“Shit.” Brady pulls me back into his arms.
“Shh.” Gavin steps behind me, boxing me in, making me feel safe and loved. “We got you.”
“I’ve wanted this for so long, but never thought I’d ever get it, you know? I’ve tried to get over her, tried to move on. But the love I have for her is so strong. Like my soul calls to her. And now?” I cry harder. “Now, I get to be with her. And start this new beginning. Get the time with her I should have had years ago.”
“Yes, you do.” Brady kisses the top of my head. “And we get to be right there with you.”
“I don’t deserve you two.”
“Don’t say that,” Gavin growls. “You deserve so fucking much, Lulu. And we’re willing to do whatever we can to make sure it happens. We might not be your scent matches, but we may as well be, because we all know what we’ve felt since that day on the side of the road is just as powerful.”
“Ah, I hate to interrupt. But have any of you looked into what a soul bond is?” Nate pipes up.Oops, forgot he was here.
“Soul bond?” I sniff, wiping at my eyes. “No?”
“It’s rare. Even rarer than scent matches, and honestly, it’s not talked about as often as it should. Most people don’t know about it. Anyways, I can’t be sure, because like I said, not much research has been done on it, but my parents are soul bonds, and well, from what you’ve said, there could be a chance you all are too.”
“What does that mean?” Gavin asks. “What does a soul bond do?”
“It’s like a scent match, but it’s not triggered by a smell. It’s by simply being near the person. You get this intense pull towards them, like you have to be near them. Only, soul bonds don’t have to be romantic. It can be whatever you want or need them to be. It just means that person has a connection with you unlike any other.”
“Huh.” I blink up at the guys. “So, in a way, we were always meant to be with each other.”
“Yeah, baby girl.” Brady kisses me softly. “You were always meant to be ours.”
“I’m almost positive Ally and Liam are too. But I haven't brought it up to them yet, because it would have added a whole new load of complications.” He laughs awkwardly.
“Don’t worry.” I smile. “I won’t say anything to them.”
“Thanks.” He smiles gratefully.
It has me wondering,could Ally and I be soul bonds too? I need to look more into this.Now I’m interested.
“Nate?” Gavin asks. “What happens now? I know Ally says we join packs, and we’re not against that. But isn’t she in the middle of a tour?”
“About that,” Ally says, bursting into the room at that moment and making us all jump.
She stands there, grinning wide, this vibrant energy coming off her in waves. She’s so pretty to look at. My heart hurts with how much I’ve missed this woman.
“You’re all coming on the road with me,” she states proudly.
“Ally, we talked about sitting down and having a conversation first,” Liam groans.
“Who has time for that?” Her brows furrow.
“You can’t just tell everyone what to do.”
“Can too,” she mutters.
I can’t help but laugh. It catches her attention, and she smiles brightly at me before rushing over to me.
“Hi–” I hardly get the words out before her lips crash down on mine.
I moan, my body lighting with flames. When I kissed her before, my whole world was turned upside down in the best way possible. Kissing her is like coming home, like breathing in clear, crisp air after being in a polluted city.
Perfect. Energizing. Life.
“Say yes,” she pants against my lips, her eyes flicking between us. “Come with me, Lulu. Come on tour with me. I can’t stand the idea of being away from you. If you say no, I’m cancelling the rest of the tour to stay here with you.”
