Chapter 1

Envy bustled around her bedroom packing some of her things into her black leather suitcase. She stopped and glared at her brother when she noticed he was unpacking her stuff every time she turned her back to get more. Heâd been breathing down her neck since she came home and she was starting to get really frustrated with him.

âStop it,â Envy snapped as she jerked a handful of clothes away from him and threw them back into the suitcase. She tossed her long red hair over her shoulder and shot him a warning glare.

âBut moving out? Youâve only known him whatâ¦ a week? Are you sure this is what you want to do?â Chad repeated like a mantra.

âThe answer is still the same Chad,â Envy informed him in a steady voice, wondering how many times sheâd have to say it before he actually heard her. She locked gazes with him and, treating him like a dim-witted child, she said the words very slowly, âI want to move in with Devon, and thatâs exactly what Iâm going to do.â

âHow can you be sure that in a week or month from now, he wonât find some other girl and dump you?â Chad demanded desperately.

âHe wonât.â She continued packing, trying to block out the nagging feeling that she was abandoning her brother. He was a grown man for crying out loud, and a cop to boot.

âYou donât know that for sure. I mean, he dances in that club half naked every night and youâll be stuck behind the bar serving drinks to perverts,â Chad exclaimed ready to start pulling his hair out. What he really wanted to do was scream at her for getting involved in something so dangerousâ¦ with someone so dangerous.

Envy stopped packing and looked up at her only sibling whom she loved dearly but was getting ready to throttle. âOne, I do know for sure. Two, he might be half naked, but he looks great that way. Three, Iâll get to dance with him in the cage. And four,â she leaned closer as if parting with a dirty little secret, âyou really need to get laid.â

Chad glared down at his sister, âI do not need to get laid.â He growled when she cocked an eyebrow at him.

âYes, you do.â She jerked open a drawer and grabbed a handful of skimpy lingerie.

âNo, I donât.â Chad slammed the suitcase shut before she could add them to what he prayed was only a huge overnight bag.

âYes you do.â Envy shook the lingerie in his face as if to make a point.

âNo I donât.â He jerked them out of her hand.

âNo you donât.â She narrowed her eyes angrily.

âYes I do.â Chad paused then punched the fist full of lingerie in the air. âDAMN IT!â

Devon was in the living room leaning against the wall with his ankles crossed and his hands in his jean pocketsâ¦ trying not to laugh his ass off. Their arguing reminded him so much of his relationship with his own loving siblings.

He could tell Chad really did care about Envy, and because of that, he wouldnât stand between them. Chad was doing what he did bestâ¦ he was being a big brother to one spit-fire of a redhead. Nope, he wouldnât stop them, but heâd pay good money to just watch.

Devon laughed out loud then tried to cover it up with a fake cough. Someone knocked on the door and his ice blue eyes narrowed wondering who in the hell would be visiting the siblings before dawn.

âDevon, could you get that for me?â Chad called out.

âSure,â Devon answered and pushed away from the wall before moving toward the entrance. Opening the door, he couldnât help but smirk at the surprised look on Trevorâs face. âHello Trevor, long time no see.â

As promised, Trevor had come to talk with Chad about what heâd seen at the church. The last thing heâd expected was for Devon Santos to open the door. Unable to control his reaction, Trevor instantly raised his fist and hit the jaguar right in the noseâ¦ hard.

Devon stumbled back a couple of steps and wiped the blood from his nose. He looked at it then back up at Trevor, baring his teeth. Before Trevor could move, Devon tackled him out of the door and into the front yard.

Clothing ripped and fell away as the two of them shifted into their animal forms. Devon circled around the Kodiak and lunged with a loud jaguar scream. Trevor roared and rose up on his hind legs while trying to grab at the jaguar attached to his back.

Inside, Chad and Envy heard Devon's roar and ran through the house to the front door. They froze when they saw Devon fighting with a huge bear right in their front yard. The cop was instantly grateful they didnât live within seeing distance of any neighbors.

Chad flipped his mental switch, turning all his emotions off. It was something that clicked within him that always made him completely calm and coldâ¦ even in the middle of a gun fight. Reaching to the holster on his right hip, Chad drew his pistol and fired it once in the air trying to get their attention. He frowned when it didnât even faze them and he got a punch on his left arm.

âLet someone know when youâre going to fire that thing!â Envy exclaimed while holding a hand over her right ear and cringing at the loud ringing.

Zachary stepped away from his car with a huge sigh and stared at the two children fighting. Once more, cooler heads would have to step in. He smirked at his inside joke because no one would ever use the word cool to describe him. Raising his hand in front of him, he shot a heat wave toward the two shifters, making them leap back when a single stream of fire raced across the yard separating them.

âIf you two donât want your fur singed, then you had best change back into men and pretend to have a little common sense,â Zackary warned as another flame started to grow from his outstretched hand. âAre you two going to act like adults or children, because it doesnât make any damn difference to me?â he smiled coldly as the flame grew higher and leaned toward its target.

Knowing Zackary would do it, Trevor changed back and glared across the licking flames at his opponent. Just looking at the man who had stolen Envy from him had his blood pressure up so high that he had to concentrate just to keep is human form.

Devon changed back but kept his fighting stance, not trusting Trevor as far as he could throw him. He was momentarily distracted hearing Chadâs loud âGood Lordâ and quickly glanced toward the siblings. Seeing Envy staring wide eyed at Trevorâ¦ who was now naked, Devon growled deeply wanting her attention back where it belongedâ¦ on him.

Envy rubbed her temple now that both men were naked, luckily with only minor wounds. Devon had shown her how fast weres can heal so she knew nothing was as bad as it looked with them. Her gaze traveled over Trevor, still shocked that sheâd been dating a freaking bear for so long and not known it.

Trevor smirked enjoying the fact that Devonâs growl was the sound of pure jealousyâ¦ served the jaguar right.

Chad blinked wondering whoâd slipped him the acid. Usually the calm one in bad situations, he inhaled deeply then pushed away from the door to stand at his full height. âThis is my house, so we play by my rules. Envy's staying here with me, and everyone thatâs not human is leaving.â He tried to shut the door but Envy stopped him.

âNot without my mate,â Devon growled trying to shake off the echo affect he was getting. Damn, who knew Trevor was so strong? The knowledge didnât sit well with him.

âPut your clothes on,â Envy frowned then turned curious eyes toward Zackary. It looked like him and Trevor could have been brothers,
