"You mentioned wanting to understand the bond better," he said. "We have books. Research. Histories of mate bonds. You could read. Learn. Understand what's happening to you."

So she was in the library.

Surrounded by books about supernatural bonds. Mate connections. The biology and magic of fated pairs.

Aiden sat across from her. Working on his own things. But available if she had questions.

    Later that afternon, Aiden hadsuggested they spend time at the library."You mentioned wanting to understand the bond better," he said. "We have books. Research. Histories of mate bonds. You could read. Learn. Understand what's happening to you."So she was in the library.Surrounded by books about supernatural bonds. Mate connections. The biology and magic of fated pairs.Aiden sat across from her. Working on his own things. But available if she had questions."This is insane," she said after reading for an hour. "According to this book, mate bonds can form across species. Across ages. Across impossible distances.""Yes," Aiden said without looking up from his work."And the bond is permanent. Once formed, it never breaks. Even if the mates are separated.""Correct.""So even if I left. Even if I went back to my mother and never saw you again. The bond would still be there. Pulling at me. Making me ache for you.""Yes." He looked up now. "That's why we said leaving would hurt. The bo

    Melina's POV She woke up in her old room.Not Alaric's room. Not Aiden's. Not Archer's.Her old room on the third floor. The one she'd occupied when she first arrived as "Sera Daniels."They'd moved her things back overnight. All of them. From three different rooms back into one space.Her space.There was a note on the nightstand.Good morning. Breakfast is at nine if you'd like to join us. If not, we'll have something sent up. Your choice. - AYour choice.She looked at the clock. Eight-fifteen.She had forty-five minutes to decide if she wanted to have breakfast with them or not.The old Melina, the one from a week ago, would have refused out of spite. Would have stayed in her room just to prove she could.But she got up. Showered. Dressed in her own clothes from her own closet.Looked at herself in the mirror.She looked tired. The events of the full moon still visible in the faint bruises on her skin. The bite mark on her shoulder from Archer already fading but still there.Evid

    "This is a test," she said. "You're testing whether I'll stay.""No." Alaric's voice was firm. "This is us giving you real power. Real choice. What you do with it is up to you."She stood up. Walked to the window. Looked out at the grounds.She could leave. Could walk out the door. Could go back to her mother. Could rebuild her life.The contract would be dissolved. The obligation would be gone. She'd be free.But the bond...The bond would hurt. Would pull at her. Would make every day away from them feel wrong.And next month, when the full moon came, they'd suffer without her. She'd feel it. Would know they were in pain. Would know she could help but chose not to.Could she live with that?"This is cruel," she said quietly. "Giving me this choice. Making me decide between my freedom and your suffering.""This is fair," Alaric corrected. "This is you getting to choose what your life looks like. Not us choosing for you."She turned to look at them."If I stay," she said slowly. "If I

    "I'm not forgiving.""You're still here." Aiden's voice was quiet. "Still in this bed. Still touching us. Still checking to make sure we're okay. That looks like forgiveness to me.""That's not forgiveness. That's exhaustion. I'm too tired to fight.""Then rest." Alaric stood up. "I'll have food brought up. You need to eat. Recover. Take care of yourself.""I can take care of myself...""Let us take care of you." His voice was firm. "You took care of us all night. Now it's our turn."He left before she could argue.***An Hour LaterThey'd showered. Separately. Melina had insisted.Now she was in clean clothes...her clothes from Alaric's closet....sitting on the couch in his sitting room. Food laid out on the coffee table.All three brothers were there. Dressed. Looking normal. Like last night had never happened.She picked at her food. Not hungry. Too much in her head."We need to talk," she said finally."About?" Alaric asked."About what happens now. About what last night means. Ab

    Melina's POVShe woke up slowly.Body aching. Sore everywhere. Between her legs. Her hips. Her shoulders where Archer had bitten her.The memories crashed back.The collapse. The desperation. The way she'd helped all three of them through the night. The positions. The intensity. The absolute necessity of it all.She opened her eyes.Morning light streaming through the windows. She was still in the center of the bed. Still surrounded.Alaric was awake. Sitting up against the headboard. Watching her."Good morning," he said quietly.She looked at him. Really looked at him.He looked better. Completely better. No fever. No pain lines. No exhaustion. Like the curse had never happened."How do you feel?" she asked. Her voice was hoarse."Better than I have in nine years." His hand touched her hair gently. "Thanks to you."She looked at the other side of the bed. Aiden was still asleep. So was Archer at the foot of the bed."What time is it?" she asked."Almost nine. You slept for about sev

    Archer groaned from the floor.He was the worst. Still on the floor. Barely conscious.She went to him. Dropped to her knees beside him."Archer. Archer look at me."He couldn't. His eyes were closed. His breathing shallow.Terror shot through her. "Archer please...."She stripped him. Pulled off his clothes with shaking hands.Then she positioned herself over him. On the floor. Carpet rough under her knees.Took him inside her even though he wasn't fully hard. Wasn't responding."Come on," she whispered. "Come on Archer please...."She moved. Desperate now. The bond screaming at her. He needed more. Needed all of her.She leaned down. Pressed her body against his completely. Skin to skin everywhere she could manage.Her lips found his neck. His pulse was racing. Erratic."Please," she whispered against his skin. "Please don't do this. Please don't...."His arms came around her suddenly. Held her tight.His hips thrust up. Once. Twice.He was responding. Finally responding."That's it

    Melina's POVShe woke up at five thirty feeling him everywhere.Not Archer this time. Alaric. His mouth. His hands. The specific ache between her legs that came from being held open on a desk and taken apart methodically until she couldn't remember how to think straight.She lay there in the dark s

    Then he went to work.Methodical. Precise. His tongue moving in patterns that made her unable to form coherent thoughts. He wasn't rushed. Wasn't frantic. He was solving her like she was a problem that required his complete attention.And he was very good at solving problems.Her hands gripped the

    He stood up. Came around the desk slowly. Every step deliberate. He stopped three feet away from her. Close enough that she could see the faint shadow of stubble on his jaw. Close enough that his presence filled the space between them."You look tired," Alaric said quietly."I'm fine.""You're not.

    Melina's POVShe woke up sore.Not the kind of sore that came from overwork or a long shift. The specific kind that came from being taken hard on a cold floor by someone who knew exactly what they were doing and didn't ask permission first.Her thighs. Her hips where his hands had gripped.
