“No one has no scent,” Arion pointed out.

“He’s right,” Talon continued. “Not even humans. Though they do not have anywhere near the capability to scent and trackus, the opposite is not true. If there were humans in the area, we would know.”

“Rival wolf pack?” Brock suggested, though he knew that wasn’t possible.

Owen shook his head. “Not likely for the same reasons. As far as we know, neither of the local wolf packs has developed the ability to block their scent. We’ve sent word to both the Grelians and the Loawens to request a meeting, though. We have had our differences for decades, but we have a treaty with both packs.None of the elders want to jump to conclusions, but if we sense that either pack is fucking with us, we will retaliate.”

Suzette shuddered and burrowed deeper against Brock’s side. He rubbed her thigh again and let his hand slide up to her hip this time. He knew this was distressing to her. It was hard to say if she was reacting to his father’s foul language or the suggestion of retaliation. Probably both. Owen did not need to apologize for his insensitivity to Brock’s mate, however. The man was one of the elders. If he wanted to cuss out loud, he could do so. It wasn’t his problem that Brock had insisted on letting Suzette remain in the room.

“Do you expect them to comply with the request?” Brock asked.

Talon nodded. “We do. Tensions have lessened in the past few months since the Grelians helped us chase those bears off our land. I would expect the Grelians to come without hesitation.”

Suzette tipped her head back to look up at Brock, eyes wide, mouth sucking hard.

He stroked her hip and kissed her forehead. What could he say? There was nothing to say. She’d heard correctly. Yes, there had been two large male black bears in the area. Jezebel had just arrived when the Alpha Protectors had assisted one of the rival packs in chasing the bears out of the area.

“So we wait,” Brock said in frustration as he lifted his gaze to the men. “What are the townsfolk in the valley being told?”

Arion nodded. “That we’re doing our best to track the unknown predator. They are on alert to only go out in groups, and we have several extra Protectors stationed around the perimeter.”

Owen pushed to standing, indicating this meeting was over for now. “I’ve spoken with Suzette’s parents. They understandthe need to postpone the ceremony. I let them know we would keep them informed as this situation changes.”

“Thank you,” Brock stated on behalf of his mate as he rose with the rest of the men, keeping her cradled against his body.

When she squirmed in his arms, indicating she wanted to get down, he slid his outside arm from her hip to her bottom and pressed against the plug without glancing at her.

She stilled in his arms, letting him carry her to the door where he saw everyone out.

Arion turned back. “Jezebel will be eager to meet with you when it’s safe, Little one. Please be patient.”

Suzette turned her head toward him and nodded, probably surprised for him to address her directly.

“Thank you, Arion,” Brock stated before closing the door.

The second they were alone, he slid his hand up her back, rocked her closer against him, and carried her to his bed.

The scent of her growing arousal filled his nose as he lowered her to her back. He immediately pushed her dress over her head and plucked the pacifier from her mouth.

She arched her chest as he leaned over her and kissed both nipples. “I’m so proud of you, Little doll. You were such a good girl while our guests were here.” He trailed a kiss down her tummy while he slid his fingers into the edges of her panties and dragged them off her body.

She moaned. Her eyes were glazed over. “Will you take the plug out now, Daddy?”

He shook his head. “No. You’ll wear the plug while I fuck your sweet pussy. I want you to feel the added pressure. Afterward, I’ll take it out while I feed you a bottle, and then you can nap, but this afternoon, you’ll wear a larger one because it pleases me to see you squirm with your pretty little hole plugged.”

A rush of her scent hit his nose, making him draw it in deep. He was learning more about her with every passing hour. She loved his dirty talk and naughty promises.

Brock backed up just long enough to remove all of his clothes, and then he was over her, dragging her to the center of the bed. His need was overwhelming. His cock had been hard for hours. It wouldn’t wait any longer.

He forced himself to take the time to dip his head and suckle her nipples, one at a time, back and forth until she was writhing. He considered sliding down to suck her clit next, but she was arching upward and gripping his hips hard enough to indicate she didn’t need his foreplay. Not this time.

Brock thrust up into her, burying himself as deep as he could in her tight heat.

Suzette screamed. Her orgasm shook her entire body the moment he was inside her.

He held steady, watching her as she came so beautifully for him. As badly as he wanted to follow her, he wanted to make her come a few more times first. In fact, he wanted to surprise her with another position, so he grabbed her hips and flipped both of them over without dislodging from her pussy.

She gasped as she pushed on his chest and rose to sitting astride him, his cock even deeper in this position. For a moment, she looked startled, but then she arched her body and moaned loud enough for any wolf shifter in a three-mile radius to hear.
