The Dark Thrall Mating Olivia

Chapter Seventy-Nine

The three of us made our way to Olivia's bathroom, making quick work of showering and cleaning up before we found ourselves snuggled up together on the bed beneath the sheets. Killian and I had pulled on our jeans and Olivia was wearing an oversized t-shirt that seemed to swallow her whole.

We cuddled together and it didn't take long before both she and Killian were fast asleep. I let the steady sounds of their breathing lull me to sleep. My dragon felt content at their nearness but there was something else. A type of rightness at sleeping with them with our daughter in the other room. Hopefully soon she would have a sibling to join her and then Olivia would be tied to us tighter. I wanted that with both her and Killian. They were mine and I couldn't wait for our

family to grow.

***Killian POV***

I startled awake, reaching out for Olivia so I could pull her soft warm body close to mine. I wanted to snuggle into her heat and let it lull me back to sleep, to feel her heat soothing my beast with her nearness. When I didn't find her softness but instead the familiar heat and hard muscles of Jay's hard chest, I lifted my head up from the pillow. Looking around the room for Olivia, everything was sharp and my dragon was filled with panic that maybe she had left us.

Left me.

The fear that she had left us tightened in my chest, threatening to take my breath away. I was worried that I had been too much for her. She had seen my needs and been frightened by them. I sat up, looking around the darkened room. Jay was still sleeping beside me. His chest rising and falling with the steady rhythm of each breath as he slept soundly. I had never seen my dominant mate as relaxed as he had been since meeting Olivia and I knew he felt like I did. Olivia was our missing piece, completing us in a way that I had never thought we would have. I'd always assumed that we wouldn't find our mate and that I would lose control of my dragon. That the same thing would happen to Jay because of me.noveldrama

He had rejected his mate because of me and even though he wouldn't have held it against me if something happened. I would never forgive myself if something happened to him and he lost control. If I thought about it too much, I would let myself fall into that dark place and none of us needed that. Jay and I had Olivia and now Everly, they were our family.

I opened up the bond that I shared with her and relaxed a little. She was close by all warm and filled with a sense of peace. I pulled from that feeling, letting it soothe away my fears of losing control.

Olivia had that about her, the calm feeling of peace that made everything seem just as it was supposed to be. I hadn't known we had been searching for her before, but now that we had found her... She was everything we could have wanted.

I stood up, careful not to disturb Jay. He needed his rest. I know what I had been feeling after we had learned the truth about Nick had been eating at him just as it had me.

Even though Olivia had chosen us and we had chosen her. I was still worried that she would feel a connection with him. Nick was her fated mate, I'd seen the pain in his eyes when he looked at Jay and I. There had been something else that I hadn't expected to see. A longing, I wasn't sure if it was for us or what we had. But I'd seen it in his eyes.

Olivia's soft voice filtered into the room, I couldn't tell what she was saying. Her tone was too low, but there was softness and a sweetness to the sound. Just like my little wolf. I let the sound of her voice guide me out of the living room and into her bedroom. The door was open and she was sitting on the bed, Everly held gently in her arms.

She had a soft look in her tired eyes as sang to our daughter. Her shirt was pulled down and off to the side, Everly was latched to her breast. Her hand fisted in the dark material of Olivia's oversized shirt. Her eyes were fluttering closed as her mother continued to feed her, the sound of her voice soothing the baby just as it soothed me.

I rested my forearm against the doorframe, watching the tender moment of a mother taking care of her child. Warmth bloomed in my chest as I watched the two of them together.

Olivia was the kind of mother that I had always hoped to find for our children. I hoped that our coupling during her heat would result in her conceiving our offspring. It would be a magical thing to watch her body change as she grew heavy with our baby. A sibling for Everly that our little princess could grow with.

Maybe she would be a wolf like her mother? Or a dragon like her daddy and me? It didn't matter, I would love the child all the same. Just as I loved Everly, because she was a part of Olivia. A warm arm wrapped around my waist and I was pulled back against a hard chest. I relaxed into the embrace as his warm breath moved over the shell of my ear. "What are you doing up?" Olivia looked up from Everly, her brown eyes widening ever so slightly. "Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you guys. I needed to nurse Everly." She whispered.

"Keep feeding her. I was just enjoying watching you be a mom." I whispered back, giving her a soft smile as Jay rested his chin on my shoulder. He wasn't normally this affectionate, but seeing our mate like this must have woken something inside of him too.
