what to do about his feelings for Red. He knew he loved her. He didn’t want to live without her, but he couldn’t turn against his family. She hadn’t given him much more than her body, but he knew, if he had the chance and time, he could make her fall in love with him. He hoped.
    The door banged open. Jericho manhandled Rudra into the room. “There. Now work it out, alpha, and don’t leave the house until you do,” Jericho growled and slammed the door behind him when he left.
    Fenris stared hungrily at the woman he could no longer deny as his mate. Her hair curled around her face and trailed over her heaving breasts. The scent of feminine need and fear filled the air, simultaneously teasing and unnerving him. Red, afraid?
    “Red.”
    “Fenris.”
    They spoke at the same time.
    He paused. “You first.”
    She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Her nipples pebbled under the long-sleeved pullover she wore. When she opened her eyes, they gleamed like topaz. “You’re free to go.”
    He took a step towards her and stopped. “What?”
    “I said, you’re free to go. You’re not a prisoner here. You have our thanks,” she said stiffly.
    The glassy sheen gathering in her eyes alarmed him.
    “Are you okay, Red?”
    She coughed. “Just go, okay? Go back to the Great Forest and your Silver Clan. Jericho will guide you safely through the woods. Know that we owe you a great debt—”
    “Bullshit. What’s wrong with you?” He grabbed her by the arms and yanked her close. “This is because of my uncle, isn’t it? Well, I can’t help it. I am who I am.”
    “What do you want from me?” she yelled, startling him with the depth of her anger. “I’m letting you go, giving you exactly what you want. Do you want an apology in blood, is that it?”
    “What I want is you naked and in the middle of that bed,” he snarled and shifted into his werewolf, slicing through his clothes as he transformed. “I want to make the final claim on you I should have made days ago. And then I want to fuck you until you can’t walk. Until our pup grows in your belly. I want to stand by you and protect you for the rest of your life.”
    She stared at him in awe and blinked away the tears streaming down her face. The scent of her fear receded, replaced by a mouth-watering arousal. “You do?”
    He ran a claw over her cheek, mesmerized by her scent and by the glow of love in her gaze. “I love you, Red. But I can’t lie. I can’t go against my clan for you. I’ll do anything else you want. But I can’t turn against the family who raised me.”
    “I should never have asked you to.” She sighed and nuzzled her cheek across his chest, mixing their scents. “You’re strong and big and mine. And though we’ve been dancing around it, you know you claimed me weeks ago. I haven’t forgotten waking up to find a wolf behind me, either.”
    “Hmm. Yes, I remember that.” He ground against her belly, digging his cock into the hard plane of her abdomen. “Still, you’re not fully mine, yet.”
    “But I want to be,” she said softly and took his furry face in her hands. “I love you, Fenris.”
    “By the Wolf, it’s about time.” He nuzzled her cheek and stood back, letting her look her fill. “I’m so hard, it’s not going to take long to do this. And I promise, I’ll do my best not to hurt you.”
    She didn’t flinch, his perfect mate. Red walked toward him and cupped his thick erection. Her touch made him groan.
    “I happened to find an unguent in my father’s stash. It should help me take this monster up my ass.” She rubbed her hand over the head of his shaft, taking the milky evidence of his excitement and spreading it over him.
    “Strip and get on the bed,” he growled, beside himself. Finally. The female would belong to him, and everyone would know it.
    She took her sweet time shedding her clothing. Then she grabbed a small jar off her dresser and took it with her to the bed. Bent over, she dipped her
