Chapter 26 (Jordan)

Jace is letting these bears get under his skin and they’re enjoying taunting him. They found his b*utton almost instantly and they just keep pushing it. Me.

Except, I’m not playing along. I hadn’t intended to say that I’d be sleeping with Jace, but I was hoping it would let Balor know that I wasn’t interested.

Instead, he caught me in my lie and he made sure that I knew it.

Overall, though, I like the bears. Darryl and Apollo have more restraint than Jusan, but if I’m right, they have some years on him too. I wonder if he’s a younger brother of one of them. I turn, looking at all of them and when I turn back, Balor is looking at me.

“Something on your mind, little wolf?” he asks me.

“Yes, big bear, I was wondering which one of you is Jusan’s big brother,” I say, taking a risk. But the moment I say it, I know I’m right. Balor barks another one of those belly laughs.

“Damn, little wolf. Are all Alphas as smart as you?” he asks me.

“That’s a matter of opinion, I guess,” I say.

“Whose brother do you think he is?” Darryl asks me.

I look at all of them, but now they are being careful not to show any outward signs to clue me in.

“Yours,” I say to Darryl.

“You got some fox in you, little Alpha?”

Apollo asks me, giving me a big bear smile.

“I don’t think so,” I say.

“Do you have any brothers, little wolf?” Balor asks me.
