know you will be thinking the Easter bunny is real, too.
    “I’m not saying I believe anything,” Aiden answered his inner voice. To even entertain the notion that these men might be wolves seemed ridiculous.
    Aiden tucked his chained hand under his pillow and got comfortable. If and when the other men returned he’d wait up to prove to himself that they weren’t animals.

    Sometime later Aiden woke up to barking and a few distant howls. He shot out of bed and raced to the window. The light was off so man or beast wouldn’t be able to see him, but he could see them.
    Movement in the trees that ran along the front of the property caught Aiden’s eye. He watched as Skyler followed by Viktor, Josef, and some guy he’d never seen before all filed out of the woods. Now Aiden didn’t find that part odd. It was that they came out of the woods buck-ass naked that Aiden found peculiar.
    The men headed toward the house, but Aiden’s attention stayed on the row of trees the men had just exited from. Aiden watched as a very naked Devon emerged from the shrubbery. He stood tall and proud, and Aiden couldn’t help looking the man up and down as he stood there in all his glory.
    Aiden fisted the drapes hanging at the side of the window. His eyes started at Devon’s feet and worked their way up his thick legs up over his exposed cock then roamed over his chiseled chest. Aiden stood there like a fool as his desire for the man holding him captive overcame him.
    A fair amount of time had passed, and Devon never moved. Aiden gathered his nerve and looked up toward the man’s eyes. Devon stood there staring back at him. No expression on his face.
    Aiden reached up to touch the window, almost waving to Devon. The next thing Aiden knew, Devon was moving. Quick, wide strides were carrying the man to the house in record time.
    “Shit.” Aiden pushed away from the glass and hopped up on the bed and pulled the comforter over his head.
    Now that he wasn’t looking at the most beautiful man he had ever seen, his brain decided to catch up with the current events. He saw five wolves in the yard and five men came out of the woods where the wolves had entered.
    He couldn’t rationalize what he just witnessed, but the eyes didn’t lie.
    The sound of the front door shutting had Aiden pulling the blanket tighter around his head and clenching his eyes tight. Devon was coming for him, and the only thing Aiden could think about was werewolves.

Chapter Eight
     
    Josef thought it would be a good idea to go for a run, so Devon agreed. Running helped him sort out his thoughts, and it would also help him burn off all that excess sexual energy. He’d love to expend it on his mate, but that wasn’t going to happen. Aiden made it pretty clear he didn’t want anything to do with him. But Devon couldn’t fault him that. Being held against his will could cause that.
    Devon also didn’t want to tell Aiden they were mates because if Aiden did have feelings for him, it’d be harder from him to let Devon go when the time came. It was only fair to keep Aiden oblivious to that particular knowledge.
    Skyler had still been with Aiden when they gathered in the yard, so he gave off one long howl to get his attention. Once Skyler had joined them on instinct Devon looked longingly toward Aiden’s window. To his surprise the young man stood staring back. When Aiden noticed him looking, he stepped out of sight.
    Devon didn’t think anything about Aiden seeing them in wolf form. Most humans didn’t know of werewolves’ existence, so Devon assumed Aiden just thought he saw a pack of wolves. No big deal. They were in the woods after all.
    But when they returned he came out of the woods in human form and saw a dark mass standing in Aiden’s window. He stood there and with his keen eyesight saw the flicker from Aiden’s eyes. Aiden didn’t run in fear, just stood still while looking him over. It wasn’t until he headed toward the house did Aiden
