"Come, Carter, join us. Our Annie here hasn't liked huge parties ever since, so we just gave her an intimate party with only her close friends present. You should join us now because you're her closest and the most intimate," Brady said.
Theo whispered something unintelligible as he took Savannah's white, thick robe from the lounging chair. He was irritated about how Brady referred to her as his Annie. He drew nearer as he whispered, "You're mine, wife; this body is all mine. I don't want anyone looking at what belongs to me," he warned.
Savannah scoffed, but she put the robe on her, and she walked over to the outdoor kitchen and barbeque grill, giving him an exasperated look but saying nothing.
"Let's talk, Carter; you know you owe me," Brady said authoritatively. It's in their nature to instinctively follow the alphas, especially since he's a former royal hunter and Brady was an elder alpha. He groaned. He really owes him because he fucked his ex-wife a long time ago. Theo's gaze was drawn to his wife's movements. When Ethan said something to her, she laughed. Their bodies were closer, and they moved as if they had cooked together many times before.
Theo noticed how modern and luxurious the penthouse was; a regular public servant would not be able to afford such a lifestyle. He was also aware that the Lewis, like the Wrights and Carters, were filthy rich.
"Hey, boy, she's not going to get away from you again. She needed you desperately, despite her stubbornness."
Theo frowned, not understanding him, and turned to look into his eyes. Theo noticed Brady's appearance for the first time. He was much older than him. A few centuries apart, one of the ancient alphas in the north was obese. The last time he saw him, his skin was rough; he had golden teeth and a long beard, and he smelled bad. When he was not at home, his wife fucked every man she could find. Theo was one of the men who took advantage of his absence and stole his valuable necklace. He is still huge, but presentable is more than enough. Brady is not as good-looking as his brother Ethan, but he's not bad either. He's on the warrior appeal side.
"She's getting weaker by the day," he said.
"You gave her the upper hand in the arm wrestling," Theo observed dryly.
"Like I did something to get your man to find her," Brady chuckled. "I have arm wrestled with her since she graduated from her training seven years ago, but today I noticed her weak arms. I don't want to see her in pain; she's had enough of you. She despised her frailty. She hasn't dated anyone since she left you. I want you to fuck her tonight so she can be strong and healthy again," Brady said, much to Theo's surprise.
"What in the world are you trying to tell me? he asked.
"She's your mate, your responsibility. It's time to do your duty. His father was dear to us, so she's important to us. Ethan would die to protect her, but you should be the one to do it. It's your job to protect her. I should hate you now for hurting her, but I can't contest our nature. She's in big trouble now. She needed you to give her the strength she needed to face her enemies. She refused to admit she needed you. You shaped her in that way. She regarded any assistance as a pity. When she was with you, you and your mistress made her feel that way. Her health is declining, Carter."
Theo gave Savannah a sad look. "She'll despise me even more if I mate with her without her consent" He suddenly became worried about her. Alpha Brady knew he would do anything for her.
"Not if she wasn't aware of it," Brady replied.
Theo was shocked, but at the same time, he was tempted. He wanted to take her completely, be his, and mark her. He wanted to own her body, soul, and mind. Looking at her right now, giggling at what Ethan was saying to her, he wanted to smash the man's face.
