PHOENIX

I spent the rest of the trying and failing to work out how to find Selma. I couldn't give up on her, not when she was so woven into my family's past. It was nightfall when I realised that perhaps Aunt Leah was right. This was too important to be chasing false leads.

She was a ghost, leaving plenty of trails but never to be found.

You couldn't chase smoke trails once they faded.

Nova stirred in my arms, a distinct sign she was waking up. My arm was curled around her stomach, and I tightened it when she rolled over to press her face into my chest. My wolf rumbled with soft approval and she laughed softly.

"Good morning."

She turned her weary head, blinking those green eyes up at me with a soft smile. My chest swelled with glee, the bond humming gently between us. Her stomach rippled, baby number three alerting us they were awake. I grinned, craning my head to kiss the top of Nova's nose.

"What a great way to wake up."

"Are the twins still asleep?"

"Sure are." I mused.

She hummed, pressing her nose back into my bare chest. Her hands moved, trailing up my stomach before curling around my ribcage. I sucked in a sharp breath as she lightly dragged her nails into my back, tugging herself closer to me. When I felt the gentle caress of her lips against my sternum, I couldn't help but groan.

"Keep that up and you won't be getting out of bed yet."

Her laugh was soft, filling my ears with sweet joy. "What if that is my plan?"

The growl that left me this time was as animalistic as the beast inside of me.

Within moments, I hovered over her, my mouth devouring her. Her small hands grabbed and tugged, pulling me closer as I continued to worship her body with my tongue. Soft moans of delight escaped her lips that had me panting for more.

Morning moments together always lasted longer, and I savoured every taste and feeling of her as our bodies united. In the heat of it all, I wasn't sure where I began and ended, too lost to the lustful embrace of my mate. My name from her lips was a sweet seduction, the soft, panted moans a terrible temptation.

I couldn't help but sink my teeth into her throat as I finished, the bond burning brighter between us as we came down from the high. She was a sweaty, panting mess as I slipped from inside of her, her body depleted from the pride of making her come undone more than twice. She slapped my bicep softly, her hand flopping back onto her stomach.

"What a morning." She murmured.

I chuckled softly, rising from the bed to retrieve her something. I would do that again and again, every day, if I could.

She groaned as I came back with a cloth and quickly wiped away the remnants of our coupling. I then decided to just run her a bath, and leisurely entered the en-suite to fill her a warm tub full of bubbles.

The twins stirred in the next room and I took my hand from the bath, happy with how bubbly it had become. Entering the bedroom once more, I found Nova still sprawled across the bed, ass and bump sticking out. I couldn't help but laugh as I scooped her into my arms, ignoring her soft complaints.

"Where are you taking me?" She tutted. "I am naked."

I didn't answer, kissing her forehead as I once again entered the bathroom. Her eyes widened with delight before softening with thanks, and I carefully lowered her into the tub. She was a trip and fall hazard when pregnant, and if she let me carry her around everywhere, I would.
