CHAPTER SIXTEEN

CODY

Age 21

Early fall in the shifter/Elven forest

Raspberries and cream.

Cody struggled awake, the sweet scent filling his nostrils. Something was tickling at his nose with every breath he took. He opened his eyes. The dim morning light trickled through the leaves, leaving a pebbled pattern on the forest floor. Warmth pressed against his front and back. As the fuzziness from sleep faded away, he couldn’t help his lips pulling up into a wide grin. Bethany was asleep in his arms, her golden hair tickling his nose. He didn’t have to move his head to know Zack was the heat pressed against his back.

It was so quiet.

Not just the forest in the early morning, but his wolf slept soundly in his chest. His wolf had never been this quiet, even when sleeping. His brow furrowed, and he checked in with the sleepy animal. Contentment radiated off his wolf, deep in his magical center. He had never felt him this quiet and content before. If he wasn’t feeling his wolf snoozing in his chest, it would feel like he was missing from under his skin. It was an odd sensation but a welcome one, and it was all due to the two people sleeping on either side of him.

Movement beyond his feet caught his attention. Mylo was stoking the fire in the early morning. He gave Cody a nod when he saw he was awake. He wasn’t sure what to make of the quiet hybrid. For more than a few moments yesterday, Cody had thoughts that because Mylo was half-panther, Bethany would immediately recognize they were mates and her mom would accept him because even if he was a hybrid, he was a cat, and he smelled powerful.

But then Mylo had outed them all as mates, and Bethany’s reaction and explanation had given Cody hope. She was overwhelmed and in shock, but she hadn’t said she didn’t want them. Just that her mom and the pride made her think she couldn’t have them. He was under no delusion that everything would be automatically fine this morning, but maybe she wanted them as much as they did. He knew she wanted them physically, but the question of whether she believed they could come out to the Realm as mates was a different story.

Bethany shifted in his arms, and his chest rumbled with a purr. Her green eyes slowly blinked awake. The second she registered where she was, her body stiffened. He could let her push them away, or he could show her how good it could be if they were mates. Decision made, he brushed a kiss on her forehead. Her eyes fluttered closed for a second, and he used that opportunity to push up to a crouched position and roll her gently into Zack’s arms.

Zack sleepily opened his eyes and then pulled Bethany closer. He closed them again and buried his face in her hair. Bethany furrowed her brow, and Cody brushed his fingers across the crease, marveling at the feel of her skin under his fingertips.
