Page 20 of Dante's Circle Reborn

“Hi,” she whispered, her voice high-pitched.

“She doesn’t say much. I think she’s a little too young to have full-on conversations with us.”

Alec kissed the top of her head, and she nuzzled into him, her eyes closing.

“Hell,” he whispered, hoping Mili hadn’t heard. If he had ovaries, they would have burst.

He finally understood that joking statement.

“Dante told me what you said.”

Liam’s brows rose. “And?”

“It seems neither of our places is going to work. We’re going to need a bigger place for the three of us.”

Liam’s heart practically burst as Alec came to sit next to him on the bed. Liam scooted over just a bit, and then Alec was there, leaning against him, with Mili sleeping in his arms.

“I’m sorry about your brother,” Liam whispered.

“I’m sorry I almost wasn’t fast enough.”

“You don’t get to blame yourself for that. You heard what Dante said. Something’s happening.”

“I know. I just wish we would have been able to figure it out faster.”

“Me, too.”

“There’s no going back,” Liam whispered.

“I never thought there would be. I love you.”

Liam let out a little growl, his wolf reaching towards its mate and the girl who could one day be their child in truth. “I love you, too.”

They had so much more to work out, but they had time to figure it out. After all, they’d had centuries to work out who they were as a couple, as friends, and as men.

Alec was his, had always been, and Liam had almost lost him because he had been too afraid, and had ignored things for far too long.

There is no going back, he reminded himself. And as he looked at Alec and Mili, he knew he never wanted to.

ChapterSix

Alec fisted the sheets, sweat beading on his brow as he groaned, pushing back into Liam. Liam gripped Alec’s hips so hard that Alec knew there would be bruises in the end, and he didn’t care.

Another thrust, another shout, and they kept going, moving as one, Liam filling him up so completely that he knew he wasn’t going to last long.

And then Liam was reaching under him, gripping his cock, pumping hard.

He came on a shout, Liam following right after, and then he was boneless, unable to even keep himself up on all fours.

They lay there, sweat-slick and laughing because they weren’t really on the bed anymore. Somehow, they had rolled off to the side of it, sheets on the floor, pillows on the side table, barely missing knocking over the lamp.

“Well, then. That’s one way to start the morning,” Liam said, kissing Alec’s shoulder over their mating bite.

They had been back in Alec’s home for two days, and Liam was fully healed. News of their mating had already spread throughout the Pack. The den was excited, awaiting their mating ceremony later that night. First, they needed to finish another ceremony.

Later today, they would officially be given their titles, having fought in the circle the day before.

Only it wasn’t what anyone had thought.
