Aspen “What the fuck are you doing?” Asher knocks my phone out of my hand. Elena passed out almost immediately after the earth-shattering orgasm we gave her. But even in her sleep, she’s aroused and restless. She’ll wake soon and she’s going to want Mason here when she does. “I’m calling Mason. You heard her ask for him. She needs him here.” I pick my phone up off the floor, glowering at him. “No!” He barks. “This was supposed to be our night. We can get her through this. We don’t need him!” “Asher,” I sigh, shaking my head at him. “This is her first heat since finding her mates. She deserves to share it with all of us if that’s what she wants. “Are you really so selfish that you’d take that away from her? Because that’s fucked up and I doubt she’ll thank you for it when it’s over and she realizes you refused to get him for her.” “Fuck!” He growls angrily before resignation sets in. “Fine. Call him. I’ll be in the kitchen making her some food.” He stomps away and I g

Mason Ellie is dead to the world. She’s laying on her side facing me with Asher snuggled at her back. One heavy arm is draped over her waist, his hand cupping her lush tit. Her blond curls are a tangled mess and her face is still flushed, giving her that freshly fucked look, and she’s never looked more beautiful. I’m staring at her gorgeous face, feeling like the luckiest bastard alive as memories of the past few days filter through my consciousness. Between the three of us, we took her in every way imaginable and as I suspected, the surplus of sex toys came in handy at the peak of her heat when she was so needy there was no time to breathe, let alone recover. A huge grin spreads across my face as I remember the way we worked together so seamlessly, confirming my belief that the four of us were always meant to be a team. Just what that team will look like remains to be seen. Asher and I found a way to work together, even sharing Ellie between us a few times, but nothing more. As

Mason What the actual fuck? That’s the only thought my mind can process at the moment. That and peeling the overly affectionate she-wolf off of me. “Um, Mace?” Aspen gets my attention and I don’t miss the way his arms are draped over Ellie's shoulders and crossed over her chest, holding her steady. “Would you like to introduce us to your, uh, friend?” There’s an edge to his tone telling me he’s no more thrilled about my current circumstances than Ellie is. In fact, they’re wearing almost identically pissed off looks, eyes narrowed and nostrils flaring. But it’s the murderous rage in Ellie’s eyes that kicks my brain into gear, allowing me to respond to his request. “Uh, yeah. Yes.” I stutter as I manage to put some distance between me and my attacker. “This is Mindy, my secretary. Mindy this is-” “Oh, hello!” Mindy interrupts, seeming to notice we aren’t alone for the first time. “Are these friends of yours, Macy?” She steps back into me, pressing her tits against my arm.

Asher I thought watching Elena leave with Mason and my twin would be the hardest thing I’d ever do but I was wrong. It turns out, waking up this morning knowing she isn't here, that I won’t see her today or any day soon, is much much worse. All I want to do is pull the comforter back over my head and pretend the world doesn’t exist. Instead, I grab my cell phone off the bedside table and check it for messages. Ignoring my disappointment when I don’t find any, I decide to swallow my pride and send her a message instead. Me: Hey gorgeous! Hope you had a good trip to Sacred Moon. Please call or text to let me know you’re safe. I wait a few minutes but the message remains unread. Telling myself she’s probably still sleeping, tired from her long journey, I toss my phone aside and head for the shower. If I’m going to be separated from the love of my life, I might as well do something useful with my time. The problem is, Elena’s scent still permeates every corner of our house and i

Mason “I, Elena Stone, daughter of the Glass Lake Alphas, reject you . . .” Aspen and I both reach for her at once, slapping our hands over her mouth before she can finish the rejection, my hand landing on top of his. Holding it there so she can’t speak, I take a minute to breath before I say something I’ll regret. Fury rips through me, thinking about what almost happened. When I consider how quick she is to always assume she’s the problem, a burden for others to bear, all I feel is rage. At her parents, and myself for the things I said to her before I left. I swallow back the growl threatening to escape and try not to bark as I say what I need her to hear. “I’m going to talk now and you’re going to listen!” I can’t help the command in my tone, my Alpha side riding me hard. “What I said to my grandfather was insensitive. I didn’t stop to think about how it would sound to you. But you also misunderstood what I meant. “I only wished that I had left someone more capable in charge
