Marabella POVI snuggled against him as he nuzzled me, and I swore I could hear him purr, a rumble in his chest making me smile.“So that’s how to turn you mushy? Give you a big old snuggle?” Jordan grinned and held me tighter.“Only if it’s you doing the snuggling. Jayden and Brax can keep their snuggles to themselves.”He laughed beneath me. I did too, pulling back slightly so I could look at him.“Damn, and there goes my fantasies of watching you three together,” I said.Jordan raised a brow, his eyes wide. “That’s a fantasy of yours?”I shrugged. “Could be fun. I mean, you three watch me all the time; seems like it’s my turn.”Jayden teased in our link. “What kind of mates would we be if we didn’t give her everything she fantasizes about?” I laughed. Of course, he was there for it.“I’m not having this conversation through the link. We’ll talk later. For now, I have to take Marabella up to Cain to talk to Tabitha,” Jordan said. Brax tensed, stepping back from the link.Jayden said
Marabella POVHe didn’t relent, making a meal of my soaked pussy, keeping me from thinking or even breathing properly. I grabbed a fistful of his hair and yanked; I needed more.But he held on, gripping my thighs in his strong hands, giving me the last few strokes of his tongue I needed to let go. My orgasm crashed through me, destroying me with swift swells of pleasure. The fire turned everything inside me into a liquid that he drank like a sweet nectar made of the finest grapes, cleaning me up as I shuddered above him.“Fuck, I’ve missed how you taste,” he breathed, wiping his mouth before lifting me onto the vanity. “Jayden is the one who finds fucking in places other than the bed some kind of addiction, but I am starting to see the appeal. Despite being unsanitary, the allure is in the idea of getting caught,” he muttered, kissing along my collarbone as he peeled my clothes off.“I think the allure is you alphas and your talent for making me need you inside me at all moments of th
Marabella POVThose words meant everything to me. I let him know how proud I was in the link, then made sure the rest of the pack were agreeable. By the time I finished healing him, he’d be a part of us, and I had to make sure they were okay with it before I did.Jordan and Jayden were in there too, Brax hanging back so he could concentrate on the twins and sensing everything around them, but I knew he was okay with it.Anything that protected them was worth it all.The pack seemed to think so too because they agreed, warmth spreading through my veins at the agreement, the overwhelming support they gave me had me taking a shuddery breath.“Thank you,” I whispered, then looked up as Jayden and Jordan bent down in front of the beast who was staring at them.“Do you understand what’s happening?” Jordan asked, and the beast nodded.“We’re letting you become a part of us; we are a family, and the pack’s interests will always come first, do you understand?” Jayden said. The beast hesitated
Marabella POV Everyone tensed as the beast ran up to the gates. His giant body skidded to a halt in front of us. The pack growled and snarled, but I told them to stop, stepping forward.The beast was covered in blood, its sparse fur coat matted, and there were cuts all over him. And bite marks.“What happened to you?” I asked quietly as the beast whined.“Is the witch dead?” Jayden demanded. The beast snarled at him.“We need to know,” I said to it in a softer tone, but it growled and shook its head.My chest tightened, a heaviness sinking in my stomach. I turned, my eyes meeting Brax’s in the nursery window.He nodded and stepped back, shutting the curtains, then closing the shutters. He would protect them; his shadows would close the room off. I trusted that, but being away from them and knowing Adrenna was out there was still making me panic.I stepped forward, but Jordan grabbed my arm.“You are close enough,” he hissed, and I scowled at him but didn’t fight him.Instead, I turne
Marabella POVIt was a smooth transition, and Jordan was probably the most natural with them. He knew what they needed and had learned their cues fast.Of course, Zale was harder to read since he was always tuning into Enzi too, but we were all having to learn about him. The chance had been stolen from us so early on. Remembering it had my heart cracking.“He’s safe. He’s here with us now, they both are,” Jordan reassured softly, and I nodded.“I know,” I breathed, leaning back in the seat and closing my eyes for a second. I was so tired, not physically but mentally. All the stress and worry were so heavy to wear all the damn time.“I just want this over with. I want to deal with Silas, and I want us safe,” I said.“We will,” Jordan replied.“Soon?”“How soon is soon for a vampire?”“So we wait until Karma bites them? What if we get bitten first?” I demanded.“We’ve just got to be prepared in case it happens. Keep our wolves and humans strong, training, protecting until the vamps get
Marabella POVI didn’t think it was possible to go against them, and if we tried it, I’m sure we’d pay the price, but if there was anything that had a chance of it? I would assume it is Silas,” Jordan explained.I huffed. “And are they going to do anything about him? To help us take him out?”“We’re not sure. Tabby thinks he has been clever and made sure everyone else does his dirty work so that his hands stay clean, and they have nothing to interfere over.”“He let Adrenna out.”“No. Your father said the word. Adrenna attacked. Elias took the sacrifices. Your brother took Zale. Silas—according to their archaic maintenance of the balance—is not at fault,” Jordan said, his voice hard and filled with the same anger that pulsed in every heavy beat of my heart.He was going to get away with everything?“So we meet with him, find out why he’s doing this.”“He won’t respond to any forms of communication.”“So he’s purposely letting us wonder.”“Seems so,” Jordan chewed slowly, apparently ha
