Before I can answer anything, Alana has changed her attention to Ita, whispering with her, low enough for Shayan not to hear it, but loud enough for my sharp ears to pick it up. She tells Ita about what she just told me.
“Getting his ass whooped? Something tells me Tynan would like that,” Ita says slyly.
“Yes, he seems to like the hands-on approach,” Alana agrees.
Again, before I can react and tell my two insufferable friends to shut up, my wolf chimes in.I wouldn’t mind getting spanked by our hot general.
Are you serious?I huff.
Just look at him and his hands… his strong arms. Orion says, and I swear I can see him drool.
I allow my eyes to wander down Shayan’s body and to his hands. One of his arms is bionic, which makes him look just so captivating - and even hotter-, and the other… it’s obvious he was used to working and training a lot. Trust my annoying friends and my wolf to put ideas in my mind.
“Is everything alright?” Shayan’s voice pulls me out of my trance.
I put on my perfect smile. “Let me get you more to eat.” I hurry towards the bonfire and save the best pieces for Shayan, before returning to him and proudly handing him over my prey. Okay, it doesn’t exactly live up to my imagination of curling up to my mate after a night of hunting in a tent… in the wild, still sweaty and bloody from the hunt, after we ate my prey and then had wild sex.
But it’s still good!
And something tells me, my very attractive general wouldn’t be quite into this idea. So, this has to do.
*CAELAN*
It gets colder the further the night proceeds, and we decide to head back so that Aza won’t catch a cold.
“It was fun to spend the night with the three of you.” She pauses. “Wait a moment-”
“No, you can’t take it back now,” Flinn laughs.
“You said it,” Endellion teases.
I grin. “I heard it too.”
She smacks Flinn’s arm. “You know what I mean!”
“We should give you something to drink more often,” Flinn grins.
Endellion peels her fingers off Flinn’s arm and makes sure she grabs his instead. His gesture makes Flinn roll his eyes, but he doesn’t say anything. Ende has that look of determination on his face, a sign not to cross him. Despite his calm nature, he can be scary.
I sniff the air. It seems like something is burning. “Do you smell that?”
“Must be a bonfire,” Flinn says. “Let’s go and check it out.”
We follow the scent, and soon, my nose takes in the well-known scent of my sister and some others. Indeed, it’s Alana, Gamma Ita and Tynan sitting around the bonfire, and General Shayan. Azadeh’s face mirrors my surprise, while Flinn just raises his eyebrows.
“These are curious developments,” Endellion says quietly.
“No kidding, brother,” Flinn agrees.
Azadeh looks confused at first, as she eyes how Shayan and Tynan talk to each other, then however, her eyes widen slightly, and a beautiful smile lights up her face. She probably doesn’t notice it, but whenever she lets her guard down, her natural beauty and gentleness come through.
All my sisters are completely different from her in one way or another. It’s beautiful to have another person under my protection now. Soon, the others catch on that there are visitors and Alana waves at us.
“Fresh meat,” Ita hollers. When Flinn wants to comment on her words, she waves him off. “I was talking about the princess, of course, young alpha.”
Flinn, as usual, just laughs at her words and sits down between Tynan and Alana.
“And Ty?” he asks innocently. “Shared your prey?”
