they knew he was their alpha.
    Her face was a mix of emotions. Heat, lust, want, need, anxiety, fear, frustration, and annoyance all warred for position. Her sweet lips pursed in irritation, but all Marc envisioned was them wrapped around his erection as she stared up at him with those bottomless blue eyes. He’d tangle his fingers in the long strands of honey, currently a bit snarled from her nap on the couch, and guide her as she took him deeper and deeper in her mouth.
    “Seriously? You’re slobbering. Get your mind outta the gutter.”
    Marc chuckled. Yeah, he’d been caught, but no way would he apologize. If Colton’s squirming next to him was any indication, his brother was of a similar affliction.
    She rolled her eyes at them both. “So let me get this straight. You two want to share me, and you’re already sharing my house, so do you share each other too?”
    “Um, that is called incest, and I can gauran-damn-tee you that is not happening.” Marc shivered at the mere thought and scooted away from Colton.
    “Incest? Wait, that would make you…cousins?” Her gaze went back and forth between them trying to figure things out.
    Colton answered her. “Brothers.”
    “You look nothing alike. And you don’t have the same last name.”
    “Half-brothers,” Marc clarified. He’d rather be doing anything with her than going over their genealogy, but this did need to be hashed out.
    Colton sat forward, put his elbows on his knees, and loosely clasped his hands together. “Our father had two mates. Women. They each had a son, well, and there are a few other siblings thrown in there too—”
    “How many?”
    “Six.”
    “There are eight of you?” Her jaw dropped open.
    Marc chuckled. “Not of us, but kids, yes. Dad was a randy guy, what can we say? He had five pups with Colton’s mom, Karen, and three with my mom, Darcy.”
    “Okay…that’s not weird.”
    Colton sighed. Marc did too, but he shrugged it off. She didn’t know shifter dynamics yet, so he couldn’t blame her for thinking them weird .
    “Anyway, as the two oldest, we took over alpha status of the pack when Dad was done with politics. That’s all it pretty much is nowadays. Keeping order in the pack, settling squabbles, helping raise and teach the pups our ways. Occasionally it means a fight or two to prove dominance or keep someone in line, but that doesn’t happen too often.” Marc settled back on the couch, crossed his right foot over his opposite knee, and waited for more questions. He didn’t have to wait long.
    Anna bit her lip. “Sooo…if your dad had two women mates…why were you both looking at me like—”
    “Like we wanted, want , to devour you?” Colton slowly got up and stalked deliberately toward her. “Our dad was one man. Alphas mate in threes. He didn’t have a brother to fill a mate third with, so two women were chosen for him.”
    Marc watched Anna swallow, her eyes widening as Colton advanced on her, but Marc gave her credit for holding her ground. “Chosen?” The one word squeaked out.
    “Uh-huh. Chosen. Good ole Mother Fate decides which person, male or female, is best suited for a shifter.” Colton circled Anna’s body, his own touching her in a slight caress. “We know when we’ve found them by their smell.” He paused and leaned in to inhale her essence.
    Marc nearly came in his pants. He didn’t have to be as close to her as Colton to know what his brother likely smelled. Fruity shampoo, her skin laced with a touch of soft perfume, the cream between her legs.
    Marc rearranged himself to ease the ache growing steadily in his balls. If they didn’t have her soon, he feared they’d scare her to death with their over-eagerness.
    Colton continued his revolution around Anna’s stiff body. “If Dad had had a brother, one woman might have been chosen for them to share. Like one has been chosen for us.” He shrugged. “Or not. He might still have been blessed with two women mates.”
    “And
