I have Maia’s best interests at heart, and my wolf knows it. No matter how selfish he’s feeling, he won’t ever manage to overpower me when she’s my motivating factor.
“I’m not selfish, human, I want to protect our mate,” he argues. “She loves me. Let me show her how much I love her.”
“Showing her you love her should start with respecting her body and her mind. She’s not ready for us yet, and we both know it. She brought us a daughter, she gifted us her soul. Be grateful for that, and wait your fucking turn.”
“Another child to a wolf mother would be a boon.”
Maia’s still grieving. She loves us, that’s abundantly clear in the way she feels and even in the way she talks. Ryan is her first love, but not her only. I fully understand that there’s a place in her heart for all five of us.
But she’s still grieving him. She’s still in survival mode as she tries to make it through each day. She’s relying on us, letting us in, but she’s also giving so much of herself to us as she works through these problems we’re facing.
“It would not be a fucking boon when the mother hasn’t fully fucking healed,” I roar, and there’s stunned silence as I realise I shouted it in the car for all of my brothers to hear.
“Max is the same way,” Alex says after a beat of awkwardness. He continues driving and keeps his eyes on the road. “He’s adamant that you mark her so that we can and that she becomes a wolf. Then, once it’s safe, we fill her with as many babies as we physically can.”
“We all know your wolf wants to fuck another pup into her. That’s not a surprise,” I say, trying to sound humorous, despite my annoyance.
“You’re not wrong, and honestly, Maia rolls with it.” Alex’s chuckle relaxes me slightly.
“She knows?” I ask, confused.
He nods. “Maia’s willing to enable the breeding kink that Max and I have because she’s perfect.”
“Fluffy and I just want to be with her. To smell her. To cuddle her.” Ben leans between the two front seats and grins at me. “To let us fuck her after you three have.”
I snort, shaking my head as he sits back in his seat. “So, we’re all fucked, huh?”
“For her? Always.”
We approach Maia’s house, and I freeze as we get closer, and I see a man in her driveway. She’s not alone, and the emotions that I’ve been feeling from her make a lot more sense.
As we come to a stop outside her house, my fury builds. I can’t see his face, but the blond hair makes it very fucking apparent who this is.
Ethan fucking Grey.
Alex stops the car, turning the engine off, and the three of them immediately vacate the car. I take a pause and examine my mate properly.
“Get to her!” Orion roars. “Protect her.”
She’s fucking beautiful, but the fear that thuds in my chest is only overpowered by her anger. I hate seeing the tears dripping down her face, the redness of her eyes. I hate the strong, bitter scent of her turmoil, and I want to crush the bastard who has done this to her.
Her rosy lips are plump, and I guarantee they’re so soft from all the tears, but this isn’t a pain I can kiss away.
But that only angers Orion and I further.
“Kill him. Our mate is not his. Gouge out his?—”
“Enough.” I can’t go forth and keep my calm when my wolf is ready to unleash our murderous side.
I reach over and grab the keys from the ignition, pocketing them, and climb out of the car. Alex might not have been thinking about our cousin’s escape strategy, but I am.
I sniff the air, my eyes narrowing as I realise the biggest issue we’re facing.
“Fuck!” Orion roars in my mind.
I take in the way Maia’s relaxed into Seb’s hold, letting him support her, the way we’re meant to. Alex has Phoebe’s car seat in hand, and I relax knowing that both of my girls are safe.
Ben’s tense as he fights with Fluffy, but I know that the two of them will merge together as one when the time calls for it.
