Chapter 3 Her Moans When Kissing Me 2*

RYAN.

I refocus on my work and see that everything is in order, but I don't know what the problem is, so I decide to call Ted, my future beta, who is in charge of all the companies because he loves to travel and meet women while searching for his destined partner. I let the phone ring three times before he answers.

"Ryan, brother," he says.

"Hey, Ted, how are you? How's everything going?" I ask.

"Everything is under control, brother. I have a meeting in a few hours to figure out what's going on, and then I'll be heading to Turkey for a review next week," he replies.

"Thanks, brother," I say.

"Ryan, you know you can count on me, just like I know I can count on you," he says.

"That's a given, brother," I reply. "Listen, I need you to find Lale for me. I haven't heard from her since yesterday, and I know she was in Paris shopping."

"Okay, I'll take care of it after my meeting. I'll let you know as soon as I find out anything. How's everything with the pack?" he asks.

"Everything's fine here, Ted. Your father is, as always, very strict," I reply.

"That's my dad, I'm proud of him," he says. "And how's your little witch?"

"Don't call her that, Ted," I warn him.

He bursts out laughing. "But that's what she is! You're just too domesticated, kitty cat," he teases.

"TED!" I scold him.

"Okay, okay, I'll stop," he says, still chuckling. "You're not as much of a ladies' man as I am, I get it," he says sarcastically, making me roll my eyes.

We continue talking, and eventually, we say our goodbyes. I hang up the phone, feeling a bit annoyed but also loving him like a brother.

There's a knock at the door, and I know it's Lauren by her scent. I tell her to come in, and she greets me with a smile.

"Good morning, my love," she says, and we kiss.

We spend the next few minutes making love, and afterwards, she gets ready to leave.

As she's about to go, I start thinking about my mysterious woman again, and I feel myself getting hard all over again. I consider calling Lauren back, but Magnus intervenes.

"DON'T YOU DARE CALL HER," he growls.

"Why not, Magnus?" I ask.

"BECAUSE I DON'T TOLERATE HER," he replies.

"But you like it when we're in heat," I point out.

"I HAD NO OTHER CHOICE, BECAUSE YOU'VE ONLY WANTED TO BE WITH HER IN THE LAST FEW YEARS, RYAN. AND YOU KNOW I'VE TOLD YOU I PREFER TO BE ALONE, LOCKED UP, BUT NO, YOU GO AND ARE WITH HER WITHOUT MY CONSENT. YOU HAVEN'T EVEN GONE OUT TO LOOK FOR OUR FEMALE. I'M GETTING SERIOUSLY ANGRY WITH YOU, RYAN. I THINK LAUREN DID SOMETHING TO YOU TO MAKE YOU NOT WANT TO GO OUT AND LOOK FOR HER."

"Don't say that, Magnus. You know she's not allowed to do magic within the pack, especially not to us," I warn him.

"WHO'S TO SAY SHE DIDN'T DO IT? HOW CAN YOU BE SO SURE?" Magnus asks, his voice rising in anger.

"MAGNUS!" I shout, trying to calm him down.

"HUMAN IDIOT," he growls, and then cuts off the link.

I'm left standing there, wondering what's gotten into him.
