my neck, and his fingers graze across the back of my neck as he does up the clip. I turn my head back to look at him and let my hair fall down. Myles surprises me by stroking my hair and lifting a strand between his fingers. I tell myself it’s normal to feel so much attraction to a hot man in my room, standing so close to me. It doesn’t have to mean anything more than a simple attraction.
I’m sure Myles doesn’t see me that way. It would be too complicated if he did...and I have a plate full of three men who I don’t think know about each other. How I’m supposed to tell Henry about how I might want to really mate with Ren, feeding on and kissing Thallon...I don’t know. There isn’t a handbook on how to juggle three men at the same time without letting them kill each other. I need Vesnia’s advice.
I need my friend.
“Katy, I need to tell—” Myles starts off, but the door swings open and Henry steps in, closing the door behind him. The smile on his lips instantly drops into a frown as his eyes narrow in on Myles, the embers in them burning to life in anger. Myles wraps an arm around my waist, pushing me behind him in one smooth motion with a long growl echoing from his chest.
“Wait!” I shout, pushing Myles’s arm off me and jumping into the middle. Jumping in the middle of an angry alpha wolf and a dark angel isn’t the best idea I’ve ever had, but I’m not letting this happen. “Henry is my mate now, so he is just reacting to you touching me. Give me a second.”
“Mate? You’ve taken a mate?” Myles all but growls at me, and his reaction isn’t something I really understand.
“Technically she has two mates. The master vampire has a mate bond with her soul, but they haven’t accepted it yet, but they are close,” Henry informs Myles, sounding way too smug for my liking as he steps closer, wrapping a possessive arm around me.
“How could you know that?” I demand, and Henry looks sheepish as he answers me.
“Ren is my friend, you know this. I’m not against your relationship with him, and he will see reason about us. Your wolf friend might be a hard pass, though,” he warns me, his eyes flickering to Myles.
“She is my true mate as well, Angel-Prickhead, and I don’t give a shit who Ren is. I’m not going anywhere unless Katy demands it.” Myles’s statement hangs in the air as I turn to him, my wide eyes matching my mouth which has dropped open. Myles nervously meets my gaze, and everything about us seems to make far more sense now. I’ve never been overly attracted to anyone except for Henry, Thallon, Ren and now Myles...and it seems it’s meant to be this way. Only, what do I say to Myles? We have known each other less than a few months, and I haven’t even seen his wolf or kissed him more than once—and he jumped away from me like I was on fire. True mates...that is a statement.
“I need some time to deal with this all,” I say, biting on my lip and stepping away from them both. Myles looks hurt for a moment before he looks away from me, and my heart hurts for him. I didn’t mean I needed time away from him...that’s not what I want. Hell, I’m making a big mess of this. “Henry, did you come here for a reason?”
“Oh shit, yeah,” he says, still staring at Myles like he is his worst enemy. “I asked Bryne if you could see Vesnia alone, and he agreed. It’s too dangerous to meet in public, but Thallon said his house is currently empty. Vesnia is waiting for you there, and I will guard outside. You have about an hour.”
I can’t help the smile on my face as I jump at Henry, hugging him tightly. “Thank you!” I don’t wait as I slip on my boots and rush out of the door, hoping Myles and Henry will work out their problems. Or fight it out. Either way, I don’t want to be there. I get to the end of the corridor, and being as brave as I can, I run and jump off the balcony into the air, spreading my wings out to glide. Henry’s laugh finds my ears as he jumps off after me and flies
