“I don’t know. I’m taking Lucien over there. He’s hell-bent on seeing Hellen and that’s where she told him she was going. I gotta see this,” he said as he watched Tempest force herself up off the bed and start shoving her legs into a pair of sweats. “What are you doing?”
“I’m coming. I gotta see this, too.” She stopped tugging the sweat pants up her legs and turned to look at him. “He asked for permission to be here?”
“Yeah, he did. I granted it.”
“I’m surprised. Glad you did, but surprised.”
“Why are you surprised?”
“He’s another Alpha,” she said as if it wasn’t clear enough on its own.
“Yeah. But he’s Hellen’s. That’s what you said, right?”
“I did. But what I really meant is that he could be Hellen’s. Ultimately, it’s up to her.”
Brandt shrugged. “He’s also very, very strong, which might come in handy in the future, and he’s so honest it borders on offensive. I like him. And I look forward to watching him fit in around here, if Hellen doesn’t send him packing. This is going to be funny.”
“Not likely she sends him anywhere… you get a good look at that male?” Tempest asked.
“Yes. He’s just a male.”
“No, he is not just a male. That’s a sex God walking.”
“He’s an alligator.”
“I don’t give a damn what he is, that male is pure sex. Well, sex and attitude.”
“Maybe I’m rethinking giving him permission to be around here.”
“Oh, don’t be jealous, my mate. Just being honest.”
“Mmhmm. You need help putting those things on?”
“No, but if you could grab me one of your teeshirts I’d appreciate it.”
“Coming up.”

Lucien turned at the sound of the door opening and smiled at Tempest as she walked out of it. “You coming to see this circus blow up in my face, too?”
Tempest laughed. “I have no choice. I gotta watch.”
“So, help a male out… what’s the worst part going to be?” Lucien asked.
Brandt locked the door and pulled it closed, then he and Tempest shared a knowing look. “Maverik,” they said at the same time.
“What’s a Maverik?”
“Hellen’s father.”
“Ahhh. I understand.”
“And then it’ll be Havoc,” Brandt said.
“Who’s that?” Lucien asked.
“Twin brother. But you might luck out and he won’t be there,” Brandt said.
