“Kai, you don’t have to. It’s not the heat,” I said, but he ignored me, kissing down to my still pulsing pussy. He kissed it before going to the bathroom.
“Don’t move.”
I raised a brow and leaned up on my elbows.
“Kai?”
“I said don’t move.” He shook his head with a smile. We both knew it didn’t matter what he said; if I didn’t want to do it, I probably wasn’t going to do it.
He used a warm linen cloth to wipe the sweat from my body. He rinsed it out in the bowl he brought with him, cleaning up his cum.
I lay back, watching, my heart in my throat as he cleaned me up. He kept going until I was sated, clean, and happy before he grabbed some oil from a glass bottle next to the bed.
“Isn’t that lube?” I smirked.
He nodded. “Turn over.”
“Don’t move, turn over. So bossy, Kai.”
He grinned before flipping me because I wasn’t doing as he asked. I laughed and lay down on my stomach as he smacked his hand across my ass. I sucked in a breath at the sting, then looked over my shoulder at him.
“Just one?” I teased, shaking my ass at him.
“For now.” He smiled back, and the light in his eyes made me feel all kinds of warmth. It had been a while since he’d worn that so freely. I did as he asked and lay down on my stomach, not moving, moaning when he poured the oil onto me and started massaging.
He covered me from head to toe in oil, massaging my shoulders, my back, my legs, and my ass until I was more relaxed than I’d been in, well, forever. I almost fell asleep there, letting him turn my body and heart to mush.
He whispered sweet nothings as he worked, kissing my head and cheek every now and then.
I had been missing more than I’d thought.
We hadn’t had a chance to enjoy all being mated, Brax included, and that was on me. I should have given us time for this.
Even though I was with Kai, I knew Derik and Brax were there, hovering in the link.
The connection was so much stronger, their desire and love so bright there, brighter than it had been in over a week.
I hadn’t realized how important it was, how much we needed to put in to keep the mating connection at its best. I knew now.
“I’m sorry,” I said, stopping him and turning so I could look at him, emotion filling me, tears prickling in my eyes. He shook his head.
“Don’t be. We’re here now, we got him back. It was worth it,” Kai reassured, but I still felt bad that I’d had them all at arm’s length, tunnel vision clouding my decisions.
“I should’ve been more present in the link. I didn’t realize how this works. I do now,” I admitted, and he kissed me, pulling me into him. Not in a sexual way–more comforting–but our bodies were quick to respond despite that not being the point.
“You’re new to this, we knew that. We wanted him back too, Little Luna. We’re okay now,” he said, holding me against him and kissing the top of my head. Stray tears fell, and I stroked his chest, the dark golden skin glistening from the oil I was putting over him.
“Lie down,” I said, sitting up. He frowned and raised a brow.
“You look mischievous.”
“On your stomach. I want to look after you too,” I said, and both eyebrows raised.
“You already do, Little Luna,” he said, leaning in for a kiss. I met his mouth and gave him a taste before pulling back.
“Please?”
He didn’t answer, just lay down on the bed, on his stomach. I grabbed the oil and climbed over him, pouring some on his back, his muscles flexing under the cold.
Then I pressed my hands into him, kneading the muscles into relaxation the way he had with me. I’d never given a massage before, especially not with a naked alpha who was almost double my size, but the sounds he made gave me confidence.
He groaned as my thumbs dug into his shoulder blades before stroking down the sides of his spine. I used my elbows on the tough spots before pressing my palms into his ass, working the muscles there too.
Once I had gone over his legs and moved back up his body, he rolled us, flipping me onto the blankets before finding my mouth and covering it with kisses that burned my body up.
“I wasn’t finished,” I murmured against him, and he grinned, pulling back slightly.
“Keep touching me like that and making my wolf extremely proud to be your mate, then we’re not going to be leaving this bedroom anytime soon, and I need to feed you,” he said before climbing off the bed, tugging me with him.
I smiled and kissed him as he carried us to the bathroom. He got a bath ready as I climbed in and waited for him. He was with me in a second, cleaning me off properly.
I should have been going to get food, but I kissed him again, and then I was on his cock, riding it slowly in the water. It was different though, not like before with the need so desperate in us both that we couldn’t slow down.
This time, we took our time. I kissed him, caressed him, played with him as he did the same. The finish line was a much neater affair as I buried my face into his neck, holding him as he held me, crushing each other as our orgasms swept us away.
It was just as intense as last time though, stealing my breath as I tried to contain the screams, whispering out his name as he kissed my shoulder.
He held my face, and I licked my lips, holding his wrists.
“This will be over, and we will be happy,” he promised, and I gave him a soft smile.
“I am happy, Kai. Just scared.”
“We all are. But the vamps haven’t attacked. Either your buddy system is working and the bloodlust isn’t hitting them like last time, or this is the calm before the storm.”
“That’s what I’m worried about,” I sulked, leaning against him, trying not to give in to the doubt that plagued me. It was the nagging pit in my stomach that told me something was coming, that this wasn’t over, and we had so much more to go through.
I wasn’t sure if that meant there would be a happy ending or if the wolves would belong to the vamps by the end of it. All I knew was that I would die before I let anything hurt Zale and Enzi again.
“Let’s go eat, Little Luna. It’s no good wallowing on an empty stomach,” he said, standing up, taking me with him as he stepped out of the bath. He put me on the ground and wrapped me in a towel before tapping my ass out the door.
I grinned over my shoulder at him, ignoring the worries that filled me and trying to focus on the dulled happiness that my alphas and my babies gave me.
I had to, or I’d lose myself to those worries, and after feeling what I had with Kai, I knew I wouldn’t be just destroying myself. I’d break us all.
6. The Doubt
LORELAI
I sat at the dining hall, the pack causing chaos over the long, full table, drinking ale and wine. I was with my alphas and our heirs. The babies were happy, content, warm, full of love and life.
It was the perfect scene, and yet all I could think about was how much it gave me to lose. I looked at Brax, who was holding Enzi, then down at Zale, who was snuggled into my arms, not caring that the room was loud and roaring.
I had done it; I had gotten him back, and yet, I couldn’t fall into the happy bliss that the pack could. The vampires could attack at any time. The beast could take a while to take Adrenna down. It was a lot.
Derik leaned down to me, his lips brushing my ear.
“Take the happiness where it is offered, beautiful. Even if it doesn’t last, it reminds us what we fight for,” he said. I nodded, kissing him, needing the comfort. He kissed back, his hand holding the side of my face before breaking away.
“Shouldn’t we be getting a plan together for getting to Silas? He tried to take Zale; he orchestrated all of this hell we’ve been going through,” I said, anger coiling through me. Derik smiled and shook his head.
“No. He’s calculated, thinking, plotting, and deciding every outcome. When he comes for us, we want to be that ready too. If we go in there with nothing more than anger and a half-assed revenge plan, then we will die, and he will get everything he wanted handed to him,” Derik explained, which he shouldn’t have had to.
I knew he was right; that what he said was everything I had told myself already, but it didn’t help the need to take him out.
“That’s your wolf, Spitfire. Just gotta learn how to tame it,” Brax said, eating his roast meal with an urgency I should share. But I didn’t. I picked at the potatoes before sipping the wine instead.
I looked over at Mom, smiling up at Galen, who had a smirk on his face. Beenie was even out of her princess tower, sitting at the table with them and Cain. She looked uncomfortable, but she kept eating, staying as close to Cain as possible.
He was talking low to her, whispering in her ear as she tried to hold back her smile.
Then they shared a look I recognized, and I turned away to give them their moment.
My eyes went to Ryleigh and Vaughn, sitting with the humans. She was so round with her pregnancy nearing the end. Vaughn was putting more on her plate, kissing her cheek, checking her comfort, refilling her water, and doting on her like he should.
All of them held something inside me, a grip, a vice, a weakness. They were all ways to get to me. Then there was the pack. I was so connected to them now.
I felt their overall emotions, but I could home in on them too, tell when there was a stronger feeling than the others, like pain or sadness, and it affected me too.
If they were hurt, I would hurt. Which is why it was easy to fill them with my magic, and it worked, but it was also another point that Silas could target.
I clenched my jaw, leaning back in the large throne chair I was in, looking at my three alphas, Brax on one side, Derik, and then Kai on the other.
They were happy for now too, and I savored the feeling, letting it fill me and take over the need for revenge that was sending me into another spiral. I didn’t need another one of those when I had just gotten out of one.
