Buried Mate – Maggie Hemlock

“It’s alright. You don’t have to tell us everything, but we could’ve helped you, sweetheart.” Thanks to the Other World gateways Dad was there in less than half an hour. It gave me just enough time to get home and put tea and coffee on. Dad walked in the back door into the kitchen while I was eating a leftover piece of pecan pie over the sink. “At least it has some protein,” he chuckled before waiting for me to finish so that he could pull me into a tight hug.

“I didn’t tell them yet. They were planning to catch a movie afterward and…” “Why didn’t you go with them?” I asked. “Because I’m technically on call. Don’t worry. I passed it on to someone else but, kiddo, you don’t have to worry about us. Sometimes we do just two people dates or someone has to work. Your carrier has been stir crazy because your sire won’t let him out of his sight. I figured getting out of the house for awhile is exactly what he needed.

Well, now that he’s forgotten again about how that asshat broke your heart. Really wish you’d have told us about Vallis. If you had he’d stop dreaming of…. Well, never mind. That’s his business, but this is a good thing.” “How can you say that?” I asked, sinking into a chair at the kitchen table. “Because if he hadn’t found you, he’d have died.” Dad was never one to mince words.

I always said that if I had an injury that was going to do me in that I hoped he was around because he’d be upfront with me even if he was kind about it. “He still might die,” I sighed. “Nah,” he shook his head and sat his black leather medical bag on the table.

Over the decades he’d added patches and buttons until it looked like a bizarre pattern of every color imaginable more than a black leather bag. “He’s family now. So he’s not allowed to die. Have you been getting enough to eat with all the stress?” “I have to feed him every time he shows up and it’s the holiday season. I swear I’ve gained weight.” “Good,” Dad said and glanced at the coffee part.

“Caffeine in moderation is fine. I’d go down the whole list of what to avoid but you grew up hearing it and now probably isn’t the time.” “Is it ever the time?” I laughed. “How are you feeling? Morning sickness?” “Just once. Today. Well, twice today. Once before the pixelated baby test and once after it,” I admitted. He produced the familiar bottle of orange-flavored morning sickness gummies from his bag and then pulled out another.

“Leave one on your nightstand. It might save you some days,” he said, finally sitting down at the table with me.

1kitap1.com/en CHAPTER ONE Lero The Nightshade Bear Territory They say every omega dreams of meeting their alpha. I wasn’t so sure about that. I’d known plenty of alphas in my life and would be just fine with never having one in my bed again. Who needed them when my fist slid over my own cock perfectly and I didn’t even have to suck a dick to get it there?

Who needed an alpha to knot them when today’s sex toys would do the job for you with the press of a button? Who needed the complications of dating? Not me. Not now. Not ever. Especially not on the night when my two childhood best friends were renewing their wedding vows. Not now when one was walking down the aisle to the other and the one waiting for him had sworn to love me forever.

Had sworn that he could be a good hinge and make poly work even if we met our true-mates. I wasn’t sure I wanted polyamory. I just wanted him. Him.
