We break through the line of the forest panting heavily. The rest of the team left for dust with the prisoners we had taken.

Even with the house in the distance, we can smell her. Intoxicating in its intensity. Filling our exhausted bodies with renewed vitality in every breath.

Darius growls, his eyes narrow and glowing with anger. I follow his line of sight and snarl at the growing number of men gathered around our house. Her scent is like a siren's call to the unmated wolves.

This shouldn't be happening, she's been claimed fully by three of us he grits out through the link. Her heat should only call to us.

Dev, Ly, and Luka haven't mated her yet and she has others out there still. I grumble, eyeing up the hopeful morons pacing on the doorstep. Fuck! Let's deal with this lot, so we can go help our girl.

I take off towards them, Darius hard on my heels. Our wolf forms bulldoze a path to the door of the house, snapping teeth at any limbs that get in our way.

Darius transforms mid-stride, spinning on his heel and punching a large dark-haired man and laying him out cold with his right hook.

"Unless you wish to challenge me for Alpha and my already claimed mate, I suggest you all fuck off!" Darius roars. Necks are bared in submission, bar a few that I realize are dragon and Lycan.
Not good.

Darius's eyes glaze as he calls for mated warriors to protect the house and sends another link to Dev and Garret to do the same. Darius's Beta - Max, pulls up in a car and jumps out.

"I got this." He says, cracking his knuckles and shooing us away. "The others are on their way." Then he gets a whiff, his pupils grow large, and his body trembles. "Holy fuck!"

"Max," Darius warns.

"Shit sorry D. I've been around other heats without it affecting me. But fuck, sorry man, I gotta go."

I look at Darius questioningly as Max jumps back in the car and takes off.

"His mate passed away about five years back. He's guarded and helped other she-wolves get to their mates without flinching. That was weird."

So we stand guard watching and growling until some of the mated men arrive. After checking they are unaffected, Darius opens the door and locks it behind me and I transform, shaking the adrenaline from my body. I'm quick to grab water bottles from the fridge, tossing one to D and gulping my own down.

"That was strange with Max," I say.

"Eve's not exactly normal, she seems to operate outside the rules. Do you know what to expect when we get in there?" He asks me, tossing his now empty bottle in the recycle bin. I shake my head, tossing my bottle.

"When she's awake, her scent will call you even more. Your base instincts will awake and you will want to fuck yourself stupid. At first, it will be a frenzy, any hole will do and sometimes if you are dragged under enough and someone smells like her enough, they will do too." My brows raise in surprise.
