I’m heading towards the kitchen when I hear footsteps.

“Oh Vixen, I need you,” Griffyn sings playfully, coming up behind me in the hall.

My heart flutters.

Then his words sink in, heneedsme.

“Right, you need to recharge.” I say it more to remind myself than taunt him. I feel more raw after mating Felix, I don’t think this casualness can continue with Griffyn.

He spins me around, pressing me against the wall before a hand slams down next to my head. His teeth latch onto my neck as he sucks softly on the skin there. He chooses the opposite side of Felix’s mark, I don’t think he’s noticed it yet. Griffyn slowly kisses up my jaw until I feel the faintest pressure on my lips. His eyes stare into mine.

“Vixen, I might not be completely full on power, but that has nothing to do with me wanting you right now,” Griffyn whispers against my lips.

It doesn’t? Could he want me like I want him?

Griffyn crowds against me further until I’m completely stuck between the wall at my back and his hard body at my front.

“You smell like him.” He leans back in surprise. “You mated.”

I nod.

His eyes are desperate as he searches my face. “Does this mean we’re over?”

Griffyn looks hurt and worried.

“It doesn’t have to be.” Deep breath. Truth time. “I don’t want it to be, but it can’t be casual anymore.”

I wait for his rejection, for him to tell me he doesn’t want me like that but it never comes. He smiles.

“Deal.”

He leans in pressing his lips against mine, slowly moving them with his until his tongue can drag across.

I pull away, flustered by that kiss. “Deal?”

“Yes, deal. We’re more. I want more too.”

Relief almost makes my legs give out. I mated Felix, but I didn’t lose Griffyn. I could have them both.

I kiss Griffyn while he lifts me into his arms, carrying me upstairs with my legs wrapped around his waist. He takes me back to Felix’s room, setting me on the bed and climbing in after me.

Instantly, Felix adjusts so there’s enough room for all of us. I fall asleep settled between both of them, any thoughts of food forgotten.

Seven

Felix

Anna is my mate.

She chose to accept me and form our bond and I’m the luckiest man in the fucking world. It felt sudden but the switch flipped and she wasn’t willing to wait any longer for her fated mate. I understand it.

We come downstairs still entangled with each other. I can’t keep my fucking hands off her smooth skin. I want to bite and lick every inch of her until everyone knows she’s mine.

At least that sexy as fuck claiming mark will do that for me.

I pull Anna against me, capturing her mouth as we enter the kitchen. I ignore them as they voice their surprise at our mating, but I do tug the neck of her shirt down so they can see my mark more clearly. I’m sucking on her bottom lip when a cough interrupts us.

“If you two can pull yourselves away from each other for a few minutes then we have something to deal with,” Aksel’s annoying as fuck voice says.
