Sensations exploded around us. My body heated as I felt some kind of power rush through it. I screamed, muffling it against his skin as I came again as this feeling rolled through me.

Axel gave a shout as he came, his hips jerked, thrusting into me roughly one last time. He shuddered as he gasped for air.

Our eyes were wild as we rode whatever high this was together.

“Where do you think they went?” Cody set the pack of sodas from the fridge onto the table we brought outside.

I pressed the pilot light on the grill. “Axel didn’t say, but he’s been working on something for the past few days. He’d let us know if it was something to be concerned about.”

Cody pressed into my side and I wrapped my arm around his shoulders. He’d been having a hard time since Becca changed. He didn’t say anything, but I knew how his mind worked. He thought it was somehow his fault. Like he’d thought it was his fault his family was massacred. Mating with Becca seemed to have settled him a little.

“Now that we have Becca, we’re going to be okay, right?” He looked up at me with the biggest eyes that always melted my insides. He knew it too.

I moved my hand from his shoulder to the middle of his back. “Everything will be alright, Cody. This family won’t be easily defeated.”

“Hey, help me bring out the steaks and burgers, slackers.” Wyn walked out the back door with his arms loaded down with plates of food to be cooked.

We’d settled our aggression with each other with our fight. There was still trust that needed to be built, my tiger was stubborn about it, but Becca did and that was enough for all of us. He was the oldest, he was close to thirty. I couldn’t tell yet if he and his animal would mate with everyone or just Becca. Either way, he was pack now.

“Nah,” Cody grinned wickedly. “We like watching you lift heavy things.” He ran his eyes down Wyn’s body before looking up suggestively, biting his lip in exaggeration.

I had to bite back a laugh. The wolf was not subtle about his attraction.

Wyn shook his head at us as he placed the food onto the table next to the grill. “You’re such a flirt. I better keep my eye on you.”

When he winked at Cody, I had to hold him up with my arm because Cody got weak kneed. I couldn’t stop it. I started laughing.

“And now you’ve made it nearly impossible to get rid of him.” I ruffled Cody’s hair as he straightened.

“Who would want to? He’s adorable. What a cute pup.” Wyn stepped closer, effectively boxing Cody between the two of us. He reached out to tip Cody’s face up. “Are you going to behave while we make dinner for everyone?”

Knowing Cody, I held my hands on his hips to make sure he didn’t just collapse. He enjoyed being dominated and Wyn oozed dominance. Cody pressed his ass backward against me, stirring my cock.

“Yes, sir,” Cody barely managed to reply. His body had gone limp against mine at Wyn’s touch.

The man was sneaky. He grinned down at Cody, bopped him on the nose, and stepped back.

“Great! Let’s get cooking, guys!” He went back inside to grab more things.

Cody slid into the seat nearest to where we were standing. “Holy crap.” He waved his hand in his face. “That wasn’t fair! At all!”

“Well, he certainly has your number.” I turned back to the grill to check the temperature, but also to stop from laughing at Cody. “This is going to be so much fun.”

“Seth!” Now Cody whined. My cheeks started to hurt with how wide my smile was as I grabbed a plate of raw steaks.

“Sorry, Cody,” I was laughing as Jasper came outside with Wyn. “No sympathy from me.” Especially if that had been a glimpse into what the future held with Wyn.

“What are you guys teasing him about this—!” Jasper began asking a question when an electric shock went through our connections, nearly bringing me to my knees.

Cody jerked in his chair as he clutched the edges of the table. Jasper would have fallen if Wyn hadn’t grabbed onto him to stop him. Wyn stumbled as the shock rocked through all of us.

Wave after wave of overwhelming power and pleasure pulsed through me. My mark from Becca on my inner thigh throbbed. I forced myself to stay still as I could feel my magic strength building. It was like I’d inserted one of my claws into an electric socket and the currents were wracking my body.

“What is this?” Wyn’s teeth were clenched as his body visibly shook.
