Haiden
“So, love, I know a lot has been going on, but we also had something we needed to discuss with you as well,” I say seriously as the movie finishes, and I turn on my side to look at our girl lying on Levi’s chest.
“Oh no. It can’t be good if you, of all people, are being serious.” She half-mocks, but the way her body tenses tells me she’s worried. My brothers all sit up to face her, Levi scooting her to one side of his lap so he can also see her.
“It’s not bad. I swear.” I hold my hands up to show my innocence.
“With our ascension as Alpha’s and Luna ceremony tomorrow, it is custom that the new Luna be marked by her Alpha, or in your case, Alpha’s…” I say slowly.
Her eyes wide, and her mouth drops open slightly as she looks around at us, but doesn’t say anything.
Xavier, ever the peacemaker, jumps in. “This can be done during the ceremony, but the marking process can be quite an…intimate feeling. So, we wanted to give you the option to do it beforehand, in private, if you wish.”
“Oh…umm…but I won’t be able to mark any of you back yet.”
“You won’t need to for the ascension, and we’ve already discussed between us that the mating and your marking for us can one hundred percent go at your pace,” Noah says softly.
“We know everything is happening very quickly, doll, so we wanted to give you as much choice as possible.” Levi finishes.
She nods slowly, processing the given information, and I’ll be honest, I’m fucking sweating to know what’s going through her brain.
“I think…I’d like to do it before the ceremony, in private.” She says quietly. Luckily, we have enhanced hearing, or I would have missed it. “But I do have a request.”
“Anything, love. You can have anything.” I lean over and grab her hands, rubbing circles on the back of one with my thumb.
“I’d like it to happen during the mating process.” I still my movements, and the room goes deadly silent as we all stare at her.
“You…want to…”
She cuts me off. “I want to have each of you inside of me, making love to me when you mark me.”

Holy fuck. My brothers and I each share a look before we settle back onto her. She’s deadly confident in her composure as she waits for us to find our words. A huge grin spreads over my face as I speak first.
“Like I said, love, you can have anything you want.”
“We would be beyond honoured to mark and mate with you, Envy.” Xavier looks at her in awe.
“It can happen however you would like it to.” Noah nods.
“And we won’t be upset in the slightest about who you choose to be your first,” Levi adds. Right, I forgot about that part. We’ve spoken about it before, sharing our Luna. We all agreed there would be no harsh feelings about being picked first or last, or having solo time or a group activity. We decided that our Luna will be the one running the show, and we will be happy with whatever we’re given.
“I’d like Xavier to be my first.” She says confidently, looking at him, and I think we all already knew that would be the case. He waited for her, just as she did for him. It will be a special moment for both of them. His face lights up even more if that’s possible. He looks at her with pure love and adoration as he leans in to give her a soft kiss on the lips, and she smiles at him sweetly, returning the feelings.
“I would be honoured to share that first with you, little mate, thank you.”
She leans back in to kiss him again, and the scent of her arousal fills the room, making me groan. Watching her kiss my brother like that has my cock twitching with anticipation. She looks so fucking good while she does that. Levi’s hands tighten on her waist as he moves her back to his centre. I know he’s hard too because when he bucks his hips slightly, she gasps into Xavier’s mouth, and he takes that opportunity to plunge his tongue inside her mouth. Noah tugs at the bottom of her shirt, and they break their kiss for a moment while he yanks it off over her head. Leaving her in a black bra that shows off her hard nipples. Fuck, is this really happening now? I’m going to mate and mark with my mate. My Goddess blessed, true
mate. Fuck….
When she said what she wanted to do, I didn’t expect it to be right in this second; I thought maybe she would need some time to adjust to the idea. Maybe she would want to do it tonight, maybe in the dark, maybe one by one in private, but fuck, the scent she is giving off is so strong, and she’s not saying no as my brothers kiss and touch her everywhere. She wants this, she wants us, now.
I was frozen in place for a moment. Utterly in shock, but as Hawk sends me through mental images of what our girl would look like on her back, shaking and moaning in pleasure for us, I can’t help but move forward to her. Xavier is on one side of her, kissing her mouth, Noah on the other side, kissing her neck, Levi is underneath her, his hands rocking her hips slightly against himself, so I move between her legs, kissing her chest as I pinch her nipples on top of her bra. Levi flicks it open in a quick second, and I pull it free and toss it to the floor somewhere. Fuck, she’s beautiful.
“Are you sure you want this, doll?” I ask as she breaks the kiss with Xavier.
“Fuck, yes, please.” She pants.
