My back bowed as Alister and Rhett swooped forward and clamped their mouths over my nipples. I cried out, and Damien allowed my shadow to stay wrapped around his neck as he moved behind me and kissed my neck.

I rocked, taking Rowan deeper and loving the feeling. The sensation of Rhett and Alister’s tongues rasping over the budded nubs of my breasts shot unfettered need to the throbbing clit between my legs.

“More,” I panted, and Rhett’s tail slipped down my stomach and put pressure on my clit as I rode Rowan, loving the fullness of him inside of me.

“Such a good girl,” Damien muttered in my ear as he clasped my hips, pausing me from my movements as he entered from behind.

A scream tore from my throat, and my body clamped down on both of them. “Damien! Rowan! Oh, Fates!So much.”

“And you’re taking them both.” Rhett hummed before blowing over my nipple and gripping my breast.

“Her pleasure is drowning the bond.” Alister moaned, suckling at the bud as he massaged the breast he was focused on.

Damien and Rowan started to move in a rhythm, and I clenched and rippled around them both.

A whine escaped my throat as I leaned my head back on Damien’s shoulder, letting them thrust into me and take all the pleasure my mates were giving me.

My release exploded, and my pheromones thickened in the room. I lost myself to the pleasure, not focusing on anything but the way Rhett’s pheromones danced over my skin. The feeling of both Rowan and Damien inside of me, Rhett's tail pressing against the nub between my thighs as he played with a breast, and Alister fangs slicing into my other nipple before lapping the blood from it all sent me into sensation overdrive.

My pheromones swirled around all of us, and our magic linked before we imploded together. Orgasms came in one brutal gust, and my body shook with tremors as their seed filled me and coated me.

“Oh, Fates,thank you.” I slumped down on Rowan with a pleasured but clear mind.

Damien slipped out from behind me, but Rowan stayed inside of me as the others collapsed on the bed.

“It's just nice to know we still have our sweet mate in there.” Rowan kissed my head, his dick throbbing with heat inside of me.

“The dark magic is tempting, but I'll always be here. It hasn't completely taken over, and I think being with you all has helped me fight it from taking over,” I murmured.

“Then we’ll be with you as long as it takes until we can rid that from you,” Alister promised, and the guys said their agreements.

The dark magic worried me, but I had to stay grounded with my mates to fight it.

"I'mgoingtoneedthe hailtz crystal.” I spilled the truth to my brother as we sat at the meeting table, just the two of us.

He’d been quick to accept my private meeting, as he usually was. Birch may have been a wild younger brother, but he was also smart and caring. He had more positive qualities than I’d ever realized.

Worry gnawed at my gut for leaving Wren, especially with her battling the dark magic, butthiswas a priority too—even if I hated to be away from her. The Supernatural Council had confirmed the humans had the relic, and that was just as much of a danger as the dark magic.

The others could probably handle her. Maybe… I had never seen Wren act so rashly before, and while I knew it was due to the effects of the dark magic and was unnatural—it was still painful to see.

“You know, Father said we should never use that.” Birch adjusted the crown on his head a little clumsily.

“I know what Father said, and I'm inclined to agree with him.” I held up my hand and formed ice crystals that swirled around it as I tried to focus. “But this is our only choice. The relic has been recovered by the humans, and if they can figure out how to channel all that energy to us, then there's going to be a lot of problems within Kalista. Not to mention, we have fae brethren that live there.”

“Is that the only way we can destroy the relic?” He rubbed his jaw, looking much more mature than he had just a couple of months ago.

Reconnecting with Adele and his son had made him grow. Not to mention, him becoming king.

“If there was another option, I would go that route, but we don't have another option.”

His gaze faltered, and he sighed. “Are you planning on using the crystal to extract the dark magic from Wren?”

I shook my head, bitterness rising in my throat. “As much as I would love to dispel the dark magic from her, that crystal also drains the life force, not just magical energy. I would never risk that with her.”
