before finally discussing exactly what Cailin would be doing to help her
brother.
    “I know I’m not connected like you are, Dad. But I can
help.”
    Edward looked at his daughter, the one who had been trying
to navigate her way through the Pack and find her place for so long. She’d been
floundering.
    “I think you can, Cailin. I trust you.”
    Cailin’s eyes widened, and Pat smiled behind her. He felt
Logan’s pleasure at the thought of Cailin’s happiness, and that settled his own
wolf some. Logan would be good for Cailin once they figured out what they
wanted.
    “I won’t let you down.”
    Brie pulled herself onto Cailin’s lap and kissed her cheek.
“Of course you won’t. You’re a Jamenson.”
    Out of the mouths of babes.
    Edward smiled at his family and settled into his chair. The
war would rage, and battles would be fought, but if he didn’t have the strength
in body and mind that came with that came with knowing he had something to
fight for, he wouldn’t make it.
    The Jamensons wouldn’t let the Pack down.
    He thought back to Jasper and Willow and why they’d needed
the break.
    It was time to make sure the Pack didn’t let the Jamensons
down.

Chapter Five
     
     
    “Mmm…” Willow hummed to herself, her eyes still closed. Her
husband and mate’s hands cupped her breasts like he’d done so many times
before, but this time, it felt as though it was the first time.
    It always felt as if it was the first time with Jasper even
when it felt new and different too. He always muddled her brain in the best
ways.
    She didn’t care if she sounded like some dreamy-eyed
romantic because, frankly, she was. Sure, the world was crazy and falling apart
around them, but she had Jasper. She’d be okay.
    Of course she’d fight alongside the rest of them and prove
herself as a wolf, but right now, in this little cabin, she and Jasper were all
that mattered.
    As her mate was currently running his hand down her belly
toward the soft hairs on her mound, she put away any thoughts of war and
ugliness and focused on him. Honestly, she could barely think straight as it
was. She just needed to hone in on that hand of his and those nimble fingers.
    “Oh God,” she moaned as he flicked his thumb over her clit. She
leaned back, craning her neck so she could find his mouth. His tongue met hers
as he slid his fingers in and out of her heat, his thumb running circles over
that little bundle of nerves. Her nipples hardened against his palm cupping her
breast as a wash of hot tingles went over her and she came on his hand, rocking
back and forth to let the pleasure last.
    “Jasper, gods, I can’t take anymore,” she whispered, and he
growled against her neck.
    He moved his hand, making her whimper at the loss, then
pulled her thigh up so he could slide between her legs. She loved this
position, her back to his front while they lay on their sides. There was
something so intimate about it, so special.
    “Are you sure, my wolf?”
    She arched her back, moving her butt closer to him, wanting
him. “Take me, please.”
    He chuckled against her skin, the rough sensation almost
making her come again. “You changed your mind rather quickly.”
    “Shut up. I’m allowed to want you in the morning, so please,
please, just fill me.”
    “As you wish,” he said then bit her shoulder. His fangs slid
into her skin, marking her as his mate again, though it felt like the first
time. The bond flared between them as their wolves howled. Their breath and
heartbeats synced as he marked her once more.
    She came again, surprised she could do so soon after the
last. Jasper’s cock filled her until she felt ready to burst—but in the best
possible way. He pumped in and out of her, his hand on her neck, forcing her
gaze to his over her shoulder. She moved her hips in tune with his, thrust for
thrust. Their bodies rocked together, their breaths coming in pants.
    “Love you,” he whispered, and she smiled.
    She’d never get tired
