Serengeti Lightning ss-3

Michael groaned and made a halfhearted move to get up, but Mara’s body draped over his torso kept him down. “We’d better go tell Landon about the shitstorm I’ve brought down on our heads.”
“The humans?” Mara licked the rain off Michael’s neck with a slow sweep of her tongue. The storm had passed, leaving only a lingering dampness in the air. “Do you think they know what they saw?”
“Whether they did or not, we have to be ready.”
Michael rubbed his hand in a circle against the small of her back, and she closed her eyes to live in the touch. Even the sobering thought of exposure to the human world couldn’t completely dampen Mara’s spirits. “Will they come after us, do you think?”
Her head was pillowed on his shoulder and she felt him shrug. “I doubt it. It was a bar. People were drinking. By tomorrow they’ll all be rationalizing away what they thought they saw.”
Mara sat up so she could look into his eyes. The impossibly blue eyes. “How can you be sure?”
His lips curved in a familiar lazy grin, melting her from the inside out. “The Fates must love me,” he said. “I’ve got you.”
Epilogue
Dawn was breaking by the time the Three Rocks’ Alpha and his mate crawled into bed, after the emergency meeting to discuss the night’s developments.
Landon curled around his wife, breathing in her scent. “As glad as I am that your brother has landed his dream girl, it would have been nice if he could have managed it without the public display,” he muttered against her skin.
Ava shifted restlessly in his arms. “You don’t seem worried.”
“No sense borrowing trouble. The humans will come or they won’t. Only time will tell.” Landon soothed his mate, stroking her hair. “We’ll deal with the next crisis as it comes.”
For several moments, only soft rustling sounds disturbed the quiet of the Alpha’s bungalow. Then, “Do you think they’ll be happy, Landon? Michael is so much younger than she is.”
A soft growl rumbled in the Alpha’s throat. “Is your brother older than you?”
“A year.”
“Are you unhappy with your old mate?”
“You aren’t old. And you know I couldn’t be happier.”
“Is your brother fickle?”
“Michael? God, no.”
“Then stop worrying about him. If you want to worry about someone, try my sister.”
“Zoe?” A soft laugh. “She can take care of herself.”
“That’s what I’m worried about,” the Alpha grumbled.
Silence fell again, broken only by Ava’s soft sigh, as both the Alpha of the Three Rocks pride and his mate took a moment to forget their worries. Until the next crisis arose.
