“Do you not like them?” Mr. Potter looked confused.

“No! They are beautiful, I’m just thinking these were Zev’s mothers and I don’t know…” I don’t know why, but I felt like this might be a ploy to get Zev and I closer together.

“He is the one who gave them to me,” he said confused, but then it dawned on him.

“Oh… well, in that case...” I turned around for him to put them on.

He put both necklaces on my neck and instantly I felt their power. I tensed for a moment, I thought something bad was going to happen, but instead it felt like a mothers embrace.

“These necklaces have been in their family for years. Passed down to each Luna of the family. They are powered a little with each woman that wears them.” He clasped the last necklace.

The power didn’t feel heavy or stifling, it felt familiar and comforting. Taking a deep breath, I felt it. A long line of powerful women, it gave me a sense of belonging and for once I felt powerful too.

“Let me fix my makeup, and I’ll be ready,” I said, giving him a small smile, embarrassed that I once again wanted to cry.

“It’s the hormones, if it makes you feel better,” he said, smiling at me.

I laughed; thankful he was giving me the leeway I needed to feel better. I quickly checked my makeup before we headed down. The dress I wore made it a little difficult to go down the steps for fear of tripping on it, but I managed—slowly. I expected to go to the library, but he took me to what they called the pack room. He opened the door, revealing a completely different room. It was breathtaking and I couldn’t believe the transformation.

In the middle, a huge chandelier hung completely lit. It was more ornate than I’d imagine this room to have, but it gave the room a romantic feeling. A large table stood off to the side next to an enormous fireplace that I never realized was there. The fire was blazing, giving the scene an even more romantic glow. The table was beautifully decorated with gorgeous flowers, looking like something for a Beltane celebration.

That’s when they caught my eye. They looked like my men, but they were dressed all in black modern clothing that made them look dark and dangerous. I forgot all my words. My blood went straight to my pussy. Lucien was in a black button downwith a vest and slacks. His sleeves were rolled up, showing off his gorgeous forearms— I didn’t even know forearms could be sexy—and his top button was left open. His hair looked a little shorter, but that smirk he had on made me think he knew how much I loved how he looked. Truly.

Aeon was in a black suit and a black button-down with a black tie. His hair was also shorter and styled differently, but his gaze told me everything I needed to know. He was just as hungry for me as I was for him. Then there was Zev. I couldn’t even form a sentence with how different and utterly delectable he looked. He had on a black v-neck tucked into slacks with a belt. His hair was pulled back into a bun with a stray strand coming undone. His yellow eyes seemed even more prominent against his all-black clothing.

“Guys, you look amazing.”

“Gorgeous.”

“Stunning.”

“Beautiful.”

We all spoke at the same time, and I couldn’t help but laugh with nervous energy, realizing Mr. Potter had already left. This felt like a date, even though we had had plenty of dinners together.

“You’re a vision.” Lucien walked up to me, kissed my cheek then rubbed his nose along mine.

“You look so good, Lucien,” I said, running my hands down his chest. He didn’t look like the young naïve man any more, he looked so sexy that I wanted to eat him up.

“I kind of like it, it’s definitely going to take me a moment to get used to, but I feel good in it, especially since you are giving me ‘fuck me’ eyes.” He looked me up and down. “Fuck dinner, I want to rip this dress off?—”

“Ok, move on, you had your turn,” Aeon interrupted him, looking like he was going to push him away, but he pulled him by the vest closer till they kissed.

I groaned, feeling like they were teasing me. They both looked at me with amused expressions knowing exactly what they were doing to me. Aeon then pushed Lucien away from us, cupping my face and kissing my lips softly.

“Kitten, you look stunning. I almost feel like I’m not worthy to be in your presence. You look absolutely gorgeous in that dress.” His voice was dark with lust. “Can I eat you for dinner?”

He kissed me before I had a chance to respond to him. It was softer than the kiss he had given Lucien, but it grew hungry in a matter of seconds. He sucked on my top lip before he pulled away, a little breathless.

“I…” I didn’t know what to say because Aeon in a suit was lethal. “I think you should never wear this out in public. I might have to fight women off of you three.”

“I think I’d like to see that, Kitten,” Aeon chuckled, his eyes sparkling with mischief.

Zev cleared his throat behind Aeon, sounding pretty close. Aeon rolled his eyes making me smile before he pecked my lips and walked away.

I looked at Zev and I didn’t know if it was all the heat in the air, but I was ready to explode. He walked up to me with a swagger I never realized Zev had. Was it the outfit that gave him the confidence?

“You look like my dream come true, Katarina.” His dark voice sounded delicious. “You’re perfect. More perfect than I could have dreamed of or ever wanted.”
