Mated to the Alpha and His Beta

Chapter 287

We’d been pacing outside the bedroom door for an hour already. I was about to go in.
Zane held me back.
“She said she’d be out,” he told me calmly. “Whatever she’s doing in there, it must be important. Let’s give
her a few more minutes.”
“She’s not researching homeschooling,” I shot back at him, pitching my voice low to make sure my mother
didn’t overhear us. “Which means she’s not telling us the truth.”
“She will.” Zane gripped my shoulder and squeezed it. “Trust our Luna.”
My fists clenched. Of course I trusted our Luna with everything I had. But I could still sense her anxiety
and unease and then a burst of exhilaration. All of it was tangling me up inside so much I had to go out to the
front yard and shift to my wolf so I could tear around in circles for a bit.

“Run with me,” Hunter thought to Blade.
Zane stood on the porch, shaking his head. “You go. Mason’s on the way back, and I want to be here for
Hunter had already gained control, but I forced a shift back to my human form.
In all the years that Zane had been my Beta, sure, there’d been times when he’d refused a request, or even an order…if he had good reason. If he thought that I needed something different. And in all that time, I’d have to say he was right about his choices.

But until this moment, I hadn’t realized that sharing him would mean sometimes not having him give me what I wanted so he could give Mason what he needed.
Zane watched me calmly from the front porch. He said nothing.
My anger, disappointment, and irritation whirled around me.

“We love you,” Lanie thought to me. “If you need to run, run. We love you, and we both want to help you, but that doesn’t mean just doing whatever you say because you say so.”
“F uck!” I growled out loud, clenching my fists.
They were right, and I knew it. But d amn, I didn’t like it.
Mason’s truck pulled up the drive and parked. He got out. His expression pretty much matched mine, full of darkness. He basically rippled with the effort of holding back his wolf.
