Behind us, Torin lets out a loud whoop, breaking the moment. “Finally!” he shouts, his voice dripping with glee. “Took you long enough, Alpha!”

Kael pulls back slightly, his forehead resting against mine as he mutters under his breath, “Of course, Torin couldn’t keep quiet.”

I laugh softly, my cheeks flushed, and glance over at Torin, who’s grinning like a maniac. “Thanks for the commentary, Reaper,” I call out, and Torin winks.

“Anytime, kitten.”

Kael’s fingers tighten slightly on my neck, drawing my attention back to him. “Ignore him,” he says, his voice low and possessive. “This moment’s ours.”

I nod, my heart pounding, and he leans in again, his lips brushing against mine in a kiss that’s softer this time but no less intense. This isn’t just a kiss—it’s a promise, a declaration of something that runs far deeper than words.

Kael pulls back, his thumb brushing over my cheek as he looks at me with an intensity that sends shivers down my spine. There’s something unspoken in his eyes, something that doesn’t need words. He steps back, his hand lingering on mine for just a moment before he releases me.

I glance around the room, my gaze landing on each of them in turn. Torin is still grinning like the devil, lounging against the edge of Kael's bed now, his tattoos catching the soft light. Finn watches me carefully. And Kael...Kael stands tall and resolute, but there’s a rare softness in his expression, one that makes my chest ache.

The air between us feels charged, heavy with an unspoken understanding. These three men—these brothers—have changed everything for me. I feel their presence through the bonds, each one unique, each one pulling at a different piece of me. I realize how much I want this. All of it. Them.

Torin breaks the silence with a low chuckle, his voice carrying a teasing edge. “So, kitten, now that the Alpha’s finally caught up, what’s next? A toast? A celebration? Or...” His grin turns wicked. “Something a little more hands-on?”

I roll my eyes, but my lips twitch into a smile despite myself. “You’re incorrigible, Torin.”

“And you love it,” he shoots back, his eyes gleaming.

Finn clears his throat, his expression carefully neutral but his voice carrying a subtle heat. “It’s been a long night. Perhaps we should...unwind. Together.”

The suggestion hangs in the air, heavy with implication. My breath catches as I look between them, their gazes locked on me, waiting. The bond between us hums softly, a thread connecting all of us, pulling tighter with every passing second.

Kael’s voice is the one to cut through the silence, low and steady. “If this is what you want, Sable, we’ll follow your lead. But the choice is yours.”

My heart pounds as I take a step back, the weight of their attention making my skin tingle. “All of you…” I murmur, my voice barely above a whisper. “You’ve each given me something I didn’t even know I needed. Torin, your chaos and passion. Finn, your quiet strength and insight. And Kael…” I meethis gaze, my lips curving into a small smile. “Your unwavering protection.”

They’re watching me, waiting for my next move. I take a deep breath, letting the bond between us guide me. “I want this. I want all of you. Together.”

Torin’s grin widens, and he’s the first to move, stepping closer and brushing his fingers against my cheek. “Kitten, you have no idea how much I’ve wanted to hear that.”

Finn is next, his touch more hesitant but no less meaningful as he reaches for my hand. “Then let us show you what that means.”

Kael doesn’t speak, but his eyes say everything. He steps forward, his hand resting on my lower back as he leans in, his lips brushing against my temple. “We’ll take care of you,” he murmurs, his voice rough with emotion. “Always.”

The tension in the room shifts, turning from something heavy and unspoken to a spark ready to ignite. I feel the pull of the bond, the connection between all of us growing stronger, more certain. And as they close in around me, their warmth, their strength, their unwavering presence, I know I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.

This is home.

Sixty-Two

SABLE

It’s the scent of fresh sheets that brings me back.

And a whole lot of muscles.

I blink away the haze of sleep, my breath catching in my throat as I’m reminded of the events of last night. After we made our decision, the three of them carried me to Kael’s bed and tucked me in, telling me to rest while they attended to some business.

They hadn’t returned by the time I fell asleep, my body worn from the constant fighting and the newness of... all of it. My heart skips a beat, as if to remind me that this is real. Not a dream. My warlocks are right there, still wrapped around me. And they’re awake.

The weight of their gazes settles upon me like a physical caress, each one a promise of pleasure yet to come. I can see the hunger in their eyes, the desire to claim every inch of me, to make me theirs in the most primal way possible.
