Trace: Follow His Destiny (7 page)

He held his cock and slowly entered her like Quin had said. They all groaned together and she sighed, “Yes.”

Jaden smiled when he saw the look of bliss cross his mates’ face, he would never grow tired of seeing their pleasure. She was amazing; a gift from the Gods, Quin and he often wondered how they’d gotten so lucky to find her and each other.

When he was fully in her, she opened her eyes and snapped, “Fuck me. Hard and fast.” Quin laughed and said, “Yes, mistress.”

“That’s right,” she said and closed her eyes again and smiled.

Quin and Jaden moved slowly, driving her crazy, they both knew she would start being more demanding soon. They loved to tease her this way. But when she needed it, they would fuck her the way she wanted.

Jaden pulled out slowly and then Quin used his hips to pull out a little as Jaden thrust back into her. She held on for a few thrusts and then started yelling for them to fuck her. They laughed but obliged her and began to thrust into her fast and hard. She moaned at each movement and then screamed when she felt her passion building.

Jaden reached and flicked her clit a few times and felt her tighten on his cock.

“That’s it, baby. Milk me,” he whispered and rubbed her clit more.

Quin moaned and said, “Fuck, Jaden, I’m going to come.”

“Right with you,” he said and pressed his finger on her clit, making her scream her release. They emptied their seed into her, filling her with each thrust.

She collapsed back against Quin and panted, “Nice.” Her men laughed and Jaden said, “Glad we could help you.” She opened one eye and glared at him. “Watch it.”

Quin smiled and kissed his mate’s neck again and then groaned when he felt his phone vibrating next to him. He looked at it and frowned. “Cami, what did you do now? It’s Shane and the only reason he calls me is when you get into trouble.”

“Hey, wasn’t me. I haven’t seen him for a few hours. I’ve been in the nursery with our amazing children. Wait until I tell you what they are all doing now. I swear, if they had a Guinness Book for Shifters, they would totally be in it as the most amazing babies,” she said proudly.

Quin rolled his eyes; he felt the same way but refused to allow her to tease him about it.

Jaden grinned and whispered, “You know they’re all mine, which is why they’re so amazing.”

Cami laughed and grabbed the phone from Quin. “Shane, don’t you be telling my mates any lies about what I’ve been up to.” She stood up and began pacing back and forth.

Jaden and Quin snuggled together on the couch as they watched their mate strut naked back and forth in front of them. They raised their eyebrows when her tone changed.

“Bring him here, now, the rest of the Council is on their way, we’ll be waiting. And make sure that you don’t tell anyone else. We don’t want this coming out right before the challenge. This may play to our advantage.”

Cami turned to her mates and hung up the phone, standing gloriously naked before them. They growled when she bent to get her clothes.

“Are you gonna tell us what that was all about,” Jaden drawled. They watched her get dressed and then walk around the room and throw their clothes to them. Quin raised an eyebrow but began to get dressed.

“Yep, Shane found a Chosen and is bringing him here. I think we’re gonna shock the hell out of the Rogues. One more to go and we are finally complete,” Cami said smugly and went to the door. Before Quin and Jaden could say a word, she threw open the doors, and yelled loudly, “New Council, get your asses down here now, we are moving up the meeting!”

Quin laughed and Jaden sat there stunned. Every time she raised her voice, they were completely surprised with her ability to make people come running. Of course, none of the Council would, but the guards would take off and make sure they were notified if they hadn’t heard the bellowing of their beautiful, diminutive, and delicate mate.

Shane went back into his parent’s house and smiled. “We have an appointment like right now at the compound. Ma, could you just wrap up some food and we’ll take it with us?”

His mom smiled and walked to him. She patted him on the cheek and said, “Of course, but before you go, we need to talk for a minute. It would be better if you were both sitting down.”

Shane looked at Trace who had a fork of food half way up to his mouth pause and look at the woman. They both knew that if she requested this, they would remain. It was ingrained in both of them to show their respect. Shane nodded and went to the table.

His father was sitting there and he held up a hand to the boys before his mother had a chance to speak.

Dyami, his father said, “Willow, make this quick and painless.” His mother nodded and looked at her son first and then the man she had just met. She grinned and said, “You are mates.”

Shane jumped up and said, “What, ma, you know I’m not gay.” He turned to Trace and said quickly, “Not that being gay is a bad thing; I mean, a lot of my friends are bisexual.

I mean, personally, I don’t feel an attraction to men, uh, at all. And besides, we’re brothers, that would be incest.”

His mother made a noise of disapproval and his father spoke up again. “Son, just cause you’re mates doesn’t mean that you are bisexual. What your mom means is that you are destined to share a female together. You will be mates in the sense that you will be bonded through her.”

Trace looked around the table and sat back. “How do you know?” Willow held out her hand to him and he slowly placed his in it. She reached out for her son who did the same and then they felt it. The current running through them to each other, passing through Willow. It was like a conduit and everything seemed to click inside both of the men.

“Holy shit,” Shane whispered. “How did you do that?” His father laughed and said, “It’s an eagle thing; you needed to have a female to connect you together.”

“Eww,” Shane said and dropped his mother’s hand. She frowned and slapped him on the back of the head.

“Boy, don’t make me mad. What your father means is that only a female eagle has the correct abilities to connect you. If I were the leader of the Peck, oh wait, I am because we’re the only eagles here right now. I have the ability to connect you,” his mother said and put her hands on her hips. “Have I taught you nothing?” Shane looked at his mother sheepishly and then said, “Sorry, ma, I forgot.” Trace finally said, “So what you are saying is that Shane and I have to find our mate now, together. I mean there are no other eagles here, where are we supposed to look?”

“If I were you I would go to the New Council and see if Blaine and his mates can see her.

And it’s really okay that you didn’t remember Shane. This type of mating is rare among eagles. You should feel blessed,” Willow said and patted their hands. “Now, I will pack your lunch and you need to get moving. Cami will be hunting you down soon if you don’t hurry.” She sniffled a few more times into her handkerchief. “Oh and tell her that I have the stuff she and the other females ordered from my website.” Shane groaned and put his hands over his face. Trace looked at him and said, “What?”

“My mom sells lingerie on the side. The females on the Council discovered her website and they have gone nuts,” he said and groaned. “I refuse to deliver that message.” His mother hit him on the back of the head again and said, “Cami and Jo have been calling me for the last few days wanting to know when their stuff would arrive. They bought something for Skye; just tell them to call me,” she said with an exasperated tone.

“Ma’am, I guess I’m made of stronger stuff than Shane.” He gave his new brother a wink. “We’re going to the compound anyway, if you have the ladies things ready, I don’t mind making the delivery.”

“Thank you, Trace, wait just a moment, I’ll go get the package. They paid online so you just need to give it to them.” And she rushed out of the room.

Shane nodded and sighed. When Trace and he walked out the door, he said, “Shit, I love my mom, don’t get me wrong, but that is just weird having her sell that stuff. And you’re such a suck-up telling her you’ll bring the packages.” Trace laughed and said, “Well, yeah I get that, I just want to make sure I have an in with a woman that cooks that good.” And Shane laughed again. “So, mates?” Shane looked at the tall man and said, “Sounds like it, at least we met before we found our female. We can get a few things straight before she comes. I mean, eagle women are really strong willed. I think we are gonna have to be set before we find her in order to be able to handle her. If she is anything like the other women on the Council, we are totally in trouble. Between you and me though, I say brothers sharing a woman, it’s less weirded out that way, to me at least, don’t tell mom.” Trace smiled and said, “Bring it on. I think that’s why we have two male mates in this triad, to help keep her in line. We both know what eagle females are like, but we have the upper hand, there are two of us, and there is one thing I know for sure. She may be bigger than either of us, but we’re a team; she’ll have to come to terms with that.” Shane laughed and said, “I agree. I just hope she will too.”

Bama arrived for her appointment and was being given a tour. She gave herself a smile when she noticed her previous night’s handiwork had not been discovered. In her Harpy form she could fly while carrying up to fifty pounds though that was only for short distances, thirty was more manageable, so she’d brought some listening devices in, too bad about the cameras, judiciously placed them in various offices and what looked like meeting rooms, hopefully she’d find out exactly what was causing her eagle to be so nervous. Her mother would approve of how she handled this. She had already decided that she would politely listen to Braden, then plead a headache, and ask to be excused until the morning. She would call her mother and explain her misgivings and why she thought something was not quite right with this set up. So far, she had kept her eyes and ears open, and not one of the people she had been introduced to, worked for, or talked about the Chosen.

She got up early for her hair and nails appointment, and missed another call from her mother. Then she was running late and forgot to take her cell. Nojoda! She was always doing that. Maybe she should get one of those ear things. Only she’d probably forget she was wearing it and shift. Poof, no phone! No, wait a minute, she did have her cell, yes, here it was. She put it in her purse last night! Finally, I remembered, mama will be so happy.

She had assumed that at least a few of the workers here would be directly involved with the New Council and the Chosen. But what she saw was a shell of a company, and it seemed like they were putting on a show for her.

She had arrived at the building and taken the tour of the facility. The wolf who accompanied her explained that after her tour of the building she would be shown to Braden’s office. He would tell her where she would have her offices for working with the New Council. She had sensed the wolf was lying to her but she was unable to tell lies from truth, she would think over everything she heard later, right now she was trying to act like a spoiled debutante, as if the reason she got the ambassadorship was nepotism and not an appointment for skills.

Bama asked questions about Quin and Jaden and the she-wolf seemed to gloss over her answers and show her another empty conference room. Then they walked into a room where people actually appeared to be working or meeting. She had been very impressed at first, until she saw a whiteboard at the far end of the room. It had outlined some kind of plan for tomorrow. From her position near the door, she could read it quite clearly with her eagle sight. She was shocked and must have looked too long or too intently as she’d been quickly hustled out and into the elevator.

All of a sudden, she became uneasy; the wolf had pulled out a phone and typed in a message then smiled a creepy smile at her, and then finally brought her to Braden’s office.

Braden stood before her and was explaining that she would be meeting the Alphas soon.

Bama’s eagle was hyper again and not getting a good feeling from the man and so she sat in silence.

“We have a meeting in the morning tomorrow with the New Council, and I will set your appointment then. Until then, Roarke will be your immediate boss. He will be here shortly. I am so happy to have you here, with your family’s support we’ll be a fearsome Pack,” he said and she imagined him rubbing his hands together greedily, and did not care for the word ‘fearsome’ in his description; leaders should not be feared. She did not like the impression he gave; something seemed a little off about his attitude. He seemed excited, not calm or commanding, his actions did not seem like the controlled power of a Beta wolf.

“Pardon me, Señor Braden, I must interrupt, you say Señor Roarke will be my boss?

What does this mean? Boss? I thought my presence was to be appointed as the South American liaison to the New Council,” Bama said slowly.

“Oh, of course, that will be your job. However, until things are set up, you will be answering to Roarke. We have a lot of things to work out, beginning tomorrow. Now when will your mother be sending more eagles?” Braden said.

“I think we have what you would call a communication issue. I am here, this is all my mother is sending. I don’t think we set up a consulate, I need no staff. What more could you possibly need to be a liaison? If I need a secretary or an assistant, I could hire one locally, could I not?” she asked smoothly.

Braden frowned and turned around and faced her. She didn’t like the wild look in the man’s eye. “Wait, what? Your mother said she would support me, I mean the New Council in its future endeavors. I can’t possibly guarantee that your interests will be secure unless we have eagles under my command.”

Bama stood up and was about ready to tell the man where he could take his endeavor when the door opened and a tall, too smooth looking man came in.

“Master,” the man said and Bama’s eyes widened. Why would this wolf call Braden Master? He was only the Beta of the Old Council, he was no leader.

“Roarke, this is Blanca Arjelia Matilde Aguilar, our new member and representative from the South. I was just explaining to her that she will be falling under you,” Braden said a little too loudly.
