Verity:
The three of us stood there, staring at one another after Theodore revealed that he had felt the mate bond with me too.
It felt as if the sky had come crashing down on my head.
And it wasn’t as though I hadn’t felt it.
I had.
My wolf had apparently decided that the first words she would say, loud and clear after waking up, were to call them both my mates.
And that wasn’t even the worst part.
She scoffed inside my head, probably because she found the whole situation amusing.
I certainly didn’t.
I stood there watching the brothers stare at me. At this point, there was no hiding what had happened.
They both knew something was wrong.
"Wait. How can she feel a mate bond with you when she just felt one with me? You’re lying."
Apparently, that was how Jaguar had decided to break the painfully awkward silence and continue the argument.
"What do you mean by that? If anyone should feel the mate bond with her, it should be me. And the reason is simple. We’ve been drawn to each other for a long time. There were feelings involved. Emotions."
Theodore’s voice rose as Jaguar stepped right up to him.
"What the fuck are you even talking about? She’s been feeling it with me." He pointed at himself.
Both of them suddenly fell silent.
Then their heads snapped toward me.
"Oh, sorry. I didn’t realize getting close to someone was such a problem," I commented, watching them frown.
"So you’ve been playing with both of us?" Jaguar demanded, gesturing between himself and Theodore.
I gasped, putting on my most offended expression even though the accusation wasn’t entirely wrong.
I had been playing with both of them, but there was no way I was going to admit that.
"Seriously? You wanna go there?" I shot back.
"Yes, we wanna go there," Theodore fired back.
I drew in a deep breath and covered my face with my hands for a moment.
"Then why the hell are you two so close to Gigi? Doesn’t that count as cheating too?"
The second I brought her up, they exchanged a glance before putting some distance between themselves.
"No. I want an answer from both of you. I was constantly asking you to back off from Gigi because it made me uncomfortable, but you both convinced me it was fine. That if nothing was going on, there was nothing to worry about."
My voice rose before I added, "And I wasn’t even official with either of you. What was I supposed to do? Go up to one brother and say, ’Oh, by the way, your brother is hitting on me, and I have no idea why, but my body keeps pulling me toward him’?"
I muttered the last part while keeping my eyes on them. Their fists were clenched tight.
Of course they were angry. I could understand that.
They probably hated me a little right now too.
Still, now that we had felt the mate bond, I could use it to explain why I had gotten involved with both of them.
I could twist the situation in my favor.
