Then it was because of her weight, and she never had a boyfriend. She just never seemed to fit, she used to say the only time she did was when she was with me. Now I know why.”

“She needs to process all this, she needs her mates. I think once she knows you are a part of her, and will not leave her; she will be able to deal with all this shit. I suggest we leave you alone, and you work your wolf magic on her, and tomorrow we see where the dust settles.” Jo said and stood up and stretched. “Besides, I am starving and I need a good steak. Reggie, you come with us and fill us in on what we need to know. I think it would be best if Quin handles the parents alone.”

Agreeing, they all stood up and went to the door. Reggie paused and said to Devon, “Will you tell her I love her?”

Devon nodded and closed the door and leaned his forehead against it for a brief moment to make sure he was in control of his wolf. Since this whole thing started, it had been clawing at him to take his mate and run as far away as he could. He wanted her safe, but he did not want to scare her. She was a bitty thing, and he was anything but small.

He opened the door and looked in at his sleeping mate. She was a beautiful sight, and he hated to wake her up, but he needed to do this for her. Reassure her that she would never be alone again, and he would always be on her side. He needed to make her his mate forever, and then find their other mate.

Devon heard a soft knock on the door, and he opened it a little to see who was interrupting them.

Mike stood in the doorway looking unsure and restless.

“Mike, I am a little busy. Alpha Quin and Jaden are here as well as Tey; if you need anything go to them.” Devon growled.

“Dude, I know. I just talked to them. I will tell you the same thing I told them, we have a little bit of a situation. While you were in with Reggie and Casey, some really big wolf came in and demanded that I allow him to find his mate. He said he smelled her through the door, I did not know what to do, and so I put him in a room to wait. He is getting pissed, and I am not sure I can handle him much longer.” Mike said and looked at him nervously.

“Stand guard over Casey in the living room until I return.” Devon said briskly. The Enforcer nodded and went into the room as he left.

Devon quickly went to the other conference room they reserved earlier when it became clear they were going to need it. This had been a cluster fuck of magnitude proportions, and he was starting to feel like he was in over his head. Finally reaching the door, he took a deep breath before opening it. Thank goodness, he had because what he saw stole his next breath.

Across the room, looking out the window was a perfectly sculpted backside. He had long blonde hair braided down his back. He stood the same height as Devon, which was a surprise, but when the man turned, and he could see the gorgeous features on the man’s face. Devon had dabbled in bi-sexuality, but he had never felt the instant pull to someone like he did for this man.

Strong cheek bones, deep blue eyes, and full lips made this man almost irresistible. Devon almost laughed when the man sniffed the air around them and then frowned. He was probably trying to figure out what the hell was happening.

“I am Devon.” He said and stepped forward with his hand out stretched.

“Uh, Sidney, Sid for short, I am sorry. I am a little confused.” The other man said in a deep voice. Devon closed his eyes briefly and savored the way it rolled over him. Good God this man was sex on a stick.

“Yeah, I am sure you are. Let me guess. You smelled your mate and her scent led you here, and then you just smelled me, and I smelled like your mate too.” Devon said smiling.

“That about sums it up.” Sid nodded and unconsciously moved a little closer.

“This is going to take awhile to explain. Unfortunately, you have stumbled into a huge mess I have going on. Right now, our mate is upstairs, and she is resting.” Devon started and reached out to pull the man to the chairs that were in the corner.

“Why? What’s wrong with her?” Sid growled.

Devon explained the whole situation to the man who was going to be their mate. He did not pull any punches and told him the worst of it. Sid interrupted a few times asking questions and swearing at the way his mate had been treated in the last few hours.

“So let me sum it up. Our mate is one of the Chosen One's? She just found out about having a twin brother who grew up as her best friend, her real parents are assholes, and the man who raised her lied to her for her whole life?” Sid said and looked at Devon with an astonished look on his face. “This is FUCKIN’ worse than a soap opera!”

“Yeah, well you should have been there. It was like watching a train wreck and not being able to look away at the most gruesome parts.” Devon said and ran his hand over his face. He was just tired of all the drama.

Sid explained that he had been passing through, heading surprisingly enough, to the Denver Pack. His family was asked by his Alpha, to transfer to Denver and help the Denver Pack with their expansion. His family was known for their construction company. They had helped many Packs build homes and offices. Sid had been happy to help, and they had stopped briefly at this Pack to speak to the Alpha about his future needs, when he discovered his mate’s scent.

Devon smiled and said. “The Brody Brothers?”

“Yep, that’s us. My brothers are across the street at the bar. They are gonna love this fucked up situation.” Sid said and growled. He was the youngest of the brothers and he knew they were going to give him shit. He and his brothers had left their Pack in order to help the Denver Pack; he never thought he would actually be staying. Not that it was a problem, but he had some loose ends to tie up back at his old Pack. Shaking his shoulders, he figured they would get to that later.

It sounded like Casey had too much to deal with right now, and Devon certainly did not need any more on his plate.

“So what about you, what is your story?” Sid asked.

“Well, I hate to tell you that you have hit the jackpot of fucked up situations. I am also one of the Chosen. I am the Beta of the Denver Pack, and will soon be the Beta of the Council Pack. I am not sure why fate put us together.” Devon said looking at the man to try to gauge what he was feeling. He hoped he could accept everything that was going on because he was sex on a stick and he was ready to start licking.

“I don’t really care as long as you are my mates; I will take care of both you. Besides, while you are off doing all the Council stuff, I can still help my brothers.” Sid shrugged and smiled at Devon.

Devon looked at the man while he spoke and leaned closer. Sid smiled a little larger and said,

“So, I am assuming this is not freaking you out, even a little?” Devon laughed. “What, did you mean my attraction to you?”

“Yes, that is exactly what I mean. I will be honest here. I have never had a relationship with a man before, but I have to tell you right now I am hard-pressed to remember why. You are just so damn sexy.” Sid said.

Devon chuckled and said, “So are you. I have a little experience with other men, but I have to tell you none of them turned me on the way you do.” Sid growled and leaned closer and said. “And they never will again.” Then he kissed Devon.

Kissed may have been a slight understatement, he thought as the other man claimed his lips. He did not hesitate to push his tongue through his lips and demand a response. Devon eagerly responded and they drank each other’s taste in. It felt like coming home, Devon thought.

Sid groaned and pulled Devon closer. Both men were of the same build, and it made it a little awkward at first, both trying to show dominance. Neither of them giving an inch, they dueled with their tongues, and then began pushing at each other’s clothes.

“Wait.” Devon said pulling back. “We have to talk about Casey. She needs to be there when we claim each other, and right now, she is comatose in the room. We need to get her to wake up.”

Sid smiled and said, “Later.” Devon laughed and nodded. This was going to be really fun.

Devon worried for so long about his size and strength, but the fates had graced him with two perfect mates. He knew that he could relax around them, not worry about hurting them.

“Let's go see to our girl.” Devon said and led Sid back upstairs to where he left Mike guarding Casey.

Along the way, they ran into the Alphas who had already met and approved of Sid. It was amazing to have the feeling of completion. He could not wait until they returned to Denver, and his mates were where they belonged. Finally reaching his room, he paused and kissed Sid briefly before opening the door.

Mike stood at attention, looked back and forth from the huge men, and grinned. “So, there you go.”

Devon laughed and introduced Sid to him and asked about Casey.

“A few minutes ago she talked a little, I thought she was awake and so I went to check on her, but she was sleeping. She is crying again.” Mike said and patted Devon’s shoulder and then went to the door. “Let me know if you need anything.” Devon nodded absently and made his way to the bedroom. Sid followed and he heard him suck in his breath when he saw their mate on the bed. She had curled up into a ball again and was rocking herself a little. Her eyes remained closed and he could feel the pain radiating off her.

Obviously, so could Sid because he felt the man stiffen and walk to the opposite side of the bed.

Together they sat on the bed and then lay next to her, trying to surround her with their warmth.

She was so cold. Devon got up and pulled the blankets back over her, so she would at least warm up a little. In the few hours he had been gone she had become an icicle. Cursing at himself for not thinking of his mate, he stretched back out against her.

Both of them murmuring into her ears trying to get her to calm down made little difference, Casey was still in the same dark place, they needed to find a way to get her back. She continued to withdraw from them a little at a time, shifting and moving so she had no contact with either man. Sid swore under his breath and pulled, until she was against him firmly, and then he nodded to Devon to move closer so Casey had nowhere to go.

Continuing to talk softly to her, Sid introduced himself, and explained who he was, so she would not be scared. Devon thought they were finally getting through to her when she sat up and looked around. Casey jumped from the bed and turned to look at the men who had been comforting her.

“What the fuck did you just say?” Casey said in her adorable southern accent. Devon loved it when she spoke. So did Sid obviously, because Devon saw the man’s cock stand up and take notice.

“I said, my name is Sidney or Sid, and I am your other mate.” He said calmly.

“Other mate? Like more than one?” She said frowning at first Devon and then Sid.

“Yes, that is what I said.” Sid said slowly.

“The hell you say. I cannot have two mates. I will barely be able to handle one, let alone two.” Casey said.

“Well, I am sorry to have to tell you that you do.” Devon said standing up. She was so tiny, he thought and then smiled, and cute.

“Baby, let’s talk a little.” Sid said and then stood up too.

“Freakin’ A, you two are like huge bookends.” She grumbled and allowed them to lead her into the other room.

“Hungry?” Devon said and looked over his shoulder. Both of them nodded and Casey looked around.

“So, I assume I freaked out a little, and someone brought me up here?” Casey said walking to the window and looked out.

“Let me order some food, and then I will answer all of your questions.” Devon said and pulled the menu out. “Anyone absolutely hate any food?” Sid shook his head and Casey said, “I don’t care what you order, but I want some chocolate in there somewhere. I have had a shitty day, and I want a little comfort.” Devon laughed and nodded. “Of course.”

Sid settled her on the couch in the middle and then waited for Devon to finish ordering and then come take his place on the other side of their mate.

“So what can I do?” Sid said and leaned into her.

Casey looked at him with a startled expression on her face. “What do you mean?”

“Well, I want to put a smile back on your face and make this the best day, not the shittiest. You found your mates and we found ours. It is a day for celebration, not tears.” Sid said and smiled at her.

“Well then, for starters you can turn back the hands of time and make my parents want me. Then you can make sure that they never lied to me. Oh, and if it is not too much trouble you could explain to me why no one ever explained to me why I was going to have two mates and not just one.” Casey said and looked around at the two men.

Devon chuckled at the way their mate got right to the point. “Well, we did not know either until I noticed a note made by the Seer. The Chosen are special wolves and as such, they need to have special mates. I, of course am also on the Council, and so it would only make sense we would have to have a mate who was not on the Council. We needed a balance between us.” Sid nodded and then said, “I would love to be the thing that holds us together.” Then winked at Devon, and laughed when their girl turned pink and looked away. “I think I will make a great Mr. Mom.”

“Listen, my life was just blown apart a few hours ago, and now I have to deal with two mates?

Forgive me if I am a little leery here.” She said and stood up. “Where is my so called family?” Devon put his head down, and told her they were all in the hotel waiting to talk to her. He also explained that they were being told they had to be patient, and wait until the morning because she needed a little time. Casey nodded and tears once again formed in her eyes.

“You know, I am not always this weepy. I swear. And, I only have those attacks every once in awhile, it is like my brain needs time to reboot.” She cried and Sid stood and took her in his arms and tried to calm her. Devon stepped up and put his arms around both of them.

“Baby, don’t cry, this is tearing me up knowing I can’t fix it.” Devon said.

“I could kill them all.” Sid said softly, teasing her.

Casey chuckled and then said. “Thanks, I just need to figure this whole thing out.”
