•••••••••••••••••••• SEVERIN'S POV •••••••••••••••••••••

I have never felt more at peace and complete as I do right now with Skyler laying in my arms, body slicked with sweat as he attempts to catch his breath. I can feel the body linking my soul to his, but I can also feel a separate bond, one to my brother, that has never been there before.

The bond with my brother is purely love, nothing more as I have no sexual desires towards him. I do however feel a great need, almost as great as I feel towards Skyler, to protect him and be near him.

I'm my arms Skyler starts to move, and I pull his small body closer to me, and bury my nose into his tousled hair. His scent is almost enough to cause my inner beast to surface again, until he groans slightly in discomfort as he attempts to sit up.

Feeling a pull at my heart, a feeling I have never experienced before, I quickly sit up before helping Skyler to sit as well. Once settled I wrap my arm around his shoulders to steady him, them look into his face, trying to find any trace of regret.

"Stop looking at me like that, I'm perfectly fine Rinny, I could never regret completed my bond with my other mate." Skyler says as he leans into my chest, and reaching a hand up to cup my cheek. "There is a reason why I was blessed so incredibly enough to have two such perfects mates as Kin and you."

I look take a moment to look deep into his aura, and am relieved when I see only truth coloring it in gorgeous shades yellows and oranges. All I can think to do when the words leave his still kiss swollen lips, is to kiss him yet again. This time a gentle sweep of my lips across his abused lips.

When the desire to deepen the kiss runs through me, I pull away and lean my forehead against his, and just breath in his scent. His original scent is now mixed and blended with Kin's and my own, creating a cocktail of scents. The blend perfectly stating to any within smelling distance that Skyler is already mated.

I inhale deeply one more time, filling my memory with his new scent before pulling away and standing to my feet. Once up I pull my leather pants up over my legs an settle them on my hips. My boots are the next and last item I put on. Reaching down I pull Skyler, who has been sitting and watching me dress, to his feet. When I'm sure he can stab on his own I pull my jacket over his shoulders, and pull it tightly closed. I would put Kin's shirt back on him, but I now notice that I tore it apart in my hurry to get to his body.

Skyler steps forward one step, and winces at the pain. A wave of guilt floods me knowing that I caused that pain. I reach down and scoop him into my arms, and start off towards the scent of my brother.

•••••••••••••••• KIN'S POV ••••••••••••••

The entire time Skyler was in the meadow, bonding with Severin, I have been keeping watch over them. Their bonding is far to important to risk interruption. I know the moment that their bond is completed because I suddenly feel a bond to Severin. I expected to feel a spark of jealously run through me knowing my mate was in the arms of another, but instead all I felt was overwhelming joy and peace, stained deeply with love. The same things I felt when I, myself bonded with Skyler.

Not to long after these feelings of completeness wash over me I catch their scent on the gentle breeze, and know that they are coming towards me. I look up just as Severin steps into view, with Skyker laying bridal style in his arms with a extremely displeased look on his face. "Don't you just look adorable." I state while attempting to hide the smile threatening to cover my face.
