Wild Love [Werewolves of Forever, Texas 1] (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting) Page 13
Jayden and Jacob glanced at each other and, as though on a silent command, bent over her and dug their fangs into the sides of her neck. Her body jerked, under attack from the werewolf venom coursing into her body, changing her, making her one of them. A surge of fire burned into her, speeding into her veins, transforming her blood into something more. Her heart doubled in time then paused, skipping precious beats before starting again. The room around her blurred and colors grew faint, morphing into an amber-filled world.
Emma shouted, her yell turning into groans of agony as the strength in her died. She didn’t want to fight the Change, she wanted it to happen, but her body couldn’t withstand the onslaught. Darkness took over, taking her away from the pain.

Emma drifted in and out of consciousness. She could hear the men’s voices as they soothed her. She could feel their tongues on her wounds. With every lick they gave her, she could sense her body healing. First the wounds they’d given her ached less, and then the dull throb in her head went away.
“Emma, are you all right?” Was that Jackson? Jayden? Or Jacob? She couldn’t think straight enough to recognize the voice.
“Emma. Wake up.”
Jackson. But she could sense Jayden and Jacob nearby. She could smell their individual scents, feel the heat from their bodies, and hear them breathing.
She nodded then dared to peek open her eyes. She squinted at the bright light. “Yes?” Her voice sounded foggy, clogged with sleep.
“You’re one of us now. You’re our mate, now and forever.”
She smiled at Jackson’s words. “Officially?”
He chuckled. “Yeah. Officially.”
She struggled to sit up but couldn’t. Her body wouldn’t respond.
“No. Don’t try to get up. You need to rest. We’re going for a run tonight, and you’re coming with us.”
Already? She thrilled at the idea. Running under the moon with her men? She couldn’t wait.
“Then tomorrow we’ll move you into our home and you can get to work finishing your book.”
She sighed. Now she had all the time she needed to finish her book.
“Jackson?”
“Yeah?”
“I need to hear you say it. I need to hear all of you say it.”
“That you’re healed? You are. I’m not a doctor, but I know how the Change works. Your tumor is gone.”
Silly Jayden. “No. That’s not what I wanted to hear. But that’s almost as good.”
“Sure.” Jackson whispered something to his brothers then spoke again.
She felt the bed dip as they leaned closer. “I love you, Emma. We love you.”
Jayden and Jacob echoed the words, the sincerity in their voices sweeping warmth over her.
“I love you all, too.” She yawned, the tortures in her shoulder, neck, and head already distant memories. She smiled as they pulled the cover over her body, her thoughts already changing into dreams.
She could see them loping over the land, their amber gazes sliding over her new werewolf body then slipping upward to focus on the white moon above. Running faster, she took her position beside the three wolves. For the first time in her life, Emma felt at peace, secure, knowing that her mates were by her side forever.
