him to someone that wasn’t Devlin’s other mate also. He looked into Devlin’s denim-colored eyes and placed a hand on each cheek. He answered the most important question first. The rest they could sort out if he could convince Miss McKinnon to stay and talk to them. “Of course we are mates. I love you, and that will never change,” he whispered as he wrapped one hand around Devlin’s neck and pulled him into his mouth. He kissed him gently while whispering against his lips, “I love you, baby. Never doubt that.”
    Devlin pulled away from the kiss and blinked back tears, barely able to whisper, “Why?”
    Chase massaged the back of Devlin’s neck with one hand while he feathered his thumb over Devlin’s lips with the other. “Don’t you know who she is?”
    Devlin shook his head “No, I have never met her. But that doesn’t explain why you smell like her and why she keeps apologizing.” He narrowed his eyes at Chase. “Why is she apologizing anyway? What did you do?”
    Without any hint of remorse, Chase stated matter of factly, “We kissed.”
    Devlin tried to take a step away, but Chase held him tight. “Why would you kiss some stranger when you’re my mate?”
    Chase felt a single tear rolling down his cheek by the time he responded. “Because she’s ours. ”
    It seemed Devlin’s brain took a few moments to catch up with his ears. When it had, Chase was sure he thought he had lost his mind. “What do you mean ours ?”
    Chase wiped his tears away. “She’s ours. Our other mate. Why can’t you sense her like I can?”
    Devlin shook his head. “She can’t be ours, Chase. I would be able to tell.”
    Chase blinked at him again. “But she is. I could sense it the second I smelled her at the school. I know she is, Dev. I just know it. Just give it a chance. Come meet her, and you’ll see it too. Please, Dev. I know she’s ours. ”
    Chase wondered if maybe Devlin wasn’t thinking with a clear head because of everything that had happened. “Okay, Chase. If you say she’s ours, I will believe you. I’m sorry I doubted you. I know you love me and would never do anything to hurt me.” Devlin kissed him before turning away. Devlin used his “alpha” voice to tell her stop. She stopped instantly and slowly turned around to face them. Well, that kind of answered some questions. She was either a member of a pack (though she didn’t smell of wolf), or he was right, and she was their mate. Only a member of a pack or a mate would react so quickly to an order from an alpha. Knowing there was a pack in the area, it could be either, but he was hoping for the latter. Chase knew that now that he met her he wouldn’t be able to let her go, but he couldn’t let her come between him and Devlin either. She had to be their mate. If she wasn’t, he wouldn’t be able to explain why he felt so strongly about her.

Chapter 4
     
    Amalya had seen enough of these men and their drama. While the two men were busy talking to each other about how much they loved one another and being mates, she turned and walked away. She didn’t understand it, but she could feel her heart breaking. She had just met Chase, but he had already been able to make her feel more than any other man had since Gavin had left her. She didn’t know why, but she wanted to stay with him. She was almost to the end of the hall when the other man called out for her to stop. It was as if her feet were suddenly weighed down with cinder blocks. She told them to move, but they were under the man’s control, not hers. Rubbing her arms where they were throbbing, she turned to look at the men. She shook her head and held up her hand. “I’m sorry. I’m just going to leave, and you will never have to see me again. I’m sorry for your loss.” With that, she turned again to leave.
    The man called to her again, and she couldn’t resist his voice. “Come here, sugar, and talk to us for a minute. I think we have some things we need to straighten
