“Right?” I ask. “I felt it, too! Just didn’t want to sour the mood by moping around.”
Marcellus laughs, a joyful laugh that lights up his whole face. I can just imagine him with two kids surrounding him. He is going to be an amazing father. Previously, I was not sure if I would be such a great dad myself, but the more time I spend with Maddie and Charlie, and now with Dominic, the more I realize I have so much love to give.
Marius’ eyes light up in relief and joy. “I am so happy they will be in a good home with parents to love them,” he beams. “They will need a lot of support to heal.”
“We will give them all the love they need,” I say.
Under the table, I feel Marcellus secretly taking my hand and squeezing it. “And all the love we have.”

Epilogue
*BENJAMIN*
Iam insatiable. Ever since I marked Lori, I feel like I am drowning in happiness, and I can’t keep my hands off her. I just want to hold her all the time.
“Hey, babe!” I wrap my arms around her from behind. She has been going through her clothes to find something fitting for Silas’ birthday party. The latter had postponed the party a couple of weeks due to all the events we had here, including my gamma and Lucian’s beta ceremonies. He only celebrated with his closest friends and family, actually on his birthday, which included Lori and me.
But now it’s time for the whole pack to party.
“I don’t know what to wear,” Lori complains. “I want to match Silas’ energy.”
“No one can match Silas’ energy,” I grin. “Besides, you are beautiful in whatever you wear. You could literally wear rags, and you would look amazing!”
Lori laughs, the sound of it sending jolts of joy through my body. I love the sound of her genuine laughter. It always spurs me on to try even harder to make her happy. “You are obviously delusional,” she teases. “But I love that about you.” She turns around and rests her hands on my chest. “Do you want to know what else I love about you?” she asks.
I tilt my head. “I’d love to hear.”
“Hm.” She hums, pushing me backward until my legs hit the bed and I am forced to sit down. “I will tell you later,” she says while straddling my hips.
My fingers slip under the shirt she is wearing, pulling it over her head before unhooking her bra. Meanwhile, Lori rubs herself against my crotch, the rough material of the jeans I am wearing mercilessly rubbing against my dick. I swiftly open the button of her pants before flipping us over. Lori immediately clings to me, her fingers digging into my shoulders while she tugs at my clothes. “Too much fabric between us,” she complains.
“True.” I grin, letting go for her to take off my clothes. Once I am done, Lori is shimmying out of her pants as well. I help her by tugging them off her, making her laugh.
Finally, I have her in my arms, all naked. She is so stunning. I love every bit of her, every piece of skin, every freckle, every hair. Yeah, I am obviously obsessed with my mate.
Lori latches onto me immediately, her lips seeking mine, while I move my hand between our bodies. She is so wet for me already that I can easily slip two fingers into her. Usually, I love licking her. She makes the sweetest, most desperate noises, but somehow our needs seem to be more urgent today.
Lori presses a hand against my shoulder, pushing me up while straddling my hips. Resting her palms against my shoulders, she leans forward to kiss my marking spot. One of my arms holds her for balance, while my free hand strokes my cock to full hardness, helping her lower her hips onto it until my dick is fully inside her.
Lori gapes. “So full.”
“Bad? Is it too quick?”
She shakes her head. “It’s fucking amazing.”
She leans back slightly, giving me the perfect view of her perky breasts. I immediately take one of her nipples between my lips, sucking and tweaking it, while she starts moving her hips.
“Fuck,” I groan. “You are so hot, Lori!”
Man, my training sessions with Lucian and Marc definitely are paying off. I have so much more strength now. Well, I guess part of it is also thanks to Stellan. Talking of my wolf… he needs to have some fun, too.Your turn, Stellan.
Stellan’s presence immediately gets stronger. He doesn’t need a second invitation and takes over the reins. His hands grip Lori’s waist, lifting her up and down at a rapid pace, while snapping his hips upwards.
“Oh, fuck, Benji…Stellan,” she moans. “This feels… Faster.”
Stellan obliges, thrusting upwards until Lori moans our names over and over again. He hands back the reins to me again, and I immediately wrap an arm around Lori, shifting a little so that she falls on her back with me on top of her. Her legs rest against my shoulder, her body doubled over while I thrust into her. My hand finds its way down between our bodies. I think I could make her come just from fucking her, but I am not confident enough yet, and I definitely want her to come. My thumb circles her clit.
