Page 24 of Her Curves, His Fate

The little girl sat up, eyes narrowing at her brother. Her hands fluttered and glowed seconds before a burst of purple light shot from her hands, knocking the boy backwards. He yelped in surprise and shifted back into his human form.

“Sophia!” Nora called. “That’s not nice.”

“Whoa!” Rafe examined, impressed by his daughter’s growing ability.

“Do not encourage them, wolf man. It’s like laughing when they do something wrong.”

As if to prove her point, Sophia’s little hands moved again. This time, Devlin floated helplessly above the ground. Instead of being afraid, he started trying to swim through the air, his little face alit with pleasure.

Rafe tugged Nora back to his side. “Relax. She won’t hurt him. Their bond is too strong. They’re amazing, aren’t they?”

“Absolutely,” she agreed. “And they have you to thank for that.”

“Us,” Rafe corrected, his voice low and filled with desire. “We made them together.”

Nora turned to look at him, her eyes dancing with mischief. “Yes, we did. And I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”

“Neither would I,” Rafe growled, his hand sliding down her back and resting on her curves. He gripped her hip, fingers digging into soft flesh. “I’ll make sure she learns control,” he rasped. His hand slipped between her legs from behind. “But right now, the only magic I care about is between your legs.”

Nora’s eyes darkened as her arousal grew. “The children are right there.”

“They can’t see anything,” Rafe murmured, his lips brushing against her ear. “And maybe we can celebrate again tonight... just the two of us.”

His touched turned harder, deeper, and Nora could feel her pussy flooding in anticipation. She pushed back against him. “Sounds like a plan.”

Rafe turned her face to his, the move arching her neck. He gave her a hard, sharp bite before, crushing her mouth in a bruising kiss. He broke the kiss, grinning at Nora’s dazed expression. “Go get the children. It’s time for their lessons.”

Nora blinked, always shaken after his display of dominance. She would always protest if he started acting too arrogant, but her body responded all too happily when he became that hot, alpha male. She swatted his chest. “You’re incorrigible.”

“You love it,” Rafe said smugly. He watched her walk over to the children, his gaze tracing the sway of her hips.

His cock throbbed, eager to bury itself in her welcoming heat. Rafe sighed. Much as he wanted to, now wasn’t the time. The children came first.

“Time for magic lessons!” Nora said brightly. She scooped up the little girl while Rafe picked up his son and put him on his shoulders. They headed into the forest, Rafe leading the way to their secret glen. A surge of contentment filled him, his wolf preening at having his mate and children together.

After years of loneliness, he finally had a family. A family he would protect with his life.

“Today we learn control,” Rafe said, meeting his daughter’s eyes. They glowed with power and intelligence beyond her years. “You have a gift, Sophia. But you must learn how to wield it.”

Sophia nodded solemnly. “I don’t want to hurt anyone.”

Rafe smiled. “And you won’t. Your mother and I will make sure of that.”

Nora took Sophia’s hands. “Close your eyes and focus on my voice...”

Rafe turned his attention to his son. The boy was already shifting, his bones cracking and reforming. A black wolf pup, with a white patch on his chest, stood before him. He was Rafe’s spitting image as a boy and as a wolf.

Rafe’s wolf rumbled with pride at the powerful shifter his son would become. Just as he and Nora would teach Sophia control, so would they teach Devlin everything they knew about being a shifter. Being an alpha. And when the time came, they would set him loose on his own path.

“What’s so funny?” Nora asked, standing and brushing dirt from her jeans.

Rafe nodded at their son. He was running alongside his sister on two legs, both chasing after a butterfly. “Reminds me of when we first met. All that energy and not an ounce of control.”

“Mmm,” Nora purred, sliding into his arms. “I seem to remember you taking control of the situation quite nicely.”

“Indeed.” That sexy, smug smile that drove her crazy curved his full lips.

“Rafe, you’re thinking naughty thoughts again.”
