“At her enchanted school,” Zane said, the first to walk toward me. “Ellie?” he questioned skeptically. “I scent it’s really you, but it can’t be. Aria said that you…” he shook his head in sadness.
“She said that you turned to dust particles,” Zac said, a broad smile stretching across his face. “Baby, you were fucking dead. How are you even back here?”
“I had to come back. I wasn’t done. I need to know Aria’s okay.”
Cole smirked, “You should be able to feel her even if she’s in the Fae realm.”
I inhaled, and I felt love, laughter, and peace.
“Mom? Are you back? You did it! I knew you would. I knew it.”
“Aria! Oh, my God. We can telepathically communicate like this now, always?”
I heard and felt her giggle. “Yes. We are connected.”
“I’m so sorry…about everything,”I said.
“I knew you were coming back. The prophecy Aunt Val told me has finally come true. I will be there as soon as I finish this…um,”she telepathically silenced herself.
“Finish what? I need to see you. I need you as much as I need your dad and uncles,”I said, feeling her hesitancy.“Wait. Aunt Val? She’s okay?
“Mom, you have to slow down and trust me. Yes, Aunt Val is fine. She’s been with me ever since you exhausted the last of your mortal body to save all of us. We knew you would return. The only question was when.”
Aria was talking level-headedly like this was any other average event—Mom coming back from the dead and talking to her via mental powers—it was like this was the norm for my daughter.
“I trust you. Did your dad and uncles know I would come back too?”I asked.
“Yes, but I had to spell them to have patience, or they’d have killed themselves, not knowing when this day would come. You need to be with them. I will be home soon, I promise. I love you, and together, we’re the protectors now. I love you.”
“I love you, baby girl,”I said.
I was snapped out of my mental conversation by the guys, pulling me into their arms and loudly begging me to answer them.
“I was only dead for likethirty seconds,” I said, getting a grip on the idea that my guys suffered a year of loss was going to be a hard one for me.
Braden smirked. “Well, I’m glad it was only that long for you, but it was a fucking year for us,” he answered.
“Then I guess we have a year to make up for, don’t we?”
I could sense the peace in the air for the first time since being thrown into this life with no preparation for the constant whirlwind of bullshit we faced since day one. The world was in order and the universe in balance. It was all pure and wholesome, and I don’t think I’d ever felt like this in all my life.
Thiswas heaven to me. Being with my guys, and then after all was said and done, all we had to do now was serve to keep evil at bay like the Banners had done before they met me. This was the good life, and this was the life I was ready to live to its fullest.
A month had passed.I lay in bed with Zane—the lover I never shared—and I turned to admire his gorgeous face. Gone were the days where our crazy appetites sparked some wild sex, well, except for Logan and Zac, of course. Those two rocked a threesome that I couldn’t go more than a week without. The others? I loved relishing in moments alone with them—especially Zane.
Last night had been so intense that I was getting wet just thinking about how deeply and hard Zane and I went at it for hours. My orgasms curling my toes, Zane’s eyes, glazing over in some wild, wolfy way when he came for the last time.
I ached inside to feel his hard cock, ramming me deeply while his cum exploded into me with so much intensity it opened my mental state to feel his orgasm through him and his hot cum filling me up as if it were the first time Zane had cum inside me.
“Fuck,” Zane exhaled. “I’m hard again,” I felt him laugh. “What the hell did you do to me last night, and what mental act are you doing to harden my cock again? My precum is already dripping.”
I smiled against his kiss. “I’m just thinking about how awesome last night was. It was so intense.”
His dark eyes met mine. “Elle, you did something with that mental shit you’ve got working for you. I’ve seriously never cum so hard in all my life. That shit will never be topped.”
I laughed with him, as confused as he seemed about it.
“I felt it,” I told him. “The way it sucked the breath out of you to feel my pussy clamp down around your dick so hard that it made you practically explode and fill me up.”
