When they pulled back, they realized that their other mates were watching them avidly. January merely shot them a smile. "Glad to see you're awake, my loves," he greeted them.

Before Mateo, Quinlan, and Elias got ready to pounce on them in a whirling vortex of lust and hormones, the sound of the doorbell ringing drew their attention to the front door. Pax stood up and pulled on some clothes. "I'll go see who it is," he said as he headed towards the entrance.

When the werewolf opened the door, he was relieved to see that the sky had started to darken. Having a new vampire for a mate meant that they had to be quite careful about exposing him to sunlight. As Pax held the door even further open, he was greeted by the sight of his cousin Maribelle and a fair-skinned man. Since he had an arm around Mari's waist, the werewolf assumed that he must be her human mate.

"Hey cuz!" Maribelle practically squealed. "This is my mate. Sweetie, this is my favorite cousin. Practically a brother to me."

"Pax," Pax stated as he extended his hand in greeting.

The brown-haired man shook his hand firmly. "Klaude. It's nice to meet you."

"Come on in. Have a seat in the living room," the silver-haired werewolf urged.

When Pax returned to the bedroom to let the others know they had visitors, he noted that everyone had quickly dressed. They were all fussing over Nolan, making sure he was comfortable in the clothes they'd found for him. The clothing included some of Eli's that were a bit big on the Omega. Nolan seemed to be eating up the attention. The vampire was smiling shyly as he hugged Quinlan's arm to his chest and Mateo had an arm across Nolan's shoulder. The slender vampire was practically glowing with happiness.

The sight made Pax's heart skip a beat. He cleared his throat to address them. "My cousin Maribelle is here along with her mate," he announced.

"Should I hide?" Nolan's eyes widened as he hugged Quinlan's arm tighter.

A small pleased sound squeezed past Quin's lip at the motion. Nolan's touch affected him in many ways, but he wouldn't trade the feeling for anything. He really enjoyed the vampire clinging to him. Hell, he never wanted him to let go.

"Maribelle already knows about me," January explained as he pressed a gentle hand on the top of Nolan's head. "We trust her with the truth."

Nolan nodded, staying plastered to Quin's side as they made their way out to the living room. The human certainly didn't object, although Mateo looked a bit jealous of the blond. Mat seemed happier when Elias took his hand, however, and smiled up at him.

"Hey, Maribelle," Eli chirped when they entered the living room, swinging their clasped hands between them. "How's mated life treating you?"

A vivid blush formed on the young woman's face and she began to stutter. As she moved, Elias could clearly see that the top of her earrings were now a hazel shade blending into the aquamarine. "I-it's fine. A-amazing even," she responded as she avoided looking into her mate's eyes and began to fan herself with a hand. "Is it a little hot in here?"

Jany couldn't help but snicker at the sight as the group approached the couple. "My name is January," he introduced himself to Mari's mate. "That's Elias right there," he motioned with a nod. "Mateo here beside me, Quinlan, and our newest mate Nolan beside him."

"Another one?" Maribelle questioned aloud as she sent a glare at Pax. "When did this happen?"

"Only several hours ago!" Pax defended himself, holding out his hands in surrender.
