Elly giggled, and her sister scuttled back to her husband in horror. She turned to Keahi, and he wrapped his arms around her, and she just stood and breathed him in. The other two stood next to them and let her have the moment of comfort she needed. “I think she needs to start eating meat again. That bitch is unbalanced.”

He chuckled and softly stroked their mark on her back. “She is, but you are fire and water, woman and element, beta and delta.”

“What the fuck is a delta?”

“It is like an alpha but with no weird junk.”

“Oh. Okay.”

He chuckled and kept praising her while rubbing her back.

She looked up at him. “You know you are getting laid tonight.”

He chuckled. “There was a one-in-three odds.”

“My sister is going to stab out her eardrums.”

“Why?”

“I am gonna be loud.”

He lifted her and sighed. “I do love you, you know.”

He kissed her and kept it going until she felt a familiar shiver starting. She struggled a little and felt the joy and laughter from the inside out. When she moaned as she came, she blushed. There was a room full of people.

He nuzzled her neck softly before hugging her again. Nothing felt like his arms around her. It was a moment that she wished would last forever, but Nalu cleared his throat.

She sighed and turned to see the entire grouping glaring at her sister while she blubbered and kept stating that it was wrong. Her sister wasn’t an omega and shouldn’t have a mate. It should be husband or nothing.

Elly sighed, grabbed her guys, and hauled them to her sister. “You know, Gwen, I am shocked that you weren’t interested in your favourite band. Emerald Shiver, this is my narrow-minded sister, Gwen, and her husband, Mark.”

Gwen froze, and her eyes bugged out. “What?”

Elly pointed to Key, Lune, and Nom with introductions. “I know they look different undressed and how genuinely gorgeous they are in suits, but the looser clothing here saves a lot of time.”

Gwen stuttered. “They are... and you... and they.”

Keahi held onto Elly and looked at her sister. “And we. We met Eliana when she was sixteen, and we were just starting out. I started walking her home on weekends, but the others thought she couldn’t be as sweet and genuine as she seemed. She was. When we were coming home and she was coming here to help a friend out, we reconnected. And then, we kept doing it until all of us were all tangled up. I, for one, am never going to untangle again.”

Elly smiled. She could literally feel the love.

Her sister was crying as she realized what she was looking at and batting at her husband as he tried to calm her down.

Elly’s mother sighed and looked up at her daughter’s partners. “So, since you seem to have an interest in my daughter, do you have an interest in a family? Children?”

The enthusiasm that swamped Elly nearly knocked her over. Keahi held her against him. She ducked her head, and her mother grinned. The guys explained that they were interested in seeing that Elly got settled in first. “We are all going to update our degrees and resume our positions here on the island. We make a good living and have plenty of family who will help us turn into a solid unit. We have considerable savings and can always turn to the courier trade for a few months. There are options, but Elly will be encouraged to find inspiration for her writing here, among friends, with a spectacular view and the entire ocean at her disposal when she wants to swim.”

Her mother muttered, “Some of the other tourists were mumbling about a woman riding a shark. Is it safe here?”

Mano nodded. “She is perfectly safe.”

Her mother focused. “Who is?”

He grinned. “The woman on the shark.”

Elly blushed, and her mother’s jaw dropped. “Oh. Oh. So, you were the woman, and...”

Mano grinned. “I am the shark. The most benevolent of the beasts that make up her shiver.”
