Michael and Jesse had finished with the task Garrey gave them earlier and he was now drinking from the whisky glass he'd sneaked in the small garden, away from everyone.It was a semi- secluded area, not far from the Manor, and Michael found a small bench, that was hidden behind a tall, nicely trimmed rose bush.By now, most guests were already drunk, and he decided they wouldn’t need him urgently for anything.He sat on the bench and took a long swig from the glassThe whiskey was bitter, burning his throat, but at the same time it felt great.He remembered Jesse and the expression written all over his face…Jesse hadn't said a single word to him after he’d realized Killian was Michael’s mate.Michael had been way too obvious. It must have been that.But then again, he hadn’t really done anything to betray any emotion or anything that might suggest his wolf was crazy about one of the most dangerous men out there

Instead, he said, trying to sound casual.“I just don’t understand how you suddenly decide you need one. ““Maybe because I don’t want my brains spilled all over the wall next time I have to go talk to your new friend- the mayor’s - pawns. ““If this bodyguard you are talking about is so efficient that you chose him over all of Garrey’s men, then why haven’t I seen you much with him lately? “Judging by the expression on Killian’s face, he had hit a nerve.“Maybe because he is constantly sent somewhere doing things I don’t know about. “ Killian fired back.“Ah…well…”Richard refilled their glasses.“It seems that one of Garrey’s men…ah, what was his name again, the junkie one with the strange hair…”Richard pretended to search for the name.“Jesse. “ Killian

Mike pressed harder, finishing with the cleaning of the wound and Jesse clenched his teeth, obviously  doing his best not to let out a sound. Mike opened the packet of the bandage and left it to the side.  It was hurting like hell, there was on doubt, but Mike was trying to be as careful as possible.  What was more important now, however, was to pretend he hadn’t heard what Jesse had asked.  Perhaps he’d asked it because he was still drunk, and the pain was making him dizzy.  Or he’d let the question slip accidentally.  “Were you undercover then too…” No, Mike tried not to think of this.  There

It was so -everywhere - kind of excitement, that it was somehow getting to Mike too.  The other reason was because all his senses and nerves were like naked wires because of everything going on recently, and also because it was all wolves favorite time of the lunar cycle- the full moon.  “I can’t believe we made it, bro. “  One of the guys patted Mike on the shoulder and grinned at him, “You’re a fucking beast!  “  “Yeah,  “another one added, and Mike thought : “Pun Not intended,

Mike acted before he could have thought better. He was already walking through the exit, and by now it was too late for everything- to change his mind, to get back inside, to do something, anything, whatever…. And Jesse had done all of this, everything was turning into a bigger and bigger mess.  Jesse had lied to him that he didn’t remember the kiss, and why had he…  “Damn it, “ Mike thought.
