“Forever and ever,” Ben says, clapping his hands. “We’ll have more babies and?—”
“For now, let’s just trial it out on a month by month basis,” Alex says, growling low in his throat when both Ben and Christopher go to complain. “We’ll reassess at the end of the month, okay?”
I nod slowly. “I suppose so.” It’s not like I have much choice.
But, honestly, I wouldn’t be staying in this house even if I did have the choice.
“Now, tell us what you need, and we’ll get it sorted for you,” Alex says, glancing around the room.
It can’t be that terrible of an idea to stay with them for a month, right?
Iwatch the four men around me arrange Sebastian’s bedroom so that it’s more accommodating for Phoebe and I. I sit in the armchair in the corner of the sage green room, and I’m doing my best to emit only positive feelings whilst I hold my daughter in my arms.
She doesn’t understand I’m annoyed because four random men brought me here without my permission and have since made it one of the most annoying decisions I have ever been forced to agree to.
She can’t grasp the idea that these men could be serial killers, or rapists, or even just your run of the mill drug dealer.
She doesn’t get that. Instead, she picks up on my feelings and how I carry myself, and I won’t upset her just because I’m angry.
And terrified.
“Do you prefer pink sheets or purple sheets?” Ben asks, holding up two brightly coloured bed sheets. “We got the pink sheets for?—”
“I don’t think she cares right now, Ben,” Alex says, nudging his brother away from me. At least one of the Wolfe brothers is self-aware. “We’ll do pink this time, and then buy her some fresh ones so we can rotate them out, okay?”
Smart move.
My anger builds the more and more they make this room comfortable and homey, for me.
It’s irrational, sure.
I should be grateful they’re being kind enough to at least make me comfortable.
But I’m not.
My hormones are all over the place, and I can’t decide whether I want to cry or scream. I do know my body is struggling to contain the upcoming tsunami, and when it does unleash, it’ll be brutal.
“All sorted, princess,” Christopher says, and I grind my teeth together. “We’ll get?—”
“Out,” I say with a nod. “Sounds absolutely perfect.”
He frowns, but at Alex’s insistence, both he and Ben are shepherded out of the room. I don’t think any of them realised Seb didn’t leave.
But I did.
And just like earlier, when I met Orion, unexpectedly… I think it’s time for me to meet Sebastian’s alter ego.

SEBASTIAN
“Sebastian?” my mate whispers, eyeing me warily. Her baby blue eyes are focused on me, an almost curious quality about them. But I can also smell the anger and exhaustion that’s entwined with her scent. The anger makes the usually sweet vanilla smell burnt, and her exhaustion dilutes the fizzy orange so I only get the occasional whiffs of it.
Her dark hair is pulled up onto the top of her head, a sort of messiness to it, with loose curls framing her face. I want to unleash it and run my hands through the silkiness, touching her in all of the ways my wolf and I crave.
She’s so beautiful, so fucking mine.
Her scent makes my mouth water—it makes my dick throb in fucking anticipation. The sparks between us are electrifying, and I’m tempted to spend all of my time holding onto her to nourish the connection between us.
