Hakeem and I leave the meeting room and head back to the cottage. Although the war is important, we just mated. There is a lot of bonding that needs to be done and I have been too long without feeling one of my mates touching me.
“So, when can I become a part of your pack?” I ask.
Hakeem places his hand on my ass, squeezing lightly as we walk across the lawn, our front door in sight. “I don’t know if we have to have our oracle bless the union or if any oracle can do that. That’s more your wheelhouse than mine.”
“Mmmmm. I’ll have to ask Lucille.” I say, preparing to mindlink her as we climb the steps to the cottage door.
“Not yet, Merry. I plan to keep you busy for a while.” Hakeem’s hand cups one of my breasts, while the other digs

Fighting the mating urge is harder this time around, as I can feel all three of our internal struggles to not touch each other. But I need to see my mom. I haven’t seen much of her since we got here with everything that has happened between becoming Delta, mating Devin, and being rejected by Arya. But having talked to her earlier and knowing that she is cured by the Goddess’s grace, I have to see her. And she needs to meet my second mate.That is how we came to stand at the pack hospital, outside her room on the ICU ward. Wolves typically rarely stay on this ward for more than a few days because of our healing abilities. But, since Mom isn’t a wolf, she has a more permanent room set up here, especially since she has been doing chemo since she got here last week.Artemis Pack has been amazing for
I watch through a crack in the door as my mates undress, peppering kisses on exposed skin. Fuck, this turns me on. Having been with Hakeem for two years, watching him undress, shower, jerk himself off has been the voyeuristic stuff of dreams. But watching him and nuestra princesa (our princess) together? Ay, Diosa mía, podría cum en mis pantalones! (Oh, my Goddess, I could cum in my pants!). Meredith pushes Hakeem slightly so that he is sitting on the bed. She kisses him deeply, reaching to the floor to pick up a bottle of caramel syrup. Apparently, the one fault that nuestra princesa
Walking back from the pack hospital, I feel a new lightness that I haven’t felt in a long time. I’m part of a new pack, one that seems to respect and accept me. I have two amazing mates who have done nothing but protect and care for me. And I now have in-laws. A whole family, complete and ready to love me.I just hope that it’s not too good to be true.Or that Mathias doesn’t come in and ruin it.“What’s with the sudden sadness, Ari?” Xander asks, squeezing my hand in his.I look up into his chocolate eyes and nearly melt at the love, concern, and devotion in his eyes. I stop walking and lean my head on his shoulder. “Nothing. Just old insecurities rearing their ugly heads.”
I walk downstairs to hear Hakeem teasing Gael in Spanish.“Caminas como un culiao. (You’re walking like someone who just had anal sex.)” Hakeem’s voice is edged with laughter. I look around the corner of the stairwell to see Hakeem rummaging through one of the cabinets while Gael is looking in the pantry.“No lo sería si no me hubieras dado el culo con tanta fuerza. (I wouldn't be if you hadn't pounded my ass so hard.)” Gael’s voice is muffled coming from inside the walk-in pantry.“Pobrecito, Caramelo
We walk to the edge of the woods and Devin grabs a tote bag out of a chest by a tree. We quickly strip and stuff our clothes into the bag before shifting. We had seen Arya’s wolf when she first arrived back at Artemis Pack. She is beautiful. Her wolf is large, which now makes sense, knowing that she is an alpha. She is jet black with white markings down her muzzle and between her eyes, as well as a large white spot on her chest. Her body is leanly muscled, built for speed and agility. Her coat is thick, her black eyes bright with intelligence. However, this is the first time that Devin and I have really paid attention to each other's wolves. We shifted to travel to the pack borders to go wait for Arya, but our minds were consumed by other things. Now, I look at my male mate. Is it weird to find a wolf sexy? Because he is. His wolf is about
While Merry and I get the bacon ready, Gael beats the eggs before straining the oil from the potatoes and onions and mixing the whole thing together.“So, did you guys always know that you were bisexual?” Merry asks.“Si,” Gael says matter-of-factly. I’ve always admired his easygoing attitude about his sexuality. Not that my family ever said anything about mine. They honestly were happy that I was happy. But I had bowed to society’s feelings about bisexuality in men. I buried it as deeply as I could.“Um, kind of. I didn’t feel comfortable finding men attractive for most of my life. I hid it from everyone, even myself. I had just starte
The next afternoon, Gael, Hakeem, and I are standing in front of the packhouse as a black Chevy Tahoe pulls into the drive. The windows are heavily tinted, so I can’t see any of the car's occupants. Gael kisses me on the head before walking over to the car. Hakeem squeezes my hand, while we wait for our alpha to greet his people. An Indian man steps out of the driver’s side of the door. He is about average height for a werewolf, at around six feet. His toffee colored complexion and coal black hair catch the late afternoon light, his hair curling around his ears. He leans back with his hands on his lower back to stretch, causing his shirt to rise on his abs and revealing a swirl of ink up his side. Obviously, this is Declan. Gael opens the passenger door in the front and back seats. Out of the front steps a petit
The next week is long. And difficult. And so fucking busy. But we are finally ready for the alpha meeting. Many of the wolves have been moved around to make room for all of the visiting wolves.The construction for Devin’s parents’ house was made a priority and Dad and his new mates moved in earlier this week. This left Dad’s old suites open for Xander, Devin, and Arya to move into. Gael, Hakeem, and Meredith took my old rooms. Gael’s sister, Carmen, and her mate are staying in the old Delta suite and Karamea, his beta, is staying in the old Gamma suite. This leaves the cottage and some of the guest rooms open for some of the visiting wolves.But it still wasn’t enough space. Some of the unmated warriors had to move back into their parents’ houses for the time being to lea
