curve.”
    Leticia rolled back her upper lip and groaned. “With Arnold sitting there, maybe you should— Actually, you know what? I’m gonna go make another pot of coffee.” She zipped away.
    “Coward!” Leo called after her.
    “Yep.”
    Leo craned her neck around and looked at Arnold again. “What happened last night?”
    His lips were so close, and he had the nicest pair of lips she’d ever seen on a man. The top was a perfectly formed archer’s bow with a dip in the middle, sized just right for the press of a fingertip. Her fingertip, to be precise. The bottom lip wasn’t too bad, either. It looked pillow-soft and sweet enough to lick.
    “But I won’t, because I’m holding a baby and that’d be weird,” she said.
    “Pardon?” he asked.
    “Huh?”
    “You said you won’t do something because you’re holding a baby. Won’t do what ?”
    Derp.
    She cleared her throat and scrambled away from him. “You’re hearing things.” Fortunately, he let go of her, sparing her another awkward plop onto his lap.
    “Pretty sure I heard you too,” Alpha said, “but that doesn’t matter. Let’s clear some things up. First things first, you left your husband?”
    Leo gave Kinzy’s diaper a testing squeeze, hoping she’d soaked herself and gave her mother a good reason to flee from the room.
    Dang it. Dry as a bone.
    Leo groaned, and her shoulders fell with resignation. “Okay, first of all, I don’t consider myself to be his wife. That dishonor goes to the first lady who got saddled with him.” She added in a mutter, “The poor wretch.”
    Alpha snorted. “Duly noted.”
    “And, yes, I left him. Or really, I left the home he put me up in. He wasn’t there at the time. Contrary to what you might think, he didn’t have us all in the same house. We were really spread out, and he’d hop around from one wife’s little shack to the next one.”
    Arnold made some noise that was either a supremely disgusted scoff or a very controlled sneeze.
    “What?” she asked.
    He shook his head and made a go on gesture.
    She narrowed her eyes at him. “ What ?”
    “Forgive me for taking umbrage.”
    “He can’t help it,” Alpha said.
    Leo pulled her gaze back to him. Before she could spit out the obvious follow-up question, he said, “So you learned his wife schedule?”
    “Well, sort of.” She shrugged. “I figured he’d have one, because that would make sense. That way, all the broodmares are equally miserable, right? But the best I could tell, he went to whoever’s house he felt like at any given time. He might stay a few nights at one lady’s, go to another, and then go back to the first one. Totally unpredictable.”
    “How did you know when to run?”
    She cleared her throat, and glanced back at Arnold, who was toying with the point of a steak knife and grinding his teeth. “What?” she demanded.
    “You gonna tell me you ran right after he left your house one day, aren’t you?”
    “I wasn’t gonna tell you .” She gestured toward Alpha. “I was gonna tell him . He asked.”
    “So did I.”
    “No need getting cranky about it.”
    “The least thing I am is cranky.”
    On that inscrutable note, a small woman with long dark hair and a profile that looked remarkably like that of the scowling wolf beside Leo poked her head into the room. “Oh. There you are.”
    “No bloodshed yet,” Alpha said with a chuckle.
    “I guess that’d be hard to manage with her holding a baby. Arnold, you don’t need me here, do you?”
    “Nope. Why?”
    “That consulting doctor is in town to run some tests on me. They want to rule out epilepsy as a diagnosis.”
    “Petra, you never told me epilepsy was one of the options.”
    Petra. Ah. The twin.
    She was pretty, but Leo shouldn’t have been surprised at that. It would have been a travesty if Arnold had gotten all the looks.
    Petra shrugged. “You weren’t here. You were out mate-snatching, I guess.”
    “Snatch mate say what now?” Leo balked.
    “He
