Jonah looked down and then back at me. “She won’t let anyone but Betty tend to her. She cringes away from everyone else, including her Uncle Tito. We aren’t sure what has changed, but Jax thinks delayed trauma.” He gave an empathic glance to the wolf that trotted up to his side. “She cried for Amelia last night. Betty got her calmed down. We didn’t want to interrupt you guys if we didn’t have to. Jax thinks the poor little thing is wracked with guilt, thinking this whole thing is her fault because she snuck out to play in the jungle.”
“Dammit. We should have just gone back to Amelia’s was once we were done with our run.” Now, I felt guilty and selfish for keeping Amelia and Miguel alone with me for the night.
“Don’t. Her tears are not on you. Though having Amelia in her house may bring Molly out of her shell so we can assure her this wasn’t her fault, while still making it clear we have rules and boundaries for a reason.”
“Agreed.”
Jonah handed me a basket and a small duffel bag I hadn’t noticed him bring. “Betty sent breakfast for all three of you. Ham steaks, scrambled eggs, bacon, biscuits, and sausage gravy. She thought Amelia might need a little extra after having to heal from her wounds yesterday. The bag contains clothes for all of you. I grabbed extra from your and Miguel’s house for Amelia. Everything else is as it should be, so don’t worry about rushing back right now. Enjoy your breakfast with your mates.”
His words had me turning back around. “How did you…?” I didn’t complete my question, but he still knew what I was asking.
He tapped his nose. “I smelled the beginning of the change in you all earlier. I knew it wasn’t the time, and I haven’t told a soul. That’s for you and your mates to do when you are ready.”
“Thank you.” I turned and walked away. Jonah’s complete acceptance took a small weight off my heart. If he could accept us as a trio, then shouldn’t everyone else as well?
Joy settled into my soul as I tucked the basket into the back corner, shifted into my fur, and curled my body around both of my mates. A few more hours of sleep would do us all good.
Safe and happy.
My tiger hadn’t spoken this much to me in a very long time.
Yes, we are. Now sleep.
His emotions radiated through me. There was a joy I had never felt from him before.
Protect.
Always,I replied in kind as I snuggled back into our little nest of fur.
I woke up back in my skin. I had shifted sometime during sleep. I hadn’t done that since I was a cub. It was then I noticed another body snuggled up to mine, and an arm thrown over my chest, a head lying on my chest. My body reacted to Amelia’s closeness even before I was fully awake. I fought the urge to roll her over and take my time tasting her body, until she awoke and, then fill her wet warmth with my ever-throbbing cock. The thought of watching Miguel suckle those dusky nipples, wringing moans of pleasure while I pounded deep, almost had me coming on the spot like a randy teenager. I finally shifted my gaze to where Miguel had lain to find him naked and awake as well.
Looked like I wasn’t the only one who shifted while we slept.
