From Here to Ecstasy
Chapter 41 - Hearing Voices

Recap:

“Hot damn, Winter, that was sexy!” Micah yelled, to only flush beat red.

“Our mate thinks were sexy. Did you hear that, Winter? Our mate loves us and we need-” my wolf said, only to be cut off by me. She was something else. A hussy, a pervert, and a pain in my ass.

“Take him to the dungeon and lock him down, then maybe we can get some sleep, okay?” Griffith asked as he dragged his hands down his face.

Micah’s POV

I grabbed my mates hands, walking with them to our room. I was dead on my feet and knew we needed more sleep. I had too much work to do with Griffith. I needed to mentally recharge my batteries to deal with all the sorting and paperwork we had yet to go through. I knew Erol, as Griffith calls him, stole a lot of money from this pack. We needed to find where he hid the money or we might be in trouble, although I had a feeling Griffith had money and was using it to keep the pack afloat.

We climbed into bed, not worrying about changing our clothes. We snuggled up and fell asleep quickly. I kept having weird dreams, dreams about battles, and pain. I somehow entered Autumn’s mind. She wasn’t sleeping well due to the dreams she was having, well, more like nightmares. I could tell the nightmares had already happened. I wanted to soothe her but I wasn’t sure how to do it. I went with my gut and hummed a song my mother used to sing to me as a child. She quieted down and I withdrew from her mind.

I finally fell into a deep sleep, without dreams. I wasn’t sure how long I slept before my mates were moving around. They stayed in bed but it was as if they couldn’t settle down enough to stay still. I must have fallen back into a deep sleep, not realizing they had gotten up and were talking.

“Why is he so hot? He feels as if he has been to the sun and back,” Winter asked Autumn.

“I’m not sure. He’s scaring me though. I’m worried the heat could damage him somehow. Maybe one of us should go check with mom?” Autumn sighed.

“I’ll go. Keep him safe. Maybe a cool rag on his face and neck will help.”

I could hear the conversation between them but I couldn’t open my eyes or wake up. What the hell was wrong with me? I’ve never run a fever. I’ve been healthy my entire life. Was it the bruja’s doing or was a virus from touching Anthony? But, if it had been a virus then my mates would have been sick, too.

I heard a swoosh sound. “Mom said it was his new powers coming through. She said to keep him cool, that it shouldn’t be too much longer until he awakens.”

“Okay, thanks, Winter. How about me we both wipe him down? Maybe it will help him to receive his power faster.”

“Yeah. I wonder what his first power will be,” Winter asked as I heard her walk to the ensuite and run water.

First power? Shit! Does this mean I have to go through with this for whatever powers I receive? I sure in the hell hope not. I know I told my mates I would be cool with the powers and pain, but I didn’t plan to feel as if you could fry up the whole packs dinner on my body. I guess I wouldn’t change it for anything. I wanted to be able to better protect my mates. They were tough and sometimes I felt as if I was failing as their mate. I know they didn’t think I was.

Wait! What?

How do I know what they are thinking? I could feel their emotions through our bond. I could hear them talking through the bond. But, I’ve never heard of the bond allowing anyone to know what anyone was thinking. Would I be able to hear anyone else’s thoughts? It seemed as if my mates knew what the person was going to say or do. Why hadn’t I asked them if they could read minds?

I could feel my mates worry through the bond. I could hear their wolves whining and worried about me as they spoke to each other.

The fuck?

Now I could talk or hear their wolves? I could understand the discussion going on between them? I’m losing my mind. I know I am. We can’t…

Shit!

When the dragon shifter was trying to kill us Griffith spoke to all of us, using his wolf. Was this an Alpha trait or was it something to do with the Moon Goddess blessing her grandchildren? Well, hell. I’m an idiot. Both of my mates have Alpha blood. I was sure they had the training inside the office and outside of it. I wasn’t thinking about them being quads. I thought Griffith and Kaden were Alpha’s because they were the oldest boys, but my mates could be Alpha’s if they wanted to. Did I take them away from their calling? I felt my temperature soar higher and my thoughts were cut off.

“We need to get him into some ice. I’ll teleport him into the bathtub. Can you teleport some ice to the tub?” I heard Winter ask Autumn.

I felt as if my body was being lifted without being touched. It is a strange feeling floating. I’m a wolf, not an eagle. I like my feet on the ground. I don’t like flying period. I would have a mild panic attack every time I would have to fly. I felt when my butt hit the bottom of the tub, startling me. I was forgetting what was going on.

I felt the cold water as it filled the tub, then I felt the ice. I sighed in my mind, knowing I would be paying for the relief later. I floated in the water as my mates wiped me down over and over. I couldn’t believe how they took care of me. I knew it wasn’t just the mate bond driving them to take care of me, but the natural caring they had been taught. It made me love them even more.

I was suddenly freezing. I was shaking so bad I was surprised I hadn’t shaken myself out of the tub. All I knew is I needed to get out of the tub and now. I couldn’t take another second of freezing.

“Come on, big guy. Time to get you under the covers,” I heard Autumn say as she teleported me back to the bed. I felt one of them pull the covers over me and lay their hand on my face.

“Time for you to wake up and soon. We’re worried about you, mate,” I heard Winter add as she laid her palm against my cheek.

Then there was pain. Pain so unimaginable that I thought I would die from it. All-encompassing pain in every part of my body. I had never been in pain as bad as this one. I hurt from my head to my toes. My body had locked up tight, causing the pain to be even worse. I couldn't relax my body even if I wanted to. I was trying to take it like a man, but this pain was not one you could take. I opened my mouth and howled.
