Chapter 11: Leaving Her

[Sam’s POV]

Gia’s orgasmic and pleasurable moans were the most divine and euphonious music I have ever heard. None of us planned on taking it this far with her tonight. Granted she is our mate, and it is natural for mates to seal the bond upon first meeting each other. With her being human though, we wanted to wait and give her time, but she is so intoxicating.

I haven’t had issues with self-control since my early days of being a youngling vampire. “We need to take her home,” I said softly to Max and Damen. “I don’t want to let her go,” Max said with a low growl. “I don’t either, but...” I started to say when Damen interrupted. “We won’t be gone from her for long,” said Damen. The three of us looked down with a pouting sadness on our faces. This one human woman has managed to turn three adult male beasts into pudding in her little hands.

Damen lifted her legs to delicately put back on her pants, shoving her panties in his pocket. I couldn’t help but shake my head slightly and laugh a little as the perv pocketed them. Of course, I would have done the same. Max held her upper body while I placed her thin little black shirt back on and Damen grabbed her shoes and purse to carry to the SUV.

I picked her up out of Max’s lap and cradled her exhausted body in my arms. Feeling her so close to me had tingling butterflies dancing in my stomach and sparks flowing into me. “I will get Jason to send some pack warriors to keep a patrol on her and her son, until we can be with her again,” Max directed. “I don’t like the idea of leaving her, and I am going to stay with her until we can get everything worked out for her and her son to live at the mansion,” Damen said with a look of sternness. “That is fine, but from a distance so we don’t freak her out right away,” I ordered him. It was decided and Max went to talk to his Beta, Jason and Chris, his Gamma to arrange everything quickly.

As we stepped out the club via the VIP room exit to our SUVs parked in the alleyway, I caught a faint smell of burning flesh and hawthorn tree, which had me on heightened alert. Only certain types of demons reek of that combination of smells. These demons are expert hunters and assassins. I notice Max and Damen caught the smell as well, and Max mind links his warriors to inspect the vehicles before we get into the main one.  “All clear Alpha,” Jason declares to Max. “Let’s get in and get out of here quickly, but everyone keep an eye out to make sure we are not followed,” Max commands his crew with sense of urgency in his voice.

Max, Damen, Gia, and I ride in the middle SUV, with Max’s Beta in the vehicle ahead of ours and his Gamma in the one behind ours. I keep our gorgeous sleeping mate tightly in my arms, as Damen finds her address on her phone. Looking at her sleeping so contently I don’t want to leave her for the night. We have a council meeting to attend tomorrow morning, and we need to give her some time to process our new dynamic. “We will need to move her and her son to the mansion soon,” I say to them while staring at her.

“Agreed, and I will get all preparations made for them,” Max states. “I will do some research on the bond memory upload, while I watch her and until you both can be with us in a couple days,” Damen says with curiosity in his eyes. “It is odd for hunter demons to be in our territory without permission from one of us,” says Damen as Max lets out a growl.

[Max’s POV]

Damen has a great point. Only a few times in the history of our shared lands has any hunter demon breached our borders. This is not a coincidence, and for it to be at the club, so close to the four of us. “Let’s send out some scouts to track the hunter down. We will need at least two scouts from each of our packs, lairs, and covens on this mission,” I instruct with a hint of concern in my voice. “I agree. I think we should have Gia and her son meet with Trinton for a reading of her potential abilities as well,” Damen requests. Trinton is the high warlock of Saint Paul. He is a magnificent being with strong psychic abilities. He and his coven are also highly trusted allies to our three families. Sam and I nod our head in agreement with getting Trinton involved.

[Sam’s POV]

Listening to her breathing is more than comforting to me. Staring at the passing city lights, listening to her breathing, filling her chest rise and fall gently, I ponder what our future will be like. I cannot wait to meet her son. Thinking about the five of us as a family triples the butterflies in my stomach. The three of us will do anything for her and her kid.

As we approach our exit off I-94 and onto interstate 494, I feel a small pang in my chest, knowing I will have to leave her until the day after next. If she wasn’t human, we would pick her child up and take them both immediately to the mansion. However, this world is so very different from what she has been led to believe.

Warlocks, witches, fae, and mages have used powerful spells to cloak the world of the supernatural. They have also developed philosophies, religions, and other set constitutions that humans generally follow blindly. Only through close and intimate contact can a human possibly see us for what we are. There are some humans who know of some of our existence such as the Vatican church secret council members, higher level monks, some celebrities, some departments of governments around the world, and other confidential religious leaders. These humans gained knowledge primarily from covert research, but some had help from supernatural beings that enjoy mischief and chaos, mainly fae, demons and some angels. Yes, they all exist! This world is far more expansive in species than most humans could possibly conceive. Hell, at one point there were trolls and giants, most are extinct now though.

The vehicle pulls up to a small townhouse community, which appears quiet and safe. Our vehicle passes Beta Jason’s, and we pull alongside a truck the driveway of her end unit. Jason and Chris’ vehicles park at the other end in the guest parking spots. “I will bring her up and talk to her sister,” I affirm.

Max gets out first, opens my door and picks her up so that I can get out of the vehicle. I grab her shoes and purse before Max places her back in my arms. Thankfully the windows of the SUV are blackout tinted with only our driver in view, as we don’t want to worry her sister. Human women tend to have much to worry about, especially when it is night and multiple men are involved.

I walk her to the front door, knock gently and wait for the door to open. When it opens, a beautiful and slightly younger lady proceeds closer to the screen door between us. She shoots me a glare of suspicion before she opens the door. “What happened to Gia!” she declares with a look that could kill.

I immediately use my trance ability to take over the situation and to keep it from further aggravation. She steps aside as I carry Gia up to her room. I lay her in her bed and pull the covers over her before I place a longing kiss on her forehead. Before I leave, I alter her sister’s memory of how Gia got home.

 We pull out of her driveway to allow her sister to leave. Damen gets out of the vehicle to stay behind with some of Max’s warriors that arrived to watch over her and her son. Max and I gave a knowing look of frustration and pain of having to be away from her for the next day or so. Pulling away from her street, my heart clenches up and worry sets in.
