Chapter 320
10 Ben
—
The urge to protect her gnaws at me relentlessly. After just one day here, my Beta instincts have kicked into overdrive. My wolf and I are certain Jeremiah is safe—for now. We know Jason and Tommy will watch over him and Rayna if anything goes wrong. Judging by the tense glances exchanged at the training grounds earlier and what I saw in her office, only her parents, Jax, and Dev truly have her back in this place. Everyone else seems to have their own agenda, and that fact infuriates me to no end.
“Beta instincts, my ass,” a voice grumbles inside me.
“Quiet,” I snap back. “The only thing I’m good for right now is being her Beta. She doesn’t want a mate any more than I do. The Goddess must have messed up this time.”
“Keep telling yourself that,” the voice teases.
Jax and Dev take the lead as we walk down yet another long, narrow hallway. Elara doesn’t stop them as they push open the door at the end. I hesitate in the doorway, unwilling to invade their space with my scent. The room is clearly theirs—personalized in a way I wouldn’t expect from warriors. To me, it looks more like a cozy apartment: a sitting area, a small dining space, a hallway likely leading to the bedroom and bathroom, and a large sliding glass door that dominates the back wall.
“You can come in. Being in our home won’t suddenly turn you gay,” Jax jokes with a laugh.
“I’m not worried about that,” I reply, “I just didn’t want to leave a new scent in your personal space.”
Dev nudges Elara playfully. “Look at you, being considerate. See? You should learn manners from your boy.”
