Valentine s Circle of Love Read online

  Smiling, she kissed his cheek. “I’m not going to let anyone touch me, silly. The only hands I want on me are you five’s.” She laid her head on his chest and he growled.

  Scanning the room, Valentine removed Kesha’s coat and handed it to the coat clerk. “It seems everyone is here. Are you ready?” He held out his arm, and Bruno held out his.

  Kesha grinned and placed her arms in theirs, nodding. Billy and Travis walked in front of them with Marc holding their hands. The room quieted down as they entered the grand ballroom. Every eye was on her, and a few men whistled and shouted taunts.

  Valentine snarled and moved her farther into the room as everyone clapped. Bruno nodded to the band, and they stared to play “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.” Bruno pulled her into his arms and danced her around the circle of people.

  Valentine had to admit that just watching her dance with Bruno made him smile. They were all proud of their mate. Bruno moved his hand down to her ass and squeezed it, pulling her closer to his body.

  Valentine’s cock hardened further as he stepped onto the dance floor to take his turn with his mate. Bruno kissed her lips softly and strolled away.

  “Come here, baby.” He wrapped his arms around her waist and nuzzled her neck. “I’m so fucking hard right now I’m tempted to take you to the coat room and sink my cock into your pussy just to hold me off.”

  Kesha laughed and gazed up at him. “If our juices wouldn’t ruin the dress, I’d let you,” she teased and rubbed her leg against his cock.

  “Careful, Kesha, I’m not in total control right now.” He snarled and nipped her neck as Marc tapped him on his arm. “Damn, that was fast.”

  She reached up and pressed a soft kiss to his lips. “We’ll dance later. A whole song, I promise.” He nodded and made his way to Bruno, who was murmuring into a walkie-talkie.

  “Any word?” Valentine asked. Bruno shook his head. “I know he’s going to try something tonight. I just don’t know when or how. How the hell are we supposed to enjoy the night when we’re all wound up worrying about her and the children?”

  A lone cat screamed in the night. Kesha stopped and turned to him, her face white and her body trembling. He ran to her. “What?”

  “They’re here.” She turned and the cat screamed again. Valentine realized it was a message to his mate. “Maddy, the bear says at least 30 men have moved around the hall.”

  “How the hell did they get here?” Valentine growled. He started issuing orders.

  Kesha shook. “They’ve been here for a while. The animals didn’t recognize their scent until they came out in the open. They’ve been watching.”

  Bruno rubbed her arms. “Do they know about the animals?”

  “No, the animals are waiting for you word, following them. They’ll attack the first time you do.”

  Valentine grinned and nodded to Bruno. “Let’s go. I want to enjoy the rest of my night. Marc, Leon, Andre, you stay inside and protect the children and Kesha.” Valentine and Bruno ran for the door.

  “Be careful, please,” Kesha whispered, but both of them heard

  her.

  “We love you, baby, and nothing is going to stop us from claiming you tonight, so keep any other men away from our ass,” Valentine snarled, teasing her by hiding his smile.

  Chapter Seven

  Kesha sat at one of the tables with her father, children and three of her mates. Both boys huddled close to her, knowing their father was outside. Billy cried as he held on to her, and Travis clung to Marc’s neck, trembling.

  “I swear, if I see that son of a bitch, I’ll kill him.” Hael glanced the boys, his hands covered with fur. “What the hell did he do to them?”

  She shook her head. “You don’t want to know, Dad.”

  Gunshots echoed around the building, animals screamed as they attacked, and wolves howled as they stalked their prey. A cup of coffee was placed in front of her along with two hot chocolates.

  Andrea reached for Billy and pulled him into her arms as he cried, reaching back for Kesha.

  “Billy, look at me,” Andrea quietly ordered.

  He looked up at her and so did Travis as he squirmed out of Marc’s arms to stand by his brother. “I want both of you to look all round this room. What do you see?” she asked. Her gaze following theirs, and she smiled at the men who had lined up all around the walls, waiting to attack anyone who entered the hall.

  “Billy, Travis, those men are here to protect you and your mommy. No one will enter this building and hurt you. Do you understand?” They both nodded as she smiled. “Good. Now there are two glasses of hot chocolate with extra marshmallows for you waiting right here.” Both boys turned and squirmed up to the table to grab their cups. She laughed as they gulped down their drinks.

  “Thank you,” Kesha said, patting the hand Andrea had placed on her shoulder.

  “They have to learn to trust us. I know it’s hard for them, but they can’t let fear overcome them. It will be over soon and this party will get started. I’m just sorry it happened on your special day.”

  Kesha played with the boys at the table for the next half hour. Suddenly, the doors to the hall opened and Bruno and Valentine stepped into the room grinning. Their clothes were ripped and dirty, but they had no blood on them. They made their way to her and kneeled at her feet.

  “It’s over.” Valentine looked at the boys. “Walter is gone and he can’t hurt anyone again.”

  Billy and Travis stood, then ran to them and hugged them as they cried. Kesha sighed and listened to the animals saying good night as they all returned to their homes.

  “Why don’t you two go play with the other children now.” Bruno stood up and pushed the boys toward the other kids.

  As Billy and Travis headed off, Valentine looked down at her. “We’ll be back. We’re going to take a quick shower and change clothes.”

  Kesha nodded and watched as both men slowly moved around the corner into the men’s lounge. Marc pulled her up into his arms as the band once more began to play. “Come dance with me.”

  They danced among others as everyone started to relax and enjoy the night. But all too soon, the music stopped again.

  Bruno stood on the stage, gazing down at her. “Kesha, please come up here,” he said into the mic. His hair was damp, and he wore a brand-new tux. His eyes flashed back and forth between human and wolf.

  Marc, Leon and Andre led her up to the stage as Bruno handed the mic to Valentine. All five of them kneeled in front of her and stared at her. Her stomach knotted and her palms grew damp.

  “Kesha, since you’ve come into our lives, you have completed the circle of our family. You are our heart and soul. Please be patient with us while we stumble and make mistakes.” His mother snorted in the audience.

  Kesha grinned as he snarled, then continue, “You have already shown us that our love knows no boundary by bringing two precious children into our lives. We promise to love, honor, worship and always make sure there is passion in your life. Will you bind yourself to us so we may protect and cherish you?”

  Tears slipped down her cheeks, and she heard Andrea sniffled. Kesha started laughing, remembering what Valentine had said about the spanking. All five men stared at her.

  “I would be honored to be bound to you, and I, too, promise to love, honor and worship you even while your mother runs around the house trying to spank you.” She giggled as everyone behind them burst out laughing.

  Valentine turned bright red and stood. He grabbed her around the waist. “You are in so much trouble.” He grinned as he kissed her. “Do you mind if we do the bonding now? We can’t wait,” he whispered into her ear.

  Kesha shook her head. “No, I can’t wait either.”

  Bruno stepped forward and picked her up as Valentine spoke into the microphone. “We are doing this a little differently than usual, but with everything that has happened, I’m sure you can understand our need to bind our mate to us.” He placed the mic back in
its stand and jumped off the stage. He, Kesha, and their mates walked outside and most of the adults followed them and formed a ring around them. A few stayed behind to watch over the children.

  In the circle, males and females stripped and shifted. Over four hundred wolves waited as Bruno slowly lowered her feet to the ground.

  Valentine stepped up behind her and unzipped her dress. He slowly lowering it to the ground, and she stepped out of it. He handed the dress to the man who would hold their clothes.

  “Are you ready?” Bruno ran his hand down her breast and circled her nipple with a finger before stepping back. “Shift.”

  Kesha shifted, then stretched and watched her mates as they stripped and shifted. All five wolves moved around her, sniffing and growling. She knew Bruno would be the first to mount her since he was the head of their family, followed by Valentine, Marc, Andre and Leon.

  Bruno latched on to her neck and covering her body with his as he pushed his cock into her ass. She whimpered as he pumped into her. Howls from the pack filled the night air as Bruno released his seed into her. He licked her fur and slowly pulled off her as Valentine covered her.

  Much later, Kesha whimpered as her last mate, Leon, slipped off her. Her legs trembled and her body was sore from her mates’ possession. Valentine had already shifted back to his human form. He now picked her up and carried her back into the hall. “Come on, baby, let’s get you all washed up.” He kissed her furry head as he pushed into the men’s lounge.

  The click of the lock sounded behind her as he lowered her to the floor. “Shift, Kesha, and let us take care of you.”

  Her body trembled as bones snapped and skin replaced fur. She curled up on the floor, too tired to move as Bruno picked her up and stepped into the shower. All five of them rubbed, cleaned and kissed her body.

  Kesha smiled as Leon dried her, and Andre helped her slip the dress back on before zipping it up.

  Valentine stepped up to her and handed her a small jewelry box. “This is for you from all of us. Happy Valentine’s Day, Kesha.”

  She gasped as she opened the box. A five-point-star diamond necklace glittered in the light. “It’s beautiful. Thank you, but you didn’t need to—”

  Valentine placed his finger on her lips. “Yes, we did.” He took the necklace out of the box and wrapped it around her neck. Bruno closed the clasp and kissed her neck.

  “Perfect.” Leon said and Andre held out their arms and escorted her back into the room. Once again, everyone came to their feet, applauding. Kesha smiled and thanked the guests, knowing that all five of her mates would keep her life full of passion, love and children. She trailed her hand down to her stomach and patted her tummy, knowing tonight when they were alone she would tell them they were once again going to be fathers.
