Garcia' POV
The first sensation that greets me as consciousness returns is pure bliss - being cocooned between the strong arms of my two mates. Their warmth surrounds me like a protective shield, and I never want this moment to end.
After what happened with Thane, I believed my chance at a mate bond was gone forever. Everyone knows that finding a second connection can take decades, if it happens at all. Yet here I am, barely over a year since I rejected Thane, completely devoted to not one but two incredible men.
The strangest part is that I won't inherit an entire extended family through this bond, and surprisingly, that doesn't concern me. Having Atticus and Collin, along with their close friends, feels like more than enough. Their circle has become my world.
