Page 77 of Mated By the Alphas
“They’ll be fine,” he chuckles. “Let’s stay like this for a while. I like holding you. Besides, it wouldn’t be a very good date if I brought you home early, would it?”
“Not by my best friend’s standards,” I admit. “But it’s been perfect. More than perfect.”
“Maybe on our next one, we’ll actually see the rest of the museum,” he murmurs.
“As long as we end up right here when we’re tired of walking around,” my voice is a croon as I snuggle into Wyatt’s strong body.
I have no doubt that Wyatt is my mate, even if the mating ritual isn’t complete. I am meant to be in his arms, just like I’m meant to be in Hayden’s and Remy’s.
The only question now is if I have four mates… or five.
CHAPTER 27
Ansley
Wyatt and I are hand-in-hand when we walk back into the house.
I immediately notice that it’s quiet. Too quiet, considering the party that was about to kick back off when we left. The lights are still on in the living room, so that draws our attention, but Wyatt pulls me into a tight embrace and kisses me.
His lips reignite the fire that hasn’t completely gone out. I moan into his mouth, clench his shirt in my fists, and melt into him until our lips finally part.
“Do you think Hayden and Remy went out to look for vampires?” I whisper. “Maybe they took her with them?”
“No, they’re here. I can sense them,” he says softly, gesturing to the living room.
We walk to the door and my head snaps back with concern. Hayden and Remy are seated, both still drinking whiskey. Daisyis flat on her back on the couch, head turned to the side, eyes closed, mouth open, an empty glass still clutched close to her chest.
“What did you do to her?” I gasp, rushing to the couch.
“Shh, let her sleep,” Hayden murmurs. “She’s finally quiet.”
“We didn’t do anything to her,” Remy chuckles. “She thought she could go drink-for-drink with us. We told her she was being ridiculous, but she kept fucking with us about it until we had to prove her wrong.”
“She can hold her liquor, I’ll give her that,” Hayden growls. “Hopefully it stays down.”
“I guess she needed it after everything that happened,” I reply. “Can one of you carry her to her bedroom, at least? I don’t want to leave her down here.”
“I’ll handle it,” Remy huffs, standing up.
Despite Remy’s normal roughness, he’s fairly gentle when he picks Daisy up. She doesn’t move at all and looks like a rag doll in his arms. She’s definitely drunk. It’s not the first time she’s gone overboard, but she usually doesn’t drink enough to pass out. Then again, if I know Daisy as well as I do, she probably thought she was going to drink them under the table. Wouldn’t be the first time she did that to a grown man.
“How did your date go?” Hayden asks once Remy leaves the room.
“It went well,” I answer him, feeling my face blush as I glance at Wyatt. “Right?”
“Very well,” he says, grinning at me.
“I can tell he already claimed you,” Hayden seems to sniff the air. “Was there a knot?”
“No,” Wyatt answers. “I started to, but then I could feel it, like you described. Something is still missing.”
“We’ll introduce Storm to our mate tomorrow,” Hayden says. “Then Jaxton, if Storm isn’t the final piece.”
“I want to meet Storm whether he’s my mate or not,” I say. “He used to work for York Financial. He might be able to tell me how to stay in Ms. Frost’s good graces.”
“I don’t think you want his advice about that,” Hayden chuckles. “Unless you plan on fucking her.”
“Wait, he… and Ms. Frost!?” My eyes nearly bulge out of my head. “Seriously?”
