“Alright sweet girl, let’s get you to bed. It has been a long day, and a day full of surprises, too. Your eyes have gotten so much better, and you can now feel this.” He moves his hand on that spot and another small noise escapes me. The dark part of his eyes gets bigger when I make the noise. He carries me to my bed and lays me down on it. He then pulls my blankets up on me. My eyes are super heavy and it is hard to keep them open. I see Connor sit down and grab the book he has been reading to me while I fall asleep. But I don’t get to hear any of the story before I fall asleep.

Connor

Fucking Gods. The soft whimpers and groans Farlen made when we touched her or kissed that little patch of perfect skin on her back had me almost cuming in my pants. When I stood up, I had to adjust myself. Zachariah had to adjust himself a few times when she wasn’t looking too. I am hoping that if we can keep showing her how good it feels when we touch her, one day in the distant future, I won’t be standing in my bathroom jerking myself off thinking about all the noises she makes. Just remembering those noises has my balls tightening, and soon I am blowing my load all over the shower wall.

I get a washrag and clean up my mess. I put my still hard cock back in my pants and wash my hands. Farlen fell asleep almost as soon as she laid down. Tomorrow we are going to have to take her to Healer Daniel and find out what is going on. First though, I have a kitchen to clean up.

She looked so sad when Zachariah handed her the grilled cheese. I was too distracted by what Zachariah was planning to tell her what she was eating. I will have to let her know tomorrow. I go into the kitchen and wash the dishes we used tonight. I pull out my phone and look through my music list. I wonder which one of these she’d like. I walk back out to the sitting room and move the furniture back into place. I loved seeing her let go and just feel. She looked so happy dancing with us. This is what I want for her, carefree laughter and just finding joy in the little things like dancing because she feels like it.

Rhi left her phone on the fireplace mantel. I pick it up to goplug it in and it vibrates in my hand. There are only three people who have her number. And I certainly am not texting her right now. I glance at her screen and see that it’s from the Match Database. I won’t open it. She’ll want to hear it herself tomorrow. As I set it on the charging bay, it vibrates again, another message from the Match Database. Well, looks like those guys got their shit together fast. We are going to have to have a long talk with them about what is acceptable around her and what isn’t. I am not going to hold my temper back if they keep that shit up.

I wonder though, if meeting more of her matches is what is causing her healing? Is it something else? Things I’ll have to bring up to Healer Daniel tomorrow. I go lay down in my bed, planning out everything I need to do in the morning.

I wake up to a song playing from the sitting room that I’ve never heard before. I open my door a crack and see Zachariah standing there dressed. He holds his hand up to his lips. I nod to him, and move towards the sound. Farlen is in the sitting room dancing to a song about things not killing you, making you stronger. This girl. One day, she will see herself as strong as we see her. Zachariah nods his head toward his door and I follow behind him. He shuts the door.

“That was an amazing choice for a song.”

“Yeah, I figured it was something that she needed to hear at some point. I woke up to her moving around in her room a while ago. She took a bath and then walked out after she got dressed. She was humming a song from last night. Though I don’t think she knew what she was doing. She listened to her messages from the Match Database. How do we want to handle the other two?”

“I’m not sure it’s up to us. If she wants them here, who are we to stop her? We just need to make sure they understand what they can and cannot do around her or to her.”

He nods at me. “Tony messaged me this morning. He wants to come over and talk to us about some of the stuff that happened yesterday. It would be nice to hear what all he saw.”

“That’s fine with me. We need to have him let Healer Daniel know we’ll be bringing her by tonight. I want him to look at thehealthy patch of skin and figure out what could be causing it. If it is finding more of her matches, I’m going to drag every fucker in this town in front of her just to see if any of them are a match.”

“Yeah, I wasn’t thinking about that part. Good point. She has class with me this morning so I’ll take her to class and then if you want you can pick her up from me and take her to physical training? Hopefully Tony doesn’t try to make her fucking run today.”

I groan. “Don’t remind me. That is the second time I have been there when her heart has stopped. I couldn’t do anything both times and it’s not something I want to experience ever again.”

He claps me on the shoulder. Fucker is strong as shit. “Well, it sounds like there are going to be four of us now. You aren’t doing this alone anymore.”

“It’s been nice to have you around man, she opened up to you a lot faster than she did me.”

“I think it’s because you laid the groundwork for all of us. You got her to trust you, you got past her pain and hurt, and showed her that not every male is going to do the shit to her that was done to her before. Every day that you went without hurting her or any of the other shit he did, you showed her that you weren’t bad. Which is going to make it easier for all of us. Though that thought worries me, it is also going to make it easier for one of them to hurt her. Anyway, when the dragon and Xander come begging me to see her, I will sit them down and tell them about her. I’m not going to go into all the gory details with them yet, but just some of the shit that they really need to know. So don’t worry about having to have that talk with them again. Alright, I’m going to go get our girl some breakfast cooking. You want to come make coffee for her?”

“Yeah man, you cook. I’ll get her some coffee.”

Farlen

Connor and Rhi walk out of Rhi’s room. They both smile at me and I run over to them and give them a big hug. They both laugh and hug me back. I don’t know why I feel like this today, but I don’t feel like the world is pressing down on me. I feel lighter today. They both take turns touching that spot on my back where I can feel them, then walk into the kitchen together.

I really hope Rhi is making bacon again. There is a knock on the outside door. I don’t know what to do. Connor comes out of the kitchen and looks at the door, then at me.

“Instructor Payne was supposed to come by sometime this morning. Cover your eyes while I open the door sweetheart, I will let you know when you can open them.”

I turn around and cover my face with my hands. Connor opens the door and then swears. I hear fast movement behind me and arms pick me up. I hear someone breathe in through their nose.

“Mmmm, Scary Lady, I missed you. Did you miss me too?” Only one person has ever called me a scary lady. It’s Boyle man. I hear more heavy footsteps coming closer. And Connor shuts the outside door.

“Alright sweetheart, you can uncover your eyes now. The door is closed.” I take my hands off my face, and Boyle is standing right in front of me. His brown eyes just staring at me. Someone makes a sound behind me and I turn around fast. Standing thereis the big man. They were both in my dreams last night, Boyle now with brown eyes, and the big man, the one with the orange eyes.

“My soulmate?” I ask Connor, who is standing behind the two new guys.

“Yeah Farlen, you heard the message, so to help you with their names, the one with the brown eyes is Xander Boyle. He’s the wolf shifter the message told you about. The one with the orange eyes is the dragon shifter Vashu Dracokennedy.”
