Sweet Tease

Chapter Thirty-Seven

{Octavia's Point of View}

I sat up with a loud gasp, pulling the needles and fluids out of my arms, looking around like I had no idea where I was. I could feel the fear filling my body and I couldn't remember what had happened. I felt hands on my body and let out a soft sigh.

"Octavia, please calm down. You're scaring Josephine."

"Daddy, settle down. We're right here."

I let out a loud sigh, looking to my mates. I smiled warmly at Janessa on my left, and grabbed her hand to squeeze it gently. I then looked over to Winifred, sitting on the side of the bed, holding our daughter to her breast, feeding her.

"Josephine?"

I tilted my head, a smile playing at my lips. I smiled warmly when she nodded, moving her own hair off the face of our daughter.

"Josephine Aurelia Montgomery." She looked up at me, almost asking for permission to use my last name, which belonged to them now. "Our daughter."

I groaned and sat up, tugging Janessa close to my side, and trying to move my hand to reach for Winifred.

"Our daughter. I love the sound of that."

I chuckled softly, wincing hard. Fuck, I guess my lung was still sore from being collapsed. I rested my hand on Janessa's ass as she snuggled into my side, purring against my neck. She rested her hand on my chest, which elicited a wince from me, but when she went to move, I moved her back to where she had been. Just because I was hurting didn't mean I wanted her to move.

"I know how to get the mate bond back, Winifred."

I looked over to her, her hand reached out to hold my own hand gently, as if she was afraid of hurting me.

"When you're healed, we'll do whatever it is. You have to get better, for not only us, but our daughter too. Janessa and I wish to raise her with you."

I chuckled, wincing softly.

"Well, I don't plan on leaving you any time soon, so you're stuck with me."

I was going to say something else, but Josephine broke from Winifred's breast and started crying, reaching for me. She chuckled softly and wiped her little chin, moving from the bed to sit next to me, moving Josephine to her other arm, so that the small child could reach her hand out to touch my face.

"Hi, baby girl. Remember me? I'm your daddy. Did your mamas take good care of you while I was sleeping?"

Janessa moved her hand from my chest to Josephine's belly to tickle her softly, cooing. Josephine kept slapping my face, playing. I chuckled, moving to blow raspberries on her hand as she kept slapping.  Winifred looked at us lovingly.  We were one happy family in that moment, and I wouldn't trade it for the world.  The door to the pack hospital flung open and Joseph came in, scowling at me.  

"I thought I told you not to try to die, Via."

I winced at how harsh he was scolding me.  I just grinned at him as he walked back over to me, to replace the needles and fluids I had been attached to.  My mates had moved themselves away just far enough to give him space to mess with my arms.  When he finished, I looked up at him.

"Joseph, have you looked over the little one?"

He stood back, nodding.

"As far as I can tell, she's as healthy as she can be.  She doesn't show any signs of being like you, though."

I sighed, not realizing that I had been holding my breath.  It wasn't that I wouldn't love her if she was like me, I just didn't want her to be bullied.  I nodded, motioning for him to continue.

"Because she does have wolf blood in her, it's possible that she'll change into a wolf when she comes of age, but from what I've seen, her Succubus blood is stronger, so she may not change at all.  According to her genetic make-up, she gets more of her genetics from Winifred, so I don't think we'll have to worry about anything except everyone falling in love with everyone."

We all shared a laugh, while Winifred blushed very hard.  I managed to pull both of my wives against me and gave them both a soft kiss.  I couldn't be very rough with them yet, but when I was healed, they were in for it.  I looked back to Joseph.

"I met with the Moon Goddess while I was... Gone.  She told me how to fix the mate bond with Winifred."

Joseph nodded, scribbling in his folder that held all my stats in in.  I sighed softly, moving to lean my head against Winifred, while Janessa leaned her head against my chest and neck.

"I thought it would be more difficult, but she told me that she rewards the worthy."

I looked back to Joseph.

"Any clue what that means, doc?"

I chuckled as he shrugged, his eyes darting to me when Josephine started to reach for me again.  I chuckled softly and moved my hands from my wives to our daughter and held her, my wives playing with her belly and her tiny bit of hair fuzz on the top of her head.  I moved my head down to rub my nose against hers.

"You're gonna be a daddy's girl, aren't cha?"

I teased her, moving my own hand to interlock with Janessa's fingers and rub her belly.  

My family was beautiful and I loved them more than anything in this world and the next.

{Whoo!  This might seem like the end, but it's not!  There will be more!  Janessa still has to have a baby!  And is Winifred going to be Queen of the Succubi or not?!  We'll find out soon!  The woman at the top is what little Josephine will look like when she's older!  Purty, ain't she?!

Much love~!
