Lana woke us a few hours later Briar and I were curled close together and she

groaned at the knock on the door. My body protested as Briar stirred and pulled

away, however her skin still touched mine beneath the blankets.

“Pizza is here!” Lana announced and opened the door. Mazzie followed her in with

several boxes as Briar sat up pulling the covers up to her chest. This was going to

be awkward. Lana took a box from Mazzie and plopped down at the foot of the bed

as Briar helped me sit up. Mazzie passed us each a pie and took her place in the

chair next to Briar’s side of the bed with her own box. The smell had me salivating

before Briar flipped back the lid for me before doing the same to her own.

We both matched Lana as we began downing our food.

“Slow down, you two or you will make yourselves sick,” Mazzie warned before

leisurely taking a bite of her pizza. She was right but I was ravenous. Days without

eating was making me borderline delirious and when I glanced over at Briar I

realized one of us might be feeding off the other but I wasn’t sure which one. She

had shifted for the first time, and I had no idea when she ate last and…she was

pregnant, I let that sink in, she had risked herself and the baby to save me. I was

never letting that happen again. Alpha or not Briar was my mate and I would

protect her. I offered her the remainder of my slice to try and she passed me hers. I

smiled though my exhaustion was heavy.

“So what are we doing about Clyde?” Mazzie asked, between mouthfuls.

“Nothing for now, let him think we don’t know he tried to get rid of Carter

alongside me. I want to see how he plays this,” Briar said, unbothered before

picking up another and looping the cheese that stretched on her finger.

“Why?” Lana asked the question we all wanted to know.

Briar held her finger up as she chased her next bite and swallowed.

“Because Carter needs time to heal, and we need time to get to the bottom of the

things Jake found out,” she said.
