I shot him a taunting smirk.

“Yeah. I can’t risk any basic bitches like the Wolves Shadowbrook surrounds himself with getting in to my pack so we gotta make sure you can keep up. But don’t worry – I get the feeling that a girl used to running rings around the FIB has got what it takes to become an Oscura,” I told her.

Laura grinned like she knew she had it in the bag too and Sonny wrapped an arm around her as he drew her away.

Ethan whistled to get Laura’s attention as they passed him by, but she turned away from him like he was irrelevant to her and my grin widened. Girl knew the value of loyalty and wasn’t afraid of the big bad Lunar. I got the feeling she’d fit right in with us.

I turned my gaze back to my magical woodland with a sigh and prepared to pull apart the magic I’d used to create it. It was so frustrating. Like nothing I did here was allowed to have any purpose or longevity. How could I take pride in my magic when I knew it would have to be destroyed within hours of making it all the damn time?

"Why so glum, wild girl?" Sin's deep voice drew my attention from the view of my little woodland sanctuary, and I turned to look at him over my shoulder just as he moved up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"What are you doing?" I growled, batting his hands off of me, but he just tightened his grip, his thick, muscular arms locking me against that broad chest of his as he chuckled.

"Don't make me beg, kitten, I've just spent a week in the hole with nothing but a cold, hard wall to cuddle up to and you know how my kind need physical contact. We can make a trade if it'll suit your Alpha personality more, but just let me spoon you a bit first."

"Your dick is grinding into my ass," I pointed out as I gave in. There were seriously worse places in the world a girl could find herself than in Sin Wilder's arms anyway.

"Yeah. But you like it, so it's all good," he purred, rolling his hips in a way that couldn't be natural for a guy his size and making me gasp as his hard cock pressed right between my ass cheeks.

Roary chose that moment to step out of the trees and he raised an eyebrow at me in Sin's arms before moving closer and extending a silencing bubble over us.

"You know, if you're looking to make Ethan jealous, you don't have to be so obvious about it," he bit out, looking kinda pissed himself, but I wasn't playing into his bullshit. If he didn't want me then he wasn't going to have any kind of say in who else I might pick instead of him.

"Ethan?" I asked in confusion.

"He's right behind us, baby cakes, and if rage and jealousy could feed my monster, I'd be good and stocked up already," Sin joked before whirling me around to look over at Ethan where he stood amongst his pack glaring at us. I’d assumed he’d fucked off after Laura dismissed his ass, but apparently he was still watching me and I didn’t know how I felt about that.

Sin dropped his mouth to my neck, kissing me and making a shiver shoot down my spine as I arched my back against him.

"Stop," I protested, but the way I was gripping his arms tight around my waist said something more along the lines of don't stop. Oh well.

For a moment, Ethan looked about ready to flip out, go full Wolf and come drag me out of Sin's arms. But then that troll, Harper, sauntered over, took his hand and tiptoed up to place a kiss on his lips. He turned his cheek at the last second so she missed his mouth, but the fury that small act lit in me was instant and filled me with murderous intentions.

I lurched forward with a possessive growl tearing from my throat and Sin's grip locked tighter around me as I tried to leap right out of his arms. He swung me back around like I weighed nothing at all and promptly hid me from view of the conniving little skank and my traitorous unwanted mate.

"Fuck him," I spat before descending into Faetalian as I lost my shit and Roary raised his eyebrows in surprise like he hadn't known
