His Dominant Omega by Jarrett, J. (feel good books .TXT) 📕

let out a low whistle. “I only met him that one time, but I could most definitely tell he wasn’t happy with me.”

“Yeah.” A dopey grin spread over his lips. It might make him a dick, but he liked knowing his mate got jealous. In a weird way it made Josef feel special.

“Thanks.” Jensen narrowed his eye and gave him a stern look. “I’m glad my humiliation and potentially getting my ass handed to me makes you smile like a love-sick teenager.”

Shit! He’d forgotten about that. Josef coughed into his fist. “About that, I’m sorry again. It was still really new between me and Cole, and when hormones are involved no telling what can happen.” He really hoped Jensen bought that excuse. It sounded better than saying he was pouting like a baby and decided to drown his sorrows by hooking up with another man.

“Yeah, I get it. But still”—Jensen took his eyes away from the road to look over at him—“what was up with that whole mine thing? The dude growled it at me. Freaked me out.”

Jensen didn’t know that he or any of the Carsten family were werewolves, and he didn’t plan on sharing that information. The less people who knew about it the better.

“What can I say, he’s a possessive sort.” He stifled a chuckle. If Cole heard him talking like this, he’d probably punch him in the gut. He was making Cole sound like some barbaric caveman.

“No shit.” Jensen pulled into the driveway and put his car into park but didn’t shut off the engine.

Josef opened the door and turned to look at Jensen. “You don’t want to come inside? I got a text from Devon and Viktor before we left, and they should be home any minute.”

“No, that’s all right. Tell them hi for me, but I really should be going.”

“Is this because of Cole?” He didn’t give Jensen a chance to respond. He reached over and pulled the keys from the ignition and climbed out the car.

“Hey!” Jensen hopped out and met him at the passenger side door. “Give me back my keys.”

Jensen went to swipe them out of his hand, and Josef raised them high above his head in the air. He was a good seven inches taller than Jensen, so it truly wasn’t a fair fight. “No, come in and say hi. I think it’d be good for you and Cole to be friends.”

“Why?” Jensen stopped jumping for the keys and crossed his arms over his chest.

“Because you and I work together a lot, and he’s my boyfriend. No matter what, we’re all in a relationship of sorts together. I want us to all be friends.” And he did. Since Jensen knew he had a boyfriend, he stopped the subtle flirting, and Josef actually really liked hanging around Jensen. He was laid back and easy to like.

Jensen pinched the bridge of his nose between his thumb and forefinger and let out a heavy sigh. “Fine, I agree. I really don’t want Cole to hate me or think I’m after you. I don’t poach other men’s boyfriends. That’s not the kind of person I am.”

“I know you’re not, and I think Cole would see that if he got to know you better.” Josef handed Jensen back his keys. “So what do you say? Want to come say hi?”

“Sure, why not.” Jensen pocketed his keys and followed Josef to the front door.

Josef was reaching for the door handle when a loud howl whipped through the night. Without a second thought he took off running around the house toward the backyard. He could hear Jensen calling out to him and chasing him around the side of the house.

Wild animals did roam their land, but that sounded different from any ordinary wolf. It was a wolf shifter.

As he reached the back deck he saw two white wolves, and right before his eyes they shifted, and Josef instantly recognized them. It was Cole’s brothers, Josh and Jake.

“Holy fuck!”

Josef silently cursed under his breath. He’d forgotten Jensen was behind him. When he heard the loud howl all he could think about was getting to Cole.

“Jensen, it’s okay.” Josef turned around and grabbed Jensen’s hand as he stumbled closer to Josef’s side.

“Josef?” Cole called out.

Josef used his head to wave his mate over to help him. Jensen looked to be on the verge of passing out.

“Oh boy.” Cole rushed to Jensen’s other side and helped Josef move Jensen toward the deck and into a chair.

When they got closer to Cole’s twin brothers, Jensen stopped and stared up at one of the brothers. Josef couldn’t tell which one was which, seeing as they were identical.

“You,” Jensen whispered as he stared up at one of the brothers. His voice shook when he spoke, and his skin felt clammy to the touch.

Josef looked from the twins back to Cole. Cole wore the same perplexed expression. He was about to say something when Jensen fell like a ton of bricks and headed toward the ground. Before he could move to catch the man, one of Cole’s brothers moved in and caught Jensen.

“I got him,” the twin said as he cradled Jenson close to his chest.

Josef pursed his lips as he stared at the faces around him. He had just gotten home, looking forward to a long weekend away with his mate and then all hell broke loose.

“Someone please tell me what the hell is going on here.” Josef gritted out the words.

“Josh?” Cole looked up to his brother as he held Jensen as if he were the most precious thing in the world.

“Not now,”
