Thana nudged him in the ribs, drawing his attention to her frown. “I think she might be part siren or something,” Thana muttered.

“She could be a hundred percent siren, and I’d still only ever want you,” Severin assured Thana.

“We’ll go with you on one condition.” Pax’s voice cut off all conversation.

“And what is the condition?” Jenna asked, tipping her head as her long hair slid over her shoulder.

Before Pax could answer, the large space trembled beneath them. The glasses behind the bar shook, and several tumblers fell from the shelf, shattering on the stone floor.

Jenna’s face brightened. “Ah, my mates decided to visit us, two crazy males. Savage. Sorry, not sorry.”

Severin narrowed his gaze, pushing Thana behind him as Uriel flashed in front of Mari and her brother.

Chapter 18

Severin raised his palm, ready to strike whatever came at them. Two identical, large males with bright blue eyes appeared on either side of Jenna. They slid their arms around her, nuzzling their faces into her neck as if they needed to scent her, mark her, and make sure she was safe and that there was no mistake. She belonged to them.

He felt Thana shift to stand beside him, her laughter soothing his barbaric urge. “Do you know those two males?”

“That is Lucas and Damien, Jenna’s mates.”

His brows rose at the word mates, but he said nothing. Over time, many households shared a female when few were in an area, or when the Fates gave two or more males the same female, or vice versa. He thanked the Fates for not making him share Thana. He’d not lied when he said he was territorial. When he’d found Bianca, his inner beast roared MINE so damn loud that the thought she’d been anyone else’s, even his twin brother Scepter’s, hadn’t crossed his mind. When Scepter arrived, ready to battle him over Bianca, he’d left, ready to sever the bond, only for his twin to do it first. Neither of them ever thought to share her. He wondered whether a pull existed, one he and Scepter should’ve felt but ignored, or whether they weren’t meant to have such a bond. Feeling Thana’s warmth, he sent up a private thanks to the Fates for their foresight.

“Whatever you’re thinking, we’re going to discuss it, mo ghaol.” Thana tried to pull away after her low murmur, but Severin held her firmly.

“Yes,” he agreed.

Thana stiffened, then nodded. “Good.”

“So many twins. I wonder if that has anything to do with the strangeness of all of you,” Pax said, motioning to everyone around him.

“Hey, he resembles that remark,” Scepter said, pointing toward Severin.

“What the fuck do you have us embroiled in this time, Jennaveve?”

“Damien, that is so rude to assume it is I who has done anything of the sort. I am here as the savior, as always.” Jenna huffed, stepping out of their arms and toward the twins Mari and Pax.

“For the record, Enzo and Eliana are also twins, but they’re upstairs at the club handling the bars.” Savage held his female tightly in his embrace.

The large male didn’t seem the slightest bit worried that two males had popped in unannounced. Severin entwined Thana’s hands in his and stepped closer to his brother and the female he’d claimed. Not that he felt they needed his protection, much.

“You think I need protection, brother?” Scepter asked, a glimmer of something undefinable in his gaze.

Severin shrugged. “No, the view is better from here,” he lied.

“Ah, yes, of course,” Savage agreed.

“Well, as much as I enjoy this dungeon of yours, Savage, I think I should take these two away to a much more...light and airy place. They might get some twisted ideas.” Jenna winked one eye so oddly that her entire right side scrunched up comically.

“The fuck are you trying to say about my home away from home, Fey? This place is very light and airy, I’ll have you know. When Aurora and I come down to play, we get a lot of air time. Don’t we, Vita mea?”

“Absolutely. I think I need to watch more of those pole videos so I can be more proficient like those two. That was awesome to see in real life. Maybe Thana can do a couple classes for us females here at the club?” Aurora twisted on Savage’s lap, making the other male groan.

“Wait, who did pole dancing?” The other male who’d popped in asked, glaring at Jenna.

“And that is my cue to exit stage left,” Jenna whispered.

“Not so fast, my queen. Explain what the Hells they’re talking about.” Damien growled, flashing behind Jenn. The other twin flashed in front of her, his back to them as they encircled her in their embrace.
