Page 98 of His True Mate

I stared at him in horror. “How the hell do you think we got into this situation?”

I turned and ran shifting back to my fur in midair.

I didn’t stop to see if they were following. I already knew they were.

They always had my back and always would. We were the Six Pack, that’s what we did. It’s what kept our bond of brotherhood strong.

Knowing they had my back meant everything to me, but right now, I just needed to get back to my girl as fast as possible, and I was ready to grovel at her feet if that’s what it took to keep her here.

Chapter 22

The gang all showed up for me just as Ruby had said they would. It was so amazing to me how much they all wanted to help in some way.

“I’m really sorry that we encouraged you to go after him last night. We just got carried away in the excitement of it,” Peyton said.

“Yeah. We all know Clay well enough to know that he wouldn’t take advantage of you in that condition,” Kate said.

“I mean, in our defense, I don’t think any of us realized we were as drunk as we were,” Lily said,

“Oh, we were well aware,” Syd admitted. “We were just past the point of caring. I don’t mean caring about you…”

I nodded. “I know what you meant, Sydney.”

“So things really went this badly?” Clara asked. “I know I don’t know Clay as well as the rest of you, but I never imagined him to be violent.”

“He’s not a violent man,” I argued.

“Girl, he literally tore the door off his hinges,” Ruby pointed out.

I sighed. “But not out of anger. He was just freaked out thinking something bad happened to me. That was panic not anger.”

Lily sighed. “That’s kind of romantic.”

“Lily!” Sydney warned, rolling her eyes.

“What? I’m serious. To have him so worked up and frustrated that he turns into Hulk trying to rescue you? That’s the stuff fantasies are made of. I wonder if I could get Thomas that worked up. Can you even imagine the after-sex of that much pent-up frustration?”

“Gross,” Ruby complained.

“Baby brother, Lil. Keep your thoughts to yourself,” Clara reminded her.

Peyton shrugged. “I get what you’re saying. I’ve driven Oliver to that state before, even on purpose. The after-sex is amazing.”

“Peyton!” Clara squealed.

“Oh whatever. You know exactly what you were doing to Gage when you two were mating. He was just as bad as Clay.”

Clara frowned. “No, he wasn’t.”

“That boy couldn’t stay away from you, or off of you,” Ruby agreed.

Clara seemed like the quieter of the sisters, but there was no embarrassment whatsoever when she shrugged and said, “Still can’t.”

We all dissolved into laughter.

I sobered quickly as I felt Clay’s presence.
