Ember takes her sweet time going into heat. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, but she’s already learned we weren’t joking about not letting her out of the house…
Which leads to a very awkward—or if you’re me, amusing—question-and-answer session where she interrogates her possible future enforcers by standing in the front door. They form a line, passing the porch one by one.

My stress is officially higher than it’s ever been. My boots stomp across the floor as Nadia checks Ember out. At least she’s back in human form after the trip to the cave nest. It boggles my mind that she can still shift when she’s so full of babies, but I also know her wolf would never put them in danger.

My lion guides us through the trees at a rapid pace with utter conviction that he won’t face-plant into an unexpected tree trunk. He comes to the edge of the woods right as Ember tackles the smaller of two wolves. She viciously tears into his side as her paws rake over the wolf’s face and flank.
The larger wolf stalks closer to Ember from behind.

Scooting up just a little, I let my wet core drag over his knot and shaft as I move to kiss him. He has to bend to reach me, due to the height difference, but we make it happen.
He slides his hand over my neck and up into the hair at the base of my skull. I’d give anything to feel him give it a little tug, but he holds me in place with a firm and commanding grip.

Lorcan takes a seat next to me on the couch, grabbing my wrist and placing it in his lap. He runs his fingers over the spot where he placed that mark. “I’m going to use a little magic to see if we can spruce this place up a bit.”
I check to see how Anders feels about that. This is his home, after all.
He shrugs. “I only took this place because it was empty.

I nod, and my cheeks feel hot. My sister has always been weirdly in tune with picking up on my moods. I’m sure she can tell I’ve got proverbial heart eyes for the new alpha.
“Okay, good talk.” Ember smiles tightly. “If you don’t feel comfortable coming to me directly, maybe you could mention any problems or ideas to Sofia or Anders?”

If I was more coherent, I would feel really strange about sticking my nose in Anders’s armpit. As it stands, I’m just grateful his scent is settling my tender stomach.
I pass out again and wake before the sun has even fully risen. It’s that dusky time when everything is hazy, and no one wants to be awake just yet. My job requires a lot of late nights and going to bed in the early morning hours.

The low growling that comes from the bedroom has me flipping off the water and tugging the door open.
My eyes widen as I hiss, “Oh, shit.”
The lion, who has to be Anders, stands on the bed, staring at the open doorway.
My eyes follow his line of sight, and…
Oh yeah, Veryn looks super pissed.
Glancing down at the T-shirt and basketball shorts I’m wearing that aren’t mine…

Kent knew he was supposed to stay away. He just lost one of his dads. I couldn’t imagine him having to watch me die too.
It’s mind-boggling how he ended up with Ember in the first place. I’m pretty sure my seven-year-old nephew begged her to intercede on my behalf…
Goddamn.
That’s embarrassing.
My animal forms rarely agree on anything, but they don’t like it, either.

Bet the wolf she saved is her mate and she’s gonna turn him into an alpha and help raise his little brother.
A smile crosses my face, despite the agony. He’s a cute kid with just the right kind of spunk.
“You stood there for twenty minutes, snarling at anyone who tried to get close enough to check on you. Good job!

Once the line of prospective candidates dwindles, I slide up behind my mate, planting a hand on her stomach and pulling her back to my chest. “I’m beginning to think you’re stubbornly willing away your heat.”
Ember snorts, glancing up at me over her shoulder. Her pretty blue eyes sparkle as her face breaks out into a grin. “There’s just so much to do. I feel ridiculous. How am I supposed to lead anything when my mates won’t let me out of the damn house?”
“You’ve accomplished much stuck inside the house,” I assure her, bending to kiss her cheek. “The boundary lines are tethered for the ward. You’ve had seven new shifters ask for sanctuary, and that’s more than the number who left after the coup from Aimes’s supporters. Rome wasn’t built in a day, lovely.”
“Ahh, yes. You know all about that because you’re so old you were probably there to witness it being constructed.” She spins in my hold, stretching up on her tiptoes to brush her lips over mine.
I smack her arse playfully and deepen the kiss until she melts against me. The way her scent floods the air proves it’s time to get her back to the nest, and I tug her inside the front door, slamming it shut with magic.
Hopefully that will be enough to alert Anders and Veryn that we’re relocating and they’re welcome to join us. If not, I’m sure the bond will give it away shortly.
Ember groans, throwing her head back against my shoulder as we both kneel vertically in the nest. Her sudden spasms could be due to the fact she just came all over my cock, but I’m going to guess it’s a reaction to me adding another finger to her tight arse.
“I’m really not sure that’s supposed to feel so good.” She grunts, shimmying her hips from side to side.
“On the contrary, lovely.” I chuckle darkly. “With enough patience and lube, all things are possible.” I work my other hand around to pinch her clit. “I believe you’re ready for my cock in your arse.”
It’s been a slow process to stretch her enough that I think this might be possible, but our packmates have yet to join the party. I’ve got no complaints about one-on-one time with Ember, but I wouldn’t have turned down having someone to suck her tits or clit or distract her with a kiss.
“Okay.” Ember trembles as I pull free of her pussy and remove my fingers to replace them with my crown. Grabbing the towel I brought for just this purpose, I give my fingers a quick drying before moving to hold her hip.
“Take a slow, deep breath,” I murmur, gently thrusting inside the tight ring of muscles. “Christ.” My movements are erratic, but I do my best to tease her swollen nub to distract her. Once she begins to breathe regularly, I slowly withdraw until only my tip stays inside her before sliding deeper once more.
Ember’s body freezes. “Yeah, so, that’s a lot.”
The entire mattress dips as someone joins us. Anders crawls until he frames Ember’s front. He’s in a pair of low-slung basketball shorts, but he’ll need to dispose of those immediately.
“Damn, are you in her ass?” He moves to cup her tits.
“He is.” Ember nods wildly. “It’s not nearly as bad as I imagined, but I need something.”
Pulling out, I gently work my way in. Both of her other alphas have knots, which complicates things. I briefly wondered if I would develop one after our mating, since fae and demons often do, but I suppose my elven blood is too watered down to activate the appendage. That, or my magic overrode any changes to my being. I’m not exactly sure. Although, I’m not complaining.
Anders dips his head and kisses her. Ember flings herself forward, melting into his chest. I use the opportunity to shove his shorts down until they pool at his knees.
Hmm.
Those might be in the way for what I intend to do next.
I swipe a hand, removing them and tossing them…somewhere. Wherever my magic deems it appropriate for them to land.
“Wrap your hand around him,” I instruct, my eyes not leaving where I disappear inside her arse.
We need to get a move on before I embarrass myself.
Anders grunts, indicating Ember followed my directions. If he’s anything like me, even her pheromones in the air are enough to make his cock hard.
That’s likely been long enough, or I’m rushing things because she’s unbelievably tight.
I swipe a hand, and Anders ends up flat on his back. Planting a hand on Ember’s stomach, I lower us both. It takes some repositioning, but Ember’s forearms end up on Anders’s chest as her core hovers over his cock.
“You want me to slide inside her too?” he asks with wide eyes.
Yes, well, that was the plan, but if she doesn’t stop clenching around my cock, I won’t even make it to that point.
“Yeah, we both do.” Ember reaches between them.
I can’t see what happens next. Although, I assume she moves him to her pussy. The pressure when she sinks down is unreal. My breath catches as her skin heats, and her pheromones flood the air.
Anders curses and moves his hands to her face. “Are you okay?”
She nods, wiggling her hips. “Yeah, I just have no idea what I’m supposed to do now.”
I chuckle darkly. “Now you let me fuck your world up.”
I have to pull up a bit and my hands land on her luscious arse. Moving them to the tops of her cheeks, I bring them apart and back together to test the sensation. It’s mind-blowing.
I begin to truly work in and out of her as Anders snakes a hand between them to work her clit.
The scent of her arousal causes my head to spin, and the foggy feeling that hits my senses makes everything muted. Outside of the pleasure, that is. Heats can be utterly animalistic once the haze of rut slips in, but I do everything in my power to stay clear enough to be measured in my actions.
The darling wolf grinds her hips as she gyrates over Anders’s cock.
I’m so focused on holding off my orgasm that I barely notice as Veryn climbs into the nest. He jostles the mattress and lies down at our side before reaching a hand over to palm Ember’s head.
“Next time, give a man a little warning.” Veryn chuckles. “I’ve never dismissed myself from a conversation so fast in my life.”
Ember twists her head toward him, and they share a tender kiss. “Oh shit, your spikes got extra spikey…”
She’s not wrong, and being able to feel them brushing my length through the thin layer of tissue as his cock swells sends me over the edge.
“Jesus,” Anders chokes out. “You’re killing me here.”
Veryn chuckles as the three of us lose ourselves to the wash of pleasure, but I can’t see him as my eyes clench shut.
By the time I open them, Veryn has moved. He lies on his side facing Ember, and his cock is in her mouth.
My head tilts.
Christ.
I’ve just realized which direction is up, and she’s already sucking off the dragon while grinding her hips.
Yes, the universe blessed me with the perfect mate.
