Sweet Redemption: The Morningstar Series Book 3
Sweet Redemption Chapter 60

"Ahkari can I ask you something?" She said.

"Of course my love. I have no secrets from you." I told her.

Bianca smiled at me lovingly.

"Why do you tell me everything?" She asked.

I frowned at her in confusion.

"You asked." I answered simpy. Bianca shook her head.

"Yeah but why do you answer me? It's not that I don't appreciate it, because I do. You treat me more like an equal than anyone ever has in my life. I love it but.. I don't understand it. I can feel how much you want to protect me, yet you include me always." She said. I smiled at her after I understood what she was asking. Reaching up I cupped the side of her face. "Because we are equals and I value you and your opinions." I told her.

"Even before we were marked. You made it clear that you were always underestimated because you're female, I don't ever want to make you feel that way. As much as I want to keep you safe, I know that would never make you happy. I care about you too much. And if I'm being honest you're a good fighter, and I can make you even better. I don't believe that sheltering you would protect you, I believe that involving you and training would be more efficient. That's what my parents always taught us." I told her. "Although I don't think Ares will be like that when he meets his mate.." I trailed off in thought.

"Why's that?" Bianca asked.

I turned to give her a wide eyed look.

"Wait til you get to know him. He's an over protective a*****e and a control freak." I grumbled.

Bianca giggled.

"Thank you." She said softly.

I tucked a few strands of her hair behind her ear. "You don't need to thank me for treating you like a person Bianca. You matter, always." I told her.

A foreign emotion floated through the bond. I gave Bianca a questioning look. She looked away from me and took a deep breath. Just when I thought she was going to tell me what that was about something in the corner of our room caught her eye. "What are those boxes?" She asked.

I looked over to where she was looking. Three large boxes sat in the corner next to my closet. Oh s**t, I almost forgot. Turning back to my mate I gave her a sheepish smile.

"Soooo." I drawled out. "Don't be mad." I started and Bianca turned to me with a frown.

"I may or may not have overheard Bou ask Max to have his stuff shipped here while we were gone. And I may or may not have asked him to do the same with your stuff." I admitted, scratching the back of my neck. Posted by Narugi.com; visit us for more free novels. "I just thought that after I marked you you wouldn't want to leave, and I definitely don't want you to leave. I knew we didn't plan on being fully mated by the time we got back but.." I trailed off unsure of what to say for myself.

Bianca got up and walked over to the boxes. She opened the first one and a smirk fell on her face. When she looked up at me there was an amused twinkle in her eye.

"Do you happen to know who packed up my stuff?" She asked.

I shook my head.

"I can ask Max though. Now that he is mated to Tia I can mindlink him." I offered.

"Yes, do that. I want to know who touched this stuff before I show it to you." She stated amused.

Hey Max. I got a question. I said as I pulled on the link between us.

Sup Kari? Everything go okay with your dad? He asked.

Yeah. I answered with a laugh. Much better than with you. I teased. Anyways. Bianca wants to know who packed up her stuff. I told him.

Max took a moment to answer.

She's gonna get mad but Bruce made him do it. Max answered.

I frowned.

Who tf was it and why would it upset my mate? I asked.

Because they hate each other, which is partly why Bruce made him do it. His name is Greg. She'll know. I'm cutting the link though, working on a project right now Kar, sorry. He rushed out then cut the link and blocked me out. Okay, that was weird.

"He said you were gonna be mad cause it was some guy named Greg." I told her.

I watched as my mates face went from amused to angry in a split second.

"That fucker let that douche bag touch my stuff?" She roared.

"He said Bruce did it." I told her.

Bianca rolled her eyes.

"Of f*****g course. Well now I don't trust any of this stuff is clean. That freak probably used all of it before packing it up." She pouted.

I walked over to her and wrapped my arms around her from behind.

"Used all of what, baby?" I asked.

Bianca's body relaxed in my arms. She turned her head to the side to look at me.

"Take a look." She said and stepped to the side out of my hold.

I peered into the box that she opened and my face heated immediately. There in the large box were nothing but s*x toys. Some I recognized, some I did not. I sifted through the box to see that it was indeed only s*x toys. There were n****e clamps, dildos, vibrators, two headed dildos, ropes, handcuffs, gags, whips, paddles, a few things I was not familiar with. After I had looked through a big chunk my eyes looked up to meet my mates. Bianca was smiling down at me as I went through the box.

"Theres.... so much." I said and I couldn't help but think about all the other girls she used this stuff on. "You must have had a busy life before me." I tried to sound light but it sounded forced.

Bianca got down on her knees beside me and grabbed my face, forcing me to look into her eyes.

"Babe relax. Yes I had a past before you. But now that I met you, it's only you baby." She told me. "Unfortunately though, I won't use any of this on you until I clean it." She said.

I smiled at her and grabbed her hands from my face.

"Want to unpack the rest then?" I asked her.

********

Bianca and I spent the next couple of hours unpacking her things. She didn't have a lot of stuff, but she had a lot of clothes and shoes. It took us a bit to make room in my closet. When we were done I was feeling so much lighter. Bianca plopped down on the bed and I could feel her exhuation through the bond.

"Want me to run you a bath baby? We have a huge tub, I could fit in there with you." I offered.

Bianca peeked an eye open to look at me.

"That sounds amazing." She sighed.

I walked into the bathroom and locked the door that lead to Acaisia's room. I wonder how she took Bou moving into her room. Giggling at the thought I turned the water on to the large jacuzzi tub. Getting the water nice and hot I started pouring scented oils in and bubbles.

Once it was full I shut the water off and walked back into my room to get my mate.

"Ready baby?" I asked Bianca who was still sprawled out on our bed.

She lifted her head and smiled. Bianca dragged her body off of the bed and sauntered over to me. She stopped in front of me and placed a soft kiss to my lips.

A kiss that started off innocent and quickly turned hot. Bianca slipped her tongue passed my lips and into my mouth.

I reached down to the ends of her shirt and pulled. We parted long enough for her shirt to come off before our lips met again. Moving my hands down I undid her jeans and pulled away from her lips to fall to my knees before her.

I pulled her jeans down with me and gently pull them off, one leg at a time. Bianca wasn't wearing underwear and I was greeted with that beautiful p***y of hers.

With her pretty little p***y in front of my face I was able to see one of my temporary marks. I placed a soft kiss to it and Bianca shivered. Her reaction only fueled me on and I couldn't help myself when my tongue slipped through her folds. Bianca and I let out a moan at the same time.

f**k, she tastes good.

My mate spread her legs for me and leaned against the doorframe. I nestled myself between her legs and threw one of them over my shoulder. Bianca ran her fingers through my hair and leaned her head back. I gently dipped my tongue through her folds again. Through the bond I could feel her lust growing. Moving more under her I lifted my other hand to move her p***y lips apart.

Then I sucked on her clit, right where another temporary mark was. Bianca bucked as she moaned out my name. I slipped my tongue along her until I got to her hole. Then I shoved my tongue inside.

Bianca moaned loudly and her grip on my hair tightened. I ran my fingers along the mark on her inner thigh and she almost fell on me. I had to grip the sides of her thighs to try and keep her in place.

Deciding Bianca wasn't going to hold up much longer I quickened my pace. I tried to hold her up as my tongue licked and sucked up all over her.

When I pulled that perfect pink bud back into my mouth and bit down, Bianca came. Her body shook with her o****m and her juices spilled out onto my tongue. I lapped up everything she gave me as my mate came down from her high. After she had caught her breath and I licked everything up, I put her leg back down and stood up.

"You always taste so f*****g good. Like candy." I told her.

Bianca giggled at me.

"I would ask if you are serious but because you taste like fruity pebbles, how can I?" She teased.

I placed a quick but passionate kiss to her lips.

"Okay, get in and I'll get undressed and join you." I told her.

Bianca and I spent about 40 minutes in the bath together. We washed each other, enjoyed the bubbles and jets, and talked. It seemed we never ran out of things to say to each other. Bianca is definitely my mate and my best friend.

When we got out I dried my mate off with full intentions to dress her, but she just crawled into our bed naked. After I dried myself off I threw on an over sized night shirt and crawled in with her. Bianca cuddled up to me, tangling her limbs with mine. About five minutes later she was alseep.

I laid awake playing with her hair and thinking about everything that's happened since I met her. It's been a couple of weeks now technically. I hope she's happy.

She is. Sage told me.

What is she hiding from me Sage? I asked my wolf hoping she had the answer.

Sage huffed.

I don't know. She said.

If you had to guess, what do you think it is? She seems so happy most of the time. Then she gets those little flickers of sadness or anixety... I don't understand. Are we doing something wrong? I asked my wolf.

Maybe she thinks we will leave her? Sage offered.

I shook my head at her.

No that's not it. She knows I want her and only her. I said.

Maybe Bou can tell us. Sage suggested.

I cringed.

I'm not sure Bianca would appreciate me asking her twin about this. I said.

Let's ask her then. Sage said.

She had a point. Maybe I should just ask Bianca. I never said anything about the little flickers of emotions I would get from her. I guess I figured that when she wanted to tell me, she would. Now I'm feeling a bit worried about it. What if she's regretting us being marked? What if she wants to leave me? What if this isn't what she wants?

I'm not sure I could stand it if any of those were true. I know she never thought she would have a mate but she seemed to be so happy most of the time.

Maybe this was all too much for her, or maybe we are moving too fast. Most mates would have been moved in and have a completed bond on the first night, but we were not normal. I never hoped or expected that for myself anyways.

I am not normal, my family is not normal. Even in supernatural terms. All I wanted was to have a good mate who would love me, who I could love. Finally, I got what I always wanted and so much more.

Bianca was the whole package and then some to me. Not only is she easy to love, but she loves me back. She's a woman too, which was f*****g amazing. I got a mate who's strong willed, fiesty, smart, a fighter, caring, funny. She is everything to me. The thought that I might lose that had anxiety eating at me.

What could I do to make her feel more secure here? What could I do to prove to her that this is right where she belongs? Right here with me, always.

Bianca stirred next to me shaking me from my thoughts. She curled herself more into me and inhaled deeply. I wrapped my arms around her and snuggled in closer as well. Whatever was going on in her head, we would get through it.

********************

The next day I woke up with my mate between my legs. After she had made me c*m I wanted to return the favor. Unfortunately my brother started pounding on my door.

"Tear yourselves apart and get downstairs for breakfast." Came Ares angry voice.

Bianca and I shared a look as we heard him go to Acaisia's door do the same.

"f**k off Ares!" Acaisia growled back at him.

"Watch your damn mouth!" He growled back. "If I have to come in there and drag the two of you downstairs I'm kicking your mates a*s, and then yours." He stated before stomping away.

"What's his problem?" Bianca asked me.

I shrugged. "He's always been like that. I told you he's an a*****e." I told her.

"Isn't he your little brother?" My mate asked me.

I nodded.

"By a year, yeah." I said. "He just needs to replace his mate."

Bianca hummed.

"Do you think that would mellow him out?" She asked.

I smirked.

"Not at first. If karma really does exist, he'll have a mate who gives him s**t at first. I cannot wait." I told her.

********

Bianca and I threw on some sweats, and Bianca a shirt. We headed downstairs and almost ran into our twins in the hallway. Acaisia was still sporting a pout but Bou had his arm slung around her shoulders with a smile. "You look happy this morning." Bianca said to him.

Bou's eyes flickered down to Acaisia before going back to his sister.

"Every morning is a happy morning when I wake up to my mate." He said.

"Awhh." I gushed out.

Acaisia rolled her eyes.

"I'd be much happier if my little brother didn't interrupt me getting some morning head." Acaisia grumbled out making me snicker.

"You too huh?" Bianca said to her.

Acaisia threw Bou's arm off her shoulders and looped her arm through my mates.

"Tell me you're just as pissed off and sexually frusterated as I am." My twin said as she started to drag my mate down the stairs.

Bou and I exchanged a look before laughing and following behind them.

"Uh, yeah! What's his problem anyways? Ahkari said he's always like that but, like, why?" Bianca asked.

"He is the psychotic one out of the bunch of us." Acaisia said.

"Acaisia." I scolded her. "Don't say that. The rest of our siblings aren't old enough to be in the running yet." I teased. "Besides, we are all a little psycho." I added.

"Huh?" Bou asked confused as we entered the kitchen.

"It's a family joke... kind of." I said.

"Our mothers mother was the sane one out of her siblings, her only brother was the crazy one, like hella crazy. He's the reason nobody likes the Anderson's. Aunt Lenny is the crazy one our of our mom and her siblings." Acaisia said making me snort.

"Our Aunt Lavinna has six kids, yet to be determined as well but my money is on Ishani. She's the second oldest." Aciaisa told them as we all entered the dinning room, where there was a buffet of breakfast set up.

"Us, my money is on Ares, or Akeehla." She finished just in time for mom to greet us.

"I hope you guys slept well." She said as she hugged all of us. "Your dad and I want to have a long breakfast with you guys before we have to go." She said.

"You're leaving again?" I asked sadly.

Mom looked at me with sadness in her light green eyes.

"I'm sorry honey. We have a few more leads to follow up on." She told me.

Just then Dad walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around Mom.

"We don't like leaving you guys as it is, but your voicemail gave us a reason to come back and visit for a few days." Dad said with a sigh.

Bianca turned her head to me.

Voicemail? She asked through our link.

I told you I called them as soon as you left me in the gym that day, after teaching the kids. I told her.

Bianca blushed at my words.

Soon we were all seated at the table. Bou demanded that Acaisia sit down while he piled up her plate with way more food than she could ever eat.

I wondered if Bianca wanted that same treatement but watching her roll her eyes dramatically at her brother had me thinking that was not something she would like. My mate is independent anways. If anything she would want me to sit down. I did, however get her some juice.

"So, how have the missions been going?" Dad asked us after we had all starting eating.

Our older siblings turned listen to our conversation. Thankfully it was a Sunday so we were all able to spend time together. The only ones mission were Relly, Tia, and their mates.

Unfortunately Relly is busy taking care of the largest pack in the world and Tia is busy running a school and the BOC.

"Good. We've aced every one of them." I said.

"Except maybe this last one." Acaisia mumbled.

"What do you mean by that?" Dad asked.

"Ahkari and I got ourselves cursed." She told our dad.

Mom gasped, the worry clear in her eyes. Dad on the other hand..

"Really?" He asked with, dare I say, a proud smile forming on his lips.

"Mhmm." Acaisia said with her mouth full.

"What kind of curse?" Dad asked intrigued and earning himself a slap from Mom.

"Are you two okay?" Mom asked concerned.

"Of course they are." Dad said then took a drink of his coffee. "They're our children afterall." He said proudly.

Acaisia and I shared a look as we tried to hide our snickering.

"Shut the f**k up Kasyn." Mom said.

There it is.

Mom was most definitely the sweeter one out of her and Dad. She had a warming aura to her, something that apparently she didn't have until she got pregnant with Relly.

I found it hard to picture Mom as anything scary or dangerous, and then I saw her and Dad fight for the first time when I was 14.

A few of our younger siblings snickered at the end of the table. Mom's eyes snapped down to them.

Ut oh.

"And what the hell is so funny Axton?" Mom asked him, her voice like ice.

Axton's face went pale causing Kee to burst in laughter.

"Akeehla." Mom said her name like a warning.

"Yes Momma?" She asked innocently from the middle of the table.

Mom sighed loudly and rolled her eyes before turning them back to my father.

"Your kids are just as irritating as their father." She said causing not only Dad to chuckle, but the rest of us to snicker. Well, all of of us but Ares, who never laughs.

"At least they are all as beautiful as their mother." Dad said to her then placed a kiss to her forehead. Mom visibly relaxed and a smile turned the corners of her mouth. "Just as stubborn too." Dad added making Mom huff again.

"This is what you meant when you said things would be different today." Bianca whispered to me.

I nodded.

"So, this curse, your mother is right, are you two okay?" Dad asked.

Acaisia and I looked at each other then back to our parents.

"Yes." We answered in unison.

"Don't worry Daddy, Max and Tia are working on getting more information, and we are being careful." I told them.

"Well, let's hope Max is good for something." He said making the four of us laugh.

"Kasyn get over it." Mom said to him. "He's our daughters mate and he's done a lot of groveling to you. Give him a break." She said.

Dad took a long drink of his coffee. "After the way he hurt my little girl? He isn't getting off that easily."

Mom sighed and rolled her eyes.

"How long until your next mission then?" She asked, turning her attention back to us.

"Probably not until we figure this curse stuff out." Acaisia answered.

"And what do you plan to do while you wait?" Mom asked.

Acaisia and I looked at our mates, then to each other. We both shrugged at the same time but didn't answer further. Honestly we would probably do what we normally do and enjoy our time off. Now that we have mates though... Maybe it's a good thing Mom and Dad won't be around.
