“Don’t you start with me,” I told him.
“Ashlyn?”
“Yeah, Ian?”
“Thank you for this,” he said.
“Anytime, Ian. I’m always here if you need me.” I told him, meaning every word.
“I’ll let you go. I just wanted to make sure you were okay,” he said.
“Thank you Ian. Hopefully, I’ll see you next week.” I told him, before ending the call.
Sighing, I finally stood up from bed to go find my babies. I didn’t expect Ian to call or to tell me that Ava had marked him. Ian is such a better person with her and it made me jealous that he couldn’t be that way with me. I had to remind myself that I’m happy with my life now, and I am, but there was a part of me that wanted to spend my life with Ian. Fuck, feelings are hard.
I found everyone in the living room. Gabby was sitting on the floor with James. He was having some tummy time, and she was showing him all the fun games on the tablet. I sat down beside her, putting James in my lap, holding him tight. Mason and Derek were both watching me while I watched Gabby play her game. James had found his toes and was playing with them.
“Babygirl, what’s wrong?” Derek asked me.
“I’m just tired.” I told him, giving him a small smile.
“Baby, we can feel you,” Mason said, and I sighed.
“Ian called while I was getting my card so I could do some shopping,” I told them.
“And that is why you feel weird?” Derek asked me.
“I invited Ava and him out here next weekend.” I said.
“And?” Mason pushed.
“And nothing. He was calling to see how I was doing. Jax is having a hard time accepting Ava. He really misses Tundra.” I told them.
“And you?” Derek said, and I nodded.
“And me. Ava marked Ian, but Jax wasn’t ready to mark her,” I said.
“And that’s why you feel weird. He’s marked.” Mason said, and I felt he was upset.
“Its not like that, Mason. I’m happy for him and I love my life with the four of you. Ian and I are no longer the same people we were. I don’t know, it’s hard to explain,” I told him.
“She’s upset because he wouldn’t change for her.” Sage said, coming into the living room and taking a seat on the other couch.
“How long have you been listening?” I asked her.
“Is she right?” Derek asked me.
“Maybe, I don’t know. I’m probably just tired and overthinking.” I sighed.
“You feel you weren’t good enough for him to change?” Derek asked. And I didn’t answer him.
“Baby?” Mason asked, sighing. I nodded.
“Its weird because with him not changing, I met you and then Derek, but it still stings.” I admitted.
“He’s an idiot to think that he could do better than you, even if he found his mate,” Sage said.
“Really, Sage?” I chuckled.
“Its just like these two. They could never do better than you. Also, Brandon could never do better than me. We are just so fantastic.” She giggled. I laughed, shaking my head.
“Babygirl, why would you invite him here, if that’s how you feel?” Derek asked me.
“To normalize things, I guess. And I want to meet Ava and I am glad that she could get him to grow up. Feelings just suck.” I answered.
“Look at you being all mature.” Sage teased.
“Mom, I like this.” Gabby said, pulling me from my conversation with the others. I looked down at the tablet to see her pointing at a mermaid bed set.
“I love it, sweetie. Did you and auntie Sage find anything else?” I asked her and she nodded, trying to pull up the internet browser.
“Baby, come sit down.” Mason said, moving over on the couch. He patted the space between him and Derek. I stood up with James and sat down between them.
“Gabby?” Mason said, getting her attention. She stood up, still holding the tablet, and climbed into Mason’s lap. Gabby started showing him all the things that she and Sage found.
Derek wrapped his arms around me and James, pulling me to his side.
“I understand, Babygirl.” He whispered, kissing my temple. James leaned forward, sucking on Derek’s forearm.
“I think he’s hungry.” Derek chuckled, and I laughed.
“Or someone doesn’t like it when daddy touches his momma.” I giggled.
“If I didn’t touch your momma, little man, you wouldn’t be here.” Derek told James, and we all laughed, except Gabby, who wasn’t paying any attention to us.
“Gabby, you and Mason should find the Fae Princess a birthday gift. We are going to her birthday party in a few days. I’m just going to get James’ feed and in bed and then we can have dinner. Okay?” I asked her, and she nodded.
“What does she like? I don’t think I have time to make her anything?” Gabby said, looking up at me.
“I’m sure she’ll love anything you make or buy for her.” I told her, kissing her forehead. Kissing Mason before, I stood up with James, making my way into the kitchen, with Derek following me.
“You’re so go with her.” He told me, taking James from me so I could make a bottle.
“I know how it is to lose your parents. And I just want her to feel as much love as possible.” I told him, while getting the bottle ready.
“You’re doing a fantastic job, momma wolf dragon.” He chuckled, coming over to me, kissing my cheek.
“And Sage is right. Anyone who thinks they can do better than you is an idiot.”
A magical interruption
Mason
I spent the afternoon with Gabby, ordering her everything that she pointed at. I probably shouldn’t have, but I couldn’t help it. She has been through so much. I know what Ashlyn meant by Gabby being hers; she felt like mine as well. We may not share blood, but she was my daughter. Gabby made our family feel complete. She hasn’t asked me to call me dad yet, but hopefully she’ll feel more comfortable soon. I love hearing her call Ashlyn mom, and I love seeing them together, with James. Gabby loves James so much already, always trying to help us take care of him. And she loves to play with him.
It was almost bedtime and Ashlyn was putting Gabby to bed while I got some work done. Laying in bed, I was going through emails while I waited for my mates to come join me in bed. I wasn’t getting much done since I was thinking about how Ashlyn was feeling earlier. I understand how she was feeling, even if it stung. It hasn’t even been a year since their relationship ended. And as soon as she’s gone, that’s when he changes. I can see why she thinks she wasn’t enough for him. But she is more than enough for Derek and I, she is too good for us. I see her with our babies and I’m just so thankful that she is my mate and the mother to our kids.
She really is an alpha and a Luna all in one. She is strong, protective, but caring and motherly. Ashlyn always tried to make sure that everyone was safe before her. We may think that she is restless, but that’s just who she is. And she definitely keeps us on our toes.
Derek came out of the shower, wrapped in a towel, while I thought about our mate and how my life had changed. I was so lost in thought that I jumped when Derek laid his head on my chest, making him chuckle.
“What the hell are you thinking about?” He asked me. I moved my arm to wrap around his shoulders, while he rested an arm over my bare stomach.
“Just about why Ashlyn was so upset earlier.” I sighed as he traced my abs with his fingertips.
“Does it bother you she still has feelings for him?” He asked me.
“No, it bothers me that she feels like she wasn’t good enough for him.” I told him.
“She’s clearly too good for any of us.” He said, and I chuckled.
“That’s what I was just thinking. She’s the alpha and Luna of our pack. We might think she’s restless, but she’s just doing what she feels is right to keep her pack safe.” I told him and he nodded against my chest.
“How the hell did we get so lucky?” He mumbled, and I chuckled.
“I know, right? As much as that woman drives me crazy, I wouldn’t have it any other way.” I told him and he looked up at me.
“Not just with her. I got lucky with you too, Mason.” He said, leaning up, crushing his lips to mine. We were deep into tasting each other when I heard our bedroom door open and close. I pulled away from Derek to see Ashlyn staring at us.
“Don’t let me stop you.” She said, playing with her lips. Through the bond, I could feel how turned on she was.
“You can always join us.” Derek purred at her. And she stripped off her clothes. Watching her strip made me painfully hard, already hard from Derek.
“Don’t you owe Mason something?” Derek smirked at her.
“You want to help?” She moaned at him, pulling back the blanket. Derek was naked beside me, his cock digging into my thigh.
She climbed up my body from the bottom of the bed, nipping my shaft through my boxes. My hand found the back of her head as I bucked my hips into her face. Ashlyn looked up at me through her eyelashes, smirking. Jesus, this woman is sexy.
Derek nipped at my hip while Ashlyn slid down my boxers, my cock springing free. She maintained eye control as she licked the pre-cum off the tip, causing me to groan.
“Fuck, baby.” I groaned, throwing my head back into the pillows. I could feel Derek sucking on my hip. My other hand found the back of his hand and I realized how much I loved his touch on my body.
Ashlyn started bobbing her head, my cock hitting the back of her throat as she deep throated me. She found a good rhythm and I was so close. Her mouth left my cock, I missed her touch, when Derek’s mouth wrapped around my tip. Groaning, Ashlyn sucked one of my balls into her mouth. I felt like I was about to cum as Derek bobbed his head and Ashlyn sucked harder, digging her nails into my hips. Groaning as each ribbon of my cum hit the back of Derek’s throat as my orgasm ripped through me, goosebumps covering my body.
Derek removed his mouth and Ashlyn replaced it with hers as she made sure I was clean before she kissed her way up my body. She was straddling me by the time she reached her mark, kissing and nipping my skin. I was instantly hard again as she rolled her hips down, coating my cock in her wetness that seeped from her pussy.
Derek moved up, kissing up Ashlyn’s arm. She was moaning as my tip rubbed against her clit. She moved her hands to my shoulders, grinding hard against me. Her hand moved over my mark and a purple light engulfed her body. I watched as the purple of her eyes dulled until she collapsed on my chest. I looked at Derek, and he looked just as panicked as I felt. What the hell happened?
“Baby?” I yelled, rolling her off of me. I pushed my ear into her chest and her heart was still beating.
