Chapter 174 – The Lost Pack (Paige & Ryder) Novel Online Free

“She deserves to relax, maybe with a massage and a candlelit bath?” Parker suggests.

“A nice dinner too,” Ryder adds.

“Good,” I say. “Here’s the plan. Home-cooked dinner. Ryder, can you handle steaks? Parker, you and Remy make the sides and dessert. I’ll set the table and make sure the patrols are rearranged so all of us have the whole night free with her.”

“Got it,” Ryder replies immediately. “What about Jax?”

“You put him to bed after dinner,” I say, glancing at Paige as she tucks a strand of hair behind her ear. “Then we make sure his mum forgets all about meetings, hunters and pack politics for one night.”

“Understood. I take it we are giving her the full experience, then?” Remy asks.

I can’t hide my grin when I respond. “That’s exactly what I’m thinking.”

Paige looks up at me curiously, sensing the flicker of energy from the bond. “You’re plotting something,” she says.

I grin wider, unbothered by being caught. “Maybe. But you’ll have to wait and see.”

Her eyes narrow playfully. “If this involves another training surprise, I swear”

“It doesn’t. I promise”

When we reach the house, Paige runs upstairs to get changed, and we jump straight into action By the time she comes back down wearing one of Parker’s hoodies and her usual leggings, Ryder’s already out the back frying steaks on the barbecue with Jazon. The scent of the cooking meat floats through the open door. Parker is at the counter chopping vegetables, while Remy moves around the kitchen putting the potatoes in the oven and gathering ingredients for a vanilla cheesecake.

Paige stops in the doorway, blinking at them all. “What is this?”

Parker looks up at her and smiles. “Dinner. For our Luna.”

Her eyes widen in surprise, and she smiles warmly. “You guys didn’t have to.”

“We wanted to,” I cut in. “You earned it today.”

By the time we sit down, the table looks like something out of a magazine, with perfectly cooked steaks, roasted potatoes, buttery vegetables, and a bottle of prosecco in a makeshift ice bucket. Laughter fills the house as we eat. Jaxon keeps us entertained with his usual chatter, and I crack jokes just to watch Paige laugh, which is rapidly becoming my favourite addiction. Seeing her so carefree and being surrounded by so much love just does something to me I can’t describe.

After dinner, Parker shoos Paige away from the dishes while Ryder takes Jax to bed and Remy starts running a bath. I rub her shoulders until Remy calls that her bath is ready

The bathroom smells faintly of lavender and vanilla, and candles flicker along the edges.

She takes in the scene and then looks up at me, her eyes full of love. “You planned all this?

“We all did,” I say, stroking my thumb along her jaw. “You deserve everything we can give you, Paige. Tonight’s for you.”

She steps closer, her body pressing against mine, her voice barely above a whisper. “What about you?”

“I’ll be right here,” I promise, pressing a kiss to her forehead. “Just relax. Let us spoil you.” Ryder appears in the doorway a few minutes later, leaning casually against the frame. “Jax is out like a light,” he says. “Parker’s picking a movie.”

Paige sinks into the water, sighing as the warmth surrounds her. I stay beside the tub, watching her eyes flutter closed. Every curve, every breath of her is a reminder of what we were missing before she came here, and what she’s given us since. bfam

When she finally joins us in the living room, wrapped in a bathrobe, the others are sprawled across the couch, waiting. Parker pats the space between him and Remy. Ryder hands her a mug of hot chocolate with a mountain of marshmallows.

The movie plays softly in the background, but none of us are really watching it. Paige’s head rests on Remy’s shoulder, her legs draped over Parker’s lap. My arm is around Remy’s shoulders, and I stroke her hair while Parker massages her thighs. Ryder sits on the floor in front of her, with her hand resting on his shoulder. The bond hums with that quiet, unspoken trust and love of bonded souls, but there’s also a heat simmering just beneath the surface.

By the time the movie ends, Paige’s breathing is slow and even, completely relaxed.

“Bedtime,” Remy says softly.

She hums in agreement, a sleepy little sound that makes me wonder if we should cancel the rest of the plans and let her sleep. I stand and scoop her up before she can protest, her laughter soft against my neck as I carry her upstairs.

“Callen, I can walk,” she says, though she doesn’t actually try to move.

“I know, but I like this better.”

Ryder follows us, his hand brushing her back as I set her down on the bed. Parker and Remy are right behind him, the air shifting the moment the door closes.

Paige looks up at the four of us, her cheeks flushed and her eyes warm and trusting. “You really didn’t have to do all this, but thank you. It’s exactly what I needed,” she whispers.

Remy kneels in front of her, taking her hand and kissing her palm. “We wanted to remind you of what you are,” he says. “Our Luna.”

Parker leans in from behind, pressing his lips to her shoulder. “And our peace,” he adds softly.

Ryder meets my gaze, a silent understanding passing between us as always. Tonight is about connection; we can’t rush this.

I move closer, cupping her cheek, my thumb brushing her bottom lip. “You held yourself like royalty in that room today,” I tell her. “You made them see us differently. You made me see us differently.”

She sucks in a shaky breath. “Callen…”

“Shhh,” I murmur, leaning in to kiss her slowly. Her hand curls in my shirt, pulling me closer.

When Ryder’s hand slides along her thigh, she doesn’t pull away. She just leans back, trusting him. Her breath catches when Parker’s lips find the curve of her neck. Remy stands, pressing a kiss to her temple, his eyes dark but gentle.

The four of us move around her carefully, every touch deliberate. There’s no rush, no need to prove anything. Just warmth and the quiet hum of bond thrumming between us.

** Paige’s POV **

My heart races as my four men surround me. They don’t need to tell me their plan, because I can feel it through the bond; I can feel their need. And their eyes… oh god their eyes as I look between them. There’s a hunger there like nothing I’ve seen before. I can practically feel their eyes on my skin.

I reach for Callen again, and he comes willingly, his lips soft and demanding against mine. Remy mutters something about “taking advantage of his Alpha privileges.”

Callen grins against my mouth. “No one is stopping you from joining in, Beta.”
