Adina smiled and kissed Colin. As Colin distracted her, Sean quickly removed his clothes. When he was done, he stepped in and drew Adina to his now naked body and kissed her. At the same time, Adina admired the feel of Sean’s well-toned muscles under her hands as she let them move all over his body. Colin got his clothes off and then joined them again.Being trapped between two powerful, naked bodies was like nothing she had experienced before. Her body was on fire, and each touch stood out and was part of the symphony of sensations.“Time for bed,” Sean smiled and held his hand towards Adina. Adina smiled back and took his hand, taking Colin’s hand with her other hand.As Colin and Sean led her to the bed, she took the time to admire the two of them. They were both gorgeous men. Colin being the poster boy for a true alpha with broad shoulders, well-muscled and tall. Sean was almost as tall but leaner, with muscles honed from training.As Sean reached the bed, he turned around towards

Colin’s POVColin looked at the teenager in front of him. How could he not know what a true mate was? Better yet, how could this boy have been living in his pack with no one noticing what his father had been teaching him?Sean was the first to recover from the shock of Johnny’s question.“A true mate is the one that the moon goddess has chosen for you—your perfect match. Once you are eighteen and meet, there is instant recognition,” he explained to the boy.“But then why would you need to take a mate?” Johnny asked.“Take a mate?” Colin asked.“Yeah. Dad explained that when you find someone you like and are above eighteen, you take them as your mate by biting their neck. He said that the best thing to do is to surprise them as it can hurt, and you don’t want them to know it’s coming. So, you hide somewhere that there aren’t many other people, and you know they will be at,” he explained.Colin and Sean both growled, and Adina let out a surprised yelp. Johnny looked scared.“You will do

Adina’s POVAdina got ready in record time and, for once, she didn’t wait for her mates before heading down for breakfast. Sean was in the bathroom and Colin was in the closet when she left. Before she had got to the kitchen, she got a mind link from Sean.‘Where are you?’ he asked.‘Kitchen,’ she answered.‘Why didn’t you wait for us?’‘No time, Sean. Julia and I need to go through some things before the inspector gets here. The last couple of days, we haven’t had time to sit down,’ she explained as she started making breakfast.Julia soon joined her and as they both made breakfast, they talked about the day that was ahead of them.“I’ll introduce you as Colin’s wife, as the humans know he is the leader. It makes sense that you join in the inspection,” Julia said as Colin, Sean, Mateo, and Jason all came walking in.They all sat down and started eating. Julia and Adina continued to talk about the inspection. The others listened with half an ear.“You know that I’m going to be there a

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

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
