Axis had been right. He knew that they were his. His mates. A foreign element had taken up residence in the most instinctual part of his soul. He examined it for a second and got the eerie impression that it was looking back at him. It nodded to 82

the connection between them, showing him irrevocably the bond between each and every one of his mates.
“That is your animal,” Axis whispered. Why he was whispering, Marius didn’t know. But it seemed appropriate. “We’ll teach you how to call him out of you later. Until then, get to know him. He’s yours forever.”
Erik and Levi stepped into the circle and dropped to their knees in front of Marius. Their eyes seemed too shiny, too dilated, still overwhelmed by instincts that they didn’t understand. Levi leaned into his body, lapping up the sticky pleasure that decorated his skin and groaning at the taste. Erik did the same, and all the Elites groaned. It was a hell of a sight, the two nephilim contributing to the ritual in their own way.
Once he was cleaned to their satisfaction, they sat back on their heels, smiling up at him. Marius reached out and petted both their heads, loving them more than he ever had before. It seemed by accepting the taste of the others, they were accepting the relationship between them. It pleased Marius to no end.
“I need a shower,” Marius rumbled, helping both of his nephilim lovers to their feet. The others looked at him expectantly. “Join us?”
“It is our pleasure,” Axis said.
“I want to come together with you all,” Marius added as Axis waved his hands at the others who busied themselves by blowing out the candles. “I need it.” I need to solidify whatever this is between us.
Axis’s green eyes darkened. “We would like that.” Those eyes went to the nephilim. “Are you two all right with that?”
“Yes,” Levi all but panted. “Please.”
“What he said,” Erik said, absentmindedly rubbing his own hard arousal against his thigh. The nephilim had only come once as far as Marius could tell and once was never quite enough for them, especially with all this stimulation. Marius was pleased with their agreement. Good . All his mates needed to be together. Marius especially needed them all together.

Chapter Six
Levi felt like he was on a cloud as they climbed the stairs to go to their massive bathroom that Marius had thoughtfully had installed.
His once-fallen lover seemed like he was finally on the same page as the rest of them, and the feral light in his eyes told him irrevocably that there was going to be some much-needed physical release just as soon as they stepped into the spray. Levi’s body had no problem with that, it was still weeping from earlier. Erik and he had taken the edge off with their frantic coupling, but Levi had learned a long time ago that a nephilim’s appetite for sex often boggled the minds and libidos of lesser men.
“Good God, little one. What happened to your back?” Brax asked as the Elites caught up with them on the stairs.
Levi flinched, and Erik stepped between him and the Elite who’d spoken. “Don’t talk about his back. It bothers him.”
“Who the hell did that to him?” Keer snarled, trying to step around Erik on the stairs. Levi felt tears flood his eyes. No. No. Don’t look at them. Don’t, please, ugly. They’re so ugly . Marius’s arms wrapped around him, cradling him to his chest as Levi began to shake. He’d grown so used to being around Marius and Erik that he hardly thought of the scars anymore. Insecurity swamped him. Will they think I’m ugly ?
“Shh, baby, they don’t think anything bad about you. They think you’re beautiful. They are just outraged at whoever hurt you,” Marius said, calming some of his fears. Levi hated the scars with a passion and hated the one who’d given them to him even more.
