Theo growled, and pulled me over the centre console onto his lap. The sparks had my head spinning in pleasure. I couldn't get enough. I lost myself in the kiss. His arms wrapped around my waist, pulling my body closer to his, and my arms found themselves snaked around his neck. When the kiss just started to get heated, I pulled away, gasping for air. My eyes met Theo's and we held each other's gaze, breathing heavily. Time stopped. I could gaze into his eyes forever. A couple of moments passed, just us chasing to catch our breaths before I broke the silence.

"That was..." I pause to take a breath.

"Amazing." Theo said, finishing my sentence for me.

I smile at that and run my fingers through his hair. " Yeah. It was." To tell the truth, it was the best kiss I've ever had, and I've had my fair share. I have never felt like this before. My stomach forming knots, rendering me unable to comprehend anything. Talk about being kissed stupid. I pull myself out of Theo's lap and back over to my seat and rest my head against the headrest.

"To think you were going to just throw this away by rejecting mate." Odette scoffed.

"Shut up, wolfie. I'm not giving you the satisfaction of having your 'I told you so moment'. I'm blocking you out." I retort, and block her out. She's the last thing I need right now.

"Come on, let's head inside." He said, opening the car door and jogging around to my door. He opened my door and offered his arm to me. I gratefully take it and step out. 

"Thank you." I say as I straighten out my dress. Theo leads me back inside and I was hit with Henry and Oliver's scents as soon as the door opened.

"You look absolutely stunning, sweetheart." Henry said with a grin, adoration in his eyes. It made me blush and I look down at my shoes to hide the blush.

"I can't believe you let this idiot take you on a date first." Oliver scoffed, and  I growled, my head snapping up to meet his gaze. 

"Maybe if you hadn't been such a fucking asshole, then maybe... just maybe, you could've had that privilege. But no. You marked me without my permission. Even my wolf is pissed off at you. Theo and Henry have treated me with nothing but respect. Yes, I freaked out when I first caught your scent, but if you hadn't have lost your shit and kept a cool head, you would've understood why! So, you'd better get your shit together. You have a lot of grovelling and apologising to do and until you do so, you will not be spending any time with me." I snap, and hurt flashed across his face, but it was quickly masked with a blank expression. I glance over at Henry. I could tell he was both proud and a little amused at my little outburst. "That being said, we need to have a talk." I say, looking up at Theo, who gave me a knowing look. 

Minutes passed and we were once again sat down in the same places in the living room as we sat last night. Our second talk in two days... I don't know whether to call it good or bad, at least we're kind of being open with each other. Kind of.

I sigh and look over at the triplets. Theo must've said something to reassure Henry and Oliver, because their expressions softened from their worried ones quickly. "Theo and I were discussing the colours of our wolves earlier tonight, but I wanted to tell all three of you together. Fuck it, I'm just going to rip the band aid off. My wolf is a white wolf." I say, and watch the shock register over Henry and Oliver's faces. "Except, not just an ordinary white wolf. She has gold paws and the tips of her ears and tail. I don't mean blonde, I mean it is gold. It shimmers. I don't know how it's possible, but here we are." I continue, and this time Theo joined in on Henry and Oliver's shock. 

"Well fuck, I didn't see that one coming." Henry said breaking the silence between the four of us.

Theo spoke up. "You are definitely not going anywhere without protection, if one of us is not with you." I roll my eyes and shake my head. 

"We're serious, Inez. Being a white wolf puts you in a monumental amount of danger." Oliver said, leaning forward. 

"We'll have to do some research about what the gold means. It might have something to do with everything that's happened. Theo, Oliver and I ascending the throne, and you having three mates." Henry said. I didn't even think of that. Looks like Henry has the shared braincell today.

"I think you're right Henry. There's got to be a reason behind it. But I'm going to have to end this conversation here. I just wanted to tell you because it's too much to keep from you. Aria really tired me out today. I'm really tired. I've never known someone to shop so much in my life." I say as I run my fingers through my hair. The triplets all laughed.

"Come on, Darling, let's get you to bed." Theo said, beckoning me to him. I stand up and straighten my dress out. 

"Good night, Henry." I say, leaning down to give him a hug and a small kiss on the cheek. 

"Goodnight, Sweetheart." He said, placing a kiss on my forehead.

"Goodnight, Oliver." I say, walking away towards Theo. He growled and glared at his brothers. "You need to have a serious think about what I said, Oliver. You're not getting anything from me until you apologise." I say, looking back at him. Theo wrapped his arm around my waist and escorted me out before Oliver had the chance to respond. He leads me up to his room. I kick off my heels and take out my earrings.

"Theo, could I borrow one of your t-shirts?" I ask, turning to him. His eyes darken and he nods.

"Of course, Darling. You don't have to ask." He said, disappearing behind a door, quickly returning with one of his t-shirts. "Here you go darling. The bathroom is just behind that door, there." He said, pointing towards the bathroom. 

"Thank you. I won't be long." I say, giving him a small smile. I disappear into the bathroom. I remove my makeup and slip into Theo's t-shirt. I take a moment to breathe in his scent, closing my eyes briefly. Goddess it's heavenly. I unlock the door and step out. Theo's eyes land on me and he growls, and he's almost instantly stood in front of me. 

"You look stunning in my clothes, darling." He growls, pinning me against the wall. I had to fight back the moan that threatened to escape. It feels good to have him close. "Oh how I wish I could have you to myself." 

I chuckle and place my hand on his chest. "I'm all yours tonight, Theo." I say. "But I want to take things slow." He nods.

"I know, Darling." He said, giving me a small kiss on the head. He dips down and picks me up bridal style. I giggle and rest my head against his shoulder. I'll never tire of the sparks. He places me down gently on the bed and I settle under the covers. Goddess, these sheets are so soft. Theo gets in beside me, and wraps his arm around me, pulling me into his body.

"Goodnight, Darling." He whispered. "Good night, Theo. Thank you for this evening. I really enjoyed it." I say, settling in his arms. I close my eyes and sleep consumes me.
