The Alphas' Bliss by G.J. Cox Page B

I would have come for you Bliss,” he sounded sad but also a bit angry.
    “I wouldn’t have come willingly with you, Devin. Wolves tried to kill me. I won’t trust them again easily, and that includes you,” I stared at the house where I could see shadows walking to and fro behind the curtains. I wondered if Micha was still fighting with Henry and Bethell.
    “Tell me Bliss, when Micha takes you, do your eyes turn blue, do you feel the need to bite?”
    I turned to look at him. The question surprised and embarrassed me. I could feel the heat turning my cheeks red. “That’s none of your business Devin Richardson.”
    He grabbed my left hand and ran his thumb over the mark that made me his. It was making the buzz in my body stronger and making me pant. I was growing wet between my thighs.
    “Oh but it is Bliss. I’d like to know if my mate is half wolf or not.”
    I pulled my hand free, getting up from the bench. I paced a few feet away from him. “Will it make a difference if I am?” I didn’t wait for him to answer the question. “Go to the house and speak to my guardians if that’s what you came here for, but I’m not answering that question.”
    “What question?” Micha asked coming out from the shadows to stand next to Devin. I looked at them standing so close together. They were opposite ends of a spectrum. One light, one dark. Both devastatingly handsome. Both were going to be the death of my sanity. The buzzing in my blood was in overdrive. It made my skin feel alive. I rubbed my arms to help alleviate the sensation but it wasn’t working. My panties grew wetter, my nipples pebbled. God, what the hell was wrong with me?
    Devin gave me that bad boy grin. “I wanted to know if my mate was half wolf, so I asked if when you made love to her, do her eyes turn blue and if she felt the need to bite you. I don’t see any fresh bite marks on you but you guys heal so damn fast I can’t tell.” Devin continued to surreptitiously inspect Micha’s neck. I just shook my head.
    “I don’t make love to Bliss,” Micha answered honestly. Again, I felt my face heating up. Jesus, could nothing stay private?
    Devin shook his head. “Ok, well, when you fuck her, do her eyes turn blue?”
    Before I knew what I was doing, I’d walked up to him and slapped him across the face. My palm print glowed against his skin. “You are a pig, Devin Richardson.” The buzz under my skin picked up tempo and I felt my nails extend. I also felt the prick of my fangs into my bottom lip. I was furious. I wanted to rip him apart. I could feel my heart beating, the tempo loud in my ears. I was shaking with rage.
    Micha’s arms came around me, holding me tight, his lips at my temple. Devin smiled at me, his eyes shining bright. “I’ll be damned,” he said quietly, watching me closely.
    “Shh, sweetheart, just breathe, calm down. Yeah, he’s a bastard but you don’t have to tear him apart.” Micha whispered huskily into my ear.
    I looked down at my hands and black claws tipped each finger. I growled. Did that sound just come from me? I looked over at Devin. His eyes were still that shiny blue and he was still smiling, which infuriated me. “I want to tear your throat out,” I told him angrily but my voice was deeper, more guttural. It didn’t sound like me at all.
    “I know baby and it makes me so damn happy.”
    I lunged for him, claws extended. If it weren’t for Micha’s iron clad arms around me I would have grabbed Devin and torn into him. His very presence was pissing me off beyond belief. I felt the draw to him but also felt the mistrust. He’d made me angry but I didn’t know why I was so enraged. I just knew I wanted to hurt him or throw him down on the cobblestones and mount him. I turned to Micha.
    “What’s wrong with me?” I whimpered. I was scared. I felt crazy. The buzzing in my blood was in hyper-drive. I was so turned on I wanted to scream. Devin was too close. Micha’s touch was soothing but it was
