AVA“We need to drag my parents in for this bit,” I bit my lip as I spoke. “Alex, there might be some things you can answer too, since you’ve always been like a second adoptive father to me.”They all nodded. I opened a link with my mum; her and my dad would be here within ten minutes. She even promised to stop by the kitchen for a tray of Paula’s cookies… she’s just the best, and Paula’s cookies are just the best.They reached us in no time at all, complete with what was easily one of the biggest trays of cookies I’ve seen in my life. We suddenly had a room full of wolves with watering mouths.“Paula’s also made you one of those caramel shortbreads you like so much, Ava,” my mum smiled.I clapped excitedly… It was bloody good shortbread. Paula made this salted caramel that was just spot on. Never had anything quite so good.Once everyone was settled with cookies and another cup of coffee, we got straight down to it.“Mum, dad… we need to know whatever there is to know about what happ
CALLUMAfter that delightful meeting… I felt absolutely terrible, and I knew Oscar, Theo and Noah did too. I couldn’t have told you what started it, why we thought it was the right thing to do… but like they said, it had to have started somewhere. There must have been a catalyst. Whether or not Ava still wanted to go away to the cabin after that though… I couldn’t blame her if she didn’t want to. That was not a pleasant trip down memory lane for any of us, and definitely wouldn’t have been for her. The four of us were assholes as children. I know I felt untouchable because I’m one of the Beta’s heirs, and I’m sure the others did too. It was probably even more extreme in Theo and Noah’s case since they were the Alpha’s heirs. Her having such bad self esteem issues until she started coming into her power would not have been helped by us. The four people who are supposed to protect and care for her through everything… and we put her through so much pain.After that meeting, Ava stood
AVAYesterday sucked, and badly. But that just made this trip even more necessary. Yes, we had security with us now. But that I could deal with.I just wanted to put my feet up, spoil my mates, and be spoiled. Rolling around in bed with them all would be good too.We ended up taking one of the seven seater SUVs Michael had arranged for us whilst I was unconscious because it was just easier. Us five plus Jeremiah and another warrior drove with all the luggage, and the other two warriors shifted and ran ahead to make sure the cabin was safe.Jacob and Amelia's cabin was in the middle of nowhere surrounded by beautiful forest. It was still in Blood Moon territory, but only just. It was far enough away from civilization that we wouldn't be bugged by anyone. Calling it a ‘cabin’ was a little derogatory too. Yes, it looked like a wood cabin. But it was enormous, and it had a second little cottage just behind it. The plan was that the warriors could use the cottage when they weren't on acti
AVAWe all relaxed by the river watching the waterfall for hours before we all started getting a little handsy.Theo pulled me to my feet, capturing my lips in a passionate, tongue-filled kiss, Noah stood behind me, his fingers trailing along my shoulders and down my back, sending a shiver down my spine.Callum and Oscar joined the bundle from my sides, both of them kissing down my neck. My skin was tingling all over, leaving me moaning between them at the sensation. “My Queen, my Kings?” Jeremiah’s voice cut through the clearing.I groaned, pulling myself out from the bundle.“Yes?”“I’m sorry to interrupt, my Queen. We’re very exposed here and it’s getting dark, I recommend we move back to the cabin.” He dropped to one knee, head bowed like he was expecting us to be mad.I could feel how uneasy he was at interrupting us, but looking after us is what I pay him for.“Jeremiah, stand,”I held out one hand to him, which he took and kissed the back of. “You’re just doing your job. Let us
AVAWe fell into bed after the first round, ending up with Oscar’s face buried in between my legs, Noah and Theo having their mouths on my breasts and Callum leaning over from above me, my head tilted towards him so he could devour my mouth. His fingertips were dancing down my neck, teasing along my collarbone.I tried to wind my fingers into Oscar’s hair, but Callum grabbed my wrists, pinning them above my head. I attempted to tilt my hips, grinding my core against Oscar’s face, but Theo and Noah’s hands just appeared on my hips, stopping me from moving.I was melting between them, dissolving into a puddle of desire and need. I moaned against Callum’s mouth, whilst fighting my body to keep still against the onslaught of sensations.Oscar curled two fingers inside me, pressing against that sensitive spot before adding a third finger and rubbing my clit with his thumb. He swirled his tongue around my opening where I stretched around his fingers, sucking and teasing until I whimpered as
AVAI meant exactly what I said.Dinner felt like it lasted an eternity, and by that time it was kind of socially acceptable for the five of us to dismiss ourselves… well. My Kings had been teasing me constantly. I had hands on my thighs, inside my t-shirt, dancing along the edge of my bra… the works. They definitely succeeded. By the time we finished dinner, I was dripping wet and more than ready for whatever the boys had all planned. And boy oh boy did they deliver on their promises.We woke up the next morning thoroughly sated, looking forward to another day to relax. It was a beautiful morning, truly beautiful.I was up first, as per, and when my Kings woke up, I was sitting in one of the chairs in the garden with a cup of coffee. I had a topic to broach with them today, and I wasn’t entirely sure what they were going to say… I knew, after all, that they were talking to Alpha Michael, even if I wasn’t supposed to know exactly why or what about.The five of us went for a run afte
AVAAfter that, I actually wanted to head home. I couldn't begin to describe just how badly I wanted my Kings to mark me again.I needed the closeness. I needed to feel safe.Home wasn’t a place anymore. It was the four of them. My Kings were my home.We headed back to the packhouse the next morning, reaching it in time for lunch. Of course they made me sit down and eat something before we could do anything else. And they insisted on making sure there was a doctor here just in case.“My Queen,” the doctor bowed his head slightly.“Hey, Doc.”“What can I do for you today?”“We just need you to hover in the pack house later on today in case we need you.”He raised one eyebrow. “Ava is insisting on us starting to redo the marks tonight, Doctor,” Callum interjected, voice sounding frustrated.“I see,” the Doctor nodded. “From a medical perspective, I don't see any reason for complications.” He gave me a small smile. “I would recommend waiting after the first one though, my Queen, just to
AVAWe knew it was very possible that the fourth and final marking could be rough. I even expected that I’d need to shift after.I was definitely right on that count. After Theo and I mated and marked, Artemis started freaking out. She was stressed and anxious because something wasn't right… but she also felt like she was a little power drunk. It was a strange, unpleasant combination.“I need to get outside.” I stumbled to stand, sprinting for the door. Once again, not even slightly caring that everyone in the packhouse would be seeing me naked.“Ava, wait!” Theo shouted from behind me. “You don’t have to do this alone.”He sprinted behind me, also not having gotten dressed. I heard another door slam as I ran, followed by the sounds of another three sets of footsteps.As soon as I was outside, I shifted, letting Artemis take the lead. As soon as she did, it was like my entire body just calmed down. It was the strangest and yet the best feeling.I could feel power coursing through my
