“We know, baby.” Lucien turned my face towards him. “There's no need to keep secrets. We are a pack, and we are finally free.”

“Free,” I whispered, as it finally set in. “No more curse.”

“It’s the beginning of our new life,” Zev said, moving closer to us.

I looked at each of them, feeling like a lovesick teenager, so stupidly happy and in love. I blushed from their intense gazes, when I remembered I had something important to tell them. It was at the tip of my tongue as my stomach growled, and they all gave me odd looks. My expression fell when I realized Mr. Potter was no longer with us. I hoped he had found his mate and was enjoying his afterlife with her.

“Come on, let's get you something to eat.” Lucien helped me out of the bed with a somber expression too. When I looked around Aeon and Zev shared the same look.

Someone changed me because I was only wearing a big shirt. I pursed my lips together trying not to cry for a man that was more of a father to me than my own. Lucien hugged me, igniting another group hug as we all mourned for a man who could never be replaced.

“I think I should cook. I don’t want to get food poisoning,” I said, teasing them. I wiped the tears that escaped, moving away from them before I began to cry again.

“I make a mean toast,” Aeon smirked, making me laugh.

“I know how to cook,” Zev said, making me quickly whip around to look at him.

“Excuse me?” He shocked me.

Lucien laughed. “Oh god, are you going to pull out all the stops to make her swoon for you?”

“I don’t need to,” Zev replied, with a serious expression. “She already does.”

He kissed me before walking out of the room with that confident swagger he had always had. I laughed, following him down the steps, wondering what other shit I didn’t know about Zev, and how I had endless time to figure it out.

It wasdinner time when we all made our way downstairs. Zev was just going to make breakfast when we walked into the kitchen and saw ingredients for spaghetti left out for us with instructions and everything.

I had to leave the kitchen because I was too overwhelmed with emotions. Damn, I really didn’t think I would miss him so much, but Mr. Potter had wormed his way into my heart. My men were just as quiet during dinner. As much as we wanted the spell to be broken, Mr. Potter was the unfortunate casualty.

Once we had all finished, I stood up to start picking up when they all got up, telling me to sit down. I received a train of kisses on my forehead and one very grumpy alpha telling me if I moved, he would tan my ass. I was on the verge of moving, but decided that maybe right now wasn’t the best time to get spanked.

I had had this nervous energy ever since I had woken up, it's almost like I was restless and I had an urge to do something Icouldn’t remember. I felt my magic and theirs, but I had no idea what to do. I called on my fire easily, but I know what power it is so it's easy to call on it. I had never tried Zev’s and I had no idea how to or what to do. I mean, do I just think of something naturey like a flower?

A flower grew out of my fingertips, and I quickly dropped it, freaked out how quickly that had happened. I grew a peony, and it was just as quick. My heart started to race quickly at the endless possibilities I had at my fingertips, but then I felt something shift in me. A small breeze shifted the curtains making me turn around to look at them knocking over a glass of water in the process. I failed to catch it as the glass of water fell to the floor, but only the glass landed.

I got up from the chair so quickly I knocked it back making a loud noise. My eyes opened and closed a few times, but the water was nebulously hovering over the ground.

“Baby, are you ok?”

Lucien walked into the dining room and the water fell, splashing to the ground. I couldn’t take my eyes away from the water wondering how the hell or what I did for that to happen.

“Katarina?”

“I… I thought I just did something with the water. I got freaked out, but I’m pretty sure it was nothing.” I looked at the water again, but I must have been really tired. “I think I’m really tired.”

“Are you sure?” He stepped up to me. “I can feel your magic.”

“You can?” I looked up at him.

“I feel the connection of magic between us all but it’s like a double connection coming from you,” he said, tucking a hair behind my ear. “Don’t stress about it, we have plenty of time to figure it out.”

“You’re right,” I said, leaning my head on his chest. “I’m just eager to finally figure out what it was.”

“Go to bed, we’ll be up in a moment.” He spanked my ass as I walked away and just for that I swayed my hips sensually, lifting my shirt slightly up so he could catch a peek of my ass.

He groaned, giving me the satisfaction I wanted.

“Hey! Get that ass in here!” Aeon yelled, making me giggle.
