look while his camzah reached up and buttoned his top button.
    “No worries.”
    James exhaled and tried not to fidget while the brother got started on his tie. Oh, God. He was so close. He wanted so badly to look into the male’s eyes. But what if they weren’t glowing? What if they were? He couldn’t make up his mind which would be worse. Maybe it was all just bullshit. After all, they’d been glowing for him about ten seconds after another male had put his mouth all over Pax’s abs. Fuck. He couldn’t keep that image out of his head no matter how much he tried. Now here he was with Pax right within punching distance, but instead he was getting hard. Confusing much?
    “Almost done,” he heard Pax say through the blood pounding in his ears.
    Between being pissed off and turned on, he was already having issues with oxygen. Pax tightening his tie wasn’t a big help.
    Diesel walked in. “Well, if it isn’t the male of the hour. You’re a smoke show, dude.”
    He slipped into his white robe. “Thanks.”
    Pax picked up the red belt and began to tie it around James’s waist. If the male got any closer to that erection, things were going to get very embarrassing, very quickly.
    “All set,” Pax said. “Are you nervous?”
    “A little.”
    “Remember, just let Reyn guide you through it.”
    “Right. Got it.”
    Diesel checked his watch. “Looks like we’re about to go live, my brothers.”
    James looked from one to the other and nodded. “Okay. Let’s do this.”

CHAPTER FIVE
    James watched Pax as he took a quick gander into the drawing room then turned back to him.
    “They’re good to go. Ready?”
    James focused straight ahead and stepped onto the red runner that went the length of the huge room. “Let’s just get this over with.”
    The brothers stood to each side in their robes with their heads bowed reverently. The table normally sitting in the center of the room had been removed, making the walk seem even longer. The biggest pillar candles he’d ever seen easily cast enough light as they wound their way around the room. The rich smell of the copal incense burning on the altar mixed with the heady scent of fresh flowers draped everywhere.
    He looked ahead and focused on Reyn who stood to the right of the Goddess while Evy stood to her left. Their leader nodded to first him, and then to Pax, as they stopped in front of him.
    Reyn placed his fist over his heart. “ In lak'ech .”
    “ Ala k'in ,” everyone responded in chorus as they returned his gesture.
    The Goddess Akina smiled. “Tonight we are here to initiate James into the Order. James holds a special place in our family. When he was captured by Toltec, his destiny became unclear even to me. But the scales tipped in our favor when Ana and Pax found him before he could be transformed into the Unthinkable.” She nodded toward Pax.
    Every detail of his situation when he was kidnapped came back to him, but this time with the details in place. The horror of the cell. The cries and screams of the other shifters as they changed to hellions . Suddenly, all that lovey dovey shit he’d been worrying about with Pax no longer mattered. Only the brother’s example. He had to find Seth and make things right. It was the only thing that mattered.
    Reyn’s voice brought him back to the ceremony. “We wear our white robes to symbolize the purity of our intentions. The red cords represent the rebirth he has undertaken. The pillar candles represent the cardinal points to guide him on his journey. Please take a moment of silence to call on your naguals. Ask them to bless this induction and to protect this warrior.”
    Their leader raised his head. “Who sponsors this male?”
    “I do,” Pax said.
    James locked onto his camzah’s voice. He wasn’t sure exactly what he expected, but the steadiness of Pax’s acknowledgment caused him to turn his head and look into the brother’s eyes. They were glowing their bright amber and the male wasn’t hiding
