Chapter 27

Amelia

Almost two weeks had passed before my mates agreed to let me out of their sight for more than a bathroom break. It didn’t help that as soon as they had renewed their mate marks and I had marked them; I went into heat. I still didn’t know if I could have cubs. Today, I had an appointment with Jax to finally find out if a family was something we could look forward to or not. Niko and Miguel had both snuck off while I slept and had been tested. Both were found to be extremely fertile shifters in their prime.

I was sad to find out that Alaska had left while we hibernated in our house. I had wanted to spend a little more time with her before she went, but nothing could stop the mating frenzy once it began. I had heard all the stories, but you didn’t quite understand them until you experienced it yourself. It was amazing and brutal at the same time. Kat and Kymber had kept us fed, each taking turns bringing food and leaving it on the porch for us. My guys wouldn’t let them into the house. Actually, they wouldn’t let anyone into the house.

“Kymber’s here,” I yelled toward the kitchen as I watched her walk up the steps to the screen door that was open for the first time since I had returned. I grabbed my purse and waited for my mates.

Miguel walked in, wiping his hands on a towel, and Niko came from the gym at the back of the house, wiping sweat from his face. Both sexy in their own ways, and I almost let my hormones convince me to stay and rub all over them for a few more days.

“She lives.” Kymber’s laugh shook me out of my daze.

“Don’t be gone too long.” Miguel threw his towel over his shoulder before framing my face with his hands and giving me a toe-curling kiss.

“Hey, now, it’s my turn.” Niko nudged him out of the way. “Do what you need to and come right back to us. We have a few more ideas we want to experiment with.” His hand grabbed the hair at the base of my skull, holding me immobile while he took what he needed from my lips.

“Ohh, yeah, the new toys should be here by the time she gets back.” Miguel’s eyes lit up.

“I’ll be back in a jiff.” The promise of more time between the sheets, tied to the bed, spread over the spanking bench, and even the Saint Andrews cross had my panties soaked already. I watched as their nostrils flared, scenting my arousal. Once I let myself admit to the curiosity I had about the dom/sub lifestyle, we had a long conversation, went over the list, and marked off everything I was willing to try. Niko took charge from there; that was two weeks ago.

“If you don’t leave now, you won’t for another two weeks,” Niko growled.

I flipped my hair as I turned, his hand landing hard on my ass. “Ouch!” I rubbed the sting away.

“Gah, let’s go. The pheromones are about to choke me to death.” Kymber rolled her eyes and held the door open for me.

“Thank you.” I walked through and skipped down the steps. My happiness and joy a fresh and welcome feeling.

“I remember how long it took for Diego and me to surface after our mating.” She smiled wistfully and glanced at me. “You look happy and relaxed.”

“I am. Once I finally stopped worrying about what if and thinking I didn’t deserve them, everything clicked into place. Our bond only got stronger once we completed the mating, and it’s been non-stop since.”

“So, why are you going to Jax?” She tilted her head.

“I need to know for sure if I will be able to have cubs. Niko and Miguel already got checked out, and their swimmers are good to go.”

Kymber gave a loud belly laugh at my words. “’Melia, I am sure you are fine, too.” She twitched her nose and smiled.

“I just want to make sure.” I took a breath. “Thanks for coming with me.”

“Anytime, but why didn’t you let the guys come?”

“I didn’t want to see the looks on their faces if my results come back showing I can’t have cubs.”

“Here we are.” Kymber opened the door for me. “And I don’t think you have anything to worry about.”

She sat in one of the plush waiting room chairs while I checked in.

“Hi, Amelia!” Betty greeted me from behind the desk.

“Betty! I didn’t know you started working here.” I walked around the desk and gave her a big hug. “What about Molly?” I looked around for her.

“She has become the unofficial big sister to the Alpha and Beta’s cubs.” She beamed.

“Really?” I looked over my shoulder at Kymber. “No one told me that.”

“How could I when your mates barely let me leave food on your porch these past two weeks.”
