“We have too,” Jack adds.

I watch Ryan in fear.

He bursts out laughing.

I look to Jack, frightened. Is he having a psychotic break? Is he about to snap on us?

“How about that!” Ryan crows, still laughing. “The whole clan imprinted on her! That’s got to be a one in a million situation. Have you ever heard of something like this happening before, Jack?”

“Never,” Jack says. “Really, Luka, you too?”

“Definitely,” Luka says. “I’ve never felt anything like it.”

“Hang on,” I interrupt. “You’re not mad at each other about this?”

“Mad?” Ryan asks. “Why would we be mad? This is great. It brings us together as a clan. When we’re ready to breed, we’ll have more potential. This is going to be great for all of us, Cami.” He hesitates. “Are you okay with it?”

Am I? I have to stop and think about it. All the worrying I’ve been doing since this whole mess got started has had to do with the men’s reactions. I haven’t given much thought to my own. Am I okay with belonging to every member of this clan?

I think about Luka’s gentle but masterful technique. I think about the rough, almost brutal, powerful way Jack took ownership of my body. I think of the unsolved mystery of Ryan and how eager I am to figure him out.

“Yes,” I say, looking to each man in turn. “I agree. This is going to be great.”
