Epilogue

Nadia

“ T hat’s it, little witch, ride my cock,” my alpha wolf growls. He’s partially shifted and his claws dig into my thighs. The bite of pain helps distract me from the slight ache in my ass.

Echo pulls all the way out and thrusts until his hips slam against my ass cheeks.

“Keep slapping into her like that, and she’ll be taking my knot whether or not I planned it,” Ridge growls.

Knight chuckles around my tit. “No one wants to wait for that thing to go down.” My hand tightens around his length as Wraith pulls my mouth back to his cock. I got distracted, but I wrap my fingers around the base right above his knot and get back to making him moan.

Being fucked under a full moon by my four monsters is definitely a high point in life. Ten out of ten, would recommend.

“Run your thumb over the slit.” Knight wraps his hand around mine, helping me jerk him. He always uses considerably more pressure than I probably would without his guidance.

“Fuck, little witch,” Ridge snarls. “I’m about to breed you full of my pups.”

I grin around Wraith’s cock. I’m no longer appalled by the idea of a yard full of children.

“Goddamn,” Echo moans against my shoulder. “Don’t clench or I’m going to...”

Ridge pinches my clit, and I explode. Pleasure zips through my entire body as I lock down on Ridge’s and Echo’s cocks. My vampire strikes my shoulder, sucking deep pulls of my blood as I try to remember to jerk Knight and suck Wraith.

“I’m there too.” Knight pops up, aiming his tip at my tits. He loves coming all over them. I think because he knows he’s more likely to get to fuck me next, since no one else wants to be covered in his cum.

Wraith takes over with a hand in my hair. It’s taken years to get him comfortable enough to make me choke on him. He swells to the point I feel like a snake unhinging my jaw, but my body is so overloaded with pleasure that I barely notice the warmth of Knight’s cum hitting my tits.

“Definitely breeding you full of my babies,” Ridge growls, working my hips as he fucks up into me from below.

I choke on the extreme volume of cum Wraith spills into my mouth as Echo grunts against my shoulder, shaking and barely thrusting.

They definitely know how to make me feel like a queen.

Violet stomps through the front door with her arms crossed. I grimace at Echo, who shrugs. She doesn’t say hello, simply heads up the stairs toward her bedroom. I stand up, handing our three-year-old to Echo.

After five kids, I’ve finally decided I’m done. I’m no Aline. I don’t know how she keeps her sanity intact with nine little monsters, but I’m not about that life. I lean close, brushing my lips against my vampire’s and aim for my oldest daughter.

Unlike Hazel, who mostly sticks at home with us, Violet has a completely different personality. She’s outgoing and wears her heart on her sleeve. She’s also sixteen now.

Jesus Christ, I feel old. Although, I did learn recently that I stopped aging.

Wraith believes it was the blood bond between me and my demons.

Echo is convinced it’s a side effect of the tether.

Whatever it is, it doesn’t bother me as much as I would have expected.

I’m just grateful that I didn’t have to work any questionable magic to stay youthful, especially since our kids are all immortal.

I finally make it to Violet’s door and knock gently. It’s not all the way closed, and I spot Hazel consoling her sister.

“I could devour him if you’d like.” Hazel blinks, tilting her head in a way that reminds me of Wraith. “He wouldn’t be a very satisfying meal, but I don’t mind.”

“Come in, Mom,” Violet calls. “And no, don’t be ridiculous. It’s not his fault he doesn’t like me.”

I stumble a step. Damn, I was really hoping we had a few more years before significant other trouble became a thing. “Who are we talking about?” I take a seat on Violet’s other side, and she immediately snuggles into my chest.

“Veryn,” Hazel says, blinking her beautiful void like eyes. “He’s in love with Ember.”

“Yeah, he told me I’m way too young for him.” Violet shrugs.

Well, I do agree with that.

God, being a parent is super complicated. I know from experience that forbidding something and making a huge deal out of it can often backfire. It makes whatever is being placed off-limits seem even more desirable.

I try to keep myself level as I say, “You only have a year and a half before you turn eighteen. Once you hit that milestone, age isn’t such a huge factor, but he definitely is too old for you at this stage in your life.”

“Yeah,” Violet huffs. “I know.”

I hug her tighter, so she knows I’m not trying to hurt her.

The problem is, I really don’t think she does know.

I was her age, and I remember getting into much worse trouble than either of my girls has.

It’s also complicated because they’ve barely aged in the last two or three years.

They look like they’re in their early twenties, but due to the accelerated aging that comes with being a supernatural, they still have a few years to go to reach maturity.

“But you guys finally said we could date,” Violet mutters.

I squeeze her even tighter. We’ve had a fair number of conversations about consent and safe sex, but we venture into the conversation about appropriate ages of dating partners for this stage in her life.

“I love you, but Mom makes everything weird.” Hazel tosses a thumb toward the door. “So, I’m going to go.”

Violet snorts. “I love you too. Thanks for threatening to murder Veryn for me.”

“Anytime,” Hazel says, heading out.

“I love you so much,” Violet says, rolling her head up to look at me as she rests against my shoulder.

It makes my heart pound.

I wasn’t sold on kids like my guys were, but when it became clear they’d be in my future, I promised myself I’d be nothing like my own mother.

Those memories are even more difficult to comprehend now that I know the level of unwavering love I feel for my kids. Ultimately, I think my mom was mentally ill. I like to think it wasn’t her, but her sickness, that I saw that night.

“I love you too. I’m always here if you need anything,” I say with a weird hitch in my voice.

“I know. I think I’m going to call Gemma and Rogue,” Violet says.

Aline’s daughters are close to my twins. It’s easy enough to see I’m being dismissed, so I kiss her forehead and head out too.

I close the door and jolt when Wraith manifests at my side. “Apparently, Veryn gets to live to see another day,” he says softly.

I snort.

Life is absolutely an adventure in Haven.

I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what happens with the next generation of monsters.
