“Welcome to pack Rowe,” he smirked at Kane.

Kane’s face didn’t fall, in fact his smile widened as he kissed my forehead.

By joining the others in my heat, he had accepted his place in their pack.

If only I could be part of that pack.

The pack had come bounding up to the nest in the morning, filthy, covered head to toe in dirt and grinning. I was doing my best to rest and recover as several of my muscles were still screaming from our athletic pursuits, but they were clearly excited about something.

“Did you fall into a mud pit?” I asked Archer with a giggle, looking him over. “Don’t you dare enter this nest—I just got it clean!”

“Almost…but come see!” Archer grinned, practically pulling me out of the nest and out the door. How the hell did he have so much energy when we had just spent several days in a constant state of fucking? I wanted to nap for a year.

“Wait! I can’t go outside—Rouche,” I started to protest.

“Yes you can.” Gage grinned, he was in a similar state to Archer, covered in streaks of mud. Wearing a tight T-shirt that made his biceps look a little too prominent for my liking.

“Why?” I asked.

“As of this morning the whole property is now fenced in, ten foot high solid fencing, so you can wander and explore the property as much as you want!” Gage beamed at me. “We wanted to give you a bit more freedom without having to worry about Detective Dickbag.”

“Seriously!?” I asked, looking at Kane who was walking our way, shirtless despite the late season. Why was he always shirtless, and why did I still get so damn turned on by it?

Kane smiled. “I’m completely serious, little neausance, you’re free to roam, though maybe stay close or take one of us with you, these woods can be dense at times.”

“Of course!” I squealed, jumping at Kane who picked me up with ease, my legs wrapping around his hips as I latched on to him and placed a kiss on his mouth in thanks. “I want to look around!”

“Maybe after I shower?” Kane asked, looking down at his muddy self.

“Well, maybe we can explore together… then shower together,” I grinned, grinding down on Kane’s growing erection.

“Fucking minx,” he growled, pressing me closer to him and nipping me on the shoulder, making me perfume like crazy. You would think after such an aggressive heat I wouldn’t still get horny at the drop of the hat, but one grumble or growl from these alphas and I was thinking about presenting and begging for knots.

“No! None of that yet! I want to explore before you defile me.” I giggled, clambering down so my feet were on solid ground. “You told me there was a pond on this property, with ducks! C’mon,please!” I asked, looking up at him pleadingly.

He leaned down and gave me a quick kiss. “Okay, but I‘m getting you clean after we’ve been outside.”

“Deal.”

After an hour of exploring, and at least twenty minutes of that spent cooing over the ducks, Kane, having had enough, swept me up into his arm and carried me over his shoulder back into the house, straight up the stairs and dragged me into the shower.

“Eager, are we?” I had taunted while he fireman carried me up the stairs, lightly smacking his ass as we went.

Any taunts were quickly silenced though when he pulled me into the shower fully dressed, pressing me against the tiles, letting his teeth scrape against my neck in that gesture that made me perfume profusely.

By the time Kane was done with me I was reduced to a puddle of slick, boneless and unable to stand on my own. Kane, pleased with his work, had carried me to his bed, carefully drying every inch of me before laying on the bed, and pulling me to sprawl over him.

ChapterForty-One

Lavender

It was such a lovely day, the sun was bright and the air was warm. The leaves were starting to fall, and I wanted to take advantage of it. After a quick breakfast of cinnamon apple overnight oats that Kane had prepped the day before and left in the fridge for me, I grabbed some dry oats and peas and got dressed. I dressed in one of the pack’s T-shirts, leggings and a light raincoat, just in case, before making my way into the gardens.

Archer was meant to be with me, but he had spent half the night working furiously on his laptop, trying to increase the security on the fences. When I woke up, I found him still dressed, sitting up in bed next to me, slumped over his laptop snoring lightly. He didn’t wake when I moved the laptop, closing it and putting it on my bedside table and gently pushing him over so he was in a slightly less uncomfortable sleeping position.
