Shocked didn't even begin to describe Naomi's reaction as I caught her up on everything that had happened, including how and why I killed Vincenzo and Alaric, to the fact that I was about to bond with a vampire and mate with two werewolves. Even though everything was through a video call, the screen did nothing to conceal any of her horror, her awe, and her smirk.

"Listen," she said, leaning closer to her phone like that would give us more privacy. "I said fuck them, not marry them."

I was in my bedroom, lying down in my bed, my phone held above me. Kieran, Lucian, and Kyler were all sitting outside doing Lord knows what. I wasn't one to get in the way of their fiery bromance. Bromance away, my men. Bromance away.

"I could blame you for this," I said, grinning. "Oh, Nova, you need to branch out. Here's a list of three men. Now don't fall in love, even though they're surprisingly great people. Please."

She snorted. "Are you at least happy?"

"Oddly enough," I shrugged, "I am. Even with everything that happened along the way. My mom's still alive, whatever threat that was hanging over me is gone, and now I can just be here. With them."

She smiled. I knew she wouldn't have judged me for any of it. She was my best friend and someone I could go to if I ever did murder someone else and needed help burying the body. More likely than not, she'd look at me, look at the dead body, nod, and get to work.

I'd do the same for her any time she needed it. All of her secrets, her regrets, everything she had ever confessed to me was locked right in the back of my mind. I'd take everything she ever told me to the grave.

If I ever saw one.

I hadn't told her that part - where we'd all likely become "immortal". I'd tell her one day. But I already overloaded her. She didn't need that on top of it. Not yet.

"Which one are you doing it with first," she asked like we were talking about conspiracies, her voice low and hushed. "Or do you have to do it all together?"

"Lucian and Kyler have to be together." I watched her eyes twinkle. "But Kieran is first."

She grunted and fell back on her bed, holding her phone in much the same way I did. "Sorry, but I need those details so I can decide whether I want a vampire or a wereanimal lover."

I laughed.

When my door opened, I promptly dropped my phone onto my face, cringing at the shot of pain that radiated from my nose. I rolled onto my side, rubbing the ache with one hand as the other grabbed my phone where Naomi was laughing like a mad woman.

I glared at her. "Shut your mouth."

"Your face," she wheezed, wiping away a tear. "Your face before it fell!"

I smiled despite myself, and only because she wasn't looking at me. When her eyes found me again, I wiped the smile off and scowled at her.

I looked at the intruder who so kindly scared me into dropping my phone onto my face. Kieran stood there leaning against the door frame, his arms crossed over his chest and one foot resting over the other. A small smile played on his lips, and I knew it wasn't from mine and Naomi's interaction. I distinctly remember hearing a quiet laugh under Naomi's boisterous ones.

"I have to let you go," I said, turning back to a still-chuckling Naomi.

"Fuck their brains out," she sang, then hung up before I could react one way or the other.

I pressed my face into my pillows, hiding the rising heat in my cheeks. Of course she would say that when one of them could hear.

"Fuck our brains out," Kieran asked, his voice much closer than I expected. When I turned my face, he was standing by the bed, his eyes twinkling in amusement. He reached down and plucked the phone from me, setting it on the nightstand.

I shrugged. I couldn't control what Naomi said. Her and Kenna would probably be pretty good friends, though Naomi definitely had more couth than Kenna did. If Naomi would have known the reason why I dropped my phone was because Kieran was there, I doubted she would have said it.

Though...some of the things she said to Lucian previously may state otherwise.

Nerves curled in my stomach, realizing he wasn't just in my room to tease me. I wasn't afraid, per say. Well, not for Kieran's bonding. I was somewhat afraid of mating with Kyler and Lucian, if only for the pain their bites would bring. My mind kept going back to the way Lucian's hand looked when he stopped himself from biting me. It took too long for that wound to heal.

Kieran's hand slid down my back, then over the mound of my ass before he squeezed it gently, smirking when he saw the red tint rise in my cheeks.

"So gorgeous," he whispered.

I shivered at his voice and the way his hand gently kneaded the flesh of my ass. When he got on the bed, I watched as he scanned me, obvious appreciation in his eyes.

His hand slid back up and he began massaging the muscles in my lower back, easing the tensed muscles. His hands worked against me, rough, but not enough to hurt.

"The blood isn't causing such a big reaction now," he said, bringing his other hand up to massage my upper back.

He was right. The wave I usually felt didn't last nearly as long as it had before, and only left small tingles across my body. But every single touch of his hands on my body brought that wave back. I was almost freaking purring as he massaged my muscles.

"Take your clothes off." Kieran's voice was husky, and when I glanced back at him, his eyes were dark. They moved and met mine, waiting.

I sat up and took off my shirt, then my bra. His eyes fell to my breasts unabashedly, and he licked his lips like he was ready to taste me right there.

I laid down on my back and slid my shorts off, and he let out a quiet groan when he realized I hadn't been wearing panties.

That look, mixed with that noise, would make any woman feel like they were the most beautiful being in the world.

"When I bite you," he shrugged off his shirt, his eyes never leaving my body as he drank me in, "and mark you as mine, I want your fangs in me. But until then, I want my name whimpered from those lips."

I let out a shuddering breath, those nerves from earlier morphing into pure lust as he reached for me.
