Gaia POV.I untangle myself from them and look up at all four of them. The sound of the waves crashing on the shore and the beautiful colours in the sky make the perfect setting for what we are about to do.I stand and they all look at me, confused, as I start stripping my clothes in front of them. I look at each of them and see desire and fiery lust in their gazes, and I smirk as I bite my bottom lip.Standing in front of them completely bare, I lower myself on to Calista’s lap. Wrapping my arms around his neck, I kiss him. Having his hands on my bare skin sends the sparks everywhere. Tracing the seam of his bottom lip with my tongue, he grants me access.Plunging my tongue into his mouth, our tongues dance together in a sultry tango, each fighting for dominance over the other. My hands tangle in my hair as he deepens the kiss. I moan as my core pulses with a greedy need to be filled.More hands run up my spine and sides. I gasp, breaking the kiss, turning my head as Leo kisses me. M
Gaia POV.Waking surrounded by warmth as the sun beats down on me. I open my eyes and see we are still on the beach. We slept on the sand. The burning embers from a fire are dying. Sitting up, I yawn and stretch.“Fuck, my back.” I mumble as I stand, stretching as my back crunches and I shiver.“Morning.” I turn my head and see my mates all waking up. I look back out over the water and release a slow breath. Waking like this is perfect.“Morning.” I say I am extremely chirpy this morning.“Yeah, that is what happens when you mate and mark. You need to finish the process with Jake and then you need to mark them, too.” Kodiak sounds groggy in my head. She has never been a morning wolf and I don’t think that will ever change.“I know. I plan on doing that.” I tell her and she yawns before going back to sleep. Looks like someone is wiped out. I’m pulled out of my thoughts as I’m pulled back down with a giggle. I land against a warm chest.“Who dressed me?” I ask as Leo rubs his eyes befor
Calista POV.It’s late in the afternoon of the next day and we are still waiting for Gaia and Jake to come back. We know they have completed the mating and marking. We all felt it last night, but there was something else happening. You know that feeling in the pit of your stomach that something big is about to happen? Yeah, we have been feeling that since this morning.“When do you think they will be back? I don’t like this feeling something is about to happen. What could it be?” Gabe says from the island in the kitchen nursing his coffee and I look towards Leo and I know he is just as anxious.“How longs a piece of string? I don’t know as for this feeling we will just have to wait and find out. Have any of you tried to get in touch with them?” I ask as I tighten my grip on the mug. They both nod. It’s like they have gone AWOL and cut all comms with us.“Are they still not back?” I turn to see Sofia enter the kitchen and we all look towards the front door, willing it to open up and re
Gaia POV.It has been two weeks since I returned with Rosa and twenty other orphans. They have all settled beautifully and Rosa has her daddies wrapped around her little finger. Not just them, but my family, too.There is plenty of space for the kids and they all sleep in rooms shared with either their siblings or older children. Today we have organised for an adoption party to take place. All potential new parents have been vetted by not just the supernatural council but the human councils, too. So they will come today and spend time with their potential new child or children.I know some of these pups will go to loving parents within the pack. Xena has also put in place that all these children will be under the council’s protection. However, they don’t need it because no matter where they go; they are under my protection.As for the human orphans, they have beautiful families lined up too. We made sure that each child was matched perfectly. Checks were made to ensure their protectio
Gaia POV.Today was a success. All the kids and their new families had a great time. All but little Charlie. It hurts my heart that such a sweet and interesting little boy was left alone. I need to get to the bottom of this. How could a siren abandon their child?Collapsing on the sofa, I’m exhausted and I still need to tell my mates I am pregnant. However, I need to find Asteria and get to the bottom of this for little Charlie he has every right to know why he was left in the care of that awful woman.“Hey baby. Are you ok?” I look up and see the men I need. I smile at them and sit up.“Yeah, I’m good. There is something I need to tell you all. So please sit down. It’s nothing bad, I promise.” I say and they all look at me like I’m going to do something bad to each of them. I scoff inwardly. Ok fine, the Nerf war, and water fight was great fun, and they got the brunt of it, but hey no harm done.“Stand up Gaia.” I look at Leo, confused, as he rolls his eyes and pulls me to stand as h
Calista POV.“Sooo, who do you think the baby daddy is?” Gabe asks from the side, as I shake my head. Is he really concerned about this? Seriously, it doesn’t matter who is the baby daddy. Regardless, the pup is ours and that is all that should matter.“Does it matter? We will love it regardless of who the baby’s daddy is. It’s not a competition.” Leo mumbles from the other sofa. Today has taken it out of us. Not only have we been working to help Gaia, but also our own things.Gaia is currently taking a nap. She has become a moody demon lately and we know it’s because of her hormones. One minute she is fine, the next she is breathing fire. We can’t do right for doing wrong. The only time she is happy is when she is sleeping. The morning sickness has made itself known and each time she is sick, she blames us for it.“We need to decide what we are going to do about Hell.” I tell them and they all look at me. The laws state we can’t go back with a child and that is not going to change.“
Gaia POV.Walking into the packhouse, I feel the energy in me shift. A feeling in my gut tells me something is wrong. I push through the anxiety that becomes worse as I move through the hallway. When my energy flickers and I fall to my knees with a thud. The vibration runs up my spine as I grit my teeth from the pain in my knees.“Kodiak, what’s happening?” I say as I brace my hand on the wall as she whimpers.“Selene!” I gasp as I move, pulling myself up. I need to find aunt Destinee.“DESTINEE!” I scream as my head spins and I fall again before I hit the floor. Large warm hands grip me and I look up and see Calista holding me inches from the floor.“Gaia, oh Goddess, are you ok? What’s happening? Aura is screaming inside my head.” I look at her as a scream tears through me.“Selene. She is dying.” I manage to say through gritted teeth. She gasps and a howl rips out of her and Kodiak responds.“Come, we need to go.” Calista lifts me in his hold and I grip on to aunt Destinee as I ope
Gabe POV.The power surge through the packhouse caused us all to submit. With gritted teeth, my mates and I try to peel ourselves from the floor. Sweat trickling down my back and Knight whimpering in my head. I look at Leo and Jake. They are the same. Hearing the scream that gets us up and running upstairs.Crashing into the wall as we near the room. Stopping in the doorway, seeing Gaia, Sofia, Destinee, and Fenrir doing something. The scent of blood in the air. I know it’s Gaia as she screams into the heavens, calling for the help of the gods.We try to enter the room but are stopped by an unknown force. Her head is thrown back as lightning strikes her body, blood streaming down her face. I clutch my chest as my breathing comes out ragged and fast. When I see the white light leave her and is directed towards Selene.“We need to get in there. She is going to hurt herself.” Knight thrashes, trying to get control to get to his mate, but he can’t break the barrier. She can’t see us. We a
