Bell quickly moved between them. Standing to block Peter from Alice.
“Ok, let’s all just back up a little bit. This is starting to feel a little tense,” she said. “Alice, just so you know, Myka is the one that jumped on Peter, ok? Peter hasn’t done anything wrong.”
Alice’s gaze did not shift or move. Her eyes focused entirely on Peter.
“Is that true, Peter?” she asked, a soft growl in her voice. “You didn’t do anything wrong?”
Peter swallowed.
Bell looked back over her shoulder at Peter.
“Tell her, Peter,” she whispered.
Peter looked away from Bell.
“Did he really leave?” Peter asked.
Alice nodded.
“Alpha Alexander rushed back home to Summer. There was an issue with Selene,” Alice replied. “The other nomads were struggling to make any decisions, and Myka was completely useless.”
Peter looked at the ground, wondering just how distracted Myka had been.
“What happened to Selene?” Bell asked.
“I’m not sure,” Alice shook her head. “All Alexander told Axel was that there was something wrong, and he needed to get back to make sure she was all right.”
Bell nodded and looked away.
“I don’t think Galen knows anything about it or is in any kind of danger,” Alice added. “From what I understand, it was something that only Alexander would have known through their bond.”
Bell nodded and smiled, appreciating that Alice was trying to help calm her nerves about a potential threat to her best friend and husband.
Alice looked back at Peter.
“The point is, Axel called for a recess in order for Alexander to get his situation sorted while the nomads are given a chance to get their thoughts in order. Myka was the first out the door, saying he had no reason to stick around.”
Another soft growl hung at the center of her words; Peter swallowed.
“Rather strange for someone that begged for the opportunity to come here,” she added.
“How do you know Myka?” Peter asked.
“He’s my little brother,” Alice said.
Peter’s eyes went wide.
Bell’s brows furrowed.
“Wait, what? How?” she asked. “You look nothing alike, and he certainly doesn’t look like Holden.”
Alice chuckled.
“The same way Axel is your brother,” she replied.
“Oh…” Bell replied.
“I have known Myka for a very long time. He is family to me,” Alice said, looking back at Peter once more. “So, again… why has Myka stopped smiling?”
Bell moved to catch Alice’s gaze. Giving her own angry look.
She had a healthy fear and respect for Alice, but she also was Peter’s friend, and she wasn’t going to allow anyone to try and force him into a relationship he had no interest in.
“He’s probably upset because Peter rejected him,” Bell replied, standing taller before Peter. “Something he had every right to do. You can’t force him to accept Myka as a mate, even if he is your brother.”
Bell clenched her jaw and stared back at Alice, prepared to defend Peter.
But Peter touched her shoulder gently. Bell looked back at him.
“Do you really think that she, of all people, would try to force someone to accept a binding they didn’t want?” Peter asked softly.
Bell glanced back at Alice.
Alice gave her a soft smile and a slight raise of the brow but said nothing. Instead, she just shifted her gaze back to Peter, still waiting for his answer.
Peter took a deep breath.
“Let’s all go have a seat in the living room,” he said, walking past both women to grab himself a glass of water.
They all made themselves comfortable. Peter took his spot curled up inside his blanket, Bell sat on the other side of the couch, while Alice sat down in the recliner.
“What’s going on, Peter?” Bell asked.
He sighed.
“You want to know what the deal is with Myka and me,” he said to Bell and then turned to Alice. “And you want to know what happened yesterday, right?”
Alice nodded.
“Yesterday?” Bell asked.
Peter nodded.
“I didn’t know there was a yesterday,” Bell whispered, glancing at Alice.
Alice smirked.
“All right,” Peter sighed. “I’m feeling… open to sharing today.”
Bell tried to hide her excitement.
Though it was apparent that something bad had happened between them, she couldn’t help the curiosity she felt about the story of Peter and Myka.
In the years she and Peter had been friends, he had hardly shown any interest in anyone for more than a day or two. Even those encounters, being frowned upon in the traditions of Winter, were few and far between.
Bell smiled to herself as a thought occurred to her.
Peter was not a Winter wolf, so the traditions didn’t affect him the way they did most others. Selene was the Alpha of Winter’s daughter; tradition was everything to her.
Very different personalities and values, but both rejected their true mate for one reason or another, even though they clearly loved them very much.
It was infuriating, while also very funny.
‘Selene,’ Bell whispered in her thoughts. ‘What happened?’
Bell sighed.
“Why do you look more nervous than me?” Peter laughed.
Bell smiled and took a breath.
“I’m a little worried about Selene,” she replied honestly. “Sorry. I just can’t help but wonder what happened that would make Alexander rush home so quickly.”
463 I’ll Help You
[Two Days Ago]
Selene’s mind stirred; she felt the coolness of the sheets against her bare skin and smelled the melting wax and smoke from the candles lit around the room.
‘That’s weird,’ she thought. Knowing full well she had worn a nightgown to bed and hadn’t lit any candles.
The bed moved just slightly behind her, dipping with a sudden weight, and then the heat of his body curling around her spread over her skin like wildfire.
Selene took a deep breath, inhaling his scent and closing her eyes to let it fill her.
His warm mouth settled over her throat, kissing her gently as she leaned back against him.
She smiled.
“You really are an incubus…” she whispered.
He smiled against her throat.
“And I plan to steal every drop of your delicious energies,” Alexander whispered. His hot breath sent pulses of pleasure rippling through her nervous system.
His fingertips trailed over her shoulder to trace her clavicle as his naked body pressed against her back. Gentle lips touched against the curve of her throat as she released soft pants of anticipation.
Alexander’s fingertips continued down to trace small circles over the top of her breast until he found her nipple.
Selene licked her lips as she unconsciously stretched her body back against him for more access.
Alexander sucked gently on her throat as his fingers massaged her breast. He pressed his lower body firmly against her, letting her know how much he missed her.
Selene let out a moan. She reached back, trying to touch him, to make him feel the pleasure she felt as his hand teased her nipple. But he pulled his hand away from her breast and stopped her.
He grabbed her hand and whispered.
“No,” he said, moving her hand to her stomach. He nibbled at her ear as his hot breath whispered. “Touch yourself.”
