“Fuck, Josie,” he grunts as he chases his release until we detonate together. We breathe heavily as we both float back down from our high. “Good girl,” he praises and places a gentle kiss over the spot where he’d bitten me. Then he lifts me and moves across the room to lay me on the bed. “Stay here,” he says before going to the bathroom. I hear the water turn on and then moments later he returns with two washcloths. He places one over my bite mark and the warmth soothes the tender skin instantly. He pushes my legs open and begins using the other to clean between my legs. 

“It’s fine, I can shower,” I try to stop him, feeling a little uncomfortable at his caring for me. 

“No, you won’t, you’ll let me clean you and then you’ll sleep,” he grumbles. “Theo,” he calls over his shoulder. Theo appears in the doorway seconds later, he must have been waiting outside, I wonder if he was watching us. Make sure she doesn’t leave this bed, she needs to sleep. I’m going to check the cameras,” 

Η 

“Okay,” Theo says nervously and Mason tosses the washcloth at him and moves to walk out before he stops and looks back. 

“Oh, and Theo, next time either come in and participate or fuck off back to your room,” he says before leaving and 

closing the door behind him. Theo gapes at him and then looks back at me with wide eys before leaving and 

you okay?” he mouths. I nod and smile to reassure him that I am fine. I want to tell him more, that it was amazing and that I think I broke down Mason’s walls again but I’m sure he will be listening to us. I sit up in the bed and peel the cloth from my neck, trying to look at the bruise I know is there. 

“Shit, babe,” Theo whispers and comes to examine the bruise. “Does it hurt,” 

“Yes, but it’s fine, it’s a good pain,” I smile. “Can you explain these alpha marks to me?” I ask, still not fully sure what I did. 

“Sure, let’s get into bed and I’ll tell you all about it,” he nods. He pulls back the covers and climbs into the bed, he is wearing his own shorts now and he keeps them on but he pulls off his t–shirt and tosses it across the room. He holds his arms out for me and I crawl up the bed to him. He wraps an arm around me and I rest my head on his shoulder. If he notices I’m still wearing Deacon’s jacket he doesn’t say anything as he begins to explain the mark of the alpha. I learn that only the most powerful and dominant of wolves can mark their mate, or mates. The dominant wolf will only mark wolves they deem worthy and it’s a clear show of intention to breed with that wolf. 

“So basically my wolf just declared to the realm that she intends to have your pups?” I huff. 

“Pretty much,” he laughs. 

“Sorry,” I cringe and bury my face into his chest. What if they don’t even want kids? We haven’t even had time for that kind of conversation. 

“You have nothing to apologise for, I’m honoured that she deems me worthy,” he strokes my hair. 

“As am 1,” Axel’s voice comes from the door as he opens it. He is wearing just a pair of shorts and I can’t help but admire him. “Room for another?” he nods towards the space on my other side and I nod eagerly. Luke arrives moments later and pouts when he sees both spaces at my sides taken. 

“We are going to have to make a sleeping schedule,” he frowns and lays across the bottom of the bed. 

“Or maybe we could have her spread out like a starfish and we all get to cuddle a limb each?” Theo laughs. 

Luke snakes a hand under the covers and wraps his fingers around my ankle, providing me the extra contact I 

crave. 

“Who is taking care of the first heat wave?” Luke yawns.
