Graham nods thoughtfully.
“That's a possibility.”
I elbow him lightly in the ribs.
“Graham.”
He looks down at me with complete seriousness.
“Yes?”
“You can let me breathe now.”
“No.”
“Graham.”
“I almost lost you.”
His teasing expression softens.
“I'm going to need at least another minute.”
I smile up at him.
“I suppose I can allow that.”
Marcus lets out a long-suffering sigh.
“I remember when Daniel and his mate were like this.”
Daniel immediately points toward the Alpha.
“You were worse.”
“I was not.”
Rafe Maccon laughs outright.
“You absolutely were.”
For the first time since waking up, the room doesn't feel filled with strangers.
It feels...
Warm.
Like a family teasing one another around a dinner table.
And somehow...
Without ever expecting it...
I'd just become part of it.
Eighteen
