will. That’s not what I’m talking about.”
“Then what are you saying?”
He took her left hand in his and stroked her ring finger. Her heart skipped a beat at the significance of what the simple caress implied.
“Ethan will be your mate in the shifter world, and I…” He lifted his gaze to hers. “I want to be your husband in the human world.”
Husband. He wanted to be her husband. He’d be hers, not just symbolically but officially. Legally.
“Noah.” She couldn’t say anything else. Tears clogged her throat.
He grinned, obviously seeing the happiness in her expression.
“Will you marry, Hannah? Will you be my wife?”
She threw her arms around him. “Yes. Yes, I’ll be your wife.”
He squeezed her tightly. A shudder ran through him. “We’ll have a shifter wedding. The three of us. We’ll all wear rings, but the legal paperwork for the humans will show you as my wife. That’s okay with you, isn’t it?”
She kissed him. “Yes. That’s okay with me. Ethan’s okay with it too, right

“Until Maria got into his ledger, there was no proof. Michael is a lot of things, but above all that shit, he knows how to manipulate and lie.” Noah sighed. “He also wasn’t always a bad alpha. The first two and a half decades after he took over were good. Sure, our pack wasn’t rich, but we were safe. Happy.”
She’d known that. Michael had been respected, even by her father. All that changed in one night when…
“Ethan matured.” She turned in her seat. The certainty of her thoughts took root. “The spirit wolf wanted to be returned to its rightful bloodline. It only put up with Michael because it had no choice.”
Noah flashed her a pleased smile. “Exactly.”
“You told me about confronting Michael. So you didn’t know about Ethan’s parents, then?”
He shook his head. “No. Ethan had to be careful. He was the son of the old alpha and—”
“Michael’s wolf might’ve urged him to kill Ethan to prevent him from reclaiming his family’s pack.”

“Actually, not just somebody. My true mate.”
He snorted. “I know. I know. If you were here, you’d be rolling your eyes and telling me that I was being foolish. That true mates weren’t real, but they are. Hannah’s mine. She bridged me and my wolf.”
He picked at a few blades of grass. More guilt squeezed his chest. He’d never told Mindy about Ethan. “She’s also Ethan’s true mate. She belongs to both of us. We’re going to live together. Love together. The three of us, you understand? Ethan’s my lover too. Has been for a long time.”
Silence stretched as he struggled with how to tell her about his plans. “And when they die, I’m going to follow them. Spend my eternity with them.” He squeezed his eyes shut. They burned. “Not you. I’m not going to seek you out unless you’ll let me be just your friend again. That’s all we should’ve been

Nic inclined his head. “True. The gods no longer touch our lives, but there was a time when they spoke to our alphas through the spirit wolf. Some even made deals with them like the first Jager male had.”
Noah tensed. “Deal? What kind of deal?”
“One that guaranteed they’d only be able to bond with their true mate.” Nic shrugged. “I don’t know the details of the story. Nona wrote down the tale. I can let you borrow it if you’re interested, but many viewed the deal as a curse, not a blessing, and called the Jager family fools.”
Ethan’s lack of response to women. And other men. In light of Nic’s revelation, it made perfect sense. Damn if it didn’t make Noah feel pleased too. He’d been right. Both Ethan and Hannah were his.

.
The touch of her pack’s spirit teased her mind in a way it never had before. It didn’t exactly speak to her. She didn’t need its words to understand what it offered—the same blessing it had bestowed upon her and Ethan.

love to her mouth and her body.
They fell into a rhythm of give and take. For every rough drive, she lifted her hips to meet him. He fucked her as hard as Ethan had taken her, shaking her body with every stroke. It wasn’t any less than what they’d shared. It wasn’t better either. It was just as special, though. And unique. The realization eased some of the worry she’d felt. She didn’t want to care for either male more than the other, nor did she want to exchange one for the other.
She wanted their relationships to stand on their own, yet mesh.

“Me too.” Noah shifted over her. “And I need Hannah to complete me.”
She linked her arms around his shoulders and spread her legs wide. “Then love me, Noah, and let me inside your heart. Let me fill the emptiness inside you.”
“Oh, Hannah.” He kissed her, making love to her mouth and her body.

er, and her heart stopped. Full green eyes stared back at her. She’d bridged him, exactly as she had Ethan. It wasn’t what left her breathless. One truth did—Ethan and Noah were her true mates

was the possession displayed in his green depths. Noah would own her, exactly as Ethan did. He’d make her beg. Make her scream. And enjoy every damn second of it.
She scooted backward. He grasped her ankle, stopping her futile escape, not that she actually wanted to get away. Instincts drove her. He grabbed her other ankle and spread her legs wide, just to the point of pain. Her eyes rolled back, and her mouth opened on a gasp.
He had her exactly where he wanted her. There’d be no easing her into the moment. Noah would take from her. Her lower belly quivered more. She wanted that. For him to possess her. She drew in a rough breath, her excitement growing unbearable

She tipped her head back to meet Noah’s gaze. The look of possession on his expression matched the one Ethan wore. A sense of power mixed with the warmth and peace she’d experienced upon waking. “Do you want that? For me to tame you
