Chapter Three

Keira stood staring at the bank statement in her hand. A large sum of money had been withdrawn from her account, and she knew it hadn’t been her doing. Who the hell had access to her trust fund? The answer flashed before her mind, but she just couldn’t comprehend her own brother stealing from her. She knew David had resented her from a very young age, and no matter how hard she’d tried to be his friend, he just kept pushing her away.

She couldn’t understand why he was stealing money from her. He was the only one who had access to her account, but she knew he had his own trust fund. Their parents had set up a fund for each of them, and there was more than enough money from the estate for anything they would ever need without ever having to touch their own money. She was going to find David and ask him why he had taken her money.

Keira moved through the house. It felt so empty and still without her parents here. They had been gone for nearly six years, and she still couldn’t get used to them not being around. She walked along the thick-carpeted hallway heading for David’s office. She loved the feel of the plush pile beneath her bare feet. She often walked around the house with no shoes or socks on. She stopped outside David’s office and raised her hand to knock on the door. She stopped her fist from connecting with the wood just in time. The door was slightly ajar, and she heard David talking on the phone to someone. He’d mentioned her name.

“Nah, Keira’s a dumb little bitch. She has no idea I’ve been using the estate money. No, I’ll deal with her. Besides, she doesn’t trust easily and she trusts me. She’s always trying to be nice and friendly to her only brother. I’ll have her out of the picture by the end of the week just like I did with our parents all those years ago.”

Keira didn’t hang around to hear the rest of the conversation. She rushed up to her bedroom, flung some clothes into a bag, grabbed a spare quilt and pillow, and took off. She stopped at the closest ATM, withdrew the daily limit, and didn’t look back.

Keira woke herself up whimpering and sobbing. It had been the same night after night since she had left her home in Seattle. She was shaking and sweating from the aftereffects of her nightmare, and she was so tired. She knew she wouldn’t be able to fall asleep again, so she turned on the bedside lamp, propped herself up on the pillows, and stared at the walls and ceiling. She’d come a long way from home and didn’t know what to do about her brother. She’d thought about going to the police and reporting him, but she had no idea what he was up to. He could be running drugs or weapons. All she knew was the brother she had worshipped wasn’t the man she’d thought he was. She didn’t think she could deal with the reality of sending her brother to jail, but she didn’t know what else to do. She pulled her legs up close to her body and rested her head on her knees. She’d been surviving on little sleep and knew it was catching up with her. She wanted nothing more than to roll over and sleep for a week, but she knew that wouldn’t happen.

By the time the sun began to lighten the sky, Keira was exhausted. Her eyes began to droop, and her body was aching from staying in one position for so long. She eased her legs down the bed and leaned back on the pillows. She would just rest for a moment, and then she would get up and get ready for her first day on the job. Her eyelids closed, and she went to sleep.

Keira jerked upright at the sound of her door opening.
Shit.
He’d found her. She was out of bed and across the room before her eyes were functioning. She had the bedside lamp in her hand but didn’t remember picking it up. She must have ripped the cord from the socket because the cord was dangling down and brushing against her leg. Her bleary eyes finally began to focus, and she stood staring at the three large Domain brothers.

“Are you all right, Karen?” Greg asked as he walked toward her. He gently took the lamp from her hand and put it back on the bedside table.

“Yes,” Keira squeaked, then paused to clear her throat. “Yes, I’m fine.”

“Are you sure, honey?” Jake asked.

“Yes. What are you doing here?” Keira asked the three men as they stared at her body. She could see the heat in their eyes and finally realized she was standing in front of them in nothing but her panties and a T-shirt. She crossed her arms over her breasts to hide the fact she was reacting to their presence. Her areolas prickled, and the skin puckered. Her nipples elongated, becoming two hard points.

“We came to check up on you when you didn’t come down to work. We were worried about you, baby,” Greg said and moved in closer to her. She saw his nostrils flare as he breathed deeply, and she could have sworn she saw his eyes flash.

Keira blinked as she stared at Greg, and then comprehension dawned. “What time is it?”

“Twenty after ten, honey,” Jake answered.

“Shit. I’m so sorry. I can’t believe I fell asleep again. If you leave I’ll get ready and be down in ten minutes.”

“Are you sure you’re okay, sweetheart?” Devon asked.

“Yes, thanks, I’m fine.”

“Okay, we’ll see you in a few, baby. Don’t rush, there’s nothing that important you have to do today,” Greg stated.

Keira watched as the three hot, sexy men left her room. When they were gone she scurried around the room getting her clothes and toiletries and headed for the bathroom. She was in and out of the shower in two minutes flat. She dressed and was downstairs before her ten minutes had passed. She hesitated in the doorway of the narrow stairwell and was glad when Jake appeared. She had no idea where she was supposed to meet him and his brothers. He had just saved her from searching him out.

“This way, honey,” Jake said and took her hand in his.

God, what is it about these men that has my libido revving?
She let Jake lead her down a hallway and into the kitchen of the club. There were several people already at work in the kitchen. The smell of freshly brewed coffee had her eyes searching for it. She spied a large pot warming on the counter.

Jake led her into the kitchen and introduced her to the other staff. Once that was done he grabbed a couple of mugs from a cupboard and held one up, silently questioning. At her nod of acceptance he poured the dark brew into the mugs and led her out of the kitchen. The club was bigger than it looked from the outside. He led her into a large room containing two desks and a sofa.

“Okay, let me show you how our software works, and I can leave you to it,” Jake stated.

Keira glanced toward Devon, who was sitting at the other desk, and Greg, who was sitting on the small sofa. He was so big he took up more than half of the two seats with his wide shoulders. She let Jake seat her at the desk, and then he pulled another chair up next to her. She felt him looking at her, but she kept her eyes on the computer monitor. He showed her the software and how they dealt with all the invoices and purchase orders. He took her through every aspect of the business, and she was impressed by how organized they were. She saw Devon leave the room from the corner of her eye, but didn’t think anything of it. He obviously had other things to do. She did wonder what Greg did though. He sat staring at her the whole time Jake was explaining things.

“Thanks, Jake. I think I have it now. It all looks pretty straightforward,” Keira said as Jake stood.

“I have a few things I need to be checking on. If you need me for anything, just come find me,” Jake said.

Keira sighed with relief when Jake left the room, Greg following behind. She had never been stared at like the way Greg did. It made her feel a little uncomfortable and uncertain. She pushed her thoughts aside, picked up the stack of invoices, and got down to work.

Devon met his brothers in one of the storage rooms off the side of the bar. He had called them telepathically. He had taken the opportunity of searching their mate’s room while she was busy with Jake. He had made sure not to move anything, and if he did, he put it back where it had been. She had so little clothing it broke his heart. He wondered how long she had been on the run. He was going to get to the bottom of this as soon as he informed his brothers what he had found out.

“Our mate’s real name is Keira O’Lachlan. She is from Seattle, Washington. From her address I’d have to say she’s from money. A lot of money, but I need to run a check on her, before I can say for certain.”

“Why don’t you go use the computer in the office where you can keep an eye on her?” Greg asked. “I’m going to contact our Alphas, Jonah, Mikhail, and Brock Friess, and see if I can use Chris to dig up anything he can on our little mate. I know he can find out things we would never be able to,” Greg stated.

“Okay, let me know if you two find out anything,” Jake said. “I have to go check on the orders that have just arrived.”

Devon left the storage room, his brothers on his heels as they all went to do their respective tasks. Devon hesitated in the doorway of the office and leaned against the doorjamb. He watched his little mate working at the computer, her brow furrowed with concentration. He saw the tip of her tongue peek out of her mouth and had to stifle a groan as his cock hardened. He could just see Keira down on her knees in front of him, her sweet lips wrapped around his hard shaft as she licked the head of his dick with that pink little tongue.

She looked up and smiled at him, her eyes still glazed from concentration. He saw her eyes run the length of his body, and they caught on his distended cock pushing against the zipper of his jeans. He smiled wider when red tinged her cheeks and she hurriedly looked away. Her eyes were now glued to the computer monitor, and he wanted to go over to her pick her up and wrap her in his arms. Instead, he walked into the room and sat at the desk a few feet away from her. He could smell the juices leaking from her pussy and had to restrain himself from laying her over his desk and burying his cock into her wet little cunt. Devon got down to work. He needed to know what was going on with his mate.

Chapter Four

“Jake, Devon, we need to meet up away from prying ears and eyes. Meet me out back,”
Greg commanded his brothers using their telepathic link. He needed to tell his brothers what he had found on their mate.

Greg couldn’t believe what Chris Friess, his Alphas’ cousin and Beta, had found out about his little mate’s adopted brother. David O’Lachlan was involved in a large prostitution ring. He and his cronies kidnapped helpless, innocent young women off the streets and sold them into sexual slavery. He was making millions of dollars supplying underworld mobsters with prostitutes and stealing money from Keira to help fund his exploits. Her brother was gambling heavily and had already gone through the estate trust fund as well as his own trust. He made bets of up to a million dollars at a time and needed his sister’s money for his gambling addiction.

The fact the women were being abducted made his blood boil. David was even suspected in the accidental death of Keira’s parents, but no solid evidence had been found, so the law hadn’t been able to touch the bastard. Keira was such a sweet little innocent and loved her brother even though he treated her like shit. Her brother had even stolen money from Keira’s trust account.

Their little Keira obviously knew something or had found out about David’s nefarious activities and bolted. Greg was so frustrated at her for not coming clean with them, but he knew he really didn’t have a say in her life, as yet. They’d only met her yesterday. He didn’t want her staying in the room above the club by herself anymore. He needed to feel that he could protect her. He and his brothers were going to have to figure out a way to get her into their home and bed. She was going to pitch a fit if he demanded she come back to the den with them. Maybe he and his brothers could stay over at the club on a rotational basis. But then she was going to wonder why they weren’t going home. Either way she was going to be suspicious. He needed to talk to his brothers so they could figure out what to do to keep their mate safe.

Greg stood outside, breathing in the scents around him. He couldn’t smell anything out of the ordinary, and he trusted his wolf senses, so he relaxed, waiting for his brothers. The back door to the club opened, his brothers moving toward him.

“What did you find out?” Jake asked.

“She’s on the run, all right,” Greg said and explained her brother’s nefarious business.
