My father nods. “Ash completed his trial well, and then decided to complete Jonas’ as well,” my father says, disappointment clear in his voice.

“In his defense, the videos were wired for sound in Jonas’ house,” the Dragon reveals. “Ash came in, and Josiah asked him if he was coming to kill him for his part in his wife’s death. I was floored. We never found out who killed her, and we did look, because he was a Society member, and she was beloved by The Society.”

“Ash and Jonas told me about how their trials went, and Ash said he couldn’t allow Jonas to kill his own father. I understand it was wrong, but I don’t believe it should keep them from becoming Locked Souls Society members—” I begin to argue.

The Elders chuckle, and I look around the room in confusion.

“We aren’t going to let this keep them from their initiation, Levi,” my father murmurs, his lips twitching in amusement. “Plus, we found out we have a traitor in our midst. We do not condone the skin trade, as you know, and I’m angry that our resources have been used in this way.”

“Agreed,” I sigh, rubbing the back of my neck. “So, what is going to happen to Ash and Jonas?”

“They both owe us a boon. They will have to perform a job for us at some point in the future, without question,” Dragon intones.

Fuck. It could literally be anything, and Jonas already owes The Society because of his sister.

“I understand,” I murmur. “Am I allowed to tell them what a boon to the Society means?”

“No,” the Panther barks. “They will soon find out what it means when you do not do what is expected of you. Now it is time to prepare them for their induction. There are people complaining that your Adams will have a private initiation…”

My eyes fly to the Eagle and the Dragon. We’ve never had an Eve before that’s related to two Elders: one by marriage, and the other by blood. Neither will want to see Chastity have sex for the first time with Jonas, Ash, and Bastian.

I also, as her husband, am uncomfortable with anyone outside of the guys seeing her in such an uninhibited state. Chas and the guys have been moving forward in their relationship, and she’s more confident that she will be able to complete the induction ceremony without taking any drugs.

“We have never had an Eve that’s related to Elders,” Dragon growls. “I do not want to see my sister in that positionever. They can watch the three Eves that we have for the other Adams who have completed their trails. Chastity will not be one of them.”

The Panther nods quickly, stepping away. Gross fucking priest, wanting to get his rocks off watching my wife. Not in this life, or any other, will I ever allow my Little Sinner to be unprotected.

The meeting ends soon after, and I leave to find Chastity. I need to go over everything that will be happening in the ceremony. There are things I haven’t done with her that may happen with the three of them being involved, and I want to be sure she doesn’t have any hard limits.

She should be home in our apartment, so that’s where I go first, using the tunnels because I don’t want to run into anyone tonight.

Stepping out of the hidden garden door, I continue on to my apartment.

“Chastity!” I call out as I enter our home.

“I’m in the kitchen,” she says, and I sigh happily.

While I can cook, Chastity is so much better at it than I am. It’s a treat I’ll never get used to. Stalking the amazing smells coming from the kitchen, I sigh happily as I see her close the oven door.

“Dinner is almost ready.” She grins, turning and rushing into my waiting arms.

“Did you miss me, Baby Girl?” I chuckle, kissing her hard, because I know I did.

“Mmm, you always smell so good,” Chas says dreamily. “I did miss you. Dinner is happening soon, if you want to change?”

I’ve noticed that she studiously will not ask me how a meeting went, if she knows I was with the Elders or doing something for The Society. While I appreciate it, I’m not in the business of keeping secrets from my wife, if I don’t need to.

“Give me a couple of minutes to change, and then I have some things to chat with you about,” I tell her with a smile.

“Dinner still has some time before it’s ready,” Chastity says. “I have some homemade garlic bread, if you’re hungry though.”

My stomach growls and I chuckle. “It appears I am starving. I’ll be back in a second.”

Walking quickly, I strip as soon as I get to our bedroom. My clothes go into the laundry basket to be washed, and I throw on a pair of basketball shorts, forgoing a shirt. I don’t really mind if my wife drools over me.

At the last second, I bite my lip, grabbing a lubricant packet and shoving it into my pocket. This may be useful for what I need to talk to Chastity about.

Returning to the kitchen, I find her cutting up fresh garlic bread.
