Chapter Sixty One
We'll show you that life doesn't need to be like what you saw growing up," Alpha Damon says. "We'll work to make you feel respected every day."
My chest feels like it's glowing with the warmth that's spreading there.
"It took a lot of strength to come here and say what you've said," Alpha Ian says. "I love that you're so brave."
"Are you saying you loooove me?" I tease back.
Alpha Ian stands up and holds out his hand, pulling me close when I rise and take it. "I'm saying I could definitely fall in love with you. The floor feels really slippery right now," he says, his arm sliding around my waist. When I give him a confused look, he says, "The floor is slippery... so I might fall? Fall in love?"
"Not your best joke, but A for effort," Alpha Damon says, laughing.
"Will you move back in?" Alpha Harry asks, as Alpha Ian nuzzles my neck, making my head a bit fuzzy.
"I'd like to. I need to make sure my sister would be okay. I don't want to leave her when she's just moved out of our mother's house."
Alpha Ian's mouth makes its way to my lips, and I melt at the contact. I've missed him so much. All of them. After he kisses me, he turns me toward the others

"We want you here whenever it works for you," Alpha Damon says. "In the meantime, maybe we can take you out on dates."
"I love the sound of that." I'm grinning so wide, it almost hurts.
Alpha Damon pulls me into his arms and buries his nose in my hair, right above my ear. "I've been falling for you ever since you whistled at me," he says in a low voice that sends shivers along my shine. Heat radiates from everywhere he's touching me, and when he kisses me, I'm flooded with happiness.
Next, I'm in Alpha Harry's embrace, and little-by-little, my world is starting to make sense again. "The other guys might not admit it, but we've all been wandering around this house lost without you," he says.
"I know the feeling."
"So glad you're back Jasmine." His soft lips claim mine and his hands stroke my back, and I don't know how I've managed to stay away.
Lastly, there's Alpha Erik, who always leaves me a little off balance, but today he holds me so tightly that I feel completely secure. "You belong with us,Jasmine," he tells me, his eyes fixed to mine, and it's a good thing he has a firm hold on me, because my knees go weak at the intensity in his gaze.
He kisses me with an equal amount of fire, leaving me convinced that the best thing I've ever done in my life was come over here tonight and force myself to be honest and vulnerable.
When I turn away from Alpha Erik, I notice the table.
"Oh, no one's eaten any cake."
"It looks delicious," Alpha Damon says, "but there's only one thing I want right now, and it's not cake.
