling a
great measure of satisfaction in taking him by surprise, he knelt down, his knee pressed

onto Merek s chest. Merek could have put up a fight, but instead he lay there, his
crystal-blue eyes wide with shock.
 I know you re used to being at the top, but I don t bow down to anyone. If you
want to work together, that s great. I welcome the help. But I don t trust you or your
pack.
Jace s silver hair fell around Merek s face as he leaned down and whispered in
Merek s ear.  And when we get to fucking which I m sure we will in real life, I never
bottom. He nipped Merek s earlobe and sat back on his haunches.
He heard snickering behind him and winked at Cory.
Merek pushed up onto his elbows and shook his head.  You re going to be even
more trouble in the flesh, aren t you?
 Only in the best of ways, he promised. Forever might not be on the docket in his
life at the moment, but there was no reason he couldn t enjoy Merek s body if the
occasion arose.
 Are you boys about done with your bickering? I was going to make breakfast.
Emma peeked around the corner of the door frame. Her eyes twinkled before she
turned and left them to their debating.
Poor Cory had barely gotten in a word edgewise since Merek had interrupted
their little powwow. Jace turned to face him.  Listen, we ll figure out the best course of
action. I promise I will do everything in my power to reunite you with your family. He
held out his hand and ran it through Cory s hair. The deep connection of the Light was
very muted, but there.
The heavy weight of Merek s hand fell on Jace s shoulder.  We have a lot to do,
and we re wasting daylight.
He craned his neck to look up at Merek.  What s on the agenda for today, oh
powerful alpha?

Cory laughed, and Jace experienced a moment of pride that he was able to draw
such a joyful noise from the somber man.
 Ha-ha, Merek grouched.  First we eat, and then I have to introduce you both to
the pack.
 Why the hell would I want to meet them? he burst out. Didn t Merek realize
how damaging introducing a male mate could be? Jace might not be part of a pack, but
he knew being gay wasn t generally pack accepted and especially not for the alpha.
Merek was going to get Jace s group killed before Cory s family could even be rescued.
Cory s hand found his and clutched it in a crushing hold.
 Because, Merek reasoned,  like it or not, you are my mate and Emma s
grandson. Plus, Cory is a part of your pack. I need to assure the pack you re not a
threat.
 I ll give you the grandson thing, but I don t know how smart it is to introduce me
as your mate. Jace s hardheaded mate was going to drive him insane.
 Why? There was a flash of hurt in Merek s eyes that he couldn t hide. Jace hated
that he was responsible for even a brief moment of Merek s pain. All Jace was doing
was trying to protect him.
 Because& how will you explain& I mean& I m a man, he managed to stutter
out.
 Really? Merek s eyes widened, and he smirked.  Listen, my beta already knows
about you, and the rest of them will just have to fall in line. I m the alpha, and fate
decides who my mate is.
 If they re going to help us, then I think we should do what Merek says, Cory
interjected.
Jace squeezed his hand before pulling away.  All right. Let s get this over with.
He stood.  But I d prefer to be clothed when I meet your pack. I don t suppose you
happened to grab my bag in all the chaos?
SCENT OF A WOLF | 47
 Yeah. Sean brought it in.
Great. At least he d be able to wear his own clothes. He might only have a couple
of changes, but beggars couldn t be choosers.
Merek s lips quirked.  Can you be a little more& passive at the meet and greet?
He rolled his eyes.  Yes, master. Any other way I can service you?
Merek s eyes blazed, and he muttered,  Tease, and walked out the door.
 Boys. Move it. Breakfast is getting cold, Emma yelled from the kitchen.  And
Cory, there are some clothes in the closet that should fit you.
Jace smiled at Cory.  Get ready, cub. The sooner we resolve this whole meeting-
the-pack situation, the sooner we can begin our plans.
 If you re the alpha s mate, does that make you the woman? Cory grinned.
 Fan-freakin-tastic. He growled. There wasn t enough time in the world to
prepare for what was to come. Hell, he was more concerned with meeting Merek s pack
than going into battle with Erikson s men.

Chapter Six
Merek turned down breakfast and headed out, even though he desperately
wanted to stay with his mate. Jace had turned out to be everything Merek thought he
would be. Merek had always yearned for someone who exuded passion, not a mate he
could walk all over. Granted, he would have preferred his mate not be so intent to go [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
