He blushes slightly and shrugs. “I was busy. So, this is Emrys.”

I look at his entwined hand and the very attractive omega standing beside him.

He glances up behind me, searching for someone, and finds them, apparently.

“Shale!” Beau shouts. “Get your ass out here!”

I glance back and see Shale and Mael rushing down the stairs.

“You’re here!” Shale growls.

“We’re family. It was a family gathering. Seemed only right.”

The cousins slam into the two men. Shale hugs Emrys hard, lifting him off his feet and swinging him round before letting him go and turning to Eben.

“You ever disappear like that again, and I’m going to kick your ass.”

Eben shrugs. “I work in forestry. Whoops?”

Mael growls and puts him in a headlock. “Not cool, cousin.”

We step back, and they follow us up, hand-in-hand.

Later that night, when we’ve retired to our bungalow and I’m lying naked and entwined with my alphas, I let out a sigh. I’m staring at Kingston’s chest, stroking his new tattoo. It’s a depiction of a moon goddess with long blue hair. All of them went out and got tattoos last week, and all of them were images of a warrior woman with blue hair and the moon.

I love them so much.

“Whats wrong?”

“Nothing's wrong, Edric. I’m happy, perfectly, completely, and thrilled. We have homes, and our packs, and extended packs. So many people in our lives. We have money, love, safety, and security. Our health. Family and friends. But, most of all, I have you. I have all of you. I am so happy that just thinking about it could make me cry.”

Edric is quiet for a long moment. “What could make this life more perfect for you?”

I pretend to think. “There’s only one thing I can think of.”

“Yeah, what’s that?” Mael asks with a frown.

I roll Bailey onto his back and straddle him. I lean down, watching him as his pupils dilate, and he flexes up into me.

“A knot…or four.”

Kingston gets up behind me and kisses my shoulder, leaving me gasping.

“That…can be arranged.”
