meant only one thing.

“How what?” Cole asked nonchalantly like he didn’t have a fucking clue as to what Josef referred to.

“Don’t give me that shit.” He edged closer to Cole and hovered over him. “How did you mask your scent? I know you’re my mate. Your smell”—Josef couldn’t help but scent the air, his nostrils flaring—“makes me feel alive, and I want to touch you, love on you, and never stop.” He bent down the couple inches it took to be nose to nose with his mate. “So I will ask you again, how did you hide this from me?”

“All right,” Cole finally said. “But can we at least pull our pants up? I don’t want to have this conversation with my dick blowing in the wind.”

“Fine.” Josef took a step back and rearranged his clothes, making a show of tucking his semi-hard cock away. He could feel Cole’s eyes on him, and no matter how confused Josef was at the moment he still wanted Cole.

Once they were completely dressed again, Josef waved a hand at Cole. “Speak.”

“I’m not a dog,” Cole huffed. “You don’t have to bark orders at me.”

“Oh really.” Josef crossed his arms over his heaving chest. “You’re right. You’re not a dog, just a liar.”

“Liar? How the hell so?”

“Because we’re mates and somehow you hid that from me. Not an outright lie but a lie by omission, all the same. But my question is how did you do it? I can smell that you’re a wolf, but fifteen minutes ago I didn’t smell shit coming from you and now I’m being damn near blinded by it. How did you hide this?” Josef was puzzled by all this. He was a wolf for fuck’s sake. How did he not scent his mate or that the guy was a wolf?

“First, not telling you doesn’t mean I lied. I was just protecting myself and you.” Cole sighed, casting his eyes downward, then looked back up with such sadness in his eyes. Josef wanted to go to him and take away whatever was causing Cole to be upset, but he couldn’t. He needed answers.

“Protecting me from what?” Josef thought it best to start out slow. Work up to the whole issue of Cole hiding his identity from him.

“My father,” Cole said simply.

Josef shrugged. “So? I’ve dealt with asshole parents before.” Not really but he didn’t want to give Cole an out on keeping this from him.

“Not like my father. He’s the alpha of my old pack, and he follows the traditional ways of running it.” Cole flashed him a small smile, and Josef’s heart began to race from how sexy it looked on his mate’s lips.

“Traditional? How so?” Josef asked.

“Well for starters, I’m an omega.” Josef quirked an eyebrow at that. He’d heard stories about omegas before, but he had never met one. “And by the look on your face I can tell you don’t know much about my kind.”

Josef coughed, pretending to clear his throat. He didn’t know how to respond to his mate. He didn’t want to sound like a complete buffoon, but if he admitted his lack of knowledge toward that subject, he might be able to keep Cole talking. “Not really.”

Cole nodded his head. “Don’t feel bad. The majority of packs today don’t follow the old ways, but my father does. He runs his pack with him as the alpha, my brothers at the betas, and then there’s me, the omega. Low man on the totem pole.”

“Brothers?” Josef was eager to learn more about his mate and the structure of his former pack, but hearing him say brothers made him start to wonder something, and if he was correct he made an ass of himself by overreacting and put Jensen in the middle of it by asking him out on a date. “Are those the guys I saw you with earlier?”

* * * *

Cole titled his head and eyed his mate curiously. And just like that it smacked him in the face. Josef saw his brothers and him together in front of his apartment, and after their disappointing kiss Josef thought he was seeing someone else. “Are you here with that guy to get back at me?” He took a step toward Josef, anger egging him on.

“Not to get back at you but to forget about you!” Josef shouted. “These last couple of days I’ve been losing my mind over you and couldn’t figure out why. Then you kissed me, and it was so fucking perfect, then you pulled away and acted like it was nothing. And when I left I saw you getting a little cozy with those two huge guys what was I supposed to think?”

“Dude!” Cole snapped. “You’re a wolf for God’s sakes. We have excellent eyesight. Couldn’t you see the resemblance?”

“To be fair I just had my heart squashed by you.” Josef pointed a finger into Cole’s chest, and he had to do all he could not to smack it away. “I wasn’t looking for a family resemblance between you and the two men who were touching you. So please fucking forgive me for not noticing.”

Cole took a deep, calming breath. Fighting would get them nowhere. They both needed to be rational and talk this out. “Sorry, it’s just been a long night.”

“Tell me about it.” Josef leaned back against the car behind him.

“Yes, those two men are my brothers, Josh and Jake.”

“Okay then.” Josef brought a hand up to scrub across his chin, and Cole followed his movement. “I’m sorry I overreacted, and I feel like a complete ass for leading Jensen on. I probably ought to apologize to him.”

“Yeah, I think we both should.” Cole felt like an idiot
