“Too late,” Handsome says sadly.

“Give me clean clothes and leave the room,” I grit out.

“Sugar, can we stay in the bedroom at least? We want to be close in case you need us,” Logan says quietly. “Your body is going through a lot.”

“You can stay.” I point at him and then move my finger to his brothers. “You two, go in the bedroom.”

“Hey, what did I do?” Lucas pouts.

“You warned him.” I glare.

“Not soon enough,” Las mumbles.

“I heard that,” I snap. “Out.”

Amazingly, they don’t put up a fight.

I rush to the shower once the door closes behind them. I pay no attention to the water temperature as I turn the dials and pace back to the sink. Logan calmly adjusts it so I don’t scald myself.

“They will get you a change of clothes,” Handsome informs me.

“Why are my emotions so extreme?” I ask.

“Your body is trying to adjust to your new powers,” he explains patiently. I fumble with the buttons on my shirt before he takes pity and gently pushes my hands away. “It’s going to take some time to even out.”

“I still want to fuck all of you. Why am I still having those thoughts when your parents are here?” I ask in a panic.

“Shifters have a high sex drive. We thrive on affection, especially from our mate.”

“Are you telling me that I’ll want you even more? It was bad before, I don’t want any of you to leave the house with the way I’m feeling now,” I snarl.

“Sugar, if you are worried that we will complain, you are so wrong.” He drops the shirt.

“Why do you have to be so sexy?” I ask before stepping into the shower.

He grins. “We could say the same.”

“Who else came?” I roughly scrub my body, turning away from him.

“Elijah and Saylor were the first to arrive. Bash and Marie showed up next, and then Kerian, Ava, and River. Ava felt like she could be someone you could talk to when you woke if you were scared since she was a turned shifter. The Panthers were curious and wanted to offer support to me and my brothers. Harmony has some experience with having three mates—she was the first. The dragons are here too. Quinn also came by yesterday but hasn’t been back.”

I’m glad that he can’t see my face as the tears start. All of their friends came to show their support and love. How is it possible to find such an amazing group of friends?

I rinse my hair quickly and jump out. Logan hands me a towel.

“My clothes?” I’m surprised to see a pile of my stuff beside him.

“Lucas brought them in.”

I was too in my head to realize. “I should apologize,” I sigh.

“Why?”

“I wasn’t nice to them,” I whisper, grabbing my underwear.

“Sugar, there is no need. You marked all of us and committed the rest of your life with us. We are the happiest guys in the world. They understand. You are going through a big change.” He picks up my bra.

“Are you sure?” I snatch it out of his hand, quickly putting it on.
