“What happened?” he asks, sounding a little confused.

“I asked you to mark me, we had a little visit from the fates, and bam, you passed out.”

“Wow,” he laughs. “That’s kind of crazy.”

“I figured it might help, and it did.”

“How long have I been sleeping?”

“Seven hours, maybe. Are you feeling better?”

He nods slowly. “I am. I was worrying too much. Everything felt out of control.”

“But it wasn’t …”

“Because the fates were involved.”

I shrug, reaching out to stroke his dark blond hair back from his forehead.

“It’s a mess, isn’t it?” he asks.

I smile. “It’s sexy bed hair. We all should be so lucky. Mine looks like a bird’s nest in the mornings.”

“You know this whole thing has been so …”

“I know,” I say. “It’s been crazy and upsetting and now it’s all kinds of wonderful.”

“Where is everyone?” he asks, as he reaches out for my hand.

“Oh, um, they’re downstairs. We’d had kind of a movie day. Dinner’s in an hour or two. Rueben convinced us we need to order pizza.”

He smiles. “Good. Get everyone up here while I go wash up.”

I blink at him. “Get everyone …”

“It’s my turn to claim our mate, and I want to make sure she has everything she wants.”

Oh my God. He’s completely serious, and my body reacts as if he just licked all my sensitive parts at once. My heat triggers with a gust of my perfume and a fresh outpouring of slick into my panties.

“Of course, Lead Alpha Bishop.”

If these are the kind of orders he’s going to give as my lead Alpha, I’m definitely going to enjoy myself in this house.

Chapter ninety-nine

Bishop

Everyone’s waiting in Sapphire’s room when I get out of the shower and make my way back in there, naked and ready to claim our one true mate. Sapphire’s already naked on the bed, with Rueben beside her in his boxers. Gus is half dressed standing next to the dresser and Scout is fully dressed on the floor next to the bed.

“No clothes are needed in here,” I tell them.

It’s not as if we haven’t seen each other naked before.

No one’s shy around this house.

Rueben whips his underwear off and launches it across the room.

Gus snorts as he starts unbuttoning his jeans.
