Charlie POV
Wren is sleeping soundly between Destin and me. I can't take my eyes off her. Everything about her is mesmerizing, but she isn't mine. I know she is Destin's mate, but I can't shake the feeling that she is mine, too. Without the Moon Goddess to guide me, I feel lost. I am drawn to her. My wolf, Rolfe, wants me to claim her even though I have told him she isn't ours to claim. Yet Destin is suddenly so willing to share her? It is all so complicated.
I look up to see Destin staring at me. His face is unreadable, but I don't think he is pleased.
"Why did you share her?"
He shrugs his shoulders. "She isn't property. She wants you, too, and I want her to be happy."
"That's not it," I whisper. "It's not that easy. She is your mate."
Destin rolls onto his back and gazes at the ceiling. "Fae Creatures are not as possessive as werewolves. I want what makes her happy. Shouldn't that be my whole purpose, to make her happy?"
"Yes," I mutter. "I guess, but this feels wrong."
He looks up and smirks. "Does it? Did it feel wrong last night?"
I return my eyes back to Wren. There is a smile on her face while she sleeps. Being with Wren didn't feel wrong. Not for a single moment. But werewolves aren't used to sharing, not unless the Moon Goddess permits it.
My phone rings loudly on the bedstand, and Alpha Leo's name flashes on the screen. "Ah fuck."
Destin looks at the phone and chuckles. "No one hates me more than that man."
"Do I answer it?" I whisper.
"He is your Queen's mate. Not mine."
"Alpha Leo," I answer the call. "What do I owe the pleasure?"
"Don't play stupid," he snarls through the phone. "What the fuck was my daughter doing at Heat?"
I run my hand down my face. "She made friends with some girls from my pack. They took her. I was unaware of where they were taking her."
Destin snorts. "Sure you didn't."
"Rumors are flying in the werewolf world. They are saying she went into a playroom with that fucking Fae," Alpha Leo shouts.
Wren stirs at my side, but Destin runs a finger along her skin, and she curls into his chest.
"He is her mate," I remind Alpha Leo.
"A mate that doesn't want her," he growls.
Destin curls an arm around Wren and pulls her closer to his chest. "I think Destin might be coming around. Wren has been persuasive."
"I am telling you to keep him away from my daughter," Alpha Leo snaps. "Or I will bring her home."
His voice has gotten louder, and I have to hold the phone away from my ear. Wren stirs again, only this time Destin is unable to put her back to sleep. She rolls onto her back and reaches for the phone.
"Hi, Daddy," she mutters.
"What the fuck are you doing with Alpha Charlie at this time of night?" I can hear him yell through the phone.
"I won't speak to you if you yell at me," she grumbles.
Alpha Leo lowers his voice, and I am unable to hear what he is saying.
"I am not coming home," she sighs. "Last I checked, I am an adult, and what I do with my time is my business. It I want to go into a playroom, I will."
Destin palms one of her breasts and pinches her nipple. She gasps lightly and smacks his hand away, but he only moves to her other breast. Her eyes roll back in her head, and she mumbles quiet answers to her father.
She ends the call and tosses the phone to me. I stare at it in shock. I have never heard anyone speak to one of the Luna Queen's mates in such a way. I wouldn't be surprised if Alpha Leo shows up and drags her away after that phone call.
Destin's hands have moved between her legs, and Wren is moaning lightly. Her hips rise and fall with the rhythm of his fingers. She is chasing another orgasm, and she is beautiful. My phone is ringing loudly in my hand, but I toss it to the side. I don't want to miss out on another opportunity to fuck Wren.
My phone stops ringing, and hers starts. If she doesn't answer the call, I am positive there will be consequences, but none of us seem to care about what those are.
Wren's screams beautifully as an orgasm pulsates through her body. I bite down on her nipple while she comes, and another wave of pleasure washes over her. Destin removes his fingers from her core, and I replace them with mine.
She reaches for me and pulls my head down to meet hers. Her tongue brushes against my lips, and a growl rumbles in my chest. Despite fucking her last night. I did not get a moment to kiss her. Now that her lips are pressed against mine, I want to take my time.
The kiss is slow but greedy. We both want to savor this moment as our tongues intertwine. It is everything I hoped kissing her would be.
As I push her over the edge again, Destin's phone rings.
"Alpha Leo," he chuckles. "It is so great to hear from you. I didn't know you had my number."
I pull away from Wren, and her eyes are wide. She wiggles out of my hold and tries to take the phone away from Destin, but he holds her at bay with a single arm.
"I don't think a trip to the Gravestone Pack is necessary," he continues to smirk. "Alpha Charlie seems to have everything under control."
He winks at me, and I groan loudly.
"Actually," Destin continues. "They are with me now."
"Put my daughter on the phone," Alpha Leo growls loudly.
"My mate," he emphasizes the word, "is busy with Alpha Charlie. We will have to call you later."
He ends the call and tosses the phone to the side. Wren's face is bright red. I can't tell if she is angry or embarrassed. Maybe it is a mixture of both.
"What did you do?" She mutters.
Destin tackles her onto the bed and hovers over her. "Your parents are coming to visit. I think it will be the perfect opportunity to tell them about our little trio."
"You have lost your mind," she whimpers.
"Maybe," he says before kissing her deeply.
"They will never approve," she sighs.
Destin grinds his hips into her. "Your mother has two mates. Why shouldn't you?"
