They looked like the happiest of threesomes as they silently chatted, using their newfound gifts.
Jealousy like none I’d ever known crashed over me in waves, threatening to dismantle my mind.
But at least the punishment — the torture was over, I told myself, scrabbling to get a grip.
Little did I know, it had only just begun.

“I can’t believewe’re mated. Truly mated,”Sea murmured, gazing down at me, his eyes tender and soft, even as my sex clenched fiercely around his huge, hard knot.“I feared this day would never come. Tell me — promise me I’m not dreaming.”
“I don’t see how even our subconscious minds could imagine something like this,”I replied over our new mate bond with a wry grin.“I mean, I’m milking you like a cow — but with my down below. Pretty sure you’re not making that up.”
“It’s real,”Wild assured us, his voice threading through our bond, revealing that it now connected all three of us.“We’re bonded just as the gods intended it.”
He leaned forward, bracing both hands against the bed’s surface, looking every bit the grave, commanding boss — who happened to be completely naked.
But then his mouth hitched into a half-smile, and he said,“Thanks for not making the two of us have to do a jig first, Flower.”
We all burst out laughing, and the emotional impact was… unexpected. It wasn’t just my own laughter I was feeling. There was Wild’s amusement — his pleasure that I was finally responding to his humor — and Sea’s relief, his joy that we were all getting along. The waves of shared emotion washed over me, binding us even tighter.
Honestly?
Outside of mating them, laughing with Wild and Sea over our new bond was the best feeling I’d ever had. For a moment, the world around us was nothing but sweet bliss.
“Alright, Wild, you’ve had your fun,” another voice said, cutting through the moment. “Time to untie me and let me go home.”
We all turned to look at Aidan, still bound to the chair.
But there were a few differences from the last time I beheld him.
His hands were balled into fists.
And the flesh between his legs was no longer flaccid. It was standing up straight and pulsing like Sea’s had before Wild made it disappear inside me.
My breath caught at the sight of the male who wouldn’t even open the bathroom door downstairs, so obviously aroused.
“Ye don’t look ready to leave just yet,” Wild said.
His voice sounded dry and unbothered. But the strange rage spiked again, and I could feel him seething over our mate bond.
“It doesn’t mean anything,” Aidan spat through clenched teeth, shaking his head in disgust over his straining arousal. “It’s just a biological response to being forced to watch your pathetic little piece of amateur porn.”
I’d never seen amateur porn, but the scathing look in his eyes made it clear it wasn’t something the kind of she-wolf Aidan would truly want would take part in. His words hit me like daggers thrown, flooding me with shame.
“Let him go,” I said to Wild, saying the words and pushing them over our mate bond.
“No,” he answered.
It was just a single word, but Wild growled it with even more ferocity than he used to threaten me about trying to run again.
Then Sea abruptly unknotted inside of me.
“Looks like you got everything I had to give,” Sea said, rolling off of me with a happy groan.
“Good girl,” Wild murmured.
His mood lightened over our mate bond, and he sat down on the other side of the bed to stroke errant curls out of my face. I vaguely remembered throwing my hair in a couple of braids before I left for the wedding — what felt like eons ago.
