Rowan

Wrenshiftedonmy lap, and I tightened my hold around her waist, pressing her tighter against my chest as I inhaled her delectable scent.

Blair revealed the vision she’d kept hidden about Wren until today, when Kian had the same vision. It was Wren’s fate to go inside the facility and destroy the supernatural relic with the contraption made by Norman.

Her body trembled on me, and Kian’s eyes were wide with worry as he stared at her. Nightshade perched on his shoulder, but even he knew not to say anything right now.

I watched her grow so much since her time at Fate Hollow Academy, but I still worried. She was my mate, and I would always worry.

“She’s vital for this war,” Blair murmured, her hood shadowing her face so only her glowing white eyes stood out. Her tone was sharp, room for no argument.

Even with Kian’s haunted look, he nodded in agreement.

“I’ll do it.” She pulled her face from my neck to look at them over the desk. “I’ll do anything I can to destroy that relic so we can have a chance to have peace in Kalista—of true peace.”

“Sweetheart, if you do everything we told you to do, the humans will be so low in numbers that they will not have the chance to keep going in the war, and they will surrender. The dragons will be defeated and will no longer be the enemy. The supernaturals and humans will then start a new journey toward equality.”

Nightshade nodded. ‘Your mate is right, mistress. You will be fine. The vision only has two outcomes, but if you follow what Kian and Blair have said, you will be victorious.’

“But if you do not wait until you are pointing the gun at the relic to go corporeal again once you are inside the room with the relic, the humans could win and wipe out magic.” She turned her head to me. “Rowan, if you do not carry out your fate, the dragons will win.”

“What do I need to do?”

She clamped her mouth shut and shook her head. “I cannot tell you.”

A low growl rumbled from my chest as I turned to Kian, but he shook his head. “The vision has shown that if we tell you what to do, you will fail.”

Wren shifted in my lap and pressed her palm against my cheek. “You won’t fail.”

I inhaled a deep breath and nodded, feeling a fire swirling within me.

“We will be keeping an eye on the war and everyone involved all week. I will let you know if anything changes.” Blair bowed her head before standing up, and Kian got to his feet before circling the desk and pressing a kiss to Wren’s cheek.

“I’ll see you soon, sweetheart.” He glanced at me with a frown. “Don’t overwork yourself.”

“Do you have the tincture I gave you for your headaches?”

“I do. Thank you.” He smiled, and Nightshade reached out to pat her cheek before Kian followed Blair out.

The door shut with a small click, and flames covered her clothes, burning them to nothing until she was naked in my lap.

A vicious growl tore from my throat as I flipped her around to face me, my cock straining in my pants between her legs. She was so perfect, too perfect for the state of the world.

Her desire filled my nose as she gripped my shoulders and rocked against me. “Take your pants off, Rowan. They’re in my way.” A growl rumbled in the back of her throat as her ears and tail popped out. Her tail swished back and forth to show her impatience.

A throaty chuckle bubbled from my throat as fire lit up my pants and boxers until I was bare underneath her.

“Shirt too,” she whined, running her hands down it as it lit up, the flames licking against her skin.

Her sweetness drenched the air, showing me that she loved the feel of my fire. It moved from me to her breasts, swirling around her pink nipples until they pebbled. Her pussy soaked my length, and she moved forward, her fingers moving through my curls, and my mouth clashed against hers in devouring kisses until her lips swelled.

Pheromones fell into the air, and I tensed, moaning and gripping her hips.

I impaled her down on my painfully throbbing cock, and she whooshed out a breath as her walls clenched me as tight as they always did.

Her body bowed, and her fingers gripped tighter in my hair as I thrust again, ramming myself up into her heated core. “Oh, Fates, Rowan!”

My flames danced across my skin, and pleasure filled my body as I moved her up and down. Her breasts bounced with the motion, and I watched my flames move from one breast to the other before descending my mouth to one and sucking.

She clenched and rippled around me as an orgasm blasted through her. Moaning and thrashing on top of me, she moved her hands from my hair and dug them into my shoulders.

Pheromones gripped me, and she bounced with me. I moaned, popping off her nipple and tilting my head back. “Fledgling…” I grunted, clasping her hips tighter and yanking her down on my cock hard as I shot my seed into her.

Her body sucked in every last drop of it, and she moaned my name desperately as her body relaxed and melted into me.

“Are you taking what I give you?”

Her cheeks flamed a beautiful pink as she nodded. “Always.”

My instincts purred at her answer, and I circled my arms around her, holding her close. “Once this war is over, and we have peace in Kalista, I’m going to fuck you every single day, filling you with my seed until it takes.”

Excitement and love flooded her side of the bond. “I’ve imagined being pregnant,” she murmured. “Having a child with my mate…”

My heart slammed in my chest, and a satisfied rumble filled my chest. “I cannot wait until the day you’re carrying our children.”

“Fox shifters tend to have litters of children. My mom was a wolf shifter, which was why she only had me, but plenty of fox shifters have litters. Usually, there are different fathers. Which means there’s a good possibility I could have each of your children in one go.”

My heart swelled massively. I’d never thought of having kids until this sweet shifter, and I never knew how much I truly desired seeing her as a mother until this moment.

“The fear that plagued me after Grayson had messed with my birth control potion is gone…” She hid her face in my neck.

“We will never attempt to have a child with the way the world is now, Wren. I would never want that for our offspring.” My cock throbbed inside of her. “But after the war, once everything settles, I would love nothing more.”

“I can’t wait,” she murmured before pulling back and slanting her lips over mine.

My gentle flames faded into nothing on her skin as we kissed.

Our future burned bright, but we had to make it through this war to see it.
