“She asked for it,” Damien said smugly, rolling his hips into mine once more. My back arched as my legs unwrapped from his waist, and I moaned. Pleasure rippled through the bonds. “Didn’t you, little bird?”

“Yes,” I moaned. “I did.”

His lips captured mine before he pulled out from between my legs. There was a gush as he got up, and Rowan tossed him a towel.

“She looks so good with my cum dripping out of her. Look how pretty and pink she is.” He spread my legs to show them, and heat flushed my entire body.

“She is beautiful,” Thorn said.

“But both of us wish it were our cum,” Rowan summed up in a husky tone. “And you know that, you prick.”

“Too bad.” Damien stuck his tongue out at them before he cleaned me up, both of cum and blood.

I scooted up to sit on the bed, and Damien plopped down between my legs, his back against my throbbing core and head leaning against my stomach. “My little bird.”

“She’s my Kit.” Thorn dropped down beside me and wrapped his hand around the base of my neck before pressing his cold lips against mine.

The area between my legs clenched, and Damien stifled a yawn. “She’s already ready for more, and I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m tapped out for at least a few hours.”

“I can always go, fledgling.” The bed dipped on my other side where Rowan sat beside me, and as Thorn let go, Rowan swooped down and kissed me with a heated kiss. “How are you holding up?”

“I’m doing great right now.” I ran a hand through my sweaty hair, loving the closeness of my mates. “Damien is fantastic at distracting me, and to be honest, I don’t want to think about what happened in the forest right now. All I want to know is that we have a plan in motion.”

“We have Blair and Tabitha looking into the mole on campus.” Rowan helped me lay back as Damien moved my legs to dangle over his chest.

Thorn and Rowan pressed into each of my sides, and my magic was swirling with excitement at having all three of my mates close. We’d slept like this every chance we got. The only thing I’d like was for Thorn and Rowan to be naked with us.

“That could be arranged, Kit,” Thorn murmured.

“Don’t know what thought you read, but I’m assuming it’s dirty, and I’m in.” Damien’s words slurred as he fell asleep on me.

Rowan and Thorn chuckled, and soon after, I fell asleep too.

Itwasgettingincreasinglymore frustrating not having the matebond in place between Wren and me.

Anger scorched my throat, and I swallowed it back. “What do you mean there was another human experiment around Wren?”

“Exactly that,” Rowan said with a deep rumble in his voice.

The academy was supposed to be a safe place, but now that war was declared, nowhere in the supernatural territories was safe from humans—it wasn’t fair, but it was war.

“Trixie exploded it from the inside out by growing mushrooms inside of it.” Rowan scrunched his nose. “Norman was pissed he couldn’t study it, but we did get another confirmation that humans were using nanobots in their experiments. They were found in the mush that was left of the specimen.”

Running a hand down my face, I planted my ass in the seat across from Rowan’s desk.

I breathed in the lingering scent of Wren, wishing my office had her bearberry smell all over it. For that to happen, I had to stop keeping her at arms-length.

“I figured humans would combine technology with their own bodies soon enough. How’s she holding up?”

He reached out and grabbed the crystal sphere as red scales scattered his skin. “Trying not to worry us, but she’s not doing her best. She sends panic and fear down the bond at times, but she tries to mask it. The human rattled her.”

“What happened after?” I scooted to the edge of the seat and leaned forward.

Nerves churned in my stomach. I had a sick feeling of nausea wash over me yesterday. Without the bond in place, I never fucking knew if she was okay. I had to call Rowan to check. I didn’t care about anything but her anymore. She was my mate, that much was a fact.
