that, little lamb.” He smirked.
    “Stop calling me that. I see where you’re going with that. I’m neither small nor helpless. If you want to call a woman lamb, maybe you should give the blond a ring-a-ding?”
    “What blond?” He seemed genuinely confused. “Oh, Marchessa? No, I’m done with that liaison.”
    “It must be nice to go through people like Kleenex.”
    “She’s not a person; she’s a viper. She’s got fangs longer than her legs.”
    “Yet you were going to fuck her. Or did.”
    “Did. Past tense, as in not anymore and didn’t today.”
    “You keep telling me that, like it matters to me. I don’t care where you stick your di—” The words died on her tongue when she suddenly found herself face to face with two more damn Woolvens.

Chapter Three
     
    After he’d turned Randi over to Mrs. Westwood, their housekeeper/nanny/resident witch to get her settled, he prepared to face his brothers, Drew and Parker.
    As if on schedule, as soon as he was alone, they cornered him in the large drawing room they’d converted to a general meeting room.
    “Are you insane?” Drew hissed. “That was Randi Rutger.”
    “I know very well who she is.”
    “Have you forgotten,” Parker drawled slowly, “That she’s sworn to ruin our company?”
    “I haven’t forgotten,” Blake said.
    “So you brought her to Aphelion to, what?” Drew growled. “Give her the ammunition? How long do you think we can hide what we are from her?”
    Blake pushed a hand through his hair. “I don’t know. As long as we can. I know what I’m doing.”
    “I beg to differ,” Drew retorted.
    “Beg all you like. Want a Milkbone for your trouble?” Blake replied.
    “Fuck you, Blake. If she finds out, you’ll have to Turn her,” Drew said.
    “I have to Turn her anyway.” He sagged down in the chair.
    “Are you kidding me?” Parker exclaimed, more animated now that he found something in the topic engaging. “Why?”
    “She’s it. The one. My mate,” Blake confessed.
    “Holy shit,” Parker chortled.
    “It’s not funny,” Drew growled. “She could expose our secret, and we wouldn’t be able to stop her. The de la Lunas could attack, and we would be at war .”
    “We’re already at war. Fuck ‘em. Let them come. Maybe it’s time we stopped hiding from the world anyway,” Parker answered.
    “If you’d seen war, as Blake and I have, you wouldn’t be so quick to invite it in,” Drew said.
    “Or maybe my nuts have dropped while you left yours in Westwood’s cauldron.” Parker stood. “Eye of newt, balls of dog?”
    “One of these days, Parker, your snout is going to write a check that your ass can’t cash,” Drew warned him.
    “Listen, all this garbage aside? We need her,” Blake interjected.
    “Why?” Drew asked.
    “Because she’s the only one who can break David’s code. You know what his work means for the project and for the war against the de la Lunas.”
    “Shit.” Drew shook his head.
    “Like you care about the war with the de la Lunas.” Parker rolled his eyes. “Word is that you’ve been fucking Marchessa.”
    Drew’s head whipped around. “Excuse me, what?”
    Blake smirked. “Well, you know, I do have a reputation to live up to.”
    “In the Woolven offices,” Parker added, gleeful.
    “What the fuck, Blake? You know she was trying to get over on you. What if she bugged your office? What if she stole files? What if she—”
    “I assure you, the day Marchessa de la Luna gets the drop on me is the day I neuter myself, okay? She wants to marry me, not win the war. Her pack is going to try to force her to marry the old gray tail still running the Rommulus for an influx of power and cash. She’d do better with me, and she knows it.”
    “They’ve beggared themselves trying to win this fight.” Drew nodded. “But don’t put anything past her.”
    “I know that. I’m the Alpha for a reason.”
    “And I’m your Beta for a reason. I’m here to support and protect you,
