As I walked down the stairs to where I knew Nate was waiting, I kept debating what to say to my pack- well my old pack, I guess. I knew if I told them about Nate wrongfully marking me that my brother would probably try to kill him. Scratch probably he would try to kill him. Though, I did not want to lie to them because the truth is Nate is not my actual mate, yet he felt like my mate. If they knew the truth, then there was no way they would let me leave and I would never see Carter again.

Carter. I could smell his strong scent instantly as I descended the stairs pulling me from my racing mind. His dark eyes quickly met mine as a small smile stretched his perfect lips. Without thought I leaped into his arms and took in his woodsy smell, never wanting to let go. As I pulled from the hug I leaned on my tippy toes and kissed his lips briefly. I did not care who was in the room or what they thought. Carter was mine and I was going to show it.

'Stop it' my wolf fought me pleadingly. I know she wanted Nate as her mate, but I could not ignore how I felt about Carter, it was inevitable.

'I missed you' Carter spoke huskily through our mind link and making me blush externally and my wolf to grunt with disapproval.

"That's enough" Nate interjected sternly as he stepped around Carter only to glare into his profile, a look of betrayal dominating his features.

"You look beautiful" Carter complimented me ignoring his Alpha's command. My blush deepened as he stroked his fingers against my forearms delicately and examined my face as if wanting to memorize my features.

"Thank you" I whispered peering into his soft gaze that I quickly grew to adore.

'Stop flirting with him' Nate demanded as my gaze flickered to him. His square jaw was rammed shut as he took me in slowly, his stare raking me from bottom to top.

"Well, he is my mate" I stated out loud wanting Carter to know what Nate was secretly saying.

"No, he's not" he growled argumentatively, gripping my wrist, and tugging me away from Carter, past the entryway, and near the door. I know I should not provoke him, but I was not going to deny the facts. Even though I could now feel Nate's emotions due to his claim on me, Carter's feelings were just as strong inside of me. Tossing his hands about Nate urged for my attention. "This is Brett he's my third in command, Chloe's mate and Carter's brother" Nate rambled as he introduced me to a spitting image of Carter minus the fact that he had a bit fairer complexion. The two brothers looked nearly identical though Brett was not as broad nor as tall their features were like a mirror image.

"It's nice to meet you," I told him as he smiled in a friendly manner looking at his brother before setting his sights on me once more. You could tell he was unsure about this entire ordeal like he was not comfortable with what took place yet not knowing what to do about it.

Chuckling he spoke, "You too Jamie" he and Chloe both staring between my two mates. As weird as it is to call them both that, it is exactly what they are.

"Alright, you guys can follow us" Nate instructed as he grasped my hand in his large one, his fingers overlapping as he clutched me and pulled me roughly.

"You're coming?" I asked Carter as I turned my head to gawk at him though he was fixated on my hand in his Alpha's.

Hearing a scoff, I knew Nate did not like my eagerness to be around Carter. "Well, he is my Beta" he purred matter of factly not allowing Carter to speak for himself.
