Eden in our lives, she was committed to trying to stop doing it altogether. Even more so since I apparently shared her ability now, but seemed to have complete control.

We were then all quiet for a few minutes, all of us pensive, as the elephant in the room still lingered.

I finally spoke up. “Look, I’ll be completely honest. I’m okay if you guys want to kick her out. Obviously, she might not help us with our other problems, even if I pay her for her time, but I’m okay if that’s what you two want to do. And, if you want to add her to the family, in the same way Heidi and Lexi now are, then I’m not going to automatically jump into bed with her either. I mean, we’ve barely known her for a week, whereas I’ve at least known Heidi and Lexi for nearly a year. I’m not even sure if I want to start a relationship with her. Obviously, she is hot, but that’s about all I know about her so far.”

Granted, I had learned a lot about her in the last week, especially in the last day, but overall what I said was still true.

Freya nodded. “And actually, Sam, that does bring up an important point. Obviously, it seems like Winter wants a family, as well as an alpha, but that’s not the same thing as her wanting to climb into bed with you. Just like you feel like you barely know her, she might feel the same way.” She paused. “Winter wanting a leader and a protector isn’t the same thing as wanting a mate – even if she anticipates being one of your women eventually.”

“Of course,” I agreed. “And, honestly, she’s been pretty adamant about me keeping my eyes to myself, so I’d actually be really surprised if she suddenly wanted to advance our relationship straight to the bedroom.”

Freya nodded, only to glance at Lily, who then sighed heavily, rolling her orange eyes. “I mean, like I said. Is there really anything to even talk about? Is anyone really going to say no? She freaking solved a big problem for us – something that even the CDS couldn’t do with all the resources they have at their disposal.”

“Well…” I hesitated. “Technically, we should probably consider the fact that there are two others who need to be involved in this decision.”

They both looked at me in surprise, knowing exactly what I meant.

Freya nodded. “Of course. We’ll talk to them about it. But no point, if Lily isn’t going to be alright with it.”

“So you want this?” Lily wondered.

“Do you?” Freya replied.

Lily took another deep breath, and let it out slowly. “Yeah. I guess. What’s one more? If that’s what Winter really wants, then let’s do it. Let’s let her be a part of our family. Or, our pride, if she wants to call it that. But after that, no more. We don’t have the room, and honestly there’s no way Sam is going to be able to give us the attention we need if there are more than five of us.”

She wasn’t wrong about that. I was already wondering how I was going to make time for just the four of them. Not to mention, I still wanted to spend time with my kids too! Eden took the whole ‘Enjoy them now, because they’ll never be this age again’ to a whole new level. Two weeks old, and she was already technically about six months. Although, I pretty much took care of her every night, with her sleeping and eating schedule being almost nonstop back and forth, so that helped.

But there was Rose to consider too. I didn’t want her to grow up with a dad that spent almost no time with her.

Freya nodded in agreement to Lily’s comment, with the two of them both looking at me for the final decision about adding Winter, since Lily just said yes.

I smirked awkwardly. “I mean, I don’t object.”

Lily rolled her eyes. “Of course you don’t. What sane guy would?”

“Good point,” I agreed, only to reach out and grab her when she rolled her orange eyes again. Tugging her into my lap, I planted a heavy kiss on her lips, prompting her to run her fingers through my hair, beginning to breathe heavily through her nose as the kiss prolonged.

Freya then leaned over and kissed both of us on the temple in turn, before she climbed out of bed. We both looked at her in confusion.

“I’ll go take care of the baby, since it’s late, and I’m sure Heidi wants to go to bed.” She paused. “And, while I’m upstairs, I’ll probably go ahead and mention the idea to them so they can start thinking about it. But in the meantime, I’ll leave you two in here alone for a little while, so you can spend some time together.” She then winked at me and walked out of the room, closing the door softly behind her.

I turned my head back toward Lily, just in time for her lips to meet mine again while my hand began searching in between her thighs. She gasped briefly before kissing me harder, her fingers gripping my hair as she pulled my lips firmly against hers.

About thirty minutes later, we were curled up together in bed, with me holding her as she slowly began drifting to sleep with a peaceful smile touching her lips. After she was out, I went to go check on Freya, who was holding a happy sleeping baby in the kitchen.

I kissed her for a couple of seconds on the lips and then sat in the chair beside her just to be near for a bit before she went to bed as well. It wasn’t until it was obvious she was really sleepy that I realized something else was up.

Freya sighed. “I want to be the one to tell her,” she admitted.

“Oh. Then Heidi and Lexi were okay with it?”

She nodded. “They were both pretty much like
