“I really wish I could drive. This isn’t fair to you. You better be asking for a big raise after this,” I say and he laughs, shaking his head.

“Not necessary, honey. I would have done this for free.”

Angel leans forward and whispers something to Ken, but I can’t hear what. Doesn’t take long for me to find out though.

Christmas music begins to play and Angel takes my hand. “Sing with me, Vixen,” he says, then starts to sing and my jaw drops.

Holy fuck! He can sinngggg. He gives me a smirk, the cocky alpha. I join him, harmonizing on one of my favorite songs and he smiles wider. His voice is gritty, powerful and I can tell he’s had some form of training.

Fuck, he’s even hotter now. I’m dripping as the song ends and about ready to rip his clothes off when the door opens and Beck enters. His face is flushed and his hair messy.

I guess Angel was right about them having a moment in the bathroom. He looks around. “Where’s Tate?” he asks and my eyebrows raise.

“Wasn’t he with you?” I ask and his eyes widen as he shakes his head.

“No, I needed a few minutes to myself, so I went on a walk as I thought.”

“I’m sure he’s fine,” Angel says, taking out his phone and texting his cousin.

I am so fucking confused right now. Ken starts to sing a new song and Angel joins in, probably trying to change the tension in the car now. I hum and Beck lip syncs, staring out the window.

I move over to him and take his hand, startling him. He tangles our fingers together and I lean my head on his shoulder. Sighing, he relaxes a little and I preen. Ever since that night together I feel as if he’s avoiding me, even if we are only a few feet apart.

He’s distanced himself from me and I don’t know why. Angel stops singing and shows us his phone.

Tate:I’m on a call with my dad. I’ll be back in a few.

Beck stiffensand looks at Ken. I can see him staring back at him through the rearview mirror. They seem to have an unspoken conversation and when Ken shakes his head, Beck sighs and wraps his arm around my shoulders, holding me closer, relaxing once more.

I don’t know what’s going on, and honestly these alphas are still essentially strangers to me, but even as they keep their secrets, I don’t feel threatened. If anything they make me feel safe.

Shit! I’m totally falling for these three.

I must have dozedoff again. I wake up wrapped tight in someone's arms, with a fluffy blanket wrapped around me. There is a beautiful voice singing and I don’t want to interrupt. Wait, is that Beck?

Tate stops the song and I sigh, snuggling deeper. “That’s good, but I think I like this better for the chorus,” Beck says quietly, then sings again.

Lies been toldfrom birth to twenty-one

Life don’t stop we live on

Heaven help this fool erase a mistake or two, and help him to see he was wrong.

I needto get back to a time I felt like trying

Life doesn't stop, we keep on.

Time to pick myself up from off of the ground.

No more crying,or feeling like dying.

It’s time for us to move on.

“Yes, I like that,”Tate says and I can hear a scratching noise as if he’s jotting something down on a piece of paper.

Are they writing a song?

Angel joins in and sings the lyrics Beck just said and I get shivers down my spine. Wow, these men sound incredible together.
