“Ryker,” I say, my voice steady as I meet his gaze, “your determination has always inspired me. You lead with your heart and your unwavering dedication to our cause. It’s something I love and deeply respect. It’s why I’ve fallen in love with you.”
The air almost leaves the room as the other men think they have lost. They haven’t given me a chance to continue on yet, so while Ryker’s lips have curved into a smile, doesn’t mean I can return the expression. Not quite yet anyway.
“Maddox,” I continue, turning my attention to him, “your artistic temperament brings a different kind of light to my life. I have loved talking to you, andfeelingyou as well.” It’s unnerving to say this because I’m not sure how much Ryker knows, but he stays steely silent. “Which is why I have fallen in love with you as well.”
A hint of surprise crosses Maddox’s features, replaced by a genuine grin that speaks volumes.
“Colt,” I say, addressing the fiery spirit within him, “your passion and fire really excites me. I can’t stop thinking about you, and how you unleash a newness in me as well. I love you also.”
Colt’s expression softens, a mixture of appreciation and understanding in his eyes.
“Novak,” I conclude, meeting his gaze, “your sensitivity is a gift that often goes unspoken. Your empathy and understanding make you the one person I turn to when times are tough. Of course it wouldn’t be love if it didn’t include you as well.”
Novak’s gaze meets mine with an intensity that speaks volumes, a recognition of the sentiments shared. He nods just the once, letting me know that he gets it.
“And to all of you,” I say, my voice growing softer as I address the room, “I want you to know that I don’t want to choose. I don’t want to single anyone out. I want to be with all of you, because every one of you brings something unique and valuable to my life.”
Silence hangs in the air, the weight of my confession lingering. The room is still as my words settle among us, and I wait with bated breath to hear their answers, to gauge their reactions to the raw emotions I’ve laid bare.
Ryker’s smile widens, an unspoken understanding between us. Maddox’s eyes are wide with surprise, Colt’s gaze reflects a mixture of pride and a hint of bashfulness, and Novak’s expression holds a depth of emotion that’s difficult to put into words.
In this moment of vulnerability and shared truth, I’m reminded that love can take many forms, that connections are built on understanding, appreciation, and the courage to expose our most genuine selves. As the room stirs with reactions, I’m fortified by the knowledge that no matter the response, the bonds we share are unbreakable, and the path we’ve chosen is one paved with unity, acceptance, and love.
Ryker speaks first, his voice carrying a calm confidence that instantly puts me at ease. “I’m not surprised,” he says, his eyes fixed on mine, his tone steady. “I sensed it from the start.”
His words catch me off guard, and I find myself searching his gaze for any signs of negativity or discomfort. But all I find is acceptance, a deep understanding that transcends the boundaries of our connection.
“I smelled their scent on you that day,” he continues, his gaze unflinching. “Maddox and Novak. And it never bothered me. You’re your own person, with your own desires. What matters to me is that it’s my bed you’ll return to, my arms you’ll seek when the day is done.”
His words wash over me like a soothing balm, a reminder of the strength and depth of our bond. Ryker’s confidence in our connection, in his place in my life, is unshakable. He’s always been attuned to the complexities of my heart, and I find a sense of liberation in his acceptance.
“I felt the soul bond early with you,” he says, his voice low, carrying an intimacy only we can share. “And I’m not going to hold you back from whatever you want, from whatever brings you happiness.”
A warmth spreads through me, a profound sense of gratitude for the man standing before me, for his open heart and his willingness to stand by my side through every twist and turn. Even this unexpected twist.
“That’s why I call you my mate,” he adds, his eyes locked onto mine, his voice carrying a mix of devotion and reassurance. “Because in you, I’ve found a connection that goes beyond possessiveness, a bond that’s built on trust and understanding. And whether it’s just me or all of us, that bond remains unbreakable.”
His words pierce through the air, a declaration that carries the weight of his unwavering commitment. The room around us fades, and for a moment, it’s just the two of us, our souls laid bare and our connection stronger than ever.
Colt’s response follows swiftly, his characteristic fire and determination evident in every word he speaks. “Well, hell, if we’re all laying our hearts on the table, count me in too.”
His declaration carries the same fervor that defines his every action, and his eyes have a fierce glint as he addresses the room. The energy in the air shifts, his unwavering commitment evident to all.
“I’ve always been a passionate guy,” he continues, his voice ringing with conviction. “And I’ve always known that I want the people I care about to know just how much they mean to me.”
His gaze flickers to each of us, a connection formed through trials and triumphs that can’t be easily broken.
“I love this pack, and I love each of you,” he declares, his voice unwavering. “Ryker, you’re like a brother to me, and I’ve got your back no matter what. And you, too,” he looks at me with a grin, “I’ve come to care about you more than I ever thought possible. You challenge me, you make me want to be better, and I’ll be damned if I let anything come between us.”
The room is alive with Colt’s passion, his heartfelt words resonating with everyone present. His declaration is a reminder that our connections, our bonds, are what give us strength in the face of adversity.
He crosses his arms, his stance one of unwavering resolve. “So yeah, I’m in. I’m all in. You’re not getting rid of me that easily.”
A chorus of chuckles and nods follows, the tension of the moment dissolving into shared camaraderie. Colt’s loyalty and openness paves the way for the remaining responses, a testament to the unity that defines our pack.
“I’ve always seen the world a bit differently,” Maddox begins as he rises to his feet, his voice soft but unwavering. “But when you came into my life, you gave me a new perspective. You challenged my perceptions, and in doing so, you became a part of my art, my soul.”
His words are like brushstrokes on a canvas, creating an image of his feelings that goes beyond mere words. The room is hushed, the weight of his emotions palpable.
