I furiously go back to licking her pussy, adding my fingers to the mix and like a good, good girl, she rides my face like I asked her to.
She screams as her orgasm rips through her, the sound pushing me to my own edge. She shakes, her thighs tightening, trying to squeeze me out, but I keep her spread open, flexing my muscle as I wring every delicious second out of her orgasm that it’s willing to give her.
She shudders and whines and her juices flood my mouth.
I let go, shooting ropes of cum onto her stomach while Tai fills me up from behind. He bends over to press his torso to my back, and I collapse beside Maddie as Tai lets go of me to lie down on her other side.
She lifts her head to rest it on his chest, her fingertips drawing patterns on his skin as I curl around her side and try to catch my breath.
We stay like that for a moment. The three of us tangled together, sharing breath, sharing in the silence.
I tense when I realize Kaz will have felt what we’ve just done. Will he be angry? Fuck.
Sensing the shift, Maddie pushes herself up.
“I should probably go.” She tries to shuffle to the edge of the bed, but I hook my arm around her waist and pull her back down, nuzzling her neck as I hug her closer to me.
“I’ll walk you back soon. Just stay with us for a few more minutes, okay?”
She fits herself against me, cuddling into my side as she goes back to drawing those patterns on Tai’s chest. “Okay, but just a few more minutes.”
As silence falls between us, I feel the intensity of the emotions coming from both Tai and Kaz. I know what Tai’s are about. He doesn’t want Maddie to leave us tonight. He wants her to stay here, to sleep in his bed, and to wake up with us in the morning.
Kaz’s, however, are more difficult to interpret. The usual undercurrent of frustration when he’s with his mother is there, but something else is there, too. Something that feels a hell of a lot like despair.
NINETEEN

K A Z
Whenever I’m summonedto my mother’s office, it’s for a lecture about one thing or another. At this hour, the lecture she needs to give must not be able to wait until morning, which makes me equal parts curious and angry.
I was looking forward to spending the evening with Maddie and my packmates. The dynamic starting to emerge between them and her when I was called away was interesting—to say the least. Sure, it also brought up an age-old argument between me and Tai, but that’s not her fault.
I know how he feels about the monarchy and how he feels about her, but seeing them together suddenly made me wonder for the first time if perhaps he has a point about us not needing the monarchy to do the things we want to do. I’m not an idiot. I’m not about to abdicate in the name of love, but I’m fascinated by the way she matches with each of us.
It’s almost surreal that one person can be so uniquely capable of providing all three of us with exactly what we need. She calls me out and forces me to be honest, to be introspective, and to answer the questions I’m not usually called upon to answer. All those questions I usually only answer in my head because most are too afraid to ask them out loud.
It’s like she holds up a mirror and shamelessly, fearlessly makes me look into it. But she does it with a certain measure of vulnerability and understanding. She’s fierce, but she’s not hard. That juxtaposition isn’t easy to find in a person.
Then there’s the way she keeps up with Wolf. Gives what she gets and doesn’t seem to tire of it. To be fair, I only saw them together firsthand for a short time tonight, but it only confirmed what I already knew to be true from what I’ve felt from him when they’ve been together.
The rush. The exhilaration of finding an Omega who not only enjoys his boundless energy and great sarcastic wit, but equals it.
And Tai…I’ve never seen anyone but us draw him out of his shell that way. She gives him the courage to speak his truth to someone outside of our pack. In a way, it’s like she’s giving him back the voice he thought he lost when he moved into the palace and chose to become part of my pack.
That’s fucking magical because it’s the one thing I’ve never been able to give him and the only thing I’ve wanted to for so long. As I knock on my mother’s office door, I know I’m going to have to take it away from him again.
Regardless of how fascinating, how magical, or how perfect she is, the one thing Maddie isn’t, is fit to be a royal. Her lack of breeding and connections eliminated her from being a true contender in this competition long before she was selected.
“Enter!” my mother calls from inside. I dip my head in a shallow bow as I open the door and stride into the inner sanctum.
This office is just that. It’s the epitome of an inner sanctum. The secrets that have been shared between these four walls, the decisions that have been made here…this is where the true power lies. This is where I’ll change the world for the better.
Ifit ever becomes mine—and that’s why I can’t let Maddie be the one to give Tai his voice back. Because when the sanctum passes to me, I’ll be able to do it not only for him, but for millions of others as well.
Even if a sense of deep despair grows within me when I think about not choosing her now. I’ve often found this office to be a place of clarity. A reminder of why I must diligently carry out my duties without fear or favor, but tonight, even as it has reminded me of that, I can’t help but feel like it’s not so great in here.
