Page 85 of Nita's Redemption

Link grinned and took the space at the bottom. Good male.

A hand rose in the air, middle finger waving. Yeah, they were best friends and brothers. They’d been connected through that bond and now through the bond of their Fated Mate Nita.

Tomorrow they’d deal with what happens. For tonight, he was going to hold his female and revel in the perfection that having her was. He had a sneaking suspicion that shit was going to go south really soon.

Morning came too fast, the rising of the sun hadn’t quite breached the horizon. He stared down at Nita, a slight smile gracing her sleeping features. If they’d been human only one of them would’ve been able to be her husband, but within their world, the three of them were hers just as she was theirs.

“I don’t have the energy to get up,” she whispered without opening her eyes.

Tank chuckled as Abe’s arm snaked around her middle from behind. “That’s alright, love. You don’t need to do a damn thing but lay there. I’ll shower and then one of these assholes can carry you in and take care of you properly.”

She puckered her lips while holding her eyes shut. “I need kisses before you leave this bed. It’s part of our deal in case I hadn’t told you all before. Nobody leaves without kissing me goodbye or sliding in before kissing me hello.”

Chuckling, Tank wrapped his arms around Nita, pulling her body flush with his. “I would never think to leave without giving our female a proper kiss.”

His cock was already semi-hard before her breasts rubbed against his chest, but the moment he felt her softness against his hardness, he almost forgot what he was supposed to be doing. Meet his father the alpha at his home. His dad requested he come alone. Even though it didn’t set well with him, he was going to go since Brock told him it was not pack but family business.

Nita let out a sighing whimper, bringing him back to the here and now. He pulled back, pressing his forehead against hers. “You can make me lose all my brain cells with one touch.”

Smiling, he touched his lips to hers one more time. “I need to hurry, or I’ll be late meeting my father. Whatever this family shit he wants to talk to me about must be important. I’ll leave our link open so you guys can listen in.”

Link lay at the end of the bed and lifted up on one elbow. Tank looked over Nita’s body to stare at Abe, watching him with a frown. Abe inhaled before he eased off the bed, coming to his feet with ease. He stared at the male with a worried frown. He wanted to reassure them all was fine but wouldn’t lie to the three most important people in his life.

Tank ran his thumb over Nita’s bottom lip, hating to leave the warmth of her body. “You three take your time getting ready. I’ll hurry.”

“Do you gotta go?” she asked.

He gave her a quick peck on the lips and then Tank had to turn away from the cute little frown that graced Nita’s face. Shit, she was more intoxicating than the strongest whiskey they’d drunk.

He decided to take a quick shower in the bathroom down the hall, dressing and leaving without going back to the master bedroom. Voices of the other three had carried down to him, with Nita talking about being naked while Abe told her that it was their most natural state. The silverbell like tinkle of his females laughter lightened his mood as he hurried to his father, the alpha’s home.

Like Abe said, Nita and they were going to be seeing one another naked a lot for the rest of their lives. If the Goddess blessed them, that life would be a long fucking time.

“Glad to see you came early. You hungry?” Brock asked, breaking into his thoughts.

Tank took a deep breath. “I don’t want to be rude, but I’d like to get whatever this is over quickly so I can get back to my female.”

Brock let out a sigh. “I figured as much. Come in and sit down. You might not want to eat, but I do before I have to go to the training ground.”

He clenched his hands into fists as he walked up the steps to the porch of the huge home of the alpha. When he’d been growing up, they’d had a nice single wide trailer. It had been upgraded when he took over as alpha and then again when Zeus gave the pack a God sized makeover.

When he entered, the scent of bacon, sausage, and egg bake filled the air. Lorna always made more than enough to feed an army if one happened to show up. More often than not, there would be at least six pack members who showed up. However none were there today.

“Morning, Tank. Are you hungry?” Lorna asked.

He shook his head. “No thank you. It smells delicious though.”

“I’ll pack up some for you to take back with you.” Lorna held up her hand, stalling Tank’s rejection.

“Thank you,” he said, settling into a chair at the table to the left of the kitchen near the huge bay window. He stared outside while Lorna fixed his father a plate, waiting not so patiently for his dad to sit down.

“Alright, you two enjoy your morning. I’m going to shower and get dressed for the day.” Lorna kissed Brock on top his head, rubbed Tank’s shoulder, and then it was just the two of them.

Tank wanted to rush the other male and tell him to spit it out. Only he was his alpha, so he had to show him respect.

“I won’t fuck with you by eating before I tell you what I wanted to see you for. After talking with Zeus late last night, we have decided it would be best for our pack to create a barrier of sorts to hide our territory from humans and the like. This land, our territory covers over eight hundred miles. Humans are always encroaching whether it be hunters or hikers stumbling upon us. It’s getting more and more dangerous. I know that we all want to live normally and that includes going into the human towns and such. We can do that of course. The demi-gods he created have done so without issue for thousands of years. However they’re only twelve men, and now some of whom have found their females as well. We shifters are much more populated around the world, with packs that range from anywhere in the twenties to the hundreds. Our pack is growing, and I want to continue that growth, but I refuse to see our growth come at an expense.” Brock took a deep breath.

“I get that, and I agree. What does this barrier include? Are we locked within our territory unless we have like a golden pass or something?” No way was that going to go over well with any of the pack, surely his dad knew that.
