As I remained beside Knox, his moments of wakefulness intermittently breaking the silence, I couldn't help but dwell on the possibility that Kael might have used intimacy to assert dominance over his brothers. Yet, I also remembered his vow to wait for his mate. It was a complex tangle of motivations and actions.Knox's voice broke through my contemplations. "Every time I wake up, you seem more troubled. What's on your mind, Sky?"I hesitated before asking, "You don't have any secrets, right? No hidden girlfriends I should know about?"He chuckled lightly, assuming a playful tone. "Nope, that's Ky's story, not mine."But I needed to know more. "Knox, are you a virgin?"His body tensed at the question, and he answered flatly, "No."His response hit me hard. I sat up to face him, noting his discomfort. "We don't have to talk about it now," I offered."No," he insisted, sitting up slightly, showing signs of healing. "It's important, Sky. I got caught up in several situations I shouldn't

Cassy's voice was soft, filled with a hint of nostalgia. "I remember some of those fights. I was just a kid, but they were intense. Dad changing the rules about feeling mate bonds on pack land... it did help. The fights didn't completely stop, but they weren't as bad."Ky looked at Cassy, a mixture of curiosity and concern in his eyes. "So, how long are you sticking around?" he asked.Cassy started organizing the food on the counter. "Just for dinner. Then I'm heading back to the hospital with Mom. She's... she's not doing great, Ky. Dad's condition is really taking a toll on her."Ky's expression softened. "Yeah, I can imagine. What about the twins? Are they eating with Ezra tonight?"Cassy chuckled. "Yeah, Mom reinstated Ezra. She's the only one who ever really got through to them. Well, to you three as well, from what I've heard."Ky ran a hand through his hair, letting out a sigh. "The twins shouldn't be in the middle of all this mess. It's better they're with Ezra."Cassy began t

As his slow, rhythmic movements brought me closer to the verge, his kisses became more emotional and more passionate. He paused, his breath hot against my ear. "Sky, tell me how you want this to happen. The second you climax, I'm right there with you."In between my ragged breaths, I managed to murmur, "Can you... like this?" But he whispered back a gentle "no."He pulled out and instructed softly, "Turn around." Positioning myself on my knees, leaning over the bed, he entered me from behind. A sharp cry escaped my lips at the sensation. His arms enveloped me as he leaned forward, kissing my shoulder tenderly. "I love you," he whispered as he reached around, bringing me closer to climax with his fingers while maintaining a slow, deliberate pace.I unraveled completely, the power of my release intensified by him inside me. Sensing my muscles tensing around him, he sat back on his heels, drawing me on top of him. He kept his arm wrapped tightly around my waist as his body tensed beneath

As Ky urged us out of the room, Kael's arm was firmly wrapped around my shoulder, his other hand gently supporting my injured wrist. We moved slowly, each step towards the medbay heavy with the weight of the moment.Upon reaching the medbay, the healers sprang into action, swiftly preparing to set my wrist. They offered pain medication, but I adamantly refused. The pain was excruciating as they worked to align the broken bones – my screams and thrashing a testament to the agony.Kael, Knox, and Kyran all pleaded with me to take the pain meds, their faces etched with concern and guilt. But my frustration and pain boiled over, and I lashed out, especially at Kael. "No... Because you three need to see me like this. In pain that your actions caused," I managed to say through gritted teeth, pointing accusingly at Kael before another wave of pain overwhelmed me.Kael's eyes, filled with torment, tried to look away, but Knox forcibly held him in place, making sure he witnessed the consequenc

Cuddled up with Ky in his bed, our arms wrapped around each other, I couldn't help but notice the calmness in his demeanor. Despite the noticeable sexual tension between us, Ky wasn't pushing for anything more. It totally differed from Kael's intense and possessive nature and even Knox's more subtle yet evident longing. Ky had lost his virginity long ago, and his experience in handling these complex emotions was evident. Lying there, facing each other, I pondered how each of the triplets was dealing with this unprecedented situation uniquely.Ky broke the silence with a soft kiss on my nose, whispering a gentle "goodnight." I nodded, snuggling closer to him, feeling a strange sense of peace in his embrace.I woke up to an empty bed the following day, a brief wave of panic washing over me until Ky reappeared, carrying beignets and coffee for breakfast. His thoughtfulness brought a smile to my face.As we ate, Ky remarked on Kael's unusual silence. "I'm honestly surprised Kael isn't bl
