    Chapter 393: Family Reunited E


    I get tenser and tenser as the minutes pass, and I can feel Sinir behind me


    likewise desperate to know what’s going on behind that closed door. A priestess


    because we’re very aware that we’re definitely not going to be able to rx until


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    that door opens. Which it doesn’t do for a very, very long time.


    “What are they even doing in there?” I ask, especially when I hear a little muffled


    shoute through that makes me go quite still. Sinir chuckles a little and I


    spin to look up at him, not understanding what he means –


    But then, when I see his raised eyebrow and the smirk on his face, I realize…


    “Oh, EW!” I say, swatting at him with my free hand, the one that’s not holding the


    sleeping baby. “They are so not-”


    “Roger would,” he murmurs, smiling at me and stillughing lightly.


    “Cora would not,” I say, vehement. “ This is mom’s house.”


    “She didn’t seem to mind about such activities outside the RV, where dad could


    have seen, were he to nce out the window.”


    “Yeah, but that’s your dad,” I say, rolling my eyes and returning my focus to the


    door. “It’s different.”


    “The Goddess is all-seeing,” Sinir says, and I can feel him shrug. “She’ll spy


    if she wants to – what’s the difference between having s3x in her temple as


    opposed to anywhere else -”


    But I hiss at him to shut up, looking around anxiously to make sure he wasn’t


    overhead. Chuckling, wrapping his arms around my waist again, Sinir pulls


    me back against him. “If the baby weren’t here,” he murmurs low into my ear,


    pulling my hips back against him…


    “Enough out of you,” I chide, though I can’t help the smile that tugs at my lips.


    Because…well, my mate is very difficult to resist. Even in an inappropriate


    religious space dedicated to my mom.


    Luckily, the door opens then, and Cora and Rogere striding out, wide


    smiles stretching over both of their faces as they speak softly to each other,


    holding hands,pletely oblivious to our tense waiting.


    “Cora!” I cry, thrilled and excited. Her head spins to me and her smile widens as


    I dash over to her. But as I get within three feet of her I sense –


    What is that? I stop dead in my tracks, raising my nose to sniff the air – but I


    can’t –


    Sinir,ing up behind me, likewise goes stiff and then starts tough. “Well,


    congrattions, sister-in w,” he says, and I nce back to see a wide grin on


    his face. “Looks like you’re a wolf after all.”


    “WHAT!” I shout,pletely shocked and throwing an arm around my sister,


    tugging her to me and holding the baby to my side so that he doesn’t get


    smushed. “Are you serious?! Are you?” And then I back off a little again, sniffing


    around her and sensing –


    Yes – yes –


    I may not have been able to smell it months ago, before I was immersed in this


    world – but my sister has a wolf, and it’s awake in her, and prowling around.


    Coraughs, thrilled. “Yes, E,” she says, nodding and stepping away from me


    but holding my hand. “I have a wolf. Um, I’m still human, so I can’t shift? But


    apparently,” she shrugs, shaking her head still in disbelief, “I have always had a


    wolf soul, inherited from mom. I just…never knew. She helped me find it.”


    “Wow,” I say, squeezing her hand and staring at her, baffled and thrilled. ” Cora,


    that’s amazing – I mean, I think it’s amazing. Do you?”


    Thrilled, my sister nods and then takes her hand from mine, stepping back with


    her mate. “I do. We both do.” And then she puts a hand on her stomach, still


    smiling at me. “The baby does too.”


    “WHAT!” I shout again,ughing and stumbling forward, putting my hand on her


    stomach as if I could feel the baby too. “You can feel the baby now?!”


    “Yes,” she says, happy. “I can feel him through the bond.”


    And then my eyes snap up to her and I feel my eyes instantly fill with tears as


    her words echo in my mind. “Feel…feel him?”


    Slowly, grinning, Cora begins to nod.” Him.”


    “A baby boy!” I shout, estatic, and my mate wisely slips my own baby boy from


    my arms before I hurl myself at my sister, wrapping her up as tight as I can as I


    cry against her, so happy – so incredibly excited for her, and for me to have a


    nephew, and for Rafe to have a best friend Because it’s not optional anymore Rafe and the baby are


    going to be best


    friends –


    “E!” Coraughs, holding me tight and shaking her head. “It’s all right! You’re


    choking me!”


    But I have a hard time letting her go, so my sister justughs and holds me as


    we rock back and forth, united in our joy.


    When I am able to pull back a little and wipe my tears from my face, I see my


    own mate with his arm around his brother’s shoulder, beaming at him as Roger


    looks down at Rafe in Sinir’s arms, probably considering that he’s going to


    have his own baby just like that in such a short amount of time.


    “Do you know?” I ask, turning back to Cora. “How long the pregnancy will be?”


    She pauses and then lets out a frustrated little groan, turning to Roger. “Roger,


    we forgot to ask!”


    “Ask what?” he asks, looking up at her. “How long the pregnancy will be for a


    hybrid baby,” she answers, sighing, and I see Sinir perk up at this, interested


    in the confirmation that the baby will indeed be part wolf and part human.


    “Well, whatever,” Roger says with a shrug. “The baby will tell us when he’s


    ready, or whatever.”


    “Or whatever,” Cora repeats, crossing her arms and ring at him. “Easy for


    you to say.”


    “Yes,” Roger says, grinning smugly at her but also with a great deal of love. I


    “Yes, it is.”


    And then Iugh and loop my arm in my sister’s, tugging her with me as I head


    for the temple’s door. “Come on, let’s go tell Henry,” I say, smiling at her.


    “Okay,” Cora says, sighing with happiness as if she hasn’t got a care in the


    world and I suppose she doesn’t 1 anymore, not after our mother answered so


    many of her questions. We give our thanks and goodbyes at the door to the


    priestess who let us in, who looks incredibly happy for us all, and then we start


    down the long stone steps just as the sky starts to turn pink with dusk.


    “We still have so much to tell you,” Cora says, holding my hand as we trot


    excitedly down the steps.


    “Really?” I ask, fascinated. What else is there to know?


    “Yeah,” Roger says, smirking at his brother.


    “Like what?” Sinir says casually, clearly not really believing that there could


    be much else beyond the amazing news we’ve all just received.


    “Like, that Rafe’s got magic powers,” Roger says with a wide grin. Sinir and I


    both go dead still in our tracks, turning to our siblings. Then, as one, we both


    say the same thing: “Wait, what?”


    And Roger and Cora burst intoughter
