My mates.
Mine in a way that nothing else ever has been before.
This is what I want for the rest of my life.
I feel the wind die down and the house stops shaking as I reel back in my magic like Derek taught me. Only then do I break the kiss.
“Thank you,” I murmur against his lips.
His lips turn up at the corners. “I’m happy to kiss you anytime, Belle.”
Stepping back, I find all four men staring back at me. “We need to figure out what’s going on with my magic.”
“Jack and I actually had a thought on that,” Cypian says with a grin. “We were going to wait until after we finished decorating, but something tells me this is more important.”
“I still want to decorate the house, but I’d definitely prefer to have this dealt with before it becomes a problem again.”
Jack takes my hand, pulling me to follow him. “We’re going to head to the basement. I have things set up down there.”
“Things set up? What kind of things?” I ask, worry threading through my voice.
“Don’t worry, Precious,” Cypian murmurs as his hand lands on my lower back. “This won’t hurt you in any way. We just need to get this figured out for you.”
I glance back at him, a tight smile on my lips as I nod. “I trust the four of you.”
My eyes widen when we reach the basement, finding books open on every available surface and what looks like a chemistry kit set up on a worktable.
“What is all of this?”
Jack spins and gives me a dazzling smile. “This is what I’ve been working on since I realized you weren’t magicless. I’ve been working out different ways that we can try to see what’s going on with your magic, and then how to fix it once we know what’s going on.”
Tears fill my eyes as I stare back at him. Besides my witches, no one has ever been so thoughtful before. I throw myself into his arms.
“Thank you, Jack. I love you. I know it’s too fast, but I—“
I’m cut off by Jack’s lips brushing against mine. It’s just the barest touch before he’s pulling back.
“I love you too, Belle. And it’s never too early. When you know, you know.” Jack cups my face in his hands, swiping away my tears .
“Also, there’s the fact that we’re fated mates,” I say, a bit of sass in my words. I laugh when Jack’s eyes go wide.
“We... uhh... I... Fuck.”
I laugh, leaning up on my toes so I can kiss him again. “It’s okay. Nick told me, and I’m glad he did. Suddenly everything I was feeling made sense. I’m not even mad that the four of you kept it from me. I definitely would’ve freaked out if you told me that right away.”
That sends all five of us into peels of laughter. Once we’ve calmed down, I turn back to face the other three men that I’m head over heels in love with.
“I love the three of you as well. I definitely didn’t expect to find my fated mates in my first go at dating, but I can’t say I mind it.”
Before I’ve even finished speaking, the three of them are rushing to me. They pass me back and forth, smothering me in kisses and their own I love yous. It’s absolutely perfect. I don’t think any of the holiday movies could’ve done it better than this. Now, let’s just hope that we can figure out what the heck is going on with my magic.
“Okay, I know we’re all very happy about Belle’s announcement, but we really need to figure out what’s going on with her magic,” Jack says, echoing my thoughts. And he’s not even the mind reader.
I snort as I turn my attention to Nick. He winks, a smile gracing his lips, and I wonder if he passed along the message to Jack. He can do that, right?
Jack pulls me from Derek’s hold, laughing when my tinker pixie lets out a growl. “There will be more time for cuddling later. Right now, we have more pressing matters.”
Jack leads me over to a stool before helping me to sit on it. He grabs a book from the closest table, his finger running over the text before he nods.
