What the hell just happened?
I wasnât sure if I'd imagined all of that, or if I was dead, or what. It was possibly the best sex Iâd ever had in
my life.
Slowly, I turned my face to the side. I was on my back on our big bed. Lanie next to me. Xander behind her.
I felt behind me. Zane was there, not touching me but close enough that my hand found his naked skin. I let it
rest there for a few seconds before I took it back.
Lanieâs eyes were closed. Her glorious bare breasts rose and fell with her breathing, and my heart was
beating, so I knew that we werenât dead. I wanted to say something to her, but I just couldnât find the energy to
speak.
My brother let out a snore. He was still alive, too. Goddess, I was knackered, but in the best way. I rested
my hand on my mateâs belly, and she murmured sleepily and turned onto her side to press her butt against me. Incredibly, my
cock

I was almost too tired to let my mind dwell on everything that was concerning me. My thoughts tried to
tumble around like laundry in a dryer, but at the same time, my physical satisfaction was so great that all I
could really do was kiss Lanieâs shoulder and let her snuggle closer.
Surely it wouldn't hurt to sleep for a little bit... just a little nap...
âThat was beyond amazing. The way you took control of everything, the way you were so demanding. So
hot, babe.â Xanderâs sleepy voice broke into my attempt at dreaming. âBut I have to say, Lanie, I thought I was
supposed to be the Alpha.â
Athrob of embarrassed energy leaked out of her, but I frowned and pushed up on my elbow to look acro
her at Xander. He was the Alpha? Fuck that noise. I thought we were past that, but apparently not.
Xanderâs eyes opened when he felt me looking at him. He scowled at once and sat up with Lanie still
between us. âWhatâs your problem?â
âNothing, bro,â I said, but I couldnât stop my lip from curling or my wolf from rumbling. I felt my eyes blaze and didnât try to pull my
wolf back.
âSeriously, dude. The fuck is your problem?â Xander demanded as Lanie yawned and struggled to sit
upright.
It's a good thing she was still there, because otherwise I might've just reached across to punch Xander in
the teeth. As it was, my fist clenched until I forced myself to relax. Moments ago, we'd all been sleepy and
sated. Now I was ready for a smackdown.
Asmall alarm bell was ringing in the back of my mind at how fast my mood had changed, but I dismissed
1. Of course, I was pissed off.
Lanie put a hand on each of our chests. âHey, Cut it out.â
Xander shook away her touch. His eyes blazed, boring into mine. âAll of our dicks were just swinging around, so I donât know
what you're trying to say. If you have something you need to get off your chest, why. donât you just say it?â
I was aware of Lanieâs shouting when I launched myself off the end of the bed and around the foot of it to
get at my brother. Xander had already leaped up, both his fists raised. We were snarling at each other, feinting
Lanie jumped up on the bed, batting at us, but Zane grabbed her back and out of the way.
punches. Lani
This room was big, but not quite big enough to do more than jab at each other without bumping into the
bed, the dresser or the wall. I swung anyway. Xander took a single neat step back and barked out laughter.
âA swing and a miss!â he shouted with glee. He twitched his fingers at me. âCome on, man. You want to
hit me? Fucking hit me!â
âTalk about swinging dicks.â Zaneâs tone dripped with acid, cutting between me and my brother. âIâm about
to get a black eye from one of them if you donât watch it.â
Lanie was in the middle of the bed with her knees drawn to her chest. She wasnât crying, but her eyes were wide and watery.
She sniffled.
Xander put his hands on his hips. âIf you really want to fight me, bro, letâs at least put some pants on.â
âMason, what's going on?â Lanie asked in a trembling voice.
The trouble was, I couldn't really put my true feelings into the right words. All I could do was point at
Xander. âYou're not the only Alpha, and Iâm fucking sick of you acting like you are.â
