Trio of Mates
Chapter 43

Naughty Alpha, I mindlink to Zak. How could you send Devin’s father to interrupt their fun? I have been silently cackling about that in my head ever since Zak said that.

He deserves it for the way he spoke to Dev on his birthday, Zak replies, shrugging his shoulders.

Not gonna disagree, but what about Dev and Xander?

How are they going to feel?

I think they’ll replace it hilarious. Zak smiles at me, laughing his a-ss off in his head.

I can’t help it. I join in his laughter, just thinking about Richard having to deal with his h0rny son and his son’s mate.

Just then, Brand on sits down beside us, snuggling into my side and nuzzling my neck. Each day that we get closer to his birthday, the sparks become more and more intense. I bite back a m**n at the pleasure that shoots through me.

“Hey, Big Bad. What’s up?”I ask, voice a little breathy.

Zak notices, his eyes going to my already hardening n!pples. But Brandon doesn’t seem to as he leans back on the couch, pulling me with him.

“Dad wants me to have dinner with him tonight, ” he says into my neck. “He says that there are things that he wants to talk about before I become Beta tomorrow.”

Instantly the atmosphere changes. Gone are the lvsty thoughts and my body’s reactions. Our mate is upset and we want to comfort him.

Zak walks around to Brandon’s other side and puts an arm around his shoulders. I shift so that my arms wrap around his wa!st, my head lays on his chest.

Brandon’s body seems to relax with both of us touching him.

“Are you going to go?” Zak asks, tracing soothing patterns on Brandon’s arm.

“I said I would,” Brandon says. He releases a heavy sigh. “I wanted to spend my last night without a mate with you guys, but I guess that will have to wait for after dinner.”

“Don’t worry about us, Brandon,” I say, cupping his cheek so that he looks into my eyes. “We will always be here for you, in whatever capacity that you want.

You need to be with your father. Hopefully this can start to mend some fences.”

Zak leans in and places a k**s on Brandon’s temple. I peck his lips. We stay like that, cuddled together on the couch for a few minutes before Zak’s cell phone rings.

Sighing, he grabs it, checking the caller ID. He sighs, Duty calls.” Answering the phone and walking over to his desk he answers, “Alpha Isaac, thank you for calling me back”

“I guess that’s our cue to get back to work,” Brandon says. He starts to get up, but I stop him with a hand to his chest.

“You ok?”I ask.

His smile is warm as he looks down at me. “Yes, Red.

Thanks to you and Zak, I’m feeling a lot better. Thank you.” He gives me a quick k**s and I can’t help but melt a little.

“I love you,’ I say.

“I love you.”
