But that wasn’t in her control. That was firmly in the hands of fate, and sometimes it worked in very strange ways, it would seem. Now she had a home, a job, and a pack. But most of all she had them—Graham and Jude, two men who would do anything for her and always made sure she was safe and happy.

“So, we’re coming to take you out,” said Jude. “Don’t worry, it’s all been cleared.”

Delilah looked over to Miranda, who smiled and raised an eyebrow. “Oh, well I don’t know if I should. I mean—”

“We’re going,” said Graham, that look of determination on his face only an alpha could have. It always stirred something in the pit of her stomach, and this time was no different. “It’s all been arranged, so nothing to worry about.”

“Okay then,” she replied, taking off her apron and heading to the counter where she folded it and placed it in the drawer.

“Have a lovely day,” called Miranda as was on her way to serve a customer. “Don’t worry about anything. It’s all sorted.”

“Thank you,” Delilah said, before heading back to her guys. They were dressed casually but were still hot as hell. She often found herself wondering how she got so lucky. Just one of these guys was a hell of a find, but two!

“So, where are we going?” she asked, as they led her out to the car. “I mean I’m not exactly dressed for anything, really.” She looked down at her jeans, wondering if she should go home and change.

“No need to worry about that,” said Jude. “Besides, you always look a million bucks.” She smiled and pecked him on the cheek.

“Kiss-ass,” said Graham.

“Oh, don’t worry, Mr. Alpha, there’s plenty for you, too,” she said, kissing him as well. Jude laughed, and she tried not to. They were always teasing him for being the tough guy even though underneath he was sensitive and caring.

They drove out to the edge of the city, to somewhere she hadn’t been before. The buildings became lower and then started to disappear, replaced only by fields. That’s when she realized they were approaching an airfield.

“Wait, where are we going?” she asked, wondering what the hell was going on as they pulled up.

“Only for a quick trip,” Graham said. “Come on, let’s go. The chopper’s waiting for us.”

“The chopper!” she shot back, incredulously. “I’ve never been in a helicopter!”

“Good, another first we can share,” Jude said, taking her hand and squeezing. “Come on. You’re gonna love it.”

They climbed into the aircraft, Graham making sure she was properly strapped in and safe before the pilot launched them into the air. “So, we’re gonna be going out west,” Graham said through the earpiece. There’s some forest out there that’s hard to get to by car or foot. We know how much you miss the outdoors, being in the city.”

She swallowed down her emotion, truly touched by how thoughtful this way. As they got underway, she watched as the buildings became fewer and the trees started to take over, with nothing but green stretching for miles. It took her by surprise just how expansive it was, and her feet itched to be on the ground.

“There’s a landing spot just over that ridge,” said the pilot after a while. “I’ll land there and be back for you in three hours. No one’s out here, not even hunters, so you can run freely.”

And that’s what they did—ran, breathed in the clean air, smelled the scents of nothing but the earth with no trace of humans or the city. Delilah had never felt so free in all her life. It was like a dream come true—one that they made happen for her.

After stretching their legs and running wild across the wilderness, they shifted back to their human forms and returned to the bags that the guys had brought with them. Inside were the makings of a picnic fit for royalty, complete with an exquisite bottle of ice-cold vintage champagne, suitable for a queen and two princes.

“Oh my god, you didn’t need to do all of this for me,” said Delilah, overwhelmed with how well they treated her.

“Yes, we did,” said Jude. “To show you what you mean to us.”

“We’d do anything for you,” said Graham in an uncharacteristic show of softness. “Which is why we want to ask you if you’d marry us, enter a mate-bond—the three of us, forever.”

The three of them, forever.It made her heart sing. “Of course I will! Yes! Yes, Yes, Yes!”

She felt so high she could have flown home without the aid of the helicopter. The flight and the car ride back were bathed in a warm and comfortable silence, each of them lost in feelings of happiness.

“It’s been the best day of my life,” Delilah finally said when they got back to Graham’s place.

“Good,” he said, pulling her close and kissing her passionately. “And it’s not even over yet.” He picked her up and carried her to the bedroom, Jude following behind. “Thank you for saying yes, for being ours forever,” he said as he placed her down on the bed.

“Thank you for asking me to,” she replied as they undressed and showered her body with kisses. She’d never get enough of what they did to her, worshiping every inch of her skin as if she were a goddess.

They were so focused on her that it was sometimes difficult to get her hands on them, but she was getting better at it, knowing what she wanted and when. Tonight she wanted them both, wanted to be filled by each of them—her mates to be.
