either be really good for us, or really bad. With Mareo it was a fifty-fifty shot if his plans worked or if it made things worse for us.
    I prayed to the gods it was that the plan worked this time. We couldn’t lose our mate.

Chapter 2
     
    Mareo
     
    I knew Foma had questions but we didn’t have much time. Dinner was in a few hours and for this to work we needed to hurry. I gave him a wink as we jogged along, trying to reassure him I had everything in hand. To be honest, I didn’t. This would either epically work or epically fail.
    I was praying for the first.
    “Jordy, we need a favor,” I said as I found the man we’d been looking for.
    “Are you sure about this?” Foma hissed at me, figuring out the plan.
    “I’m open to suggestions if you’ve got another idea,” I shot right back before focusing on our cute little friend and sometimes bedmate. “We need your help, sweetness.”
    “I have some work I need to do but then I can help you,” Jordy replied shyly, his eyes filling with lust.
    “Oh, hun,” I whispered. I pulled him out of the main hallway and down a deserted corridor, Foma following. I cupped Jordy’s cheek, wincing when he pursed his lips. “No, Jordy. I’m sorry. We need your help because we think we’ve found our other mate.”
    “Oh, congratulations,” he mumbled, hurt filling his eyes as embarrassment heated his cheeks. “What do you need from me? What can I do to help? I’m just liaison to the local wolf pack.”
    “Yes, but we found out that wolf blood can help us open up a vampire and drive up their lust,” I hedged as I ran my fingers through Jordy’s soft black hair. “We need your help. The man isn’t staying long and something’s holding him back. We need to spur him past the fear into need and desire mode so he’ll admit everything to us. He won’t go to another for his needs if his mates are here. No man of honor would do that.”
    “You want me to help you get your mate drunk with my blood?” Jordy gasped, pulling away from me. “No, I won’t do that.”
    “Please, Jordy?” Foma begged quietly. “I’m not a fan of this either but we’re desperate. We can’t smell our mates like you guys can. He’s given us every sign he is but we can’t just call him a liar. He’s good friends with the King. We’re just going to give him a little bit to help loosen him up.”
    Jordy worried his lower lip for a moment, glancing between us. “You said this man isn’t from here. Is he one of the visitors from America?”
    “Yes and they’re only staying a few days,” I answered.
    “I’ll help you but will you help me?”
    “Of course. We would have even if we weren’t asking this of you. You know that, Jordy,” Foma said gently. “What’s going on?”
    “You weren’t in a position to help me before,” he explained, shaking his head. “I want out of my pack and far, far away from here. Being liaison is the only thing that’s helped but I want out of Greece. If you end up with your mate and go back to America, will you help find an Alpha who would accept me into his pack? Mine won’t let me leave and no one wants to go against him around here. But that far away, they might not care.”
    “You have our word we’ll help. We can ask our Queen either way, Jordy. We’ll figure out something,” I said firmly. I didn’t know what was going on and it wasn’t my place to ask for the full story, but Jordy was a sweetie and wouldn’t ask for assistance lightly. I might just put in a call to Magdalena anyways.
    “Thank you,” he sighed in relief. “Yes, you can have my blood. Just don’t tell anyone you got it from me. I don’t need to be in any more trouble than I seem to always be in.”
    “Why didn’t you tell us, Jordy? We could have given you sanctuary,” Foma asked gently.
    “Wolf business is supposed to stay with wolves.” Our little friend shrugged.
    “Fuck that,” I growled, cupping his cheek. “We take care of our friends. Go with Foma.
