“You feel so fucking good, baby.”

I was spread wide under him, and he pinned me down with his chest, kissing my neck, my jaw, rubbing his against me, marking me, surrounding me with all that was Jagger.

He started moving then, claiming me deeply, in a way that was earth-shattering.I could only take it, pinned as I was, one slow, deep, soul-shaking thrust at a time.I clung to him, my claws grazing his back as I trembled from the power of the orgasm building in steadily increasing waves inside me.

Jagger felt it, too, and he groaned.“You gonna come for me already?”

“It feels too good.”

“Yeah, it fucking does.You’re gonna take me with you, Sutton.”He fucked me harder, faster.“Fuck, baby, you’re gonna take me with you.”

Then he was locked inside me, his knot holding me in place as he swiveled his hips, driving me wild.“I want it,” I cried out a moment before I threw my head back, my orgasm unfurling, flowing through me one intense wave after another.My pussy clamped down on him, pulsing along with the heavy throb of his cock as he came inside me.“Yes,” I whimpered.“Yes.”

Still locked together, Jagger wrapped his arms around me and rolled to his side, holding me to him.

When I caught my breath, I pressed a kiss to his chest.“I never thought I’d ever have this.I still can’t believe you’re mine.”I looked into his gorgeous green eyes.“You’re my family, Jag.”I smiled.“My Prince Charming.”

“I never thought I could feel this way, but you made it so.I was so fucking scared to feel, but you brought me back, you made me feel safe enough to feel everything.”He kissed me gently.“I fucking love you so much, sunshine, my beautiful mate.”

I wound my arms around him.“I love you, too.”

Then we lay in the darkness, wrapped in each other’s arms, and for the first time in a long time, there was no fear, no panic that I might lose him one day, that he would leave me.

No, the fates knew exactly what that were doing.They’d led me to this moment.

Jagger would always love me, and he would never let me go.

Epilogue

Jagger

I curledmy arm around my mate’s shoulders as we stepped through the gateway from Hell and onto the clubhouse parking lot.

“I’ll go back in a couple days,” Sutton said, pressing her hand to my chest.

“Okay, sunshine.”

She’d just finished a healing session with Kurgan.I wasn’t sure there’d ever be any improvement, not without Lenny, but she insisted on trying.My mate was compassionate and powerful, and I couldn’t help but hope.

Zuri had been spending a lot of time with him as well.He was calm with her in a way I’d never seen before.She read to him and was teaching him to read as well.He could write his name, Zuri’s and Lenny’s as well.He could also draw.His sister had given him charcoal and pastels, and now his stone walls were covered in images, scenes, places I’d never seen and had no idea where he’d come up with them.Lenny’s name was everywhere.

The guilt was hard to deal with.Why hadn’t I done that for him?Why hadn’t I tried to give him more?But, then, I wasn’t sure anyone but Zuri could bring out that side of Kurgan.

We walked into the clubhouse, and Sutton made a little shriek of delight.“She’s here!”

Zuri stood with Ursula and smiled wide when she spotted us.It was her first visit, and my heart fucking filled to bursting when she strode over and hugged Sutton.I didn’t want to force her to hug me, but I really wanted to pull her into my arms and breathe in her gentle, fresh scent.To me, she smelled similar to Kurgan, and it ignited my protective instincts.

Finally, she turned to me and opened her arms.Thank fuck.I pulled her against me, hugging her tight.“Glad you’re here, Zuri,” I said against her hair, breathing her in.As soon as I had her scent in my lungs, the beast rumbled in contentment.My mate and my daughter were here with me, safe.

When she finally stepped back, she smiled up at me.“This is…” She bit her lip and looked around the room, and I realized every one of my brothers was staring at her.“Overwhelming.”I’d filled them in, but seeing a female hound was still a shock.

I looked around the room and growled low.My brothers quickly looked away.

Sutton laughed low and grabbed Zuri’s hand.“I think your sire’s feeling a bit protective.”

I turned back, and that’s when I realized what Zuri was wearing—the shirt I’d wrapped her in when she was a baby.I gave the sleeve a tug, my throat tight as fuck.“You still have it.”

She looked down, running her hand over the worn fabric, then up at me and smiled.“It’s my most treasured possession.”
