My head falls back and I’m left staring at the cavern ceiling as I’m sent hurling towards my orgasm, holding on to his shoulders for dear life. “Tian!”
His name left my lips as I shattered in his arms, his own release following right behind with a loud groan, spilling into me and holding me still.
I’m practically dead weight in his arms as he pulls me off his cock and lowers back into the water, cradling me back to him. And just like that, my nerves are soothed and I’m focused back on the goal with single-minded focus: get to the portal and bring the fight to Satan.
I won’t let these visions hold me in a death grip of fear mentally. I’d changed the outcome of my visions before and I’d do it again.

Feelingthe weight of the eyes of my mates at my back as we came to the end of our journey, I knew they were worried about me after seeing me taken away to the private hot spring with Tian. We emerged and had immediately filled them in on my vision, reassuring them that I was confident we’d prevent it from happening.
Perhaps it was my calm demeanor that actually had them stewing in their thoughts, but we didn’t have time for me to assuage them further. I’d promised to talk it out in greater detail after we’d made camp at our destination and it had been enough to tide them over for now.
Finally, we were approaching that spot with sunlight left in the day to spare—perfect timing. We’d met no enemy forces along the way, and I had a sneaking suspicion that they were pooling their forces back in Hell for a full-fledged attack. They didn’t want to lose any soldiers, but I was certain they still had spies in the shadows, keeping tabs on us.
We’d kept a swift pace, despite a short break at the springs to recharge, not wanting to allow their spies time to report back about our resting place. Thankfully with still having daylight left, we could fortify a camp before night fell, helping us form an excellent position.
Reaching the edge of the forest, only miles of mountain ranges stood before us, obscuring the portal in their depths. I let out a howl to signal that we had arrived. I knew I didn’t have the most strategic brain amongst us, so I would look to others to help us figure out the best place to make camp.
We waited for the back of our forces to arrive with the supplies in tow. My eyes searched for Morgan, knowing she had been pissed at me since I told her this morning she would be tucked away in the mid to end of our line.
I appreciated that she was so headstrong and wanted to prove her worth, but I wasn’t willing to risk her.
Her beautiful wolf appeared, trotting over to us with our bag in her mouth, dropping it at our feet and whining. I shifted back and she bumped her large head into my hands causing me to brush my fingers through her soft fur, reassuring her, “We’re okay. There were no scuffles with the enemies and I’m fine if you’re concerned about the vision.”
Grabbing her clothes and my own, I tossed the bag over to my mates, leading Morgan away to change with her in the shadows of the forest. I knew it was probably ridiculous that I still insisted that we create boundaries of her not seeing penises willy-nilly, but I knew she had been secluded for much of her life with Henry. I would do my best to uphold her purity and remind her of her worth before she was shoved into the nude lifestyle of the shifters.
I was the biggest cockblock on this earth when it came to Morgan, and I’d wear that badge on my forehead with pride.
After we donned our sweats and long sleeves, I pulled her under my arm and asked, “Still upset with me?”
She groaned but I could tell it was just to sound dramatic and peeked at her face, which was hiding a small smile. Her eyes flicked to mine and her face split into a wide smile, unable to hide it any further. “No,” she admitted, “I can’t stay mad at you for some reason.”
I let a fake evil laugh bubble out of me as I ruffled her hair. “It’s all part of my master plan. Get you to love me so much that your teenage hormones are unable to hate me for long.”
“Kira! You’re ridiculous,” she joked, cheeks flaming at the mention of her hormones and teenage mood swings.
As I dropped my arm from her, she was quick to grab it and stopped us in our tracks. “What’s up?” I asked, curious to why we paused.
Her eyes darted around nervously before she took a deep breath and then threw her arms around my waist instead, crushing her head to my boobs. The words tumbled from her mouth in a rush, “I love you, Kira. You are the best big sister I could have ever asked for. I thank Selene in my prayers every night for bringing you into my life.”
Oh, be still my beating heart. This girl would bring me to my knees with her love.
Wrapping my arms around her, I held her tight and kissed the crown of her hair. “Morgan, I never realized how much I was missing in my life until I met you. Yes, my mates are such a big piece of my heart, but I hope you know you are just as important to me as them. You will be in my heart, always.”
I wanted her to hold on to those words when I was gone, because it was true.
“Kira!” Caleb shouted, “I want you to meet someone!”
My heart was full from my talk with Morgan, so when he approached us with an eerily similar-looking man at his side, I was overflowing with giddy excitement. This had to be a family member of his.
Bouncing on my feet, I beamed at the newcomer and Caleb confirmed my thoughts, gesturing to the man and introducing him. “This is my older brother, Reagen. My family arrived the night before you awoke, but I wanted to give you time to come back to normalcy before springing them on you.”
“So,” Reagen drawled, dazzling me with his white smile. “This is the woman of your dreams and heart. A pleasure to meet you, Kira.”
He held a hand out and I met it, shaking it firmly. “The pleasure’s all mine,” I countered. “I’m so thrilled to meet Caleb’s family. You must all be so lovely to have raised a man like him.”
The brothers shared a look that said a thousand words and they dissolved into a fit of laughter before Caleb calmed himself enough to admit, “We sure drove our parents wild.”
