Athena and her squirrels. What are you thinking about their journey so far? It's only just beginning.
GRANT It was surreal to know that those four had essentially known about our bond for our entire lives. Angel had wanted us to speak to her family before we announced it to the pack. Unsurprisingly, they all were extremely happy and had also apparently called it years ago. Her mother asked if the three of us had decided when the transition in living arrangements would occur. The blush on Angle’s face was so fucking adorable when she said that she was going to start the transition today. Her parents were okay with that, knowing that we would protect her and never cross her boundaries. “We know that you’ll make our girl happy, and we are very pleased to call you family officially,” her mother told us. “Thank you, Mrs. Vester. That means everything to hear,” I responded. “I think it’s beyond time for you to drop the Mr. and Mrs. Paula and Jesse are fine. We are family after all,” she said with a wink. We chuckled and agreed, also extending the same sentiments about being family. Th
ANGEL I was incredibly nervous, but I knew what I wanted to do. I wanted – no, needed – to solidify our bond. There was an intense desire within me, encouraging me to follow through with what I had promised myself to do. It was not rushing it. I had spent years suffering in silence because I wanted them but never thought that I would be able to call them mine. Thankfully, that was not my reality any longer. The days of pining away were behind us. The three of us shared a bond that far surpassed a mate-bond. I could not fully explain it or even understand it myself. ‘Our bonds are indeed beyond the mate-bond. It’s a divinely blessed bond. The Goddess bestowed upon us a special blessing because she knew how strong our connections would be. She doesn’t do it often, but she did it for us,’ Athena said with a wistful smile in her voice. Oh, wow. That I did not know, but I was incredibly thankful for it. That would explain how deep our connection growing up was. That was something that I
GRANTIt felt like my mind had broken the moment that she pulled her lingerie off.Angel had a sexy body. She was the perfect blend of feminine warrior. I loved the fact that her body was filled with muscle because it showcased her strength. Those breasts with the hardened nipples demanded to be teased. And a covered pussy that needed to be feasted upon.We had not expected her to be at this place just yet, but I was not going to turn away the gift that she was offering up to us – a solidified mate-bond.“Your move, boys,” she purred to us.I flashed her a wicked grin. If she wanted to play then we would play. I could not wait to taste every inch of her, embedding myself so deeply into her that she would still be feeling me tomorrow.“Lay back, doll.”She slowly lowered herself backwards, making certain that she was in the middle of the bed with a pillow underneath her head. Angel looked like a fucking goddess laying there like that.“Legs apart, halo. Let us see what that thong looks
GRANTI wanted nothing more than to solidify our bond, but I needed to make sure she was okay first. Afterall, she did just lose her virginity to an Alpha. Our entire anatomy tended to be on the larger and broader side of things. I was not boasting but stating facts.It was not like I had any experience to go off of, guiding me on what was normal for a first time. Although, I did love the fact that this was a first that we were all getting. I had nothing against people who chose to sleep around. It was all based on their preference. It was the same way that I would not have cared if Angel had done it before us. But to know that the two of us were the only ones who knew how fucking delicious she was…. Well, nothing compared to that.One thing I would say for her was that she was glorious in the throes of passion – the epitome of desire. Truly a beautiful goddess in her own right.I had always wondered if the transition from best friends to ‘more’ would be awkward. It was a new experienc
ANGELI was roused from sleep with sparks dancing all over my body and cocooned in warmth. My body was deliciously sore, reminding me that it all really did happen.Grant and Gabriel were my mates. I wanted to scream from the rooftop and sing praises to the Goddess for hearing my prayers and granting my wish.And, oh my, the things that they did to my body…“What time is your meeting, doll?” Grant whispered into my right ear, causing a shiver to run through me with the huskiness of his morning voice.Before I could answer, I felt a nose running along the left side of my throat. He placed a kiss over his mark and chuckled against my skin. It was lighthearted and could also feel his happiness right now.“9:30 this morning. What time is it now?” I asked.“You have about an hour to get there. Unfortunately, that means that we can’t play with you until you’re done. Shame,” Gabriel said with a pout in his voice.Damn. They really were insatiable. I was woken up twice last night, once with Ga
GRANT “REMO,” I called out. He materialized almost immediately. “Find Angel,” I commanded. He let out a growl and shook his head, sharing with me that he could not find her either. My heart sank because he should have been able to find her even if we could not. His connection as her guardian was appointed by the Hades, the God of the Underworld. Hellhounds should always be able to find their charges. It was literally in their fucking DNA. My brother and I exchanged a look, and I knew we were thinking of the same thing. The warnings, the visions, all of it. We should not have let her out of our sight, but we did. Now, we had no idea where the fuck she was or who she was with. I did not even notice that my fist crashed through a mirror until Remo used his heat to break through the chaos in my head. “Thank you. I needed that,” I told him, scratching the spot that Angel always did when she wanted to thank him. I grabbed Gabriel’s shoulder and popped into the office, startling the se
ANGELI slowly gained awareness after being thrusted into the darkness. My head was foggy as I tried to figure out what was going on.Time seemed endless, stretching on forever. It could have been minutes or even days before I could open my eyes.I looked around and saw that I was in a strange room. I sat up too quickly and felt dizzy. Goddess, my head was killing me. I went to rub my temples and realized that I was shackled to a fucking bed.My arms pulled against the shackles, making something on the floor rattle. Peering over the edge, I saw that it was attached to a heavy-duty anchor on the concrete floor. Were they serious? Did they fear that I would somehow escape through a non-existent window?Everything came flooding back to me. Maxine was the one to betray me. How had I fallen right into her little trap? She played me since the beginning. I trusted her when I never should have. My boys had been suspicious of her, but I had been too blind!I thought back to all of the times tha
GRANTMy brother and I gave ourselves five minutes to cry before we wiped our eyes and tossed our emotions behind a brick wall so that we could remain strong.We could beat ourselves up for failing to protect her or could get our asses in gear to find and save her.Everyone was in the office. Our parents, Aunt Ziyah, and Uncle Dante were also here. Caiathus, Mom’s Protector Fae who was also Aunt Ziyah’s cousin, was also here. Mom was technically his charge, but we were as well by extension. He was a scary motherfucker if he wanted to be, so I was glad that he was here too.Klaryn was also here since her bond with Remo was blocked as well. He was extremely perplexed by that and had never known that it was possible. Yeah, get in line.Kalen came storming inside the office and went straight for Headmaster Vaughn. Well, was he still a Headmaster? Eh, semantics.“Are you fucking a part of this?” she asked, voice dripping with cold fury. “Let me be more specific. Who is Nicolai Romero, and w
