Ari’s POV“I apologize Mother,” I tell her, looking at my niece. “She is beautiful.”Mom is shaken.“I guess you should hold her,” Mom’s chin trembles as she hands the baby over to Caroline.Caroline’s face lights up. “She is beautiful. I will be a wonderful stepmother.”“We should find somewhere to talk,” Tristan says, taking the diaper bag.“My house is just over there,” Caroline points down the road.“Is there somewhere we can meet and discuss things?” Dad asks Finch.“Our apartment, Turk and Romana will join us,” Finch offers and leads the way. “Do you want to be shown your rooms to freshen up?”“I don’t want to leave Ariella until I know she is okay,” Mom answers, latching onto me.Juliet- Sure, she is worried about us. She is up to something.“I’m really okay, Mom. Finch is a widower and has been helping me. Also, our bond is growing by the minute, it’s helping. I will always miss Kale, but I can’t stop living. Kale would hate that,” I tell her.Mom hugs me.“I want to discuss Al

Finch’s POVWe have been at this for three hours. Right now, she is on all fours as I hump her from behind. She wasn’t lying when she said she never gets enough. I can see why the goddess would give her three lovers originally. But now, this perfect woman is mine. My cock fills her, and she presses against me, taking all of it. She clinches perfectly, squeezing the tip to the base equally, making me tighten my chest to keep from squirting like a teenager being touched for the first time.I gave up punishing her, the moans that used to annoy me from other women, actually are perfect from her.The way she moans “More, Daddy.” Recharges me and push into her harder.I hear the sound of her orgasm as she grabs the headboard, lifting her top half up, so I can lean in, grasping her breasts. They fit perfectly in my hands, and I massage as she bucks her ass against me, driving me to spill as she cums again.I pump inside her, riding out both orgasms. She collapses into the pillows. I kiss her

Ari’s POVEveryone looks at my parents and are confused.Dove has a smirk on her face that I can’t understand fully.Juliet- I’m not liking where this is headed.“So is Ariella,” Finley breaks the silence.Mom and Dad share a look and Caleb drops his fork.Juliet- Big Brother Mode Activated!“You two cannot be serious,” Caleb grabs the locket from Dad and looks at the photo. “Finch is clearly gifted with beautiful mates. Both of his mates have been other worldly beautiful.”Juliet- Big Brother Mode in full swing.My parents give me a tight smile.“Of course, Ariella is beautiful,” Mom swallows as if the words caught in her throat.“Wait,” Finley interjects. “You two don’t think your own daughter is beautiful?”“Clearly, you agree, since you rejected her,” Dad snaps.Juliet- The steak knife to your left would fit perfectly in his eye socket, just FYI.“That had nothing to do with her looks,” Finley stands up. “In fact, I wasn’t all that keen on the rejection part. It was my manwhore

Finch’s POV“Talk to me, Turk,” I say, coming into the command room.Ari moves to stand next to Romona, while surveying the room.“I have camera footage. You are not going to like it,” Turk shakes his head.“Is that Carter?” Ari asks as we watch Alicia exit the cells with Carter in tow.“Is she threatening him?” Romona asks.“I can’t tell, but watch this,” Turk moves to another angle and Anderson is approaching them.We watch in horror as Carter attacks Anderson and knocks him out. Carter then carries Anderson to a car.“Alicia has to have Carter under her control somehow,” Ari says, coming to hold my arm. “He wouldn’t attack Anderson like that for just anyone.”Duke- She has a point.“Maybe for his mate,” Turk says, zooming in on Carter’s neck.I see a bite mark. It’s not a tattoo mark like fated mates get, it's a wound from being bitten like chosen mates.“Check Alicia,” Ari commands, shaking her head.Turk checks several angles of the cameras.“There,” Romana points and Turk enlarg

Finch’s POV“Then stand with us,” Caleb says. “If you love Ariella and I as much as you claim, then hold Alicia accountable.”“It’s not that simple. She is the way she is because of what they did to her,” Tiffany explains.“No, she is the way she is because of what you did to her when she got back,” Ari snaps. “You could have demanded better behavior from her but instead, you defended her bad behavior and fawned over her like a prize piece of jewelry. You saw me as a cheap expendable thing.”“No,” Tiffany shakes her head. “That is why we insisted you be 21 and given a chance to find your fated mate.”“You insisted of an Alpha, who literally beats women for fun! You wanted me mute and pliable to bend to his will,” Ariella lets a tear fall. “You abandoned me. Instead of showing Alicia how we could all be a family, you abandoned me so she would feel welcome.”“Finch,” Turk calls my attention, and everyone turns to look at him. “The trackers can’t find them.”“We are going to need royal h
