Frustrated curses escaped Ivan’s lips as they pushed through the dense maze of bushes. “Fucking bugs.”

“They’re beautiful.” I smiled as we navigated through the maze. Ivan growled as we walked through the tall barrier bushes. Brightly colored flowers grew from the colorful leaves that attracted hundreds of butterflies. The vibrant colors of the foliage were dotted with bright flowers, each one a magnet for the fluttering butterflies. Their wings flapped in a dance of shades and patterns.

Ivan swatted away, keeping his arm raised in protection as Finn chuckled.

“Some protector he is.” Finn glanced over at me. “You should probably stick closer to me.”

“You are the worst bug of all,” Ivan growled, moving closer to

1. me.

“Bug?” Finn stopped walking to glare at Ivan.

“I hate mosquitos.”

It seemed like a harmless thing to say, but Finn’s eyes glowed red! His fangs protruded as he glared at Ivan. I’d always

wondered about vampire fangs. Like, were they just to puncture and then they drank, or were the fangs like straws? I moved on my own to investigate, reaching out to touch his fang. He was so fixated on Ivan that he didn’t notice me. He jumped back and covered his mouth. His face turned red and he looked at me with wide eyes. I could hear Ivan laughing as he grabbed me by the shoulders.

“You are a naughty one,” he said to me, and I had no idea what he meant.

“I was just curious how their fangs worked.” I glanced back at Finn, who was still blushing.

“Touching a vampire’s fangs is an intimate act.” I snapped my head to Ivan in shock.

“What?!”

“Why do you think they have a biting fixation? The bite is pleasurable. They bite their mates to stimulate pleasure. Touching his fangs would be like someone rubbing your nipples.” A smirk spread across his lips as I parted mine. I searched his eyes to see if he was teasing me, but he wasn’t.

“Oh my gods … Finn, I am so sorry. I didn’t know.”

“It’s okay.” His voice was muffled as he continued to cover his face.

“Why did you get so upset, though?” I watched as his brows furrowed.

“I didn’t mean it like that, Finn. That was a low blow. Sorry, I didn’t mean to sling mud.” Ivan rubbed the back of his neck and looked down at me. I looked at him expectantly for an answer.

“Mosquitos is a term used for bloodthirsty vampires. The ones who drink without a care. Like the ones running rampant now among the vampires. It wasn’t always like that. There was once order and a control of their thirst. But they have almost become drunk with blood. Think of it as a derogatory term for vampires. The word slipped out because I was thinking of bugs, but I winced as soon as I said it. Sorry, man.”

“The polar bear prince is apologizing to me? That is a win for the day. Apology accepted.”

“And with that fang action, you have a double win.”

Finn began to blush again, turning his head to the side. “I was just shocked. I’m fine.”

“I can’t wait to tell Darren about his mate giving your fangs a hand job—”

“And I think this conversation has officially crossed the line,” I said, turning to look down the dividing path. I caught a scent it was faint and not fresh. But it was one that I would recognize anywhere. I began to run toward the fragrance.

“Lissa, it was just a joke! Lissa!” I could hear Ivan gro

“Where are we going?” Finn was jogging next to me effortlessly.

“I can’t wait to tell Darren about his mate giving your fangs a hand job-”

If I was in my lycan form, I could outrun him, but not in my human form. Not that I was outrunning him. My mind was suddenly confused. “Do you smell another scent?” I glanced at him, continuing to run down the path, but I ran into a dead end. The smell was coming from the wall in front of me

“I smell many scents. You’re going to have to be more specific,” he said as Ivan came to my side.

“What part of ‘stay by my side‘ do you not understand?”

“I need to get to the other side. I don’t want to lose the trail-”

“What are we trailing?” Finn asked, but I didn’t know how to answer. I wasn’t wrong … right? It was impossible, but my sense of smell said it wasn’t.

Ivan stared at me and then sighed. “Finn, hop over and I’ll toss her to you.”

“I am capable of jumping over myself.”

“Of course you are, but I’d feel safer if Finn was over there first.” Ivan glanced over at Finn as he blurred over the hedge. I must admit, in my human form, it would not be easy to leap over it. But I wasn’t one who wanted help over something, soooooo– My own thoughts were interrupted as I was thrown, yes thrown, over the hedge. Finn caught me in mid air, bringing me safely to my feet. A second later, followed by a loud commoti climbed over the hedge, little leaves and flowers stuck to his body.

“Too big for the jump, huh?” Finn smirked.

“Want to arm wrestle?”
