Rowan's face lit up as he looked up at the lodge, then at my mates, and back to me. "What can I say? I fell in love." He gestured to the lodge. "I fell in love with the lodge, the pack, and Kingsrose." He then motioned to my mates. "I fell in love with the feeling of brotherhood again." Lastly, he reached up and cupped my face in his hands. My breath hitching when he said, "And I fell in love with you, Rosie Mendoza."
Dreaming. I had to have been dreaming, because how else could I explain Rowan admitting he loved me? "I don't understand. I thought we couldn't be together."
"I thought so too," Rowan admitted. "But I learned that you should be allowed to have more than four mates if you so choose. Especially now that you're at full strength."
My cheeks were hurting so much from how wide I was smiling. I couldn't believe I was actually getting everything I wanted, including all five of the men I wanted. I was happier than I'd ever been in my entire life.
"So, my Rosie," Rowan spoke softly, tenderly, as his thumbs rubbed my cheeks. "Will you have me?"
I couldn't nod my head fast enough. "Oh, I'll definitely have you." I jumped into his arms, my legs wrapping around his waist as we sealed our love with a kiss. That must've been what his kiss yesterday was about. Rowan wanting to be with me. And now we could finally be together.
"Great, now there's another one," Kao said obnoxiously. He then narrowed his eyes at me. "You are planning to stop at five, right, Rosie?"
I pretended to think about it, then shrugged my shoulders. "Who knows. We're all still young after all."
"I'd be okay with it," Kai said simply, reaching to grab my hand and placed a gentle kiss to my lips. "Just as long as we will always stay together."
"You know we will," I assured him lovingly, then reached up to stroke the red streaks in his hair. It was an adjustment, but the look suited him. His hair wasn't the only one that went through a change. After last night, my usual all black hair was now sporting strips of turquoise in it. I didn't mind it too much, and clearly the color was a big part of my life anyway. The boys loved it too, so there was that.
"Just as long as they pull their own weight around here," Joaquin said. "No freeloaders allowed.”
"And as long as he can put up a fight," Byron added for good measure.
In all honesty, there was no chance of there being any more men in my life. With Rowan added, I finally felt complete. Nothing felt like it was missing. I had everything I could ever want from them. If there were going to be any new additions in our family, it'd likely be a more... infant size member. And one we'd have to wait nine months to meet. I wasn't sure if we would have kids in the future, but I wasn't knocking the idea. They were going to have five crazy daddies that would spoil them rotten. Heaven help them when they got older.
Why was I thinking about a baby growing up when I wasn't even pregnant?
"You know I love you guys," I said, looking into the faces of my five men who surrounded me, and enveloped me with their love.
"And we love you,” Byron said.
Turning to Rowan, I grabbed his hands and walked backwards into the lodge with a saucy look on my face. "Come on, Daddy. It's time we celebrate our new relationship, don't you think?"
Rowan's eyes darkened at the use of Daddy. A growl rumbled in his throat. "I would think so. I still owe you a spanking from the other day."
"Really," Kao said flatly. "You have a daddy kink now?"
"Jealous?" Rowan replied without taking his eyes off me.
"As if!" Kao cried out, and I believe it was Kai who I heard laughing.
I looked over Rowans shoulders at the rest of my mates. "You know, you guys can always join in."
"In that case, we're going to need a bigger bed," Joaquin commented, but not minding the idea of joining.
"We can always slide two beds together. Or three," Byron suggested.
I definitely liked the sound of that. "Great! Last one upstairs cums last!" I shouted, then ran up the stairs. It didn't take long to hear my men running up after me, and I knew it was it would only get better as our lives progressed together.
To think that an old wolf shifter fairytale turned out to be real, and I, Rosalinda Mendoza, was chosen to bear the Wolf Moon's gift. I rebelled against Fate by rejecting my fated mate, then harnessed the power gifted inside me to become the Queen of Wolves. If there was one thing I could thank Mother Moon for, it was for giving me this life. And for trusting me with a powerful gift. Thanks to her, I found my purpose in life. I was complete.
