edge.
    That
hard clench and release of her inner muscles sucked the seed right from his
balls as he tossed his head back and gave her everything that he had.
    He was
more than aware of keeping his weight from her swollen belly, even in the half
mind that he was in. Propped up on his elbows above her as his muscles
protested his weight.
    “Thank
you baby, I feel so much better…” She mewed and as he lifted his head she gave
him a devilish smile.
    He
eased his softening length from inside of her and froze at the sight of the blood
on his cock. His beast roared within him at the scent. His heart leapt into his
mouth.
    “Fuck,
Alex. I’ve hurt the cub.” He growled.

CHAPTER FOUR
     
     
     
    Marcus
paced back and forth in the waiting room like a bear with a sore head. He could
have ripped his alpha’s head from his damn body when Jackson had come running
out of the cabin with Alex in his arms panicking like all hell and saying he’d
killed their cub.
    On the
drive to the local doctor’s office as Alex lay in Jackson’s arms in the back of
Marcus’s truck; the whole story had come out, and now he just wanted to kill
anyone that got in his damn way.
    He
couldn’t fault the man for what came naturally, and accidents happened no
matter how damn careful you were to control the beast… but the cub… Shit-
Jackson would never forgive himself if something happened to it.
    It was
a clan affair. Everyone had climbed into their vehicles and sped after them.
    Now
they were all crowded into the small waiting area, and you could have heard a
damn pin drop in the silence of that room. Every time the phone screamed out,
every male growled in unison, and he felt sorry for the tiny receptionist
behind the counter as she tried her damnedest to snatch it up fast.
    “Hey…”
Jackson’s deep voice made every head turn in his direction. He noted the way
that Marcus had his hands fisted at his sides. “Relax, big man. She’s ok…”
Jackson assured him.
    “And
the cub?” Marcus demanded on a breath of relief. Jackson nodded.
    “The
doctor said the cub’s doing fine. It’s not abnormal for a woman to bleed in
pregnancy after sex, but we should…” He rolled his head on his neck and
shrugged his shoulders.
    “Be
more damn careful.” Marcus growled at him.
    “Yeah.”
Jackson felt like shit. He never should have given into his mate over this. Now
look where it had ended.
    “You
wanna go ten rounds with something man, do it with your damn hand…” Marcus
growled again. He saw Jackson’s body tighten and heard the warning growl that
rolled through his chest, but the alpha let it slide. He knew how protective
they all were of Alex and the mates.
    “No
fighting in here.” The clipped tones of the woman’s voice did something to
Marcus that he couldn’t explain. His bear calmed within him, and when his head
snapped around at that familiar voice; his eyes took her in.
    “I wasn’t
going to…” Marcus rushed to explain, but she raised her eyebrows at him and he
deflated. “Sorry.” He growled.
    “You
two know each other?” Jackson looked slightly amused, even with the tension
that was eating him up inside.
    Marcus
opened his mouth to speak and then shrugged his shoulders. It wasn’t his place
to say.
    “Marcus
was good enough to help me out last night when my car broke down.” Janice said
and Marcus felt a sense of pride that she would own up to knowing him like
that. Her being a doctor and all. They didn’t need to know the rest.
    “So no
sex?” Marcus wanted to change the subject but the way her head snapped up and
her eyes took him in; he thought he might just have screwed up.
    “Excuse
me?” She swallowed hard. Wondered if she’d stared at him a little too long.
    He’d
been all that she had thought about since he’d left her house that morning. Had
she given something away?
    “Jackson
and Alex. Should refrain…?” Marcus liked the way the colour touched her cheeks
and her eyes widened. He’d like
