Olivia

My mind spins in circles as I meander through the house picking up the twins’ toys strewn everywhere. Guilt eats away at me for even entertaining the possibility that Kyle’s intentions are less than honorable. When did I start giving my traitorous mates the benefit of the doubt?

Stop it, Olivia! You’re being ridiculous! Kyle is one of the kindest, most caring people you’ve ever met. He’s been nothing but good to you. You will not let a stupid mate bond you don’t even want influence you to lose faith in him!

I’m still lost in my self-recrimination when I wander into Kaden’s office. The boys left their train set on the floor by his desk, just begging for someone to trip over it. Between the distraction of my inner dialogue and my eyes already scanning the floor, I don’t realize I’m not alone until someone clears their throat.

My eyes snap to the woman sitting behind Kaden’s desk. She’s got her stiletto clad feet propped up on his desk, one ankle crossed over the other. She’s w

    Kaden I stand outside my office for a minute wondering what the hell just happened. Not that I should be surprised since most of our interactions end with her handing me my ass. She has this way of doing it so I don’t even realize she bested me until she’s long gone. She’s unlike any woman I’ve ever met and I kinda love it. Shaking my head, I enter my office, intent on solving the “garbage’ mystery. I have a housekeeper to take out the trash, not that there’s ever much of it at the end of the day. But as soon as I cross the threshold, I see what she means. I take in Ana, sitting naked at my desk, a sight that should infuriate me. But all I can do is chuckle in appreciation of my mate’s sassy little spirit. She would have been totally justified in running from this room in tears. Instead, she held her head high, and delivered a beat down with her very smart mouth. But that moment of amusement passes quickly, replaced with white-hot rage. I thunder toward the devious little bitch, e

    Olivia “Remind me again why I agreed to this epic disaster.” I grumble to my wolf, throwing clothes haphazardly into a suitcase. “Nevermind! I don’t want to hear it.” “Pups are happy.” She huffs, fighting every move I make as I pack my things. “They're two! Ice cream for breakfast makes them happy! Taking every toy they own into the tub at bathtime makes them happy. It’s not hard!” I purposely misunderstand her point and she snarls in frustration. I don’t want to think rationally right now. I don’t want to admit how much fuller the twins’ lives have become since we moved in here. I don’t want to think about how attached they’ve become to their dads in such a short time. Or the fact that it will devastate them to leave.It’s my fault really. Technically, Kaden hasn’t done anything wrong. I made it clear to him I wouldn’t accept our bond so why shouldn’t he move on with his life? After everything that’s happened between us, it shouldn’t hurt to see him with someone else. But it do

    Declan “You want to tell me why the fuck our mate was packing her bags to leave tonight?” I round on Kaden as soon as we leave Olivia’s room. “Yeah, but it’s a long story and you’ll probably want a drink.” He looks drained and his tone is weary. It’s that alone that keeps me from jumping down his throat, silently following him to his office instead. He walks straight to the sideboard and pours us each a finger of whiskey. After handing me a glass, he sinks into the chair across from me with a groan that tells me more than any words could. In the wake of my injury, my best friend has been carrying the weight alone, and I can’t let him do that anymore. “Ana was here again today. Olivia walked in on her, found her sitting at my desk, naked.” He drops his head into his hands, exasperated. “I nearly fired the housekeeper for letting her in last time but she promised me it wouldn’t happen again.”. “We’ll deal with the house staff. What I want to know is what she said to my mate!” I

    Olivia Something smells mouthwatering in a very non-food sort of way. It's sensual and seductive and completely intoxicating. I suck in deep lungfuls, wishing I could bathe in it. But all that does is make my head fuzzy and my skin tingle. I let out a sultry moan as my clit throbs and slick coats my thighs. The aching need between my legs demands all my attention. I slip my hand into my panties, shoving two fingers inside the place I desperately need to be filled. Suddenly, an arm tightens around my waist, stopping my exploration, and hot breath blows over my ear, sending goosebumps racing across my skin. “I’m gonna have to stop you right there, rosebud. I only have so much control and you’re about to decimate it.” “Declan?” I turn over, burying my face in his neck. “Why do you call me rosebud?” I slur between licking his skin like a thirsty kitten. A little voice tells me that’s the wrong response but I can’t seem to care. He barks out a laugh “You find me in your bed uninvited a

    Kaden I push back from my desk with a frustrated groan, rubbing my sore, tired eyes. I’ve been up all night, looking for any information that might explain what Ana and her father are up to. But it’s hard to focus when I can’t stop thinking about my mate. With every passing day, it gets harder not to hold her, touch her, show her how much I need her. Every day without her forgiveness is a dagger to my heart, and it’s been so long, I’m bleeding out on this old ugly-ass rug. Then there’s the permanent hard-on I’m walking around with lately. My body literally aches for her, my muscles sore like I went a few rounds with a heavy weight champ and lost. Badly. It makes me sick to my stomach to think how she must have felt all these years, rejected and separated from her mates. Not to mention the pain of all our affairs. Every one of them unfulfilling, meaningless, and in no way worth the suffering we put her through. “Fuck!” I throw my blank notepad across the room, more evidence of my

    Kaden “Kaden!” Declan barks, His hand shoots out, covering my mouth just seconds before I manage to bond Olivia against her will. “What the fuck are you doing? Put your fangs away before I rip them from your skull!” “Fuck!” I jerk back, shaking off the haze that had me under its spell. I look down at Olivia, horrified at what I’d nearly done, but she’s deep in the thralls of heat, grinding her pert ass against my shaft while jerking Declan’s cock with her hand. “You good, brother?” Declan watches me warily. “Fuck, No! That was too close! I almost took her choice from her. Again! How could I fucking do that to her, Dec?” I almost ruined everything. She would have been tied to me forever but she would hate me for it. What the fuck was I thinking? I start to crawl off the bed, too ashamed to stay. But Declan grabs my arm, pulling me back. “It’s the heat man, it fucks with your brain. But I won’t let you do anything you’ll regret and you’ll do the same for me, right? She needs us

    Declan “That’s it, baby. Ride my cock. Take what you need.” Kaden purrs. I stop in the doorway to admire the sight of my mate’s naked body, her tits, a perfect handful, jiggling as she bounces on Kaden’s cock. Every time she rises, I can see her pink pussy lips puffy and swollen, stretched wide around Kaden, his thickness filling her completely. It’s a fucking beautiful sight. She’d been sleeping when I slipped out to call Ellie to check on the boys. Apparently she woke up needy again in the short time I was gone. Every time we think her heat is ebbing, it flares to life again. Not that either of us are complaining. The scene in front of me is nothing short of erotic, and my semi becomes a full-fledged steel rod the longer I watch. Deciding Kaden’s had her to himself long enough, I cross the room to join them. “Room for one more?” I cup her cheek, turning her head to lock her in a steamy kiss. “Yes. Need you both.” She pants, breathless from the exertion. “My greedy little

    Olivia I’ve lost all track of time, huge chunks of consciousness stolen by this never-ending heat. So when I fail to pass out completely after our last round of sex, leaving me with a rare moment of clarity, I’m shocked to say the least. I’m even more surprised at the declaration Declan makes while he mistakenly assumes I’m incoherent. “You’re everything to me” He whispers. “It’s torture knowing I’m going to lose you.” Why would he say those things if he didn’t mean them? I assumed this would be the time their true colors would shine, that he and Kaden both would take advantage of the extended fuck-fest, get it out of their system, and be happy to pretend it never happened afterward. But Declan sounded . . . heartbroken. I’m not sure how I feel about that. My wolf purrs contentedly, easily believing both her mates to be loyal, trustworthy, and devoted to us unconditionally. I wish I had her confidence. But my head is too fuzzy to sort it out now. My heat spikes, erasing my ability

    Brynlee Who am I? It’s the last thing I ask myself before I fall asleep and the first thing that comes to mind the minute I wake up. Who am I now that the person I used to be no longer exists. Sweet, innocent Brynlee is gone. She died the moment Xavier cornered her in that coffee shop all those weeks ago, even if she didn’t know it yet. But when he, and then his son Xander, put their hands on me, brutalized me in unspeakable ways, there was no coming back from that. No, sweet, innocent Brynlee, the girl everyone loved, who never put a toe out of line, she burned to ash in those moments. But what’s awoken in her place is something I can’t begin to wrap my head around. Contemplating a question I can’t stop asking myself but that has no easy answer is hard. Going to sleep and never waking up would be easier. But I don't. I won’t. For them. Everything I do is for them, the people that love me. My family who would never recover from my loss. A sentence I can’t impose upon them, even if

    Olivia "That's the last box," I announce, setting down a container marked 'Isla's stuffed animals' in what will become the nursery of our new packhouse. The sprawling structure sits perfectly between Glass Lake and Crimson Moon territories, a physical representation of the bridges we've built between our packs.Through the window, I watch Ryan and Reegan directing the placement of outdoor furniture while Kat and Declan’s mom, Isabella, supervise the unpacking of the kitchen. Having Kaden's and Declan’s parents move in with us feels right – the pups adore their grandparents, and after everything we've faced, keeping family close has become even more important.My own parents chose to stay in their home, a decision I understand completely. Brynlee needs the familiar comfort of those walls right now, needs the safety of the place she's known her whole life while she heals. The haunted look in my sister's eyes is slowly fading, but her recovery will take time. Time, and probably vengeance

    OliviaSunlight streams through our bedroom windows as I drift awake between my mates. Every inch of my body tingles with pleasant soreness, marked and claimed exactly as it always should have been. Kaden's chest rises and falls steadily against my back while Declan's arms wrap around me from the front, both of them holding me close even in sleep.Last night was . . . transformative. The "do-over" of that pivotal moment didn't just create new memories, it healed something deep inside me I hadn't even realized was still wounded. Every word they spoke, every touch they bestowed, every mark they left replaced old pain with new joy.Memories of last night flood through me, making me shiver between them. The way Kaden's voice broke when he finally said the words he should have said years ago: "My wolf has been reaching for you since that first moment." How Declan's hands trembled as he traced reverent patterns on my skin, whispering "Our missing piece, always our missing piece."Kaden stirs

    Declan I never considered myself much of a voyeur, never saw the appeal of watching others have all the fun. But with Liv, I could watch her in the throes of pleasure, her gorgeous body writhing in ecstasy all damn day. The only thing better is bringing her that pleasure myself. And now, it’s my turn. "My beautiful Luna," I breathe, crawling over her body where she reclines against Kaden’s chest. "I was lost without you, even when I didn't know what I was missing. Every instinct told me to protect you, to keep you close, but I fought it because I thought I had to." Kaden lifts her thighs, placing them on either side of his, opening her wide for me. Her pussy lips are swollen, her clit peeking out from under its hood. And a mixture of her slick and Kaden’s cum drips from her cunt. The sight is fucking erotic. "The day you left Glass Lake, something in me broke.” I whisper against her lips, kissing them softly and swallowing her moans when I scoop their cum onto my fingers and push

    Kaden Olivia writhes beneath me as I eat her out like a man possessed. I lap at her folds, not wanting to miss a single drop of the delicious juices she’s making just for me. I won’t stop until she’s squirting all over my face. But not yet. I feel her struggling to focus as my tongue moves between her legs. She thinks I’m teasing her, taking my time, and it’s making her desperate. That’s how I always want her, desperate for me. But it’s not my intention to torture her, not tonight anyway. "I should have accepted you the moment you told us," I breathe against her skin, my warm breath over her sensitive nub making her cry out. "The way my wolf reached for you, the emptiness I felt when you left . . .” I trail off so I can circle her entrance with the tip of my tongue, missing the delicious taste of her. “I was so caught up in what I thought I needed that I missed what was right in front of me."I suck her hard little clit into my mouth and flick it with my tongue. She trembles benea

    Kaden Listening to Olivia confront Kyle twists something in my chest. Her words about those lonely years, about crying herself to sleep knowing we were so close yet couldn't see her, they haunt me. Even though she's forgiven us, even though our mate bonds now pulse strong and true, the guilt gnaws at me."You're brooding," Declan observes as we wait for her outside the prison."I'm thinking," I correct him, an idea forming. "About that horrible fucking night. The first time she tried to tell us about the bond."Understanding dawns in his eyes. I don’t need a mate bond to feel his own regret surge, to see it in his eyes. "The ballroom, the night before we left for training.""We should have recognized her then. Should have felt what she was trying to tell us." The memory of her face that night, hopeful and terrified, makes my wolf whine. "What if we could do it over?"Declan raises an eyebrow. "You want to recreate that night?""But do it right this time.

    Olivia “Where are you off to, rosebud?” Declan steps out of the office doorway just as I’m walking by. I was hoping to sneak out without having this conversation but apparently fate isn’t on my side today. I sigh, knowing I can’t lie to him and knowing he won’t like my answer. “I’m going down to the cells to see Kyle.” I answer honestly. “What did you say? Because I’m sure I must have heard you wrong.” Kaden’s gaze meets mine as Declan ushers me inside the office, anxiety radiating off of both men. "I need to see him," I say quietly, watching Kaden and Declan's expressions darken. "I need answers.""Like hell you do," Declan growls, pacing the room. "Kyle worked with Xavier, Olivia. He was part of everything that's happened. You know this. Why would you want to see him after everything he’s done?"Kaden's silence is almost worse than Declan's anger. Through our mate bond, I feel his rage warring with the need to protect me from more pain."He saved my life," I remind them softl

"I need to."Kaden's fingers thread through my hair while Declan's thumb traces circles on my palm. Through our bonds, I feel their immediate support, though tinged with protective concern."Are you sure?" Declan asks, his voice gentle. "I know things have gotten better between you. But after how they dismissed your pain, can you really forgive them completely?""That's why I need to do this." I lean into Kaden's touch, drawing strength from his steady presence. "Watching Brynlee fight her way back, seeing how fragile life can be . . . I don't want to carry this weight anymore. And with Hester's chaos spell possibly influencing them . . .""It doesn't excuse everything," Kaden points out quietly.

It’s been weeks we’ve done nothing but try to track Xander and we’re no closer to finding him. I miss Liv and the pups.” “Same.” Declan admits. “But what choice do we have? With what Brynlee shared, it’s more important than ever to find him.” "We've been neglecting her," I say, watching Declan pace our office like the caged wolf he is. "All this focus on tracking Xander, securing the territory, it’s our responsibility. But so is taking care of our Luna, our family.""She understands." Declan stops at the window, his shoulders tight. "But you're right. When was the last time we had a moment just for us? No pack business, no threats, no interruptions?"Through our restored mate bonds, I feel Olivia's exhaustion. She's been splitting her time between pack duties, the children, and visiting Brynlee. Always putting everyone else first. I
