‘Where are you?’ Adina mind linked to Sean.‘In my old apartment, Colin had a meeting, and I didn’t want these two in the common area,’ he told her.“Julia, could you mind link Mateo and having him tell Colin that I’m dealing with the two boys in Sean’s old apartment?” Adina asked Julia. It was getting on her nerves to be unable to mind link Colin herself.“Sure thing,” Julia said.When Adina got to the fourth floor, Colin was waiting for her. He gave her a hug and a kiss.“I heard what happened,” he sighed.Together they went into the apartment and saw one bay sitting on the bed, the other on the couch. Both looked like they were sulking. Sean stood with folded arms between them. He smiled when he saw Adina and Colin. He walked up to her and kissed her.“Johnny, we have talked about appropriate behaviour in a pack. To shift in front of a human is unacceptable,” Colin started.“No, Colin. This wasn’t Johnny’s fault,” Adina said.“She is right. Even though he was the first that started
Sean’s POVAdina looked about to cry as she recollected what the woman had told her. Sean felt powerless as he had no idea how to help her. He continued to rub her feet. He was hoping that it would bring her some comfort.He looked up and met Colin’s eyes. He could see his own emotions mirrored back at him. Sometimes there was nothing either of them could do. They just needed to be here for their mate.“She and Brian were from different packs but attended the same high school. They didn’t know each other. Barbara said she didn’t even know Brian existed. When she turned eighteen, she found her mate; it was one of her friends,” Adina told them. “Two days after she turned eighteen, she was studying with some friends in the library. She went to find a book they needed, and Brian attacked her and marked her,” Adina continued. Both Sean and Colin let out a low growl.Sean had to contain himself not to go and find that wretched man. To forcefully mark someone was as sick and twisted as it c
Sean’s POVAs soon as the door shut behind them, Sean and Colin pounced on Adina. She gave up a small yelp of surprise as Colin ripped her blouse to shreds and started kissing her. Sean lifted her skirt up and kissed her neck as his hands caressed every inch of her thighs and ass.“Bed,” Colin growled, and as Colin lifted Adina, Sean pulled down her skirt.Colin quickly moved to the bed and placed Adina on the edge as he started kissing her neck, moving downwards. Sean kissed Adina’s lips and felt the same rush of amazement he always did at the fact that he could do that.As he felt Adina respond to him and her soft moans as Colin ripped her bra from her body to get to her breast, Sean used his body to push Adina down on the bed. He continued to kiss her as Colin concentrated on her breasts.Sean let go of Adina’s lips to let her catch her breath. He looked into her eyes, and her lust was evident. He pushed himself off the bed and knelt beside it by her legs. As he watched Colin suck
Adina’s POVAdina woke up with Colin’s and Sean’s arms around her. She smiled and decided to enjoy the feeling of warmth and the familiar sparks that tickled her skin where Colin touched her. It took her a minute to realise that the sparks weren’t just coming from Colin.Adina placed her hand on Sean’s chest with a small gasp, waking him up. He gave her a sleepy smile and tightened his grip on her. But she was focused on her hand on his chest. She lifted it, looked at it and then placed it down again.“What are you doing?” Sean smiled.Adina felt Colin stir behind her, and he sleepily placed a kiss on her shoulder.“Too early, Baby,” he mumbled.“There are sparks,” she said, dumbfounded.“Yes, baby. I would have thought you had got used to them by now,” Colin said, absentmindedly stroking his hand up and down her waist.“Not there, here,” she said, lifting her hand and placing it on Sean’s chest again.Sean looked at it and then at her.“I can feel them too,” he said, surprised.Colin
Colin’s POVColin was sitting in his office with Mateo. They were looking over the winter preparations. Usually, they get a lot of snow around January and February. They needed to ensure they had vehicles that could handle it and food supplies that could last through long winter storms.‘Colin, can you come downstairs?’ Adina mind linked him.He smiled. He loved that they could mind link with each other. It was proof that they now were of the same pack. He had gotten used to the feeling of belonging to two packs. Sean had taught him how long-distance mind linking worked. They had used Cernack as a guinea pig.‘We will be done in about twenty minutes,’ he linked back.‘Sorry, honey, but I need you to come down right now. We have a guest we can’t leave waiting,’ she told him.‘A guest? No one has been announced,’ he said.‘It’s Selene; she won’t be coming through the gates,’ Adina told him, and he could hear the amusement in her voice.Colin shot up from his chair, and Mateo gave him a
Selene slowly glided towards them. There was no better word for it, Colin thought. She stopped in front of Adina and placed a hand on her forehead. She put her other hand on Sean’s, and to Colin’s surprise, he felt a third hand on his forehead. The goddess chuckled.“I’m not bound by the physical constraints of a mortal body, alpha Colin,” she said.That made sense, Colin guessed.“By the power as the goddess of the moon and protector of werewolves, as the one that intertwines the bond of mates, I, Selene, bless this union. May their bond be strong and everlasting, and may it provide the love, protection, and strength the three of them need,” Selene said.Colin felt a cool sensation from his forehead and spreading through his body. He felt it connect to Adina and Sean and filled them all. Then it was gone.“It’s time for me to leave, my child,” the goddess smiled.“Go with love,” Adina smiled back.“I’ll be seeing the three of you sooner than you might expect,” the goddess laughed and
Sean’s POVSean and Adina had gotten their bags ready and were now standing just inside the apartment door. It was time to say goodbye to Colin and head to the airport. All three of them just stood there, not knowing what to do, reluctant to take the first step.Finally, it was Adina that stepped up to Colin and embraced him. He responded by pulling her closer and nuzzling her neck. Sean walked up to them and put a hand on Colin’s shoulder. Colin looked up, and they exchanged a look.Colin drew Sean into the embrace, so the two of them sandwiched Adina between them. Sean leaned his head on Adina’s other shoulder. They stood like that for almost five minutes before Sean took a step back and placed his hand on Adina’s back. She kissed Colin and then ran her fingers over his white lock of hair. A new habit of hers.“There are pillows with my and Sean’s scent on them, and don’t be too proud to rummage through our closets if you need it,” she told Colin.“Don’t worry about me, baby. I will
Sean’s POVSean took Adina’s hand as they walked out of the plane. It had become a habit by now, but more so. He needed the feeling of her as he saw the two black cars waiting by the side of the runway. Men and women were standing by the cars. He didn’t recognise most of them.A little in front of the rest of the wolves waiting was a tall, well-built man. Sean recognised him as he had similar features to himself. His brother was watching them as they walked toward him. Then he started moving to meet them halfway.“Welcome back, Sean,” his brother said. He smiled at Sean and extended his hand.“Thank you, Liam,” Sean said, shaking his hand. To Sean’s surprise, his older brother was shorter than him. Liam had always towered over him when they were growing up, and Sean had always felt like he would never be as strong or tall.“This is the Beloved One. Adina, this is my brother, Liam,” Sean introduced them.“My lady, it’s an honour to meet you finally,” Liam said, bowing slightly to Adina
