“Thank you,” she says. “Now, make Ridge hand me Violet so that I can finally get pictures holding both my babies.”

Ridge quickly complies.

Malice snorts. “And Dread was worried his children being different species would draw attention? Please. Nadia just birthed the first devourer I’ve heard of in a thousand years.”

“We’re aware of that too.” Knight’s jaw is unusually tight.

“She’s just a baby,” Nadia says. “Stop being dramatic.”

“What is a devourer?” I ask, studying our girls cradled in Nadia’s arms.

“They both cleanse the sins and devour the soul without reaping.” Wraith grabs Nadia’s phone, continuously snapping pictures.

Ridge snorts. “Oh yeah, I’d like to see any little fuckers mess with our girls when they’re older.”

My head tilts as I think that through, but eventually, a wide smile breaks out. He’s absolutely right. They’ll be fully capable of slaughtering any little assholes. We won’t even need to lift a finger.

I run my hand over Hazel’s head, and her dark, void-like eyes immediately lock on to me. Her tiny mouth breaks into a grin, and it’s totally clear our babies aren’t like normal newborns.

God help us. I can’t wait to see what the future holds.

Epilogue

Ridge

Nadia squeals somewhere in the distance as my head tilts, scenting the air. We’re in the forest next to my home in North Falls. We’ve made the trip yearly since we met, but this year is extra special, since we left the girls with Nan for an entire week. They’re nearly six now, and Hazel and Violet assured us they were happy to stay with their great grandma.

There’s rustling off to my right. My head tilts as I scan for movement or sound. Nadia curses under her breath as a branch crunches. I laugh, shaking my head. She’s not covert at all, but I’m fairly sure that’s because we all want her to be caught.

“Gotcha,” Knight’s voice rings through the cool night air.

“Oh, screw you. That’s cheating. Back to your starting position,” Nadia grumbles.

My head shakes as I prowl toward her. With Knight and Wraith able to siphon, she gave us all explicit rules for this little witch hunt. We all started in four different directions fifty yards from the house. It technically put Echo farthest from the forest we knew she’d run to, but with his speed, it seemed like a fair compromise.

Nadia’s complaining is muffled. I’m guessing Knight is kissing her. There’s a slap, like a palm hitting a naughty naked ass, as Knight’s chuckle fills the air. “Go on, then, and let me get back to my starting block.”

Nadia huffs. My ears can pick up every nuance and movement, even if I can’t put eyes on her just yet. My cock is already thick and heavy. I quite like the animalistic nature of tracking her through the woods, especially since I know it’ll end with me burying my knot in her tight little hole.

Fine, I can admit I’m still not great at sharing, but I did concede to allow my packmates to participate. It’s a full moon, lighting up the starry sky with its dim glow.

Nadia runs directly in front of me from right to left as I stare up at the canopy of trees. A slow smile breaks across my face. I fucking love that woman.

“Run, little witch,” I taunt, but the sound is very clearly my wolf. My fangs and claws elongate as he fights for the right to be in the driver’s seat. I prowl toward the direction she moved. She’s nearly to the edge of the tree line. Memories of the first time I took her file through my mind. God, how fast life moves and how quickly things change.

Nadia stands frozen. She could make a break back to my house. It’s technically her safe zone, but her head tilts as she smirks at me over her shoulder. Her shadows swarm me as I stomp forward, and the dirty little vixen manages to jerk me off with a tendril of magic as I move.

“Are you coming? It feels like you’re taking forever,” she sasses, winking before taking off for the clearing. My eyes widen as I spot Echo about twenty feet away with a huge quilt or blanket laid out over the grass.

I up my speed, wrapping an arm around her middle when she’s only a few feet from the blanket. She flails, kicking and struggling against my hold. My free hand pulls her hair to the side, and I bite her neck.

“There’s no need to struggle.” I lick her sweaty skin. “We both know I’m going to fuck you full of me, and you’re going to love every second of it.”

“She’ll most definitely end the night filled with all four of us,” Echo muses, approaching slowly. He stops in front of Nadia, pulling her mouth to his.

“Looks like we made it just in time.” Knight chuckles.

Echo steps to the side, and I lower Nadia to the blanket.
