so…” Jasper looked around with his hands swirling in front of him.
“Quiet here. It’s creepy.”
Zeus pulled his mate into his arms, running a knuckle down the
side of Jasper’s face. “I know it’s a big change for you, going from
one pack to another. I’ll get you anything you need to make the
change easier on you, except the little men. Mates will come with
time. We do have three to start you off with, though they’re not
mated.”
Rave rolled his eyes. He could see now that the redhead was going
to get whatever he wanted, and Zeus was going to follow blindly
behind him.
Jasper beamed up at Zeus. “Really? You would do that for me?”
“You’ll change your mind when you meet those three.” Rave
shuddered. “They make up for twenty mates running around.”
“I hear you say, but not nice.” One of the mentioned little men
came strolling into the living room, glaring at Rave.
“Hello, menacing,” Rave taunted.
“It’s Minsheng for hundredth time.”
Rave watched as the short man crossed his arms over his chest
and narrowed his eyes at the Alpha’s mate. Let’s see how the redhead handles Mr. Mouth.
“Oh yeah, now this I’m used to.” Jasper stuck out his hand. “I’m
Jasper.”
Minsheng looked Jasper up and down, ignoring the offered hand.
“Another soldier?” he sneered.
“Enough, Minsheng,” Zeus warned. Rave started to wonder if he
should rescue the little brat before the Alpha choked the shit out of
Minsheng.

“He’s adorable,” Jasper cooed at the man.
Rave jumped up and grabbed Minsheng when the little brat
flipped Jasper off, Zeus shooting his hand out to throttle him.
“Let’s go, menacing.” Rave carried the guy away.

Jasper watched Rave carry “menacing” away. “Is he always so
prickly?” Jasper found himself a new buddy. He liked the guy’s
spunk. He was a little fierce, but oh well, all the more interesting.
“That’s him on a good day.” Zeus chuckled.
Jasper stood there caught in a spell. His mate’s smile lit up his
whole face. His cock was getting hard just looking at those deep set
dimples. What a prize fate had given him, grrr.
Jasper slid his hands up Zeus’s chest, wanting to climb this
mountain and stick of flag of triumph on his head. Those big brown
eyes stared down at him with longing, which was why Jasper was
puzzled as hell when Zeus grabbed his wrists in a gentle hold and
pulled his hands away.
“Would you like to tour our pack lands?”
Hell no, he wanted to be claimed, and then fucked, and then have
hot and funky sex. It didn’t matter in which order, as long as all three contained sex. What was up with his mate?
“Okay,” he answered demurely. Jasper had no clue why he was
acting this way with Zeus. Demure and submissive weren’t even in
his ballpark. There was something about the big guy that made him
feel so fragile.
What the fuck?
If he wanted celibacy, he would have stayed at Maverick’s.
Maybe Zeus was nervous? He was too, but that didn’t stop him from
wanting to climb the walls as he shouted hallelujah.
Fine, his cock could wait, even though it was pounding behind his
slacks, begging to break free.

He pouted and followed behind the big guy. Zeus held the door
open for him, took Jasper’s hand in his, and led him around pack land.
“We are mostly pack here. The town has quite a number of humans
who live here, but all the businesses are pack-owned. Only the
soldiers and Betas live in our home, for protection reasons of course.
Everyone else has their own.”
Jasper was fascinated to learn this. A pack-run town, how cool
was that? “Do the humans know about the Grey wolves?”
“No, and we plan on keeping it that way. It’s better for us if they
don’t know, less chance of our existence coming to light.” Zeus led
him down a path that ended at a pond. It was simply magnificent.
Water lilies floated around, with fish swimming to and fro. Jasper
knew he just discovered his think spot.
“I discovered this little paradise when I first took over the pack.
It’s beautiful.” Zeus shocked Jasper. He didn’t seem like the type to
appreciate beauty. Zeus was more of the type to kill and walk away
without a backward glance.
Jasper heard before he saw Rave walking at a fast pace up to
them.
“Alpha, we have a problem.”

Zeus was irritated as hell at the interruption. He let his mate’s
