“Ok, boys. Think it's time for us all to move on. Finish him.”

The scorpions click and clack their agreement and Jax throws Stanley high in the air. KC roars and on Stanley's way towards the ground he catches him by the throat. With a small squeeze of his pincer, he severs Stanley’s head from his body.

His head rolls towards me while his body falls to the ground. I look down at it.Hell, why not.“Catch!” I yell as I bend down, grab his hair and throw his head up over Neo’s head.

They all screech and the game is back on, but with just his head this time. I smile and laugh at them for a few minutes before I turn and make my way inside.

The weight that has been on my shoulders since my parents death is gone. I’ve avenged not only them, but my entire race.

“You ok?”KC asks.

Am I?“Surprisingly, yes. Gonna shower. Enjoy your game.”

It quiets in my head again, so I make my way to Beck’s room. I pull out a cute little lingerie set I hid in my bag. I’ve never had a reason to wear it, but now I have six.

I sigh when I see his shower. It's not as nice as mine, but that’s to be expected. Noone’s shower is as nice as mine. As I wait for the water to reach the perfect hell water temp, I place the lingerie on the vanity, and strip. Testing the water with my hand, I’m relieved that at least their hot water heater is up to par. I step in and stand under the hot spray as every muscle in my body slowly relaxes.

I close my eyes and lean my head back letting the water run over my face.I got him Mum and Dad. He can't hurt anyoneever again. Thank you for raising me and loving me. Please tell my birth parents too.

Once the water starts to go cold, I turn it off and shake off my melancholy. Today was a good day. I got the answers I didn’t know I needed, I completed my mate bond with allsixof my mates, and now it’s time to properly celebrate.

I dry off and towel dry my purple hair. Then brush it out removing any tangles. Next, I reach in my bag for my oil that has always made my skin silky and smooth and apply it to my arms and legs. Then I slip on the little black lace number. I hope the guys like it.

Looking in the mirror, I’m as ready as I'm gonna be. I take a deep breath and head out to find my mates. Which with this bond, is actually really easy. They’re sitting around in just their jeans, drinking beers. As I walk in, all heads turn towards me.

“Holy shit,” Neo gasps, dropping his beer and spilling it all over the floor.

“You look…fuuuck,” Jax moans, slowly shaking his head.

“Beautiful,” Cree supplies.

“Breathtaking,”DJ adds.

“Perfect,” King and Beck say as one.

“Man, y’all are good for a girl’s ego,” I smirk.

“Not every girl’s. Just our perfect mate’s,” Cree counters.

Swoon.

“Well, yourperfect matethinks it’s time to celebrate. How do you think we should do that?” I arch a brow.

“Oh, I have many thoughts on the matter,” Cree smirks as he stands and advances me.

The others follow his lead and I turn around and run down the hallway.

They say never to run from a predator. It jump starts their hunt instincts and you will be their prey.

That’s exactly what I want.

Their growls rent the air and the thud of their pounding steps chases me through the house.

I started this little chase, yet somehow I feel likethey’releadingme.

I turn a corner, and my instincts are validated when Neo rounds the corner coming right at me. I turn into the nearest room and stop in front of a large bed.

One by one they enter the room and circle me, making me feel trapped.
