words so I didn t stick my foot in my mouth. I cut up my meat, taking
a bite before deciding how to phrase what I wanted to say. You have
nine brothers, right? Is there one of the bunch that s easiest to talk to?
Someone who never judges, always listens, and lets it be all about you
sometimes?
Aye, that be Fergus. His eyes went wide and he cursed under
his breath. I m not talking bad against Banning. He be me twin, but
when you share emotions and feel what the other one is, it s hard just
to talk sometimes.
That makes sense. I didn t take it as you slighting your twin. It s
just there s something in certain people that makes them so easy to
talk to, to be around.
I agree. Fergus is almost like talking to a father. Ya know it
won t go anywhere, and he just lets ya get it off your chest without
trying to be involved or suggesting how ya should handle things.
Yeah, that s Darcy. I m not the only one who talks to him, and
being a warrior, it s hard to talk to anyone. Plus, we have somewhat
similar backgrounds, so we were kinda friendly and drinking buddies.
But then when Isaac was going through all kinds of shit with his
family, he shut me out. For so long we d been best friends and then
suddenly it was like I didn t matter anymore. Darcy and I became
closer and we started sleeping together.

But that s all it was. Just sex. We both knew it and there s no
hard feelings or wanting more from each other. We were friends who
scratched each other s itch sometimes or when we needed to not feel
so alone. It was the best explanation I had, and I was trying to make
Brian realize that if things were going to work out between us, my
heart didn t belong to another.
I m glad ya had someone to turn to when ya needed them.
We ate in comfortable silence for a while. I d read the instructions
for the other pills, and they were to be taken after meals, three times a
day. I got about halfway through my steak and baby potatoes before I
was full. I went over to the nightstand and popped one of those, the
bed calling to me.
Wait, before ya go to bed ya have to have some blood, Brian
said gently. He stood and went to a small fridge next to the TV stand
that I hadn t even noticed was there. It was about three feet tall and
stainless steel, making it blend into the surroundings. I watched him
pull out a bag of blood with apprehension. Banning and I said we d
offer to give ya a blow job each time ya drank blood if that s what it
would take to get you to do it. It seems funny to suggest now. But I
am willing to do anything to get ya better.
I just about swallowed my tongue. What sane man passed up that
offer? Oh right, me. Thanks, but I couldn t use you like that. And it
would kind of go against the whole taking this slow policy.
Aye, that be true, he agreed and handed it to me. I sat down and
let my fangs come out before sinking them into the bag. I drank it
down, doing my best to ignore my rolling stomach. It would probably
get worse before it got better, but I had to start putting what I needed
into my body. I tossed it in the trash when I was done, groaning as I
suddenly felt dizzy. Do I need to get the doc?
No, but I d like it if you lie with me for a while. No funny stuff. I
just think it would be nice if we just lay here and got used to each
other. It sounded stupid and sappy. I waited for him to laugh at me.

Instead I got a bright smile. I d like that. He toed off his shoes
as I did the same and crawled into bed with me. We didn t spoon, but
Brian did lie on his side next to me, our bodies not quite touching. I
took his hand and intertwined our fingers, laying them over my chest.
He sighed contently and I closed my eyes. It felt right, and I drifted
right off to sleep.

Brian
I heard a growl and started to wake up. Then I gasped in pain. I
shot out of bed, crying out and stumbling to the ground. Me body felt
as if millions of bugs were crawling under me skin. I tried to scratch,
but me hands and arms weren t cooperating with me.
Help, I cried out, writhing on the floor in pain.
Oh fuck, Zane shouted and picked up the phone next to the bed.
Help us. I used my gift on Brian. His voice sounded panicked.
I wasn t sure who he was talking to, and I didn t really care,
though I would ask what me mate s gift was later. All I cared about
was if they could make it stop.
Just breathe, baby, Zane cooed. Suddenly I was in his lap, his
hands rubbing all over me body. Wherever he touched, instantly the
pain stopped there. I took a few deep breaths, me heart slowing down.
The door burst open and I smelled Isaac, Rory, and me twin, hearing
their frantic footsteps as they all ran to help me.
What did you do? Banning growled as he knelt in front of us,
pulling me out of Zane s lap.
No, I whimpered, trying to fight him. His touch helps. Me
twin instantly let me go but still looked pissed enough to chew nails.
It was an accident, Zane whispered, his tone pleading that we
understand. I saw him glance at Isaac. I woke up with someone
draped over me and smelled my mate. I got scared and lashed out
before I even realized it. I d forgotten that they d come here or where
I was. I thought I was having a nightmare and wanted to wake up.

It s okay, I know you d never hurt them on purpose, Isaac said
gently as he knelt next to us. I wasn t in pain any longer and started to
sit up before collapsing right back in his lap. Rory, get Brian some
blood.
On it, Rory said, his eyes as big as saucers, looking completely
confused and shocked. Yeah, I felt the same way.
What does him being scared have to do with Brian being in
pain? Banning barked out, his gaze darting between Isaac and Zane.
Our mate nodded, swallowing loudly.
Zane s gift is the ability to screw with people s nerves. You
know that little creepy chick in Twilight? Isaac asked. I thought it
was a weird thing to bring up, but I figured Isaac had a point so I
nodded. Well, she s got nothing on Zane. She says pain and people
grab their heads. Zane can control all the nerves in someone s body
and fry them out.
Holy fuck, Banning gasped, his eyes going wide with fear.
Why in god s name would someone be given that gift? Gifts are
supposed to be good and, well, gifts.
But he s a warrior, Isaac explained, shaking his head. Rory
came over and handed me a bag of blood. We re given gifts that are
