LINDEN
The first time I laid eyes on Marcy, she was gathering supplies from a small shop in Eclipse, one that Alice dragged me to in order to gather things for Madeline, and the moment I saw her I just knew that those lips were going to be my undoing.
I couldn’t control the way Ace caged her in or the way my hand cupped her face and tipped her blue eyes up to meet mine, but she was always meant for me. She didn’t hesitate, she didn’t question anything, she ran her fingers through my hair and brought her face closer to me, whispering ‘mine’ before she took my lips for hers.
We’ve been inseparable since then. This has been the first time we’ve been apart this long since that moment, and it was starting to slowly make me go mad with anger. The sound of her heart beating and the way her sweet, herbal scent fille

ALICE Ian's fingers laced through mine as we fell onto the grass, his lips taking their time getting to know mine as the heat in my body started to rise. I needed his skin against mine. I had to have it. And when the cooling planes of his smooth abs touched mine, I moaned so loudly that I didn't even recognize the sound as something I was capable of. I was still only in Rian’s shirt, the smokey notes of it making a chill run through me in anticipation of his warmth, but Ian’s hardened length was grinding into me through his clothing from where he covered my body with his, and the slow rhythm of it was pushing me towards a distracting release. His hand
ALICE “Never, baby girl,” Sebastian gently nipped at my neck, “we always knew you were coming. The oracle told me I would have two mates, one that would take care of me,” he smiled against my shoulder, “and one that would challenge me… guess which one you are.” I fake laughed before he continued, “There’s all kind of pillows, fabrics,-” “Why?” How could they anticipate I would want this? Why was my wolf bordering on the edge of insanity over pillows? Why? “Sex, can be just sex,” he turned me back around to face all of the pillows, “but when you want to mate, when your body is entering the optimal timeframe for creating little mini dragons,” his hand splayed over my stomach, “you’ll want to nest. Rian said there's no telling what things or types of fabrics you’ll choo
ALICE “How long do I have to fatten up?” I jokingly said but earned a disapproving look from Rian as he set more food still in front of me. We’d lazed around most of the morning, taking turns getting cleaned up before we had to take another food break. “Is there a goal weight I’m not aware of? Is it a-” Rian’s phone buzzing had me pausing. It had become almost normal for Marcy to call Sebastian in such a short span of time, but when Nixon's voice came through all the playfulness I felt fell away. "Where's Alice?" "She's paying attention." "Marcy isn't doing so great, I don't know what's wrong with her, but she's pale even for a Vamp." "How often is she feedi
NIXON "How's Linden?" Alice's voice was desperate for good news as soon as I picked up. "Better," I alleviated her worries instead of saying something about how offended I was that she didn't miss me enough to ask about me first, "him and Marcy had a moment last night." I bet she does have a favourite brother. It has to be me. "Good. We need him on board to help with Marcy. I'm coming back now, but I'm… ummm,” was she nervous? “Can you get Linden so we can all talk, but privately.” "What the…" "Hey," Alice interrupted Linden's outrage at me flashing him from the kitchen to the office. "Who is this?"
NIXON Linden looked past Alice to where her unmarked mates were standing. They were weirdly calm and looked too relaxed for an unmarked mate to be, but there was something in the way they watched her that told a different story. “Mountain,” I smiled and Alice jabbed me in the ribs with her elbow as she rolled her eyes. “RIAN,” when she called him, announcing his name loudly for me, something changed in the way he was looking around. It was less calculating and more adoring, she was his sole focus and every word she spoke had him spending every ounce of his attention on her, “You’ve already met the unfortunate mess that is Nixon,” she linked her arm in mine, not so subtly checking to make sure my tattoo was still there before slipping her other arms in Lindens, “this is my other triplet, Linden.” She motioned
NIXON Ian’s words seemed to shock Marcy, she seemed less distracted by her needs and more focused on listening for instructions. “Remember what I told you. Take his hand,” Marcy started to listen and do every action as Ian spoke it, “pull him into you slowly, pressing together only when you have enough control to stay there with him a few moments. Close your eyes and listen to the way his blood is flowing through his body. The gentle thump is what you want. If it starts to increase, you stop. If it starts to slow down, you stop.” Marcy nodded her head before she looked shocked and horrified all at once and blush covered her cheeks, but Linden only pulled her in closer, smiling like a schoolboy trying to hide… Filthy, filthy, fucker. Alice looked my way, clearly
LINDEN When I spoke to the pack, it was like Ace was speaking - and maybe he was. I watched it all unfold, watched as Terran stood to the side and acted as if he was listening while he was surveying the pack for threats. He'd find none. Our pack was loyal because Declan was right… we've grown up loved. My parents made sure that they weren't loyal out of fear because that doesn't bind a person. A person loyal under duress will always change loyalties if their fears change, but not here. Aydin almost stormed out at the sight of Al's mate, but Katherine and Bell’s tight grip had him staying put. Xavier was calculating the risks when he noticed that Marcy wasn’t by my side, while Westley's eyes were fixed on Rian and I don't think he was paying attention to the conv
LINDEN Jax tried to tackle Alice, but she pushed off of Westley's back just as he reached them and flipped over him, landing in Ian’s arms. He’d flashed over there to catch her and didn’t look impressed as she laughed wildly watching Aydin shift back to human form as he and Westley tumbled across the field. “I’d say sorry,” Terran laughed as he popped a flower out of the vines where Xavier’s ass would be, “but,” he shrugged and Marie couldn’t control the giggles that followed. “Baby girl,” Ian said in a warning tone but Alice just looked up at him in this way that made something shift inside me. Her eyes were glued to him, looking up at him like he was her entire world and nothing would ever keep them apart as she played with his… oh fuck.
