I’m not going to break guys; I just want to shower the blood off and put on clothes.This mind connection was going to come in handy.

Zane- How about we get you your clothes, baby, and you can take a shower in my room.

Ah fuck, I took a quick peak into the room and swore. The dead bodies; Blair, blood. Sigh. He made a good point. I walked right back around and headed into Zane’s room to shower instead.

Fucking shit. I wanted to kill them all over again. I turned on the shower and stripped before getting in and leaning against the wall. My room was reduced to a mess of feathers, blood and memory foam.

Ryder walked into the bathroom, whistling a happy tune. “Fuck off Ryder.”

“Well, I didn’t but it looked like Blair fucked off all over your bed and left you a little note too.” He laughed and I shrieked.

“There was fucking psychopathic cum all over my bed?! He came up here, jerked off all over my fucking bed, then tried to drug me, then said I was his. What type of sick shit is this?” I groaned as I angrily soaped my body, with Ryder still in the bathroom, now leaning against the sink staring at me while I showered. It was comforting how he just wanted to watch me and make sure I was good, but I wanted to fucking stab someone.

Zane stomped into the bathroom with the cum note in his hand. Fucking gross.

“Hudson, when I came up and smelled your scent, I had no choice but to touch myself. I may have gotten a little excited. I can’t wait until I sink inside of you and create a new generation of Fae. I can’t wait for the moment I take that sweet cunt over and over until you bleed. Your Fae Prince,” Zane finished the letter with his eyebrows raised.

“Fae prince, what the fuck is this now? I need a fucking drink.” Hunter threw his hand out and punched a hole in Zane’s bathroom. I didn't even hear him come in.

“Okay, Blair didn't plan on being here for the attack, so clearly he just got excited and tried to take me out before he really thought it through, got caught in the crossfire and died. One problem solved, I guess. Megan working with the Queen was not expected. She put on a good show, so I couldn’t get a read on it. Ugh. This is a cluster fuck.” I groaned. Stepping out of the shower, Ryder wrapped me in a towel, and I gave him a quick kiss.

“Okay so, the kidnapping scheme... looks like we were right,” said Ryder. He started stripping and got in the shower after me. I looked at him, and grinned. Kalen said the bond was stronger than marriage or soulmates. I wonder if it meant it intertwined our hearts together even more than before?

“If they came as a team, it is fair to expect that someone with malintent came with them, or at the very least, they led them straight toward you too,” Grayson tossed in.

“What the fuck are we missing? Kalen even said he warded the house more.”

“So, someone with knowledge of his wards, or old enough to know which ones he may have used, or…” Ryder trailed off, his eyes wide.

Hunter stood up, wiping blood from his face. “Or someone who knows him and understands him,” Hunter growled and screamed. “Someone we thought we knew was going to try and drug our girl,and then we get attacked, the house is wrecked- and all signs point to Alvor being a sneaky fuck. I know you are all thinking it.” He angrily stripped and got in the shower with Ryder.

“I swear Ryder you better not touch me with your fucking dick, I’m not in the mood,” Hunter grumbled, and I busted out laughing. I laughed, and I laughed, and I laughed until I was on the floor of the bathroom rocking back and forth. They stood there, letting me feel without interrupting. It was perfect; I was alone in my head but not in my heart, and not physically. They knew what I needed and right now that meant the world to me. Right now, despite a long couple of days filled with mating bonds, betrayal, kidnappings, dance competitions, Tinker Bell fights, and the murdered jerker, I had my mates.I’ll never get tired of saying that.

I felt arms pick me up and cradle me and take me into, I guess, whatever room was left that didn't have cum or blood on it and curl around me. I breathed in Zane and burrowed into his arms, my face in his chest. I felt the bed dip and the guys all touch me and soothe me in ways that my soul just felt relieved. Zane pulled me close and grabbed my chin to look at him before he brought his lips down and kissed me. I moaned softly as he caressed my mouth with his tongue.

He looked down at me and ran his hands through my soaked hair, “Baby, you know if you need to talk, just let it out. You don’t have to hide how you feel with us,” he whispered. I wasn’t ready to talk yet. I just wanted to kill everyone, bad; save the world and skip happily away with my mates. I drifted off to sleep with deep murmurs around me. I felt safe.

Iwoke up to the sounds of grown ass juvenile men yelling and I groaned.Fuck, I am not a morning person but I don’t wake up and start screaming like a crazy bitch.One of the guys had dressed me in a pair of my leggings and one of their shirts, and despite the yelling I smiled. I felt such an overwhelming feeling of love, lust, and comfort it was staggering. I grabbed a pair of Zane’s socks and made my way downstairs to find there was no more glass, bodies or blood. The mattresses had been tossed out and despite the fuckery and the lack of glass on the windows or doors, it all looked pretty normal.

“What the fuck is going on down here? Jesus don’t you guys know how to let a bitchy queen sleep?”

Grayson- Uh sweetie, we have company. Keep the Queen talks to a minimum. We have some slightly interesting developments.

Hunter- Slight? More like I’m going to fucking kill someone else today.

Ryder- People let me tell you about my best friends.

Zane/Remi- Ugh, stop with the singing Ryder.

Hudson- Guys? I really fucking love you. That is all.

I walked into the kitchen and was surprised to see Jensi, Luca, Kalen, and fucking Squishy? Remi was sitting in a corner, looking like someone tried to kidnap her and take her back to a different world… Oh wait, that was me. I walked in and jumped on the kitchen island.

“This is such a nice team meeting, what did I miss? All the screaming sounded very, very productive. Actually, I’m sure you guys were able to make some pretty big decisions.” They all looked away. “Ah, okay, maybe plans?” They all stayed quiet. “Oh, so the yelling had absolutely no effect whatsoever. Cool. Well now that that is out of the way, anyone want to tell me what is going on?” They all started talking at once and I pinched the bridge of my nose and lifted my hand and did a little ‘zip-it’ motions, and they all stopped talking. I looked up carefully and realized that, holy shit, I totally fucking made them shut up. There was magic and then there wasmagic. I liked this version better. It made men shut up.

“Kalen, since you tend to be more level-headed, usually, you may go.” I waved my hand and he glared at me, “I’ll also need my royal scepter.” I sniggered and the guys shook their head at me.

“Hudson, don’t start. Let’s not cut corners here. You remember how I said you were pretty much the daughter of my heart?” I nodded and beamed at him. “Okay remember that just for a moment.” I frowned just as fast. “Okay, so when I knew you were coming to DeLorean, I wanted to make sure that you had some protection in place in case I wasn't here. You’re a beautiful girl with a hot temper.” I looked at him and glared at Zane when he choked back a laugh, “okay, a volatile temper at the best of times.”
