behind him.
    “You’re awful bossy, mate.” Syn smirked and lifted his eyebrows before pointing over Echo’s shoulder to Hex. “I thought he was the alpha.”
    Hex groaned as he stepped forward and wrapped an arm around Echo’s waist. “I thought so, too, but my mate was kind enough to inform me of how wrong I was.” Echo felt the man’s massive shoulders lift in a shrug. “Now, I’m just here for my looks.”
    Snorting, Echo bumped Hex with his hip. “Hex calls most of the shots, but if I feel strongly about something, I don’t have a problem speaking my mind. This handsome guy you were chewing on is Eyce.” Echo went around the room introducing his lovers. “The two that left were Syx and Vapre. They all belong to me,” he said firmly, then gestured toward the threesome on the sofa. “And these are our friends, Gage, Mac, and Sony.”
    “The sun will be up in a couple of hours, so let’s get you guys fed, bathed, and set up in the basement. It’s a little drafty, but the only place you’ll be safe from the sunlight.”
    “We’d appreciate that.” Jinx nodded respectfully. “Thank you.”
    “Speaking of the sun.” Gage rose from the sofa again and fidgeted nervously. “We have another issue.”
    “The full moon,” Hex muttered under his breath. “Tomorrow night?”
    Gage nodded.
    “We’ll deal with it.”
    “There’s supposed to be a storm moving in tomorrow,” Fiero said, speaking for the first time since Echo’s little episode.
    Hex groaned and rubbed at his temples. “Okay, okay, I’ll figure something out.”
    “Wait!” Echo held his hands up. “Why is this a problem? Are you not sentient when you shift?” Granted, he didn’t know a damn thing about werewolves, but his demons still maintained their intelligence and memories when they shifted. They looked a lot different, a little creepy, but that was the only change.
    “Yes and no,” Gage answered. “I have some sense of who I am, and I will recognize my mates. I can’t say the same for the rest of you. I’m sorry.”
    “So, what do you normally do on the full moon?”
    “I lock myself in the basement.”
    “And now we have vampires in the basement.” Echo groaned. Why couldn’t things just be easy? “Maybe we could lock you in another room?”
    Gage shook his head quickly. “No. I was always alone when I shifted. I won’t risk hurting anyone.”
    “You said you’d recognize your mates, right?” The thread of an idea drifted through Echo’s head. “I think I have a plan.”

    “Are you sure about this? It seems kind of mean, not to mention dangerous.” Fiero rubbed the back of his neck as he address Hex.
    “It’s the best plan we have. We’ll stand guard and make sure everything is okay before we leave them for the night.”
    “I don’t like this,” Gage said as he climbed under the covers on the big king-size bed.
    Fiero didn’t like it either. The idea of having a werewolf loose in the house with his mate during the full moon did not sit well with him. They had no guarantees Echo’s plan would work, but as Hex had pointed out, there weren’t any other options.
    The snow had blown in sometime after lunch, dumping a foot of the white, fluffy mess on northern Montana within hours. As dusk approached, the storm raged, showing no signs of retreat. Their resident vampires were still sleeping soundly in the basement, and Fiero and Hex waited for the full moon to rise so they could subdue and bind a possessive werewolf…while his mates were in the room.
    Yeah, it was a fucking peachy day.
    “The sun has almost set,” Gage said tightly.
    Fiero peered out the window, a look of skepticism covering his face. “How can you tell? It’s been dark all damn day.”
    “I can feel it. Another couple of minutes or so.” Gage’s breathing was coming more rapidly, and he groaned in what sounded like pain as he threw his head back on his shoulders, the cords in his neck flexing and straining.
    “Are
