Grave Sight | A Reverse Harem Romance

No one could say my men didn't know proper aftercare. Especially Kyler. He had a warm washcloth and ointment within five minutes of our finishing our little rendezvous, and he and Lucian cleaned me and bandaged their bite marks before dressing me in loose clothing.

I didn't ask how they looked. If I remembered correctly, the skin around the bites would be red and ugly, and I knew they still seeped blood and plasma. I idly wondered if drinking blood would help me heal the bites, but my mind was foggy. Neither Kieran's bonding, or Lucian and Kyler's mating went on for as long as we usually did when we had sex, but I was exhausted. Completely and utterly drained.

I blew out a breath, rolling onto my stomach.

"How bad was it," Lucian asked.

I didn't bother trying to sit up to look at him. I doubted my body would have let me. "It hurt for a second. But then it didn't anymore. They hurt like a bitch now though."

They pulsed in time with my heart, sending a little shockwave of pain across the muscles in my shoulders. I thought about asking them if they could message Kieran and ask him if blood would at least make the pain a little more bearable.

I couldn't even bring myself to be surprised when Kieran came into the bedroom, already called by Lucian or Kyler. Behind him walked Selene. She smiled gently at me, and I gave her the best smile I could muster. I probably looked like I had thirteen shots of tequila and I was hanging on by a thread, if her chuckle was any indication.

"Selene can heal you," Kieran said after peeling back one of the bandages and inspecting a mark. "Well, to a point. The marks have to heal mostly on their own. Right, Lucian?"

He didn't say anything, so I assumed he nodded since Selene walked up to the bed and sat down. She peeled off the bandages, cringing a little at the look of them.

Bonding with a vampire and mating with a werewolf were two completely different things. Kieran's bite healed almost instantaneously, whereas apparently for Kyler and Lucian's marks to be "valid", they had to heal on their own. Also there was no pain with Kieran. I couldn't say that for Lucian and Kyler, though I honestly wouldn't trade it.

"This may hurt for a second," Selene warned before placing her cool hands over the wounds.

I closed my eyes, feeling a little burn as she worked. It wasn't that I could feel the blood clot, it was more of an awareness that she was doing it. The burn eventually trickled away into nothing but a cool tingling sensation.

"There," she said, and I opened my eyes. "All better. Do they still hurt?"

I wiggled my shoulders. There was some tightness, but all in all it didn't hurt whatsoever.

"No." I pushed myself up. "Thank you, Selene."

"It's the least I can do for what you've done for me," she said. "And the least I can do for my new master."

I didn't like the sound of that at all. "No, Kieran is your master. I'm just..."

"You're my master's bond, which makes you my master as well." She smiled. "But I can tell it makes you uncomfortable, so I won't call you that anymore. I can't say others will call you anything else though."

They would eventually if they knew what was good for them. I knew it would take time to get the respect the master's bond needed, but it was a challenge I was willing to face. Honestly, as long as I didn't let Mateo and Paul walk all over me, I think it wouldn't be too hard to gain that respect.

Mateo and Paul were like little insects in Kieran's clan, and if they didn't relax on the whole fuck Nova she's a bitch thing, they'd ultimately be kicked out or killed. Kieran's patience with Mateo had thinned exponentially since I first met him.

Selene stood from the bed. "I'll let you have your time with her. I'm glad it's you, Nova."

With those words, she left, leaving me staring after her in confusion.

"Still tired?" Kieran smiled.

"Very," I said. "But it's not so bad now."

"Do you think you could replicate her power if needed?"

I thought for a moment, remembering how the healing felt. How she put her hands on me and immediately I felt calmer. More relaxed. The feel of the pain slowly seeping away.

I nodded.

With me being able to mimic powers, I knew I'd be beneficial in both Lucian's pack and Kieran's clan. I don't think that's why Kieran had Selene heal me though.

I fell back in the bed and stretched my arms above my head.

"I see you bonded with Lucian and Kyler on top of them mating with you," Kieran said conversationally.

Lucian and Kyler both eyed him.

"Is that a problem?" I rolled onto my side to face him.

In the beginning, it would have absolutely been a problem for him. When I accidentally marked Lucian when I found out how to make my bites pleasurable, Kieran was noticeably displeased. But the look on his face now was bland indifference.

"It's not," he said.

I grinned. "The bromance has bloomed."

Lucian looked at me, then back at Kieran. "What?"

Kieran shook his head. "Nova."

"It's okay!" I held my hands up. "I'll be a fourth wheel to this little romance going on between you three."

Kyler's lips curled up at the corners.

"Don't mind me," I breathed, covering my eyes. "Pretend I'm not here."

"If you think I won't redden your ass just because you've been thoroughly fucked, you are so wrong," Kieran warned.

I shot him a worried look. He wouldn't.

Would he?

The look on his face told me he would, and Lucian and Kyler would watch it happen.

Nope. Time to do the old switch-a-roo.

"Who's going to cuddle me?" I made grabby hands, holding myself back from commenting on the fact that whoever didn't sleep with me could cuddle with the other. Number one, I was not prepared for one of Kieran's punishments. Number two, I was just going to keep that mental image to myself.

Kyler slid underneath the covers and shooed away the other two before pulling me against him.

Lucian flipped off the lights as he left, Kieran following behind him and shutting the door.

"Goodnight," Kyler whispered into my hair.

I closed my eyes, relaxing within Kyler's arms and his all encompassing warmth. Then I allowed myself to fall into a deep, dreamless sleep.

A/N: I have a surgery coming up next week so I may not have an update next Friday (because of course it's on the week of the last chapter, right? 🙄)

Sorry for the late update! I hope you enjoyed regardless.
