Author Note:

This was a long chapter. I won't go into detail every time with each mate. I just did it with this chapter as a refresher because some details could have been forgotten.

It will be just a reference that they talked about from the POV of her new mates.

Gabriel POV

From my perspective, the world outside our little sanctuary seemed to pause as we lingered in the tub, wrapped up in each other's warmth and love.

Imara allowed me the intimate privilege of caressing and kissing her mate mark, a gesture that filled me with a profound sense of belonging and joy.

As I reveled in this closeness, laying contentedly against her, our moment of tranquility was gently interrupted.

Harvey entered with a purpose, ready to fulfill his promise to Imara by washing her hair—a task she had specifically reserved for him.

His presence wasn't an intrusion but an extension of the intimate circle we shared.

He instructed me to observe closely, emphasizing the importance of learning the proper care for her hair.

Eager to absorb every detail, I watched intently, committed to mastering this act of tenderness.

As Imara leaned back, entrusting Harvey with this task, I shifted my position to the end of the tub, where her feet rested gently in the water.

Taking this opportunity to extend my care, I began to wash her feet, legs, and thighs, each motion a testament to my desire to cherish and serve her.

It was then that Harvey initiated a conversation, his voice breaking the silence with a calm yet significant tone.

"So, let's talk," he said, capturing our immediate attention.

Both Imara and I tuned in, ready to share and listen, understanding that moments like these were not just about physical care but also about deepening our emotional and spiritual connections through open communication and shared secrets.

Harvey's introduction to the conversation laid the groundwork for a topic of significant weight and implications for our future together.

"You're already aware that Imara comes from a different world, with its own customs regarding mating. But let's delve deeper into our plans and her intentions," he suggested, signaling the shift to a more serious discussion.

The revelation that followed caught me off guard. Imara was utilizing a substance from her world to control birth. My surprise must have been evident, for Harvey didn't wait for my questions.

He explained, "The substance she's taking is a form of birth control, preventing pregnancy."

Turning towards Imara, I saw a flicker of nervousness in her expression. Wanting to ease her concern, I gently rubbed her ankle, assuring her, "Don't be nervous. I'm just taken aback, that's all."

It was crucial to me that she understood my reaction was one of surprise, not judgment.

Curious about her desires, I ventured, "Do you not want cubs?" It was a delicate question, touching on our future and shared aspirations. She adjusted her position slightly, allowing Harvey to continue detangling her hair, a task he performed with gentle precision.

Her response, "Not right now," was simple yet laden with unspoken thoughts and feelings.

Her words opened a gateway to a deeper understanding of her perspective and priorities, inviting a dialogue about our collective future and the potential addition of cubs to our unique family.
