already?
Levi leaned in and took a deep breath, and just like that, the cat was out of the bag.
Levi"s demeanor changed dramatically. With gentle ease, he slid Reggie off his lap and placed him in-between Devon and him, and turned to look out the window.
Devon frowned a little and opened his mouth to speak and then must have caught the scent, because he closed his eyes and mouth and continued driving although his speed increased.
“Who was holding you?” Devon asked instead.
“My dumb ass mother and Roarke. They were not the ones in charge, though. They kept talking about someone they called the Master. I put a trace on the account they wanted the New Council funds transferred to. Unless they are really brilliant, which they are not, they will never know. We should be able to track them through the money they spend.”
“I will let the Alphas know. Did they hurt you or Ruby?” Devon said and Levi growled.
“Just knocked us around. My mother would not let anyone hurt me, but they did hit Ruby. I tried to protect her as much as possible.” He muttered but knew his mate was going to blame him.
“You did what you had to.” Levi said softly but still looked out the window.
Reggie wanted to cry and scream and tell them the whole story, but he knew this was not the time. His mate was not in the mood to listen, and he was too choked up to speak.
They had not intended on hurting the big wolf, this is what he was afraid of. He had to claim Ruby when he did; they needed the protection that it provided. Besides, Reggie had not been able to control himself around Ruby, just like when Levi got over being mad, he would have a hard time keeping his hands off him.
Devon drove the SUV to the underground parking garage that Quin had insisted on being built just a month ago. It had a staging area that they used when they were going on patrol. Currently, that area was buzzing with activity. Reggie could see that there were other cars and wolves, who had just arrived.
He searched for the small female who had taken his heart with her when he left her in the apartment. It only took him moments to locate her, but it felt like a lifetime. Levi stepped from the car and caught the small woman as she flew into his arms. Reggie watched, and Levi hugged her and buried his face in her neck. It brought tears to his eyes the feeling of completeness that flowed over him. His mates were together finally.
Ruby pulled back, kissed Levi shyly, and then turned toward him. She stepped to him and cried again as she threw her arms around him. He did the same thing, buried his face in her neck, and breathed deeply. Damn it, he could smell their claiming, and he looked up to warn her about Levi"s reaction. They needed to get into a room, together and alone so they could explain and talk.
“I love you.” Ruby said to Reggie as he pulled back, and she kissed him. He heard the small gasp that Levi let loose, and he pulled back to look for his other mate.
“Fuck!” He whispered as he watched Levi walking away stiffly.
Devon stepped up to them and said quietly, “Let me.” When Reggie nodded, he went after Levi.
“What?” Ruby said quietly.
“Levi smelled our claiming in the car. One minute he could not keep his hands off me, the next he looked like I shot his pet.” Reggie said, “I know you have known him longer than I have, but what my mother said still keeps coming back to me. Do you know about his parents?”
“No, he would never really talk to me. The only times we did, he always told me that I needed to see the world before we mated. I thought it was because he did not want me.
Now, I think maybe he was worried about his past. I think we need to talk to Quin. He knows Levi the best. He grew up in the same Pack, and Levi listens to everything that Quin says.” Ruby said looking around to see if she could find where Levi went. “If he thinks he can hide from us, he is wrong. I will not have it!” She yelled.
