again like that
young lady and I’ll roll them right out of your head” speech she’d
gotten so often at that age. Of course she’d have to edit it a bit,
but still, the idea of turning into her mother wasn’t at all
appealing. She’d heard enough of her friends talking over drinks to
know it was a universal dilemma.
Sighing to herself, she turned back to Devin,
“I will agree to work with you.” Because I’d do anything to get
Angie back. “But even you have to know what a difficult sell
this is going to be. The Wolf Pack is going to be more than a
little reluctant to believe your change of heart, even though they
will be grateful for Angie’s safe return. And the Supreme Council
is probably going to want to send at least one overseer.” Hell’s
bells and horseshoe nails, knowing that paranoid bunch, they’d send
a whole contingent. And none of this was even considering the
conniption fit her two mates were going to throw, just thinking
about that conversation sent shivers up her spine.
Devin’s sly smile let her know he’d already
foreseen everything she’d mentioned. “I’ve arranged transportation
for you since my brother’s guest doesn’t have a passport.
Everything is made in Trevlon Wolf’s name, he and your grandmother
will be waiting for you at the private field. I’ve sent the
directions to both of your mobile phones so you shouldn’t have any
trouble finding your way.” All Kit could do was stare at Devin in
open-mouthed shock. Was he for real? Who kidnapped a woman in hopes
of joining forces with their family? Again, he must have known
exactly where her mind had gone because she shook his head, “I am
not the one who arranged for Dr. Michaels to be taken from the
hospital. Personally, I think her work is far too important to risk
her safety, but as I said, my brother isn’t at all concerned about
the future of anyone but himself. Angie will tell you the names of
the women involved, but I’d be willing to bet you already have that
information.”
With a flick of his wrist the bubble around
Angie vanished and she ran to Braden putting herself between the
two wizards. Before Kit could respond Devin as gone, but his voice
rang through her mind, ‘ I’ll meet you in the meadow during the
next full moon, your word is your bond, Kit—and I know you won’t
disappoint me. There is too much at stake, your children’s future
hangs in the balance. Little Ryan’s and Adana’s fates are in your
hands.’
Chapter Five
Kit looked around the dungeon and wondered
how her husbands had managed to make so many upgrades to the large
space without her noticing. Granted, she had been gone a few days,
but Trev had been with her and the changes she noted in their
private playroom definitely had his signature style. Everything was
period perfect for the medieval era most commonly associated with
dungeons and torture devices, and those things simply weren’t
important to Jameson. And even though the pieces of furniture
filling the large stonewalled room might be designed for erotic
pleasure, they were still intimidating. She wasn’t sure she would
ever be completely at ease with the harsher side of the lifestyle
her two mates had enjoyed prior to their mating, but then again,
they didn’t seem particularly excited about her becoming too
comfortable either.
She’d been lost in her thoughts, Kit hadn’t
realized they’d both stopped talking off to the side. Oh
fricking fairy farts, did they ask me something? They get really
pissy if I don’t stay focused on what’s happening. Keeping
focused had never been one of Kit’s strong points. Jameson’s growl
filled the air, “Kitten? Are you going to answer the question?” Question? Shit, shit, shit. What the hell did they ask?
“Umm, well, I must have missed it the first
time…Sir.” Always a good idea to tack that on when in
trouble. The Dominant portions of both of men’s personalities
seemed to respond well to her submissive side,
