Dont be offended if they growl at you. They basically growl at anything that isnt their mate, and even at them sometimes. Oh, Peri clapped her hands, I almost forgot the most important rule of all. Steer clear of the tall, leggy, blonde. She is trouble with a capital PITA. Her mate is Decebel; he is the Alpha of the Serbian pack, and hes deadly when it comes to her. She likes to get him all riled up so if you see her coming, turn and run the other way. Oh, and shes pregnant, so, that basically means if you look at her Decebel will kill you.
This just sounds like its going to be so much fun, Lilly said, cheerily.
Oh, they are a real barrel of laughs, and by laughs I mean make you want to set your hair on fire while pulling your own teeth out.
That good, huh? Cypher smiled. I think Im going to like these wolves.
Lets just get this over with, Peri huffed as she headed in the direction of the mansion.
Chapter 19
When you are young, life seems so big and full of possibilities. Those possibilities seem endless and limitless and you are fearless. As I look into the faces of my mate, my son, and my pack, I see possibilities, all of them endless and limitless, but for the first time in my life, I am fearful of those possibilities. ~ Vasile.
Costin, please come here, Sally asked him for the eighth time. He had been pacing since they had returned to their room, after Peri had told them the Warlock King and the Elf Prince were coming. All of the males were restless, and upon Peris departure, had snapped their mates up, despite their protests and hauled them off to their respective rooms. Sally, Jen, and Jacque had been texting each other, updating one another on the status of their mates and Sally tried to keep from laughing when they had all said the exact same thing.

Jacque txt: holy crap, he didnt even blink
Sally/Jen/Jac all txt: were so screwed
Jen txt: Unfortunately not n a good way
Sally/Jac txt: ROFLMBO
The texting had gone on for nearly forty five minutes when Costin had finally acknowledged her.
What are you laughing about? He asked as he sat down beside her. She could tell he was still keyed up, but he was trying to get it under control for her.
Nothing, Sally told him attempting to look innocent, and failing miserably.
Costin held out his hand. Let me see your phone, Sally mine.
Sally shook her head.
Sally, Costin growled.
I was texting with Jen and Jacque, she tried to sound nonchalant.
Then why cant I see it?
Sally tried to think of something that would keep Costin from really being interested in reading the text. We were talking about Jen giving birth, you know with all the fluids and blood and how her girly bits will look afterward, Sally cringed at her own words because truthfully it was not something that she would have discussed with anyone let alone her mate.
Costins face never changed. He continued to hold his hand out waiting for her to hand over her phone.
Doesnt that gross you out even a little? She asked, perplexed by his non-reaction.
Its a baby, whats gross about that? I wont be grossed out when you are giving birth to our baby.
Uh, yeah, but that will be me, Im talking about Jen.
Costin shrugged. I dont know. All I can think about is what a miracle it is that she is pregnant and how exciting it is for them.
Sally slapped the phone in his hand with a groan. She threw her body back on his bead and dropped her arm over her eye. Of all the men in the world, I would get the one who is not bothered in the slightest by female fluids or girly bits.
Costin laughed. One day, Ill explain it to you.
Please dont, Sally squeaked.
Costin was quiet and she knew that he was reading the texts. She wanted to crawl into a hole, but nothing could be done about it now.
You got naked and I missed it? He asked, as he turned back to look at her.
Sally didnt respond, but could feel her face getting warmer by the second as the blood rushed up. She felt the bed shift as he lay down beside her. He took her arm and gently removed it from her face so that he could look at her, but she kept eyes were closed. Costin laughed.
Look at me Sally.
Sally shook her head again, squeezing her eyes shut even tighter.
Costin leaned forward and she felt his body press against her side. She felt his lips against her ear and the warmth of his breath against her neck as he spoke.
If I had known that all I had to do to get you naked was pace around the room like a rabid dog I would have done it a long time ago, he teased.
Sally tried to push him away as she attempted to roll away from him at the same time.
No, you dont, he teased her as he wrapped an arm around her middle and pulled her to him.
This just sounds like its going to be so much fun, Lilly said, cheerily.
