Kitchen, Knight Hall

At the loud banging, I jump and spin out of Xavier’s arms.

Bang — bang — bang.

Scott straightens, immediately on the alert.

Falcon’s gaze darts to me, before he turns to Scott and clicks, as if it’s a prearranged signal.

Scott’s expression becomes dangerous, as he falls in at Falcon’s shoulder, and they both prowl to the kitchen door.

It’s smooth and like a military operation. I’m impressed, and it reminds me of the signals that Lucian and I use.

I’ve seen Falcon and Scott like this before in the paparazzi shots of them stalking out of elite, celebrity events or from the Capitol Building with Scott working as bodyguard.

This is the Falcon that I recognize: dominant and deadly.

Fear and desire curl through me equally.

“Look after Rebel,” Falcon snaps at Xavier. “She’s your responsibility. Don’t make me discipline you for real.”

“Yes, Sir.” Xavier replies.

Fuck that.

I’m no one’s responsibility.

I dart out into the hallway, following as Falcon and Scott prowl into the foyer toward the high front door.

The foyer’s decorated with gorgeous abstract paintings of birds in bold primary colors, which contrast with the paleness of the walls and the staid antiques on plinths.

“Shit,” Xavier hisses.

He rushes after me, snatching me around the waist.

I struggle, but he pulls me against his warm chest.

“Are you so eager to see my sexy ass publicly spanked, hmm? Behave.” Xavier kisses my ear to take the sting out of his words.

I wince. I didn’t mean to get him into trouble.

Was Falcon serious about disciplining him? My ass clenches.

Xavier turns me in his arms, stroking my cheek, before kissing me again.

I’m shaking.

His lips are plush, delicious. But they can’t distract me because I can guess who’s trying to beat down the door.

My brother.

I know because if Lucian had been in Knight Hall, instead of me, taken by Falcon as one of his Alphas, then I’d feel the same. I wouldn’t simply drop around meekly to hand over his stuff like I wasn’t sacrificing part of my heart, I’d slam my fist angrily against the door as well.

It wouldn’t matter that the Knights only did it to save his life.

Lucian doesn’t know that I consented or how many times they all checked in that I’d chosen them and was okay.

“Please,” I whisper. “Let me stay.”

Xavier looks conflicted. “You’re asking me to break an order from my Chief Alpha.”

I nod.

Xavier sighs. “It won’t be the first time. And my ass does look pretty when it’s red. Okay, but you owe me.”

I kiss him, and this time, I try to show him how much it means that he’s heard me.

It means the world to me.

When I pull back, he looks dazed.

“Remind me to disobey Falcon more often, if that’s the reward.” He lets me go with a smile.

I turn back to the door at the moment that Scott yanks it open.

As I suspected, it’s Lucian who storms through.

My chest tightens to see Lucian’s familiar tumble of golden hair. His tawny eyes, however, are snapping with fury and fear, as he stares at Falcon like he’s the devil.
