.There was an almost hopeful glint in the man s smoky blue eyesas he skidded to a stop and cocked his head to one side, staringintently between Hugh and Kye, as if not quite believing what he wasseeing. A Little Bit of Heaven 75 Who are you? the man whispered as he sniffed the air aroundHugh while looking like he wasn t trying to sniff the air.Hugh really thought nothing of the man s gesture.It was naturalfor other lions to sniff for a scent when they met someone knew.However, he countered the man s question with one of his ownbecause he wasn t about to put any information out there in the openwithout knowing who the man was first. Who are you? Neumus Mihos, Beta of Mihos pride. Hugh Marshall. Hugh glanced behind him at Kye, and then lethis eyes stray to his own brothers and Kye s brothers.When they allnodded at his unspoken question, he turned back to look at Neumus. Alpha of Potter s Creek Pride. 76 Stormy GlennChapter 7Neumus couldn t believe he was standing in front of his mates,both of them, and they smelled better than anything he had eversmelled in his life.The bigger one smelled like mountain air andjasmine.The smaller man had a more subtle scent, like a mixture ofthe pink petals of a dogwood tree and mint.Combined, the fragrances were heavenly. Well, Stellan mused, this makes things a little moreinteresting. Neumus could barely tear his eyes off of the two men before himto look over at his brother.He didn t like the smirk on his brother sface.Somehow, he knew it didn t bode well for him. What makes what more interesting? Neumus asked cautiously.Stellan s eyes were gentle and understanding as he looked back upat him. This is Hugh Marshall and his mate, Kye.We were justdiscussing his new pride.He s going to be taking over the Potter sCreek Pride for me. Neumus kind of figured out that part considering what Hugh hadsaid.He kept his mouth shut, waiting for his brother to elaborate.Hewas waiting for the other shoe to drop. Hugh just became an alpha Stellan glanced down at the watchon his wrist for a moment.There was a self-satisfied grin on his facewhen he looked up at Neumus again about six hours ago when hefound Kye and couldn t scent him. Neumus s eyes bugged.He quickly turned to look at the little mansitting on the couch behind Hugh. He can t scent you? A Little Bit of Heaven 77Kye chewed on his lower lip as he shook his head.There was anunspoken pain in Kye s eyes, one that Neumus was hard-pressed notto take away.There should be no misery in such sparkling, moss-green eyes. You know what that means, right? He had been through thiswith his brother, and it had been a nightmare.Stellan almost lostBenji because he didn t understand about the lack of scent in analpha s mate.After that, Neumus had researched as much as hepossibly could about the claiming of a mate.He didn t want to sufferthe same fate as Stellan. Yes, the gorgeous little man replied in a soft voice. It meansthat Hugh is an alpha and I am his mate. After getting to know Benji, Neumus was a little surprised at howsoft spoken Kye seemed.He was used to the alpha mate being loudand boisterous, not quiet and serene.It was kind of hard to take in. That s actually how Hugh discovered that he was an alpha,Neumus, Stellan said. When he couldn t scent Kye, it was a giventhat Hugh was an alpha.Since he had already been planning onleaving his current pride to come here, it was easy enough to arrangefor him to take over the Potter s Creek Pride. Neumus frowned as he glanced at his brother, and then up toHugh. Why were you leaving your pride? The alpha of my pride is an asshole. Neumus continued to stare, waiting for Hugh to say somethingmore, but the man just crossed his arms over his chest and pressed hislips together.Well, at least he no longer had his claws out.That wassomething.Still, the tension in the air was so thick that Neumus almostchoked on it.He knew that Hugh and Kye were his mates.He couldsmell it on both men.He just couldn t understand why they hadn tfigured it out.He knew that Hugh wouldn t be able to smell him, but that shouldhave been a big clue to the alpha.And Kye probably would have been 78 Stormy Glennable to smell him if Hugh would let him get closer.The alpha wasstanding between Neumus and Kye like an unmovable wall.For the first time since he was an untried teenager on his first date,Neumus felt embarrassed and unsure.He didn t have a clue how toget Hugh and Kye to understand that they were all mates.Kye was sitting on the couch staring up at him like he had neverseen a lion before.Hugh, on the other hand, continued to glare atNeumus as if he expected him to attack at any second.Neither manseemed to understand the situation. Stellan? Neumus whispered in desperation.He needed help, andStellan always knew what to say or do. Hugh, Stellan said, do you trust me? I suppose. Yeah, Neumus didn t think that response wasn t going to winHugh any brownie points with his brother.Still, he was surprisedwhen Stellan chuckled and brushed the comment aside. Do me a favor then, Stellan said. Sniff my brother and tell mewhat you smell. Hugh s eyebrows shot up to his hairline.His shock at Stellan srequest must have been huge because he took his attention off ofNeumus for a moment and turned to look at Stellan in astonishment. Excuse me? Please? Stellan waved his hand at Neumus. Tell me what yousmell. Hugh s eyebrows dipped down over his face when he turned backto Neumus.He leaned in and sniffed the air right next to Neumus sface.Neumus shuddered as Hugh s breath blew out across his cheek,and the man s intriguing scent grew stronger.Suddenly, Hugh growled and grabbed Neumus by his arms,yanking him closer.Neumus groaned as Hugh s nose buried in histhroat.Oh, the things he could think of to do with this man if theywere not in a room full of people.He had a list a mile long, one that A Little Bit of Heaven 79he had been working on since he first realized that he had a mate outthere in the world, waiting to be claimed.When Hugh leaned away from him, Neumus almost whimpered inprotest until he spotted the confusion on Hugh s face. You can tsmell me, can you? No. Neumus found himself grinning as he watched a varied show ofemotions play out over Hugh s face as the man pieced together thepuzzle and came to a conclusion.The look on Hugh s face when hefinally realized they were mates was one Neumus wouldn t havemissed for anything in the world.Hugh s extraordinary brown eyes blazed and glowed as he staredwordlessly at Neumus.His mouth hung open, and the little pants ofair coming out only increased with each passing moment. Little bit, Hugh finally said, not taking his eyes away fromNeumus. I d like you to meet our other mate, Neumus Mihos. Neumus took a quick breath of utter astonishment as Hughstepped to the side and the most beautiful man he had ever seen stoodup and stepped over next to the powerful alpha.Because Hugh hadbeen standing between them, Neumus hadn t really gotten a goodlook at Kye, but as he glanced at him, he wondered how he couldhave missed the gorgeous little man.Kye was breathtaking, ethereal [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
