  “Mine.” Seth growled against her neck, nipping with blunt teeth, as he peeled her away from his body and turned her in mid air, and she found herself on her hands and knees on the bed in front of him.

  Seth was behind her in an instant. He scented her arousal a moment before his tongue swiped over her sex and he tasted her nectar. The feral growl of the beast within him urging him on, and he pushed down on her back, bringing her backside up further in the air as her cheek was pressed into the mattress.

  Seth’s black eyes took in his mate and he tipped his head and allowed his beast the moment to savour her submission, before he gripped her hips and buried his face against her sex, devouring her with a speed that took her breath away.

  His tongue pushed inside her channel and he growled hard with the need for her, wanting to bury himself deeply inside her and thrust into her until she screamed his name and came around him, but he needed to taste her all of her. He worked his fingers against the sensitive flesh of her nub, taking her channel with his tongue as the inner muscles clenched, looking for more. Searching for him, needing him to fill her.

  That thought sent his wolf wild within him and he stroked his tongue down over her folds and slipped two fingers inside the slickness of her channel, fevered against her body, as she made sounds that sent his human side to the edge of reason within him.

  Seth felt her squirm and gripped down on her hip with his free hand, keeping her in place and devouring her with a ferociousness that had her breath hitching in moments.

  The hard growl of his beast rolled across the sensitive nub he had sucked into his mouth and made her moan louder, as he added a third finger and stretched her around him, thrusting back and forth over the sweet spot, until she cried out with her release, bucking against him.

  Seth pulled his fingers from inside her and grasped her hips with both hands to still her. His tongue was lapping over her folds and inside her channel, tasting her juices, savouring the scent of her sex, and driving her wild.

  In an instant he was kneeling behind her. His wolf was sated with the taste of her, but now it wanted more from her. The need to be inside her, to ride her hard was like a drug to his system, and he grasped her hips and rubbed his shaft over her folds, taking her juices over the length of him, before he positioned himself at the entrance to her channel and thrust in hard and deep to the hilt, claiming her body as his.

  Seth tried to hold onto the last of his power over the beast, but he was fighting a losing battle. Seated deep inside her he held still, allowing her body to stretch and relax around his hard shaft as her muscles still clenched and released around him from the orgasm that had ripped through her.

  “Seth, let it go, let him out.”Hannah breathed against the covers. She could feel the strain of her mate’s emotions as he tried to hold back, but she wanted this. The excitement coursed through her body like the blood in her veins and she needed the bond as much as Seth did to feel at peace now.

  The feral growl of the alpha wolf within him pierced the air and rumbled towards her a moment before he pulled his hips back and started to thrust inside her, hard, deep and unyielding in his demands on her body to find release, his beast was claiming her, he was claiming her as his.

  Hannah’s body responded to the carnal nature of the beast. The raw power of her mate was more than evident as he demanded her submission. Demanded her body climax around his, and she felt Seth move around her. His chest stroked against her back as he rode low over the top of her. His hands came down either side of her, caging her in with his arms, as he pounded his hips against her backside.

  She felt his hand fist her hair as he pulled her head backwards and to the side, exposing her neck and shoulder so he could nuzzle against the mark he had already placed there. His tongue ran over the mark and she felt it add to the build of her release inside her.

  Her breath was hitching within her; she couldn’t seem to drag enough oxygen into her lungs as she felt herself being swept up closer and closer to release.

  “Seth…”She grinded his name out as she twisted the covers within her fists. The deep thrusts against her womb and over the sweet spot within her became faster, more powerful, until she came apart, crying out his name.

  The pain of his fangs as they cut through her skin was like molten lava through her body, and then she felt his mind reaching for hers and she concentrated on that, opened her mind to him and allowed him inside.

  His beast was the first thing she felt, the sated and satisfied howl of the animal within him at completing their bond. Seth released his fangs from her shoulder and swept his tongue over the wound.

  “I want to see your eyes…”Seth growled hard as he pulled out of her and flipped her over onto her back. Thrusting back inside her and riding her hard, looking for his own release as she tried to open her eyes. “Look at me, Hannah.”

  The tone of his voice demanded her to comply, and she pushed her lids up and found his eyes locked with hers. Seth came down over the top of her body, his hand slipped against her lower back and he raised her hips from the bed. Taking her fast and deeply, until she didn’t think she could take another release. Her muscles were clamping down hard on him, and he growled with each stroke inside her as she tightened around him a moment before she clamped her eyes shut and felt the ferocity of the orgasm that ripped through her body.

  Seth felt it too, felt her release at the same moment as her inner muscles massaged him hard and fast to his own release, and he thrust against her womb as his seed exploded within her as he tossed his head back and roared.

  His hips snapped back and he thrust again and again, his seed spilling inside her, but he couldn’t find an end to the orgasm that continued to power through him. He couldn’t stop his hips from pistoning against hers, not fast, just hard and deep, over and over, and he felt her clamp down around him again as she cried out on another release.

  Her orgasm tore through his mind, his body, and he threw his head back and found another release of his own. Every muscle within his body clenched hard, almost painfully so, as he spilled his seed within her, over and over until he collapsed onto his elbows, his muscles quivering from head to toe.

  Seth used every last ounce of willpower he possessed to collect her to him and roll over onto his back with her. She was draped over his chest like a rag doll, fighting for breath as the aftermath of her release still rocked through her and she whimpered against his chest.

  Seth’s instincts to protect her took over. Forced him to reach for her and he slid her up his slick body.

  ‘God I hurt you, I’m sorry…’ He growled inside his mind as his hands brushed the hair that was clinging to the slick skin of her face away and he brushed his thumbs down her cheeks as he cupped her face.

  ‘Not hurt…’ The sound of her sweet voice within his mind shocked him.

  ‘Hannah?’

  ‘No the boogie man… your knee, my calf, ouch.’ It was the best she could do, there was no way her body was going to move itself, and he moved his leg from under hers and she felt the instant relief.

  ‘How the hell are you in my mind?’ Seth didn’t give a damn. The feeling of having her there was too exciting, too compelling, it had just been a thought out loud that she could miraculously hear.

  ‘Magic…’ He heard the laughter in her voice. Her lips turned up at the corners in the best smile she could offer him right now, and she felt his lips brush over hers.

  ‘Mine.’ He growled his claim on her and heard her sweet laughter.

  ‘I think we just established that.’

  ‘Are you hurt? It felt rough. I would never normally…’

  ‘Really? Because I kind of liked it…’ She teased back and he growled at her again, as he lifted her further up his body and rested her head against his shoulder. He still needed to properly tend to her wound, make sure it was sealed right so she would heal.

  ‘I’ll keep that in mind.’ Seth gently growled as he ran his tongue over his bite mark with infinite car
e so as not to hurt her anymore than he had too.

  ‘I think I need to sleep now, you need to put me down.’

  ‘You’re right where you need to be, sleep my love.’ Seth’s gentle growl soothed her into the dream world that could never match the wonders of her reality.

  CHAPTER THIRTEEN

  Seth felt her move beside him in the bed and ran his hand down over the swell of her belly. Each morning she grew fuller with his pups, and each morning he was more thankful than the last.

  “Good morning…”His gentle growl made her snuggle deeper into him. She didn’t care how hot it was in the room, and how hot his body was wrapped around hers, she wanted this closeness, and the fan would give her some gentle relief.

  “I love you…”Hannah turned towards him and opened her eyes, seeing the amusement residing on his face.

  “I feel a but coming on…” he growled gently down at her. Reaching up to brush the backs of his fingers down her cheek.

  “Not a but, just an and… or maybe a but…”Hannah felt as if her brain was addled, more and more with each day of her pregnancy and she wondered if that was normal or if her little pups were sucking up her brain cells.

  “You’re hungry…”He teased and she rolled her eyes.

  “Ravenous. I could eat the bakery clear of stock, clean the shelves and then suck up all the leftover crumbs from the trays and…”She groaned in her need. “God could I then go to the fridge and devour the bowls of icing and the chocolate…”Seth rolled her over onto her back and grinned down at her.

  “Do you want me to drive you to the bakery?”He chuckled and she flashed him a smile.

  “Bertha’s muffins…”She gave a low growl of her own at the thought of the hot, fresh muffins that Bertha was probably pulling from the ovens now. Right now, right this very moment in time when she was here, in bed, a car ride away from those tasty treats. “Am I drooling?”

  “Something like that. Get up, throw on something… unless you want me to dress you…”He offered and she scowled.

  “That would be keeping me from my muffins, and you do not want to keep me from my muffins do you?”Her voice raised an octave with every word and Seth swallowed down hard, shaking his head and quickly climbing out of the bed, away from her new found wrath, and she shot him a look of suspicion. “Did I do it again?”

  “A little shrew, but you are allowed…I just fear for my manhood sometimes.”Seth tried soothingly, and she climbed up onto her hands and knees and padded to the edge of the bed.

  “I would never do anything to your manhood.”The wicked look in her eye had his half mast filling with blood and growled at her gently as her eyes suddenly flashed with annoyance.

  “As long as it doesn’t get in the way of me getting my hands on those muffins.”She informed him stepping from the bed and looking around her as though she had lost something.

  “What’s wrong?”

  “I was…?” Addled again. Damn. What was she going to do?

  “Clothes and shoes…”He offered and she brightened.

  “Muffins.”She growled again with renewed vigour.

  Bertha saw Seth’s pickup pull up outside and grinned to herself. Every morning for the last two weeks without fail her poor alpha had to transport his pregnant mate for muffins. Bertha received the warning text from him and tossed a fresh batch into the oven so by the time they got here they were still hot.

  “Morning Bertha, I don’t suppose you have any warm muffins?”Seth asked as he lead Hannah to the counter, waddling all the way as her eyes took in the rows and rows of heavenly delights that the elder had taken over preparing for her, when the shop had become a little too much.

  “Just pulled a fresh batch out of the oven. Sit down and I’ll bring them over.”The amusement lit her eyes as she reached for the plate and watched Hannah waddle to the table, eager for her morning feast.

  It was like feeding a lioness, as Bertha placed the plate down on the table and pushed it towards Hannah, her hand shot out and she scooped up a muffin, peeling back the paper as her eyes feasted on it and her tongue moistened her lips in anticipation.

  “Coffee Seth?”Bertha chuckled, watching Hannah bite into the muffin and roll her eyes, as the sound that rolled through her sounded almost obscene. Bertha saw the alpha reposition himself in his chair and knew that he’d recognised that sound from somewhere before.

  “And queue mama number two…”Bertha chuckled as a harassed looking Declan helped his mate into the shop and Bertha took her place behind the counter.

  “Bertha, apple Danish, as many as you’ve got as fast as you can, before she sinks her teeth into something else.”Declan rushed out on one breath and snatched the plate of Danish that Bertha was already putting down for him, as Mary waddled towards Hannah and eyed her muffins.

  “Don’t even think about it.”Hannah snapped as her hand shot out and she scooped the plate towards her.

  “Muffins. Yuck. I want… need…”She dropped into the seat beside Hannah and Declan shoved his offering towards his ravenous mate.

  “Feeding time at the zoo.” Kay swept in from the back and leaned her elbows on the display case, as she watched her sisters devouring their breakfast. The swell of her own belly was more than evident these last few days and she sighed at the thought of what was to come, would she devour plates of food as her pup grew inside her?

  Seth couldn’t help but chuckle as he watched the sisters. “That’s what happens when you have a Lycan pup swelling your belly. I’d give you another month before you’re the same.”Seth laughed as Kay scowled at him and curled her lips in distaste.

  “Where the hell do they put all that food?”She felt Bertha’s hand rub over her stomach and turned towards the elder.

  “He gets it…”

  “He?”Kay’s eyes widened and Bertha gave her a knowing look and Kay couldn’t help but jump up and down on the spot with excitement.

  “Two boys and two girls, that’s equality.”Seth offered reaching for the mug of coffee Bertha placed before him.

  “Twins is so much work though…”Hannah muttered taking a moment to rub her hand over the pups inside her. “Right?”She eyed Bertha who nodded.

  “Twice the work, twice the fun, and you have a whole pack to help with that work.”Bertha reminded her and she grinned.

  “Trust Hannah to not do things by half…”

  “Well, if we’re going to have six, we might as well have them in two’s.”Seth reminded her, and Hannah frowned long and hard before she shook her head.

  “No.”She mumbled between bites and Seth narrowed his eyes on her.

  “Have you reconsidered having so many already love?”He asked on a chuckle and she nodded, swallowing down the mouthful of her tasty treat.

  “I think as we are having twins now, then we should have another, which makes seven, but you can’t have seven because it’s an odd number, so we should have eight…”

  “Eight.”Seth echoed and Hannah nodded. “Eight.”Seth said again, wondering if he would survive another six pregnancies, or if his mate would kill him by then.

  “Why don’t you just have a football team and be done with it?”Kay chuckled as her pup kicked her bladder and she shot off for the toilet. “Be right back.”

  Declan looked at Mary and swallowed hard. “You don’t want eight pups, right?”It sounded almost like a plea to Seth, and Hannah shot a look at Mary as she scowled at her mate.

  “Is there something wrong with having eight pups?”Mary demanded and Declan swallowed hard again. “Do you not want to have pups with me?”Mary leaned as far as her swollen belly would let her over the table top and tore into him with her eyes.

  “No…”Declan started and Mary shrieked. “I mean yes. Nothing wrong with eight, yes I want pups, lots of them, with you…”Declan rushed out hotly and she sat back and dropped the Danish in her hand on the plate.

  “So I’m just a baby making machine?”Mary demanded, and Hannah took pity on the young Lycan who looked like h
e wanted to head butt a wall for relief. She reach out, putting her hand on Mary’s to calm her.

  “Eat your Danish, you’re being a cow.”Hannah announced and Mary’s bottom lip quivered as tears sprung to her eyes and she snatched the pastry back up and tore a piece off.

  “I don’t mean too…”She sniffed and Seth rolled his eyes and Declan growl gently towards his mate. Taking a step forwards and pulling her up into his arms, soothing her.

  “But you do it so well…”He teased and she hiccupped and smiled at him as he brushed away her tears.

  “I’m a big fat…”Mary started and Declan brushed his lips over hers, silencing her.

  “You’re beautiful.”He assured her and Hannah’s heart lurched inside her and tears sprung to her own eyes.

  “He’s so sweet. Why can’t you be sweet like that?”Hannah demanded on a hiss as she glared at Seth and he chuckled, reaching around the table and scooping her up and onto his lap.

  “Do you feel unloved sweetheart?”He teased against her ear and she shook her head.

  “No.”She batted away the tears and pouted, and Seth reached for a muffin and handed it to her. “Good, because I love you more with every day that passes.”He whispered against her ear and felt her squirm on his lap, making him hard and growl gently, as he nuzzled against her mark.

  “Oh god really, tears again?”Fiona announced as she and Mac walked into the bakery and she eyed her sisters from across the room.

  The iced bun hit her square in the face and she turned to look at Kay with a death glare as Kay rested her hip against the counter and crossed her arms over her more than ample breasts.

  “You’re lucky you’re pregnant…”Fiona hissed and Mac wrapped his arms around her.

  “Is that a literal statement, love, because if you have empty arms we could look into…”Mac pulled her against him and buried his face against her neck as she shook her head.

  “Look at them…”She motioned around the room and Mac chuckled. “We’re going to have enough nieces and nephews we can borrow, and the good thing is we get to return them.”
