Hell's Redemption- The Complete Series Boxset

by Grace McGinty

  “What’s the first step?”

  He kissed my eyelids, then my nose, before answering. “We are already Pack, you are already Queen. My blood will change him, your blood will tie him to pack. We’ll both take his blood, then heal his wounds. Then it will be complete. I’m unsure how it will affect him. Other than Nazir, we haven’t turned any humans, though it was sometimes done in the olden days by smaller packs.”

  I wrinkled my nose. Despite my new biting fetish, consuming blood still made me a little squeamish

  It must have shown on my face because Rouen laughed. “I find that the whole thing is easier if you do it while having sex,” he stated seriously.

  “Does it increase the magic?” I asked. That would make sense; all sorts of rituals used sex to strengthen the magic.

  “Nah, but to quote Miss Poppins, a mind blowing orgasm helps the medicine go down.”

  I laughed so hard my belly hurt and I was huffing out laughs like a muppet. “Thanks for destroying my childhood, asshole.” I punched him in the shoulder. “What about afterwards? I remember after the Alpha fight there may have been mention of an orgy to cement the pack?”

  They all laughed. “You might remember that, huh?” Rouen said, winking.

  “We will see how Charlie feels. We do not need to solidate his position in the pack right now.”

  I resisted the urge to pout.

  We were all silent then, the weight of what we were about to do was heavy on us all. The crickets sounded louder, the crackle and pop of the fire almost soothing.

  Rouen let out an exaggerated sigh, though he was grinning. “A Beta’s work is never done.”

  And then he kissed me. And boy, what a kiss.

  His tongue danced along my lips, before he pushed forward to deepen the kiss. His hands slid up the naked curve of my hips. He pressed his fingers into the soft flesh of my ass, and pulled me close to his body. I could feel his cock, hard and eager. I let out a little moan as I felt someone move in behind me. A kiss was pressed to my shoulder, then to the base of my neck and I shivered.

  A happy hum of appreciation whispered in my ear as another hard cock pressed against my ass, and I wiggled back against the warm body behind me, drawing Rouen with me so I was pressed between two muscular bodies. Rouen stooped to kiss my neck, and I looked behind me into the face of Naz. He held my eyes as he moved his hand over my hip, down to my inner thigh, his fingers brushing the lips of my sex, his feet nudging mine apart so he had better access.

  As he dipped his fingers into the wetness of my folds, a sharp breath hissed between his teeth. His finger skimmed over my clit and I bucked against his hand.

  Rouen moved his mouth back to mine, kissing me as if he were desperate to capture all my moans with his lips.

  He didn’t have to wait long as Naz pushed a finger into my pussy, and I let out a long, low whimper. Rouen's hand slid down my stomach to rub a thumb over my clit. As their hands worked in unison, I was sure I was going to lose my mind. I gripped Rouen's hair in my fist, pulling his head back so I could bite along his jaw, my body desperately pressing against his.

  “Uh uh, my Queen.”

  He groaned and pulled away from me, but his body had barely left mine when Charlie was in front of me. He was naked, his hard cock pressing against my stomach, and his eyes hooded with lust.

  He kissed me, and I wondered if he could taste Rouen on my lips. Naz moved his fingers away from the aching heat of my center and I let out a growl of protest. I could feel his chest rumble out a laugh from behind me, but then his warmth was gone too, replaced by the radiant hardness of a gargoyle. Romanus.

  I wrapped my arms around Charlie, leaning back into Rom like he was a solid wall of muscle. Charlie put two hands under my ass and lifted me so I could wrap my legs around his waist, my body pressed tightly between my two men. I groaned as every minor movement made my aching clit rub against the hard lines of his abdominal muscles.

  He looked me in the eye as he slid his cock inside me, and it was a goddamn revelation.

  My moans echoed around the darkness. I felt the hard length of Romanus’ cock pressed against my back, but he made no move to do anything with it. He just held me steady as Charlie began to slide in and out of me, slowly building his pace until our moans made a symphony in the forest.

  I felt Romanus’ breath on my neck, as he kissed the hollow behind my ear. I moved my head to the side, giving him unfettered access to my neck and he moaned long and low. I prepared myself for the sting of his teeth piercing my flesh, but I still winced a little. He pulled away, his hands coming around to nudge Charlie’s mouth to where it needed to be.

  Charlie looked at the blood pooling on my neck, and I could see the sweat on his brow and his chest was heaving. I caught the brief look of panic when he saw my blood, but I also saw him straighten his shoulders in resolution. He leaned forward and captured the bleeding bite on my neck with his mouth. He sucked hard and I came on his cock on a scream. Holy shit, that was amazing. No wonder the guys went wild when I bit them. He sucked in pull after pull of blood, until Romanus tapped his cheek.

  Charlie buried himself deep inside me as he came on a roar.

  Romanus licked the wound on my neck, the tingling of gargoyle healing mixing with the shuddering aftershocks of my orgasm.

  Charlie slipped out of me, and as soon as my feet hit the soft grass, I pushed him down, so we were both a tangle of arms and legs on the grass.

  “I love you,” I whispered against his lips, giving him barely a brush of a kiss before moving to his neck. I bit down on the vulnerable flesh, and he moaned. Rouen was suddenly there, pressing a finger between my lips breaking the suction seal.

  “Careful my Queen, our new pack mate might not like being bitten with your cute little blunt teeth.” His finger shifted to a claw, and it was almost enough to shock me out of my lust haze. Rouen dragged the nail over Charlie’s stubble, and sliced the shallowest cut alongside his pulse point.

  “Ready?” I whispered, and I could feel Romanus big body over mine, his cock seeking entrance. Charlie’s eyes locked with mine. “I’ve never been more ready for anything in my life.”

  I raised my ass a little, pushing back into Romanus, searching for that silken hardness that I craved. As he slid into me, I lapped at the blood trickling down Charlie’s throat before sealing my lips around his wound.

  The energy between us all was intense, the bonds pulsing with the pounding hearts of my mates.

  My mates. Not just my pack, but my mates. Something deeper than husbands and lovers. A soul deep connection.

  As Charlie’s blood seeped into my system, I could feel the bond to Charlie snap into existence, just an almost invisible thread that strengthened and brightened until it shone like gold inside my mind. I could feel Charlie harden against my stomach as the slow, rhythmic thrusting of Romanus created delicious friction.

  Romanus thrust his wrist toward Rouen, who bit down on it, piercing the skin and sucking gently. When the blood flowed down his wrist and landed on the grass beside us, Romanus planted his hand down next to Charlie’s head, which was tipped back in pleasure.

  “Take my blood and become Pack for eternity, Charles Mulligan.”

  It was an offer with a shadow of warning. But Charlie was all in, latching onto his arm with a moan.

  The magic was high in the clearing now, an almost physical force. I didn’t know why it was different to Naz’s turning, maybe because we weren’t yet a pack, maybe because it was a life or death situation. Maybe it was because right now, we were completing our pack. But I could feel everyone’s emotions and the alpha magic swirling around my skin, wrapping around my body like a third lover.

  As Charlie drank from Romanus’ arm, my Alpha gargoyle kept pounding me from behind, driving me into Charlie’s body.

  It was too much. My orgasm crushed me like a tidal wave, and I barely came up for air before Romanus reached his own climax, burying himself deep inside of me, pressing his teeth gently into my s
houlder blade making me come all over again. Charlie came all over my front in hot spurts, a desperate groan pulled from his lips.

  Romanus shifted away, and I rolled my heated body onto the cool dewy grass.

  Romanus raised his body over Charlie’s, until they were pressed together chest to chest. There was nothing sexual in the action, but Romanus leaned forward and sucked on the wound on Charlie’s neck.

  I felt the bond explode in my mind, all of Charlie’s emotions flowing between us. Lust, happiness, confusion all battered at our barrier. Romanus slid a tongue against Charlie’s wound, healing it completely like it had never been there, then rolling away so his body was pressed close to mine.

  We laid there in the silence for a moment, speaking with our emotions along the bonds. I turned my head and I could see Rouen and Naz sitting beside the fire, hands resting on their thighs, cum shining in the flickering light above semi soft cocks.

  I sighed happily. At least everyone had some fun.

  I rolled over until I was face to face with Charlie.

  I gave him a tentative smile and pushed a little love down the bond.

  “Are you doing okay?”

  He opened one eye, and chuffed out a happy sound. “That was, I mean this is…” he ran out of words but I knew exactly what he meant.

  He came closer, staring deep into my soul. He had a direct line to it now, a shining golden thread that was lassoed around my heart.

  “I love you, Rella.”

  I stared back, appreciating my night vision yet again so I could see the beauty of his eyes.

  One the normal Mulligan blue, and the other a swirling amethyst.

  Chapter Twenty-Two

  I sat naked on the front porch, the suns rays kissing my skin, my completely naked Beta lying on the warm floorboards near my feet. I sipped my coffee as I listened to Romanus and Naz talking softly in the kitchen while they made breakfast. Charlie was still sound asleep on the rug in front of the fire in the living room. We’d all slept there last night, a tangle of bodies, symphony of soft breaths.

  I ran my toes up and down Rouen's back, and his body was almost liquid in its relaxation.

  It was perfect. I’d thought the word a lot the last couple of days, but I couldn’t think of a better description for this moment in time. Tomorrow, life would restart, my vendetta would resume, and we’d go back to catching bad guys. Today was a moment for just us. Our pack.

  Naz pushed through the screen door and let out a disgruntled huff. “Would it kill you to at least keep on a pair of boxers, dude?” he said to Rouen as he passed me a plate of pancakes with berries and cream. I dug in, suddenly ravenous.

  Rouen didn’t even lift his head from where it was resting on his arms. “Rella is naked too.”

  “Not the same thing. When Rella is naked, I want to ravish her body. When you are naked, staring at your wrinkly old man balls makes me puke in my mouth a little,” Naz teased, walking over to rest his sexy, jean clad ass on the porch rail.

  Rouen sat up and rolled over, staring down at his crotch.

  “My balls are not wrinkly old man balls! They are the epitome of testicular perfection.”

  I laughed, sucking back a chunk of pancake. I coughed hard, and Romanus was there thumping me on the back.

  “Your balls are fine, Rouen. Here, have some pancakes,” he reassured his lover, handing him a plate piled high with pancakes and syrup.

  I swallowed and laughed harder as Rouen took the offered plate. I gave him a mock frown. “Is that a grey hair, you know, down there?” I waggled my eyebrows suggestively.

  His gaze whipped from mine to look at his balls, and then frowned at me. “I don’t have pubes.”

  I was bent over laughing now, and even Rouen was finding it hard not to grin. Romanus leaned over and kissed the top of my head. “Don’t tease our Beta, my Queen.”

  He moved to the chair beside me, trailing his fingers over Rouen's short hair on the way. We hadn’t confirmed Charlie’s place in the pack last night. He wasn’t Alpha though, and everyone seemed okay with waiting to find out.

  As Rouen had said, Betas were a lot more casual about rank compared to Alphas.

  Charlie had been quiet, but it could have been exhaustion. I know I’d been rung out by the time we staggered into the house.

  Still, I tapped my foot anxiously, waiting for him to wake. I wanted to get a read on him now that our emotions weren’t running high from the wedding and the ritual and all the sex.

  I felt Hope's presence in my head only moments before she spoke. I’m not interrupting anything, am I?

  She sounded amused and so happy that I couldn’t help the grin that curled my lips.

  We are having a break from all the orgies. What’s up?

  Hope's laughter trickled down the bond. Just wanted to let you know that I’ve set everything up for you in Calais. You’ll have to meet with the Mayor first, and probably have your picture taken by the press. That’s booked in for the day after tomorrow at ten.

  I mentally groaned. I hated the press.

  Hope made a disapproving noise, then continued. The day after I’ve booked you a one o’clock meeting with John Pierre Romaine, who is as close to an overseer as you’ll find at the Calais camp. It’s unofficial, you know, just people hoping to jump the Channel. Anyway, John Pierre will give you a tour, along with Franco de Moines, who is the Shine Foundation representative at the camp.

  I picked up my phone and wrote down all the details in notes.

  I’ve booked you the presidential suite at the Chateau de Clucave just outside of Calais. I hear the beds are huge, she teased.

  I rolled my eyes than realized that all my guys were looking at me.

  I pointed to my head. “Hope.”

  I’m not sure if that made me sound less insane or more, but they nodded and went back to talking softly.

  So you completed the super secret Gargoyle ritual. It wasn’t a question, because I could feel her rummaging around in my brain, looking at all my bonds. She was curious and I was used to it. Having an empathic sister had meant I was her favorite test subject for practicing her abilities growing up. We had rules of course, she never delved too deep and if I said stop, she pulled out immediately.

  These connections are so much stronger now, since you’ve added Charlie. It’s like you completed a circuit or something. Her mental hands prodded at the bonds in my mind, testing them. Three sets of eyes snapped back to me, and everyone looked concerned. Or weirded out. That was probably a better term.

  Stop playing with the bonds, Hope. You are freaking out the guys.

  She withdrew immediately. Whoops. Sorry. I should go, anyway. Stay safe, Rella.

  I couldn’t guarantee that, so I hedged around it. You too, Hope.

  The connection disappeared, and I shrugged at the guys. “Sorry. She gets curious. I’ll warn her not to play with the bonds next time.”

  Naz shook his head, making the fine black strands shine almost blue in the sun. “I’ll never get how you can just let her dig around in there. It’s so… intrusive.”

  I stood and stretched, appreciating the warm sun on every inch of my skin. The guys watched the movement like hungry predators. I was tempted to take them all back to bed, but I resisted. Downtown needed a break from all the traffic or I was going to end up with friction burn. I watched as Rouen stood as well, his sculpted body uncurling from the floorboards like some sexy golden god.

  Maybe only a short break then.

  He leaned forward and kissed me. “I love that I put that look on your face,” he purred, and it was a sound that went right to my core and made it tingle. Damn sexy gargoyles.

  The door squeaked open, and Charlie stood there looking more vital and alive than I’d ever seen him. He was dressed in jeans and his white shirt, but he’d left the shirt completely unbuttoned. His hair was mussed and his eyes were still hooded from sleep. Or maybe it was from lust, considering he was now taking in my nakedness in one long, slow stare.
/>   He leaned forward and kissed me tenderly, and I sighed against his lips.

  He pulled back and looked at Rouen. “Are you always going to be naked?”

  Rouen shrugged, completely unabashed. “Probably.”

  Naz rolled his eyes and made a disgusted noise, but Charlie just nodded.

  Romanus cleared his throat. “We will give you two a moment alone. Charlie, there are pancakes if you are hungry.” He hustled the other two guys into the house and Charlie sat on the chair I just vacated. He patted his lap and I sat back down. His fingers ran along my arm absently.

  “How are you feeling?” I asked gently, rubbing my cheek against the soft hair on his chest.

  “Good. A little disoriented, I guess. There’s a lot going on up here.” He tapped his head. “I’ve been used to one person in my head, and I mean one was enough, but now there’s four other people banging around inside my brain and it just feels strange. I don’t know how Naz accepted it so easily.”

  I suspected that Naz had deep wells of darkness in his mind, places that he shied from, which our bonds came in and filled. Like filling up mental potholes. Charlie didn’t have that kind of luck, if you could call it unlucky. He’d have to make room for us all himself, and I imagine that wasn’t as easy as it sounds.

  “We have the rest of the day to get used to it, but tomorrow we have to head to Calais. Hope has arranged everything for us to act as delegates of our Foundation. Just gotta shake some hands and we’ll be in.”

  Charlie sighed. “I kind of wanted to stay here forever.” I kissed his chest, smiling as he echoed my own thoughts.

  I felt him suck back a breath and settle himself back into work mode, tension humming through his shoulders. “I guess we have time to watch some B-Grade action footage then. I managed to hack my way into their system and retrieve the data from the SWAT body-cams. Whoever deleted them didn’t know much about computers. Just because you empty the trash can, doesn’t mean your garbage is gone, you know?”

  I nodded, even though I had no idea, but Charlie didn’t care. He’d already moved onto the next thing in that wonderful, strange brain.
