Liam Toni Griffin (top 5 ebook reader TXT) 📖

Liam held back his surprise when Ben obeyed him immediately. The tall, macho Alpha seemed to crumble when he took in the extent of his young mate's injuries. Ben picked Tommy up in his arms with more care than Liam had ever seen the Alpha use.

Liam did the same with Declan and the pair was soon on their way back through the trees. Ben didn't say anything the entire walk, too busy paying attention to the man he held in his arms, not that Liam blamed him.

When they exited the tree line, Liam opened the passenger door and settled Declan in, strapping him in place with the seatbelt. Liam then opened the back door so Ben could lay Tommy down before he headed to the rear of the SUV. Opening up the back, he pulled out the bag Ben always kept with spare garments of all sizes. Shifters never knew when they would be in need of more clothes.

He threw Ben a pair of jeans and a shirt.

Unfortunately there were no spare shoes in the car. Theirs were back in the forest somewhere and Liam didn't plan to go looking for them. Liam pulled on a pair of sweats and a shirt before he threw the bag in the back and closed the door. Ben climbed awkwardly into the backseat so he could be with his mate. The man stood six foot six and was not really built for backseats.

Liam got in the driver's side and after checking on his mate headed the car in the direction of home.

The drive home went as quietly as the walk back to the car. About fifteen minutes from Atherton, Liam decided he better broach a subject he really didn't want to.

He cleared his throat. "Ben?"

Ben grunted.

Figuring that would be the best he'd get, he continued, "You realise Tommy won't be going home with you? Right?"

"Excuse me?"

The low rumbling growl from his Alpha had Liam's hairs standing up all over his body. Liam had to grit his teeth not to bend his head and expose his neck.

"Ben, he's young. Ten years younger than Declan.

And he's just been abused. The last thing he needs is to wake up in a strange house with a strange man. He needs his brother. Please understand." Liam hoped he could get his Alpha to see reason. He hated having to be the one to keep his Alpha from taking his mate home, but he honestly thought it for the best.

Ben snorted and went back to caressing Tommy's face. Liam knew Declan would have a fit if Tommy went home with Ben at the moment. He had no idea how his lover would deal with the situation but he thought it best for all involved if Tommy came home with them to begin with.

Liam handed Ben his phone from the centre

console. "You might want to call Dr Carter and have him meet us at my place."

"Shit," Ben muttered before placing the call. "He'll meet us there in ten," Ben said as he ended the conversation.

Liam nodded and quickly looked at his mate again.

If not for the blood soaked shirt, one could think he slept peacefully. Waking up this morning, Liam had no idea of the shit fest this day would turn out to be. He was glad his friend and Alpha had finally met his mate, even if they did have a long road ahead of them.

EPILOGUE

Two Months Later

"Mmmm." Declan moaned and pressed back against the hard shaft currently trying to pierce his body. His eyes fluttered open and he twisted his head to the side.

"Morning, love." He met Liam's mouth in a lazy kiss.

"Morning yourself," Liam whispered and his shaft broke through Declan's guardian muscle.

Liam took it slow, no need to rush. Saturday morning dawned and neither of them needed to be anywhere.

Declan pushed back when Liam withdrew his huge cock and slowly rocked forward once again. Liam's hand reached around and gripped Declan's aching length.

He started a maddening pace that matched his thrusts. Declan relaxed against Liam's chest and let his mate have his way with him. His body sung as desire built and his balls drew tight against his body.

Declan panted, his hand gripped Liam's hip behind him as his mate continued to rock into him. Liam squeezed his first tight and bit deep into the side of his neck and Declan flew over the edge, tumbling freely, as he gave his body over to the ministrations of his mate. Pearly white cum shot from his cock, covering his stomach and Liam's hand. His mate thrust hard two more time before going still, his low groan muffled by Declan's neck as his cock twitched deep within the confines of Declan's body.

They lay together, relaxing in each other's arms until their bodies released them from their knotted embrace.

Declan whimpered when Liam's softened cock slipped from his body, but he rolled over and kissed his mate properly.

"Good morning."

"Morning, love. Shower?" Liam asked.

Hmm. His mate, naked and wet? He couldn't think of anything better.

Declan lay in bed for a little while so Liam could get the shower started. His thoughts, as they inevitably did, went to his brother. Tommy had finally woken up the day after they had brought him back to Atherton and cried while Declan held him close. In broken sobs Tommy recounted what he remembered of his ordeal. Declan's heart ached for his brother. He hated his former Alpha for destroying Tommy's youthful exuberance.

His brother had changed. He spent the majority of his days alone, quiet and withdrawn. He jumped at shadows and constantly woke throughout the night, screaming from nightmares. Declan would do anything he could to help Tommy deal with what had happened.

Tommy wasn't ready to mate Ben yet. Once Tommy stopped being so afraid Declan hoped things would change.

He still lived with Declan and Liam. Ben understood and willingly gave Tommy all the time he needed. Thank God.

It didn't stop the man from coming
