Screw My Childhood Sweetheart His Alpha Brother Marked Me First novel Chapter 111

Chapter 111

Vaughn scowled in my direction. It was weirdly comforting, that little piece of normal amidst all the crazy swirling around us.

Mason pulled open one of the back doors and we all filed into the lodge. Coby hurried into the room. “I just heard. What do you need?” There was no glare in my direction, but a simple desire to help. I guessed as much as Coby disliked me, we were united against the council.

Mason moved to the front of the group. “I already have people preparing the guest cabins for their arrival. Now, we greet our

guests.”

Coby nodded in assent, reading everything Mason needed to communicate between the lines. She glanced in my direction. “Look at the nose instead of the eyes. It will keep them from intimidating you or tripping you up.”

My mouth went slack at her actual helpfulness. I quickly shut it. “Thank you.”

She didn’t reply, simply turned around and faced the front doors. I stood behind her and Mason, flanked by Knox and Caspian on one side and Vaughn, Anson, and River on the other. As I surveyed the guys around me, my nerves ratcheted up a level. I would do anything for any of them, and I knew they would do the same for me. I just hoped it wouldn’t come to that.

The front doors swung open, two familiar wolves holding them.

A man I didn’t recognize stepped forward, flanked by two massive shifters that had to be his guards. He had salt–and–pepper woven through his hair and golden, tanned skin. He had to be at least six–foot–five, and his stature was only intensified by the sharkish grin stretching his face. “Mason. This is quite the welcome. We had no less than a dozen wolves escorting us, and I suspect more holding back in the woods.”

The man clearly got a thrill from Mason viewing him as a threat. My dislike of him was instant, as if I’d tasted something foul.

Mason inclined his head the barest amount. “It’s not every day that the Quad graces us with its presence, Gregor.”

“I guess that’s true enough.” He extended a hand to Mason.

Mason did exactly what he’d instructed me to do a quick shake and then a release of the hold.

A woman stepped forward next, two more guards trailing behind her, their eyes darting about the room. I never would’ve thought “shifter” when looking at her. She was clad in a figure–hugging dress and sky–high heels. She looked around the room, scrunching up her nose. “How rustic.”

Another man stepped forward with gray at his temples and a mischievous smile on his face. “Now, Cinna, not everyone prefers the concrete jungle.” His three guards held a tight formation at his back.

She huffed. “There’s nothing like running in Central Park under a full moon.”

“I’ll just have to take your word for it.” The man extended his hand. “Good to see you, Mason. Thanks for having us.”

Mason accepted the quick shake and dipped his head. “Kaleb. We would’ve been more prepared if we’d had some warning.”

If you’re a true alpha, you shouldn’t need warning. You should always he prepared. The fourth sunt fusal member of thờ Quad stepped into the lodge, leaning on a cane. His pure white hair caught the light as he turned to glare i Mason’s direction

The movement Mason made with his head was deeper this time, more reverent “Ivan

Ivan didn’t bother with a handshake, he simply moved in my direction. “You” His eyes narrowed as he scanned thy face, “What are you hiding?”

1 stiffened,my hands going damp. The guys moved in closet, and Ivan didn’t miss the action. He raised a single brow. “I asked you a question, young lady.”

I swallowed hard, using Coby’s tip to look at his nose instead of his eyes. “I’m not hiding anything that I know of.”

Ivan let out a harumph. “We’ll see about that.”

He extended a hand to me. I stared at it for a moment before slipping mine into his. Ivan’s eyes flared as he held on. I hurried to pull my hand back as he studied me with a thoughtful expression. “Very interesting.”

His reaction had the woman stepping forward, extending her perfectly manicured hand. “I’m Cinna.”

“Senna,” I said with a small dip

of

my head.

Her shake wasn’t long, but there was a wariness in her expression as she released me. She glanced at Ivan. “There must be an explanation.”

Kaleb moved forward next. “Nice to meet you, Senna. I’m Kaleb.” His expression was neither warm nor cold, but there was an assessing quality that had me fighting not to squirm.

“You too.” I reluctantly extended my hand.

Kaleb took it, his jaw going slack for a moment. He quickly covered it, releasing my hand and stepping back. “I’ll be damned.”

“What the hell is all the fuss about?” Gregor asked as he strode towards me.

There was something about the way he moved, the hardness in his stare, that had me taking a step back. Vaughn’s hand found my lower back. “We’re here,” he whispered.

Gregor’s eyes narrowed on Vaughn. “Remove your hand so I can get a clear read.”
