Mated to the Alpha and His Beta

Chapter 284

Lanie

When the rush of adrenaline flooded me, I immediately sensed my mates’ attention.

At once, I closed down my entire body with everything I had.

I focused hard, shielding, blocking, whatever I could. I did not want any of my mates feeling the exhilaration and terror rushing through me. The two here at home would rush in, breaking down the door if they had to. And Mason would probably drive so fast to get home he’d risk wrecking his car.

And…I didn’t need any of them. My pounding heart and panting breaths were fear, sure, but I wasn’t in any real danger. Plus, I wanted to handle this on my own first, the best I could.

“Love?” Zane’s voice drifted to me through the veil I’d hung between all of us.

“Lanie, I’m coming in,” Xander thought to me.

“No, my loves, I’m fine. I promise you, I need some more time alone. Don’t come in.”

I sighed but also laughed softly. I thought back, “I need at least an hour.”

“Fine.”
