how even his voice sounded. “I’m mated now, and you no longer

have the right to discipline me in any way, shape, or form.”

Dane stared for a moment, then seemed to regain his composure.

“You dare speak to me this way? Have you forgotten everything

you’ve ever been taught?”

“I haven’t forgotten a damn thing, Dane,” Audley snapped. “Not

the times you hung me from the ceiling for hours on end, not the

whippings or beatings, nothing. I remember every little thing you ever

did to me.” Audley took a step toward his brother. “And I’m not

going to take it anymore.”

Audley winced and dropped to one knee when Dane backhanded

him again. He cradled his aching cheek for a moment and took a deep

breath, wishing one of his mates were here. As he reached up to push

his hair from his eyes, he suddenly remembered the whip he held in

his other hand.

He stood to his feet again and glared at Dane. He gripped the

handle of the whip, holding it close to his side. “I told you that you

don’t have the right to punish me anymore, Dane. Are you so stupid

that you don’t understand my words?”

Audley swung the whip at his brother, using all of the strength in

his arm. The leather strips wrapped around Dane’s body. Audley

knew the moment the metal shards connected with Dane’s back as

well. The man arched forward, crying out in pain.

Audley yanked back on the whip, knowing from experience that

the metal would dig deep and leave painful gashes in Dane’s flesh. He

swung again and again, losing track of anything but the agonized cries

from his brother.

He snarled and bared his fangs when the whip was suddenly

ripped out of his hand. Intending to bite into whoever took the item,

he turned, stopping suddenly when he found Ben standing before him.

Considering the larger and hairier version of Ben he’d seen in the

other room, Audley was a little surprised to see Ben back in human

form.

“He’s dead, baby,” Ben said gently. “You can stop now.”

Tilting his head back, he stared at Ben in confusion. “Dead?”

“Yes, baby. Dane and Oliver are both gone. They can’t hurt you

again.”

“But—” Audley turned around and stared down at the bloody

body at his feet. Dane really was dead. There was no way anyone—

even a vampire—could live with the amount of blood covering

Dane’s body.

Audley stared at the deep gashes, broken bones, and blood

dripping onto the floor in horror. He did this. He took someone else’s

life—his brother’s at that. Nausea welled up inside of Audley. He

covered his mouth and ran to the corner of the room. Falling to his

knees, Audley lost the contents of his stomach, which, admittedly,

wasn’t much.

As he wiped his hand across his mouth, Audley felt a hand smooth

the hair back from his forehead. He turned to see Stefan squatting

down beside him. Another larger body pressed up against his back.

“How are you feeling?” Stefan asked.

“I killed Dane.”

“I think he kind of deserved it, Audley,” Stefan said softly. “He

certainly wasn’t going to let you out of here, and who knows what he

had planned for Nate. You probably saved Nate’s life.”

Audley shook his head. “Joe was waking up. He would have

saved Nate.”

“Joe can’t even stand up,” said a voice from across the room.

Audley glanced over to see Nate kneeling on the floor next to Joe,

who had his head cradled in his hands. “If he moves too much, his

head might explode.”

Joe apparently had enough strength to lift his head and glare at

Nate. Audley couldn’t help but smile when the glare sent Nate into

peals of laughter. Still, he was glad to see the grin on Joe’s face right

before he made a grab for Nate, kissing him.

“What about Devlin?” Audley asked as he continued looking

around the room. “Is he okay?”

“My mate is fine, Audley,” Prince Zacarius said from several feet

away where he held Devlin’s head in his lap. Devlin, too, was back in

human form. “I do thank you for ensuring that he returned to me,

although I would have appreciated a little less wear and tear on his

body.”

“Sorry,” Audley replied.

“I do not hold you at fault, Audley,” the prince said. “Devlin did

this all on his own. He was aching for a good fight and he found one.

Didn’t you, my love?”

Audley snickered when Devlin rolled his eyes. He looked back to

Stefan and Ben. “What about you two?” he asked. “Are you okay? I

thought you were going to go back to the prince’s estate where a

doctor could look at you. I thought you were dying, Ben.”

“Do you really think I would leave you here alone, Audley?” Ben

asked. “I’m not safe until you and Stefan are safe, remember? We’re

bonded. I can’t live without the two of you.” He grinned, which

surprised Audley considering the condition he’d last seen his mate in.

“Besides, it’s the full moon mating tonight. Werewolves have been

known to chew through steel to get to their mates on the full moon.

Do you really think a few bullet holes are going to keep me from you

and Stefan?”

Audley frowned as he looked over Ben’s body. The wounds on

his chest and shoulders seemed to be healing, but they were still pink

and puckered. They looked painful. “Are you really in any condition

to be thinking about sex right now? Shouldn’t you be in bed or

something?”

Ben’s golden eyes held a sensuous glint in them as he grinned

again. “I like the way you think, mate, but at this point, I’d settle for a

flat surface.”

“Ben!” Audley exclaimed.

“Audley, it’s the full moon,” Ben said. “Not mating you and

Stefan tonight will hurt far worse than a silver bullet.”

“You need bed rest.”

“The only thing I need is you and Stefan.”

Audley frowned. He was trying to understand this full moon

mating thing, but the injuries to his mate seemed to overshadow

everything. Audley could only think of getting Ben into bed where he

could heal, not have sex. However…

“Fine, but I refuse to be claimed in this house,” Audley said.

“Take me back to the prince’s estate.” Anything to get Ben in bed

where he could rest.

Audley was a little astonished at the strength Ben displayed as he

was pulled to his feet. Maybe Ben was healing faster than Audley

thought. That didn’t mean Audley wasn’t still worried, though. He

wouldn’t be satisfied until the pink flesh on Ben’s chest healed all the

way.

“Let’s find something to cover you up with first,” Ben said. “I’d

prefer that only Stefan and I see you as you are.”

“Ben, everyone in the room has seen me naked by now.”

“I know,” Ben growled.

Audley rolled his eyes and went in search of his clothing. They

were in tatters, but they’d cover him until he could find something

else to wear.

The trip up the stairs took more time than Audley would have

liked. He wanted out of Dane’s house as fast as he could go. He may

have grown up here but he hated every brick of the place. It didn’t

hold anything but bad memories for him. If he had his way, the place

would be torn down, never to be built again. Maybe turned into a park

or something.

The small group limping out of the house was met by a group of

vampire soldiers. Audley vaguely remembered Prince Zacarius saying

he had sent for his people. The only thing that Audley got out of that

information was the two large black SUVs sitting in front of the

house, doors open.

Audley quickly helped Stefan and Ben inside. The moment the

doors closed, the driver started the vehicle and drove them back to the

coven estate. Audley didn’t start breathing normally until they pulled

in the gates. His relief felt like a physical weight lifted off of his

chest. They were finally safe.

Albert met them at the door. More people gathered around to help

them all upstairs to the blue room once again. The quick way Ben

walked into the room and shut the door behind the three of them,

stripping his clothes off, made Audley’s worry for the man skyrocket

until he saw him start to shift again.

Right before Audley’s eyes, Ben grew bigger. His face elongated

slightly, pointed ears grew out of the top of his head, and fur covered

his entire body. What shocked Audley the most was the large cock

that jutted out from Ben’s groin. He thought Ben was large before. He

was wrong. Now, Ben was huge.

Audley started shaking his head when Ben turned in his direction

and sniffed the air, a low growl coming from the man’s furry chest.

“Mine!”

“Shit!” Audley croaked out.

“I told you that butt plug would come in handy.” Stefan snickered

next to him as he started undressing. Stefan paused, arching an

eyebrow at Audley. “You might want to get naked and find the lube.

We’re going to need it.”

“He needs a doctor,” Audley said as he pointed to Ben.

“He needs us,” Stefan replied.

“Stef—” Audley’s words dwindled away when Ben stalked over

and started sniffing his neck. Large clawed hands grabbed his hips. A

long, rough tongue scraped up the side of Audley’s neck, making him

shiver in response.

“Mine,” Ben growled again.

Audley couldn’t help leaning into the strong body behind him.

Even covered in fur, Ben felt wonderful against his backside. When

Ben’s tongue started licking over his skin again, Audley titled his

head to one side. He knew he should insist that Ben see a doctor but it

just felt so good when Ben touched him.

“Ben, what—” Audley started to asked when one sharp claw

began to shred what was left of his clothing. In a matter of moments,

Audley was naked, his ripped and torn clothing in a pile at his feet.

Another moment later and Stefan’s naked body pressed against his

front, sandwiching Audley between his mates.

Audley wanted to protest, really he did, but being pressed between

the naked bodies of his mates, knowing that they had all survived

their run in with Dane and Oliver, made any words he might have

spoken dwindle away to be replaced by a deep moan.

“Come on, baby,” Stefan said as he grabbed Audley’s hand and

started pulling him toward the bed. “We need to get ourselves

stretched out before Ben can claim us.”

Audley stumbled to the bed, glancing over his shoulder at Ben.

“But what about Ben?”

“He gets to watch.” Stefan chuckled. “I don’t imagine he’ll be

able to last too long. Maybe we should make it a contest, huh? See

how long Ben can last before he loses control and attacks us?”

“He’s going to attack us?” Audley squeaked as Stefan pushed him

down on the bed.

“Only in a good way, love.”

Audley turned to look at Ben again. His eyes nearly bugged out of

his head when he found Ben standing at the end of the bed, his golden

eyes watching him and Stefan intently. He had his cock in his hand

and was stroking it slowly, baring his teeth and growling softly.

“Mine!”

“Does he ever say anything other than that?”

“Not really,” Stefan said. “At least not until he’s shifted back.”

“And when does that happen?”

“Only after he’s claimed us.”

Audley inhaled sharply, his eyes darting back to Stefan when he

felt two lubed fingers press into his ass. He expected one to start off

with, not two. Stefan chuckled.

“Sorry, love, we don’t have time to go slow. Our wolf isn’t going

to wait long before he’s on us. The quicker we do this, the quicker he

gets us.”

Audley rolled his eyes and held out his hand. “Fine, give me the

lube and swing your ass around here. I can get you ready while you

get me ready.”

“I do like the way you think, baby.” Stefan grinned and slapped

the bottle of lube into Audley’s hand.

Audley flipped open the lid and squirted some lube out on his

fingers. By the time he had the bottle closed Stefan had swung

around, straddling Audley’s head. Audley was a little unsure of what

to do. Not that he didn’t know how to stretch Stefan after all this time,

but the man’s hard cock hung right in front of his face. Audley felt a

deep need to suck the man’s cock.

Deciding to go with his urges, Audley opened his mouth and

swallowed Stefan’s cock at the same time he pushed two fingers into

the man’s ass. Stefan shuddered, a long, lust-filled moan coming from

him. Audley sucked harder, the sound of his mate arousing him

152

quickly to a fever pitch. It didn’t hurt that Stefan added another finger

to his ass, shoving all three inside.

The sound of Ben’s growls grew louder. Audley could see him

just out of the corner of his eye. The strokes to Ben’s cock were

getting quicker, the man’s furry chest moving faster. Audley was

pretty sure he and Stefan had just a few moments more before Ben
