Alaric scooped me up and carried me into the shower where Wyatt and Xander were, they were all trying to help me wash off but it was only reigniting my insides so I had to stop them. No matter how much I thought I’d adjusted to their size, I was always sore afterwards, and they were a bit rougher tonight than they had been before.
They were all surrounding me in a circle, towering over me as they decided whose turn it was to sleep next to me and Wyatt won out. He led me out as we got dried off and carried me into bed, laying me down facing him and gently kissing my mark before pulling one of my legs up to drape over him as we slept.
I woke up to him brushing the side of my face with his thumb, Xander running his hands down the length of my thigh and back up to my hips as he kissed my shoulder from behind me.
I started to walk towards Dez’s house hoping that he would be home, but Alaric grabbed my wrist and spun me around.“Stop,” Alaric lifted my chin, “let’s-”“No,” I cut him off, “I want some space to think.”“Brianna,” he stepped towards me so his chest was up against mine and used his Alpha voice, “come inside.”“No,” I repeated myself and ripped my wrist from him, turning to go find Dez, “I want to talk to my brother, you go talk to yours.”“You,” he was in front of me again, “little mate, will come back inside at once,” he was bulked up and rigid, Artemis told me he was trying to make me
BRIANNA’S POV My body knocked on Dez’s door a little harder than necessary and when he opened it he was clearly in a panic. “Love?” He studied my face and looked behind me, “Why aren’t the boys with you?” He dragged me inside and grasped my face in his hands, “That’s enough Artemis, it’s not time right now, let Brianna back out.” I felt a jolt run through my body, taking a huge breath in like I had been holding it in the whole time, all the pain flooding back to my chest as I dropped into Dez’s arms. “Love, what’s wrong? What happened?” Dez looked me over and was searching in my eyes for something. “They… they lied to me Dez,” was all I managed to stutter out before the tears started to flood my f
“Oh yea,” Dez joked, “all the boys are lined up at my door, I have one waiting in my bed right now.” “Oh!” I threw up my hands jokingly, “sorry for disturbing you, I’ll just take my ice cream and go.” “Uhh, your ice cream? No Love, not a chance,” he snatched the pint back from me, “don’t you have mates to get back to? Speaking of, you really are lucky they love you, because I know for a fact they are out there waiting for you, and my door is still intact.” “You think they love me?” I shook my head, “How do you know they are out there?” “Yes, just like you love them, what? You haven’t told them yet?” “No… That sounds crazy, you know? ‘Hey we just met a month ago and I love you,’” I rolled my eyes at him and snuck an
I woke up entangled, where some part of all three of them was holding me, and I had never felt as complete waking up as I did that morning. My eyes were starting to flutter and I could feel one of them tracing a heart over my birthmark on my right hip, Xander. “It looks like our mark,” Xander’s voice cooed as he kissed it and made me giggle. “It does,” I traced a finger over his mark, “do you have a birthmark that looks like the mark you gave me?” “I don’t think so Precious,” he nipped playfully at it, making me squeal and waking up the boys. “I could get used to waking up past noon,” I smirked. “Whatever the Luna wants,” Xander joked back.
“You got me something, again?” My face ached under the smile that formed as I looked up at Alaric.“Yes Dear,” he trailed the back of his finger down my face, “get used to it.”“Technically we got you three,” Wyatt swung my feet out from under me and carried me into the room before setting me down on the edge of the bed.“First,” Xander said handing me a box with a bow on it, “it has a new number,” he explained as I opened it to reveal a new cell phone, he was looking at me tentatively as Alaric was studying my face, “I already added your friends back in there and text them from it, so they aren’t still messaging your old phone.”“Thanks,” I smiled at them an
“So naughty Luna,” Alaric pushed him away from me and brought me back into the room as he shook his head at me, “you really must be meant for him, you’re both crazy,” he smirked at me, “we don’t have time for that before dinner Dear, try and think about something else before you really make his self-control snap.” “We’ll have to keep you two apart tomorrow,” Xander chuckled, “or the pack will be getting a show and then your secret will be out.” “What secret?” I raised my eyebrow at him. “That you have less self-control than Wyatt does Precious,” he smirked, “it’s like a game to you to see how far you can stretch his line, and let me tell you, here he may hold back but out there, he will claim you without hesitation.” “You’re supposed to be helping Xander,” Alar
"Oh," my face was instantly heated, I knew that I was a big deal to them but I couldn’t really understand still, "well I hope I live up to their expectations.""They expect nothing," Alaric stated, "they are just excited to meet you, you have nothing to live up to," he kissed my temple."And your brother will become part of the pack as well I hear," Barrett joined in, though he was half avoiding looking at me, and certainly not making eye contact."Yes, Dez and I weren't part of any pack before this, so I know he's happy to finally belong somewhere as well," I was mainly looking at Larissa with a smile.We sat and ate for a bit longer as Barrett was telling the boys all about some kind of security measures, he thought they should implement, that he had seen on his
"I didn't, I don't know how to do that," my voice was still timid as I stared at Wyatt who was grinning at me as he swept his thumb across my jawline. "You did," Xander turned me to face him, "I could feel you roll the power off of you Precious, it was enough to even make me take notice." "He's the old Alpha, you shouldn't have been able to make him submit," Alaric spun me to him and was looking genuinely curious at me, "we can't even make him do that," he paused and my forehead was becoming tense as I tried to reconcile what they were saying to me. He lifted my chin and kissed my forehead, instantly relaxing it, "Walk us through what happened when he apologized, because it was instant the way he submitted to you." "Maybe he did it as his form of apology?" Alaric thought about it for a moment as he looked at Xand
