finally come to your senses and decided to give this place a try.”
    “Yes, well, I don’t plan on making this place a regular hang-out, but I think it will help me make the transition to the bottled blood Neo provides.”
    Ramiro made a face. “I hate that stuff. Although the Liquid Crimson is good for a treat on occasion.”
    “I’ll have to take your word on that. I’ve never been much of a drinker. One glass would probably knock me on my ass.”
    Ramiro chuckled. “It’s strong stuff. I doubt it would even take that much if you’re not used to it.”
    The phone in Haig’s pocket started to vibrate. He pulled it out and grinned before answering. “We’re on our way.”
    “Good. I feel like I’m about to crawl out of my skin,” Kern informed Haig.
    “Need a fix, do ya ?” Haig smiled, glancing at a well-fed Audric .
    “I think I need a double-fix if you know what I mean,” Kern answered.
    Haig’s cock filled immediately. “Be there in fifteen minutes.”

Chapter Four
     
     
     
    The sun was coming up when Haig and Kern finished their run. Kern had kept to his promise and renewed his connection with Haig through his wolf. When they reached the edge of the woods, Kern shifted and waited for Haig to do the same.
    Kern rubbed the back of his neck. “Good thing I heal quickly. You bit the shit out of my neck.”
    Haig stepped closer and pulled Kern into his arms. “I think my wolf needed to remind you of your first mate.” Haig traced the tattooed oak tree on Kern’s back. “I’ll never be able to apologise enough for running out on you like I did. But I’m back now, and I don’t plan on ever leaving you again.”
    As Haig continued to trace the individual branches inked into his skin, Kern was reminded, once again, of how many years Haig had stood by him. “I know I keep saying this, but I’m sorry things happened the way they did. Even though I can no longer fight the changes taking place between me and my new mate, I’ll try my best to deal with the mating frenzy when you’re not around.”
    Haig released his hold on Kern and walked several steps away, giving Kern a view of his identical tattoo. “I watched the two of you through the window.” Haig glanced over his shoulder. “I need to be honest with you about something.”
    “Okay.”
    “Watching you and Audric turned me on to the point that I had to touch myself.”
    Kern felt as though a heavy weight had been lifted off his shoulders. “That’s good, right?”
    Haig shrugged and turned to face Kern. “It’s not the sex that bothers me. It’s the thought of you falling in love with him that tears me apart.”
    “Why?” Kern tilted his head to the side. “Don’t you think it’s possible to love two people?”
    Haig shook his head. “Not equally, no. Especially since you’ve just started the frenzy. You’ll be in his bed more than mine. I can’t help but believe I’ll become your second choice.”
    Without a word, Kern started towards the house. “I can’t believe you think so little of yourself and me!” He spun around to confront his mate. “Are parents asked to choose which child they love the most?”
    He thought of his own family and waved his hand. “Not in my case, of course, but most parents. I just can’t…” Kern let his hand drop. He’d spent his entire mated life trying to prove to Haig he was worthy of everything the Alpha had given up to be with him. Although he wasn’t in love with Audric , Kern knew it would happen. The vampire was sexy and sweet and actually needed him, unlike Haig. “Eventually, I will fall in love with him.”
    “I know,” Haig answered.
    “So fall with me. There’s absolutely no reason for you to make an outsider of yourself when it comes to my relationship with Audric .”
    Haig shook his head. “Except that he’s not my mate!”
    “So make him your mate.” Kern hadn’t thought of it before but it was the perfect solution. He could tell Haig was about to object.
