Amira POV

“Ground rules for us being in the same house together. These are only the rules regarding Meda,

however.” I begin, holding. Meda close and looking each man in the eye. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“At the end of the day, Meda is mine and only mine. If any of you try to undermine that, I will take away

your privilege of spending time with her. Second, if I see you holding or treating her incorrectly, I’ll beat

the s**t out of you. Thirdly, if you pester me when I’m having some mommy daughter time with Meda,

I’ll cut your d**k off.” I finish, giving all three of them a pointed look.

“So are you going to stay by us if we’re with her?” Erebus questions, and I grit my teeth. They’re just

using her to get closer to me.

“Argh! You guys can’t use my own baby sister to get time with me! If you spend time with her, it should

be for her. Not for me. We can spend time together away from Meda.”

All the men perk up. “We can?” Erebus asks.

I smile. “Of course not. I just wanted to see if any of you cared about Meda for Meda, and not for me.

So far I know the answer is no for, at least, Erebus- but I was already suspecting that one since he

abused and bullied me for years on end.”

My comment makes Erebus’s face fall.

Damon looks into my eyes. “Baby, I’ve known you for almost two years, and gained your trust at some

point. I’ll love Meda as a baby sister as well. I already do. I mean look at that bundle of adorable, how

can I refuse her?”

Traise my eyebrows.

“Okay, here’s going to be a test. Each of you have thirty seconds’ to hold Meda. If she cries, you don’t

get to spend time with me. If she doesn’t, you can take me out individually wherever and whenever you

want.”

I am completely confident that none of the men will pass, and I keep this in mind with a smug smile on

my face . “Erebus, you’re up first.” I invite, before carefully handing Meda to him. As soon as he takes

her, she’s wailing. I

smirk.

“Fail. Christian, you’re next.”

Christian takes a deep breath, and ever so gently takes Meda. She looks at him with seeming

apprehension, but doesn’t end up crying. I swear under my breath.

“Pass. Damon, your turn.” I grumble. Damon expertly picks up Meda, who instantly melts into his hold,

snuggling up to him. He hands her back to me and fist pumps, and I swear again. “I’m cashing in right

now” Christian says. I raise my eyebrows at him. “Leave Meda with Damon’s parents. They’re great

with her.” I mean, he’s right. Meda has taken a liking to Damon’s parents. With a deep breath, I nod,

and seek out the Alpha and Luna. I’m f****d. After handing Meda over I head to my room, where

Christian is sitting on the bed. “Casual dress” he suggests, before walking out.

I throw on white shorts, a black crop top, and black and white vans before grabbing a satchel bag and

heading downstairs, where Christian is waiting. He looks me up and down.

“You’re really tempting me to take you right here and now, Amira” he says with a groan. Good. I want to

make his life as hellish as he has made mine. “Where are we going?” I question. “It’s a surprise.”
