Mated to the Alpha and His Beta

Chapter 421

I couldn't keep my eyes open. After sex that good, all wanted to do was fall into a
deep, hard sleep. Lanie’s bare shoulder pressed mine, and the soft sound of her
breathing mingled with Xander and Zane's. Mine was doing the same, I realized
sleepily as I started drifting off. The four of us had synced up.
It felt good. Comfortable. Secure.
“Abba?”
My eyes flew wide open. I pushed up on my elbow, expecting to see Stella
standing at the foot of the bed.
That was how close she sounded. The bedroom door was closed. We were all
still alone.
Lanie sat up next with a small gasp. “Stella?”
Xander and Zane, on her other side, did the same. We all stared at each other.
Stella's voice entered my
mind again. Her words echoed a bit, like a shout down a well.
“I've fed the twins and settled them in their room with some toys. I need to talk to
all of you.” Stella's voice
vibrated in my head, and by the way everyone else was reacting, I could tell they
heard her, too.
Zane's shocked expression was almost comical, as was my brother's. Lanie
didn't look that shocked, more like she was taken aback. As for myself, I was
barely getting used to having a four-way mate bond with my mates. Having our
daughter chime in without warning was enough to get me out of bed in a flash.
“Give us a few minutes, sweetheart,” Lanie thought through the new link. “we'll
be out.”
The four of us shared looks.
“What the hell was that?” Xander muttered, pitching his voice low so it wouldn't
carry out of the bedroom.
Could Stella overhear us, anyway? She probably had enhanced hearing. Or, she
could simply read all of
our minds even when she wasn’t using that brand-new link to talk to us. The
feeling was unsettling, to say the
least.
Lanie shook her head and got out of the bed. “She's a Celestial, Xander. I think
the more open we are to
whatever happens, the better off we're all going to be.
I'm going to jump in the shower before we go talk to her, though.”
Zane chuckled, lifting his arm to sniff under it. “I'd say we all should at least rinse
off. Just because Stella
knows we've been making love, that doesn’t mean we all need to roll out of here
smelling like it.”
Ja
Four adults in a bathroom would never be an ideal situation, even with the size of
ours, but we all
managed to get to the shower and the sinks without tripping over one another. By
the time we all got out into

the living room, Stella had made us all mugs of sweet, spiced tea and laid out
plates of the sliced birthday cake Gabriela had brought for her.
“This was nice, honey. Thank you.” Lanie hugged her with a small laugh. I must
say, while I'm still getting used to the idea of you being all grown up, I can get
used to this!”
Xander plucked a slice from the plate and bit into the thick frosting. “Me too.”
Stella beamed. “I'm glad. I didn’t want to overstep, but I could tell you all needed
something sweet and
sugary.”
“The link,” I said as I took a plate and fork and sat with it in one of the recliners.
“That's new. How long have you been able to do that?”
“Mason, she probably always could,” Lanie murmured

Even me. Knowing I've had these abilities for so long but never sharing them has
always felt wrong, and i never want to hide anything from my parents again.”
Lanie hugged her again, her expression shadowed.
“I never want you to feel like you have to, honey.
Whatever you need to share with us, you should be able. Even if you think it will
upset us, or make us
mad...or scare us.”
Stella nodded, looking solemn. She hadn't taken a piece of cake or a mug of tea,
but she waited until we
all had and sat before she addressed us.
