Sebastian POV The first island finally came into view just as the sun was beginning to set. It was unlike anything I had ever seen. Vast and foreign, the landscape was filled with towering cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and thick forests that seemed to hum with ancient power. The air itself felt charged, buzzing with a magic I couldn't quite describe. The beauty of it all was overwhelming, like the island was something out of a dream, too surreal to be real. But even that magic couldn't lift the weight in my chest. As soon as we docked, I took off. I heard them last night, I heard her moans of passion and his dick-ass wolf punishing her for my faults. Gabe was jealous, rightfully so, but I didn't care. She was mine, was always supposed to be mine. Yet somehow I'm here, alone and without her. Ruby's mark laid on my neck like a damn scar instead of mark of our love. I dreamt of her for years, night and night, different versions of Ruby and who we could become together. Never, even in
Gabe POV The island was something else, but to me, it was familiar. I grew up on islands like this one, far away from the strict rules and tall walls that Ruby had always known. Out here, life felt wilder, freer, as if the sea itself called the shots instead of the Moon Goddess. The trees bent low toward the shoreline like they were reaching for the water, and the air smelled of salt and freedom. For Ruby, though, this was all new. She looked around, wide-eyed, like she couldn't believe this kind of beauty even existed. She had spent her life behind those high walls, where her pack kept to their traditions, where Lupa's influence was constant and inescapable. Here, there was none of that. The moon didn't seem to control anything. It was as if this place had its own rules, its own magic. "This place is beautiful," she whispered, her fingers brushing against a wildflower she'd picked from the path. There was a softness in her voice I hadn't heard in a long time. It was relaxed, like
Ruby POV We moved quickly, our footsteps silent against the dirt path as if we both knew instinctively that speaking out loud would disturb something we didn't want to awaken. I kept close to Gabe, his presence steadying me, but my nerves hummed with unease. The trees parted suddenly, revealing a small village clinging to the coastline like it had been forgotten by time. The sight wasn't reassuring. The village was worn down with wooden huts, barely standing, leaned toward the ocean as if they might collapse any day. The roofs were patched with thatch, old nets hung limply from poles, and the boats bobbing in the shallow water were barely holding together. Fishermen along the shore worked slowly, as if they had resigned themselves to some greater loss than just a bad catch. They looked like men who'd seen too much. I glanced at Gabe, catching his eye. He must have felt it too, the strange tension hanging in the air, thick and almost tangible. This place was wrong. I could feel it i
Sebastian POV I froze, staring at her, unable to move or speak. She moved with a grace that was almost inhuman, her light blue dress swaying gently around her legs as she approached. My heart pounded, not with fear, but with something else, something primal. For a moment, the curse, the darkness, everything inside me fell silent, replaced by an overwhelming sense of awe. "Lost, are you?" she said, her voice soft and melodic, yet there was a teasing edge to it. Her eyes, the palest blue I'd ever seen, locked onto mine, and I felt like I was drowning in them. I swallowed hard, my body tensing. Every instinct I had screamed at me to stay on guard, but something about her pulled me in. She felt familiar yet otherworldly, like a forgotten dream. "I... I don't know where I'm going," I muttered, barely managing to get the words out. My voice sounded distant, weak, as if I wasn't really here anymore. She tilted her head, studying me with unnerving calm, her gaze drifting over the grime
Ruby POV I never wanted to make that choice. But in that moment, as chaos ripped through the village and the world felt like it was collapsing around me, I had to choose. Sebastian or Gabe. The thought churned in my stomach like poison. My heart screamed to go to Sebastian. He had been my best friend for years, the one person who had seen me through everything. But Gabe, Gabe was my mate. The bond between us was undeniable, deeper than blood, deeper than friendship. And the cruel truth was that being a mate meant I had to be at his side, above all else. I turned toward him, ignoring the flash of hurt I saw in Sebastian's eyes. My magic surged in my veins, dark fog wrapping around my body as I pushed back the villagers, cutting a path toward Gabe. His claws clashed against spears, his movements growing sluggish as more and more of them attacked. With a flick of my wrist, a bolt of white-hot energy shot from my hand, sending three villagers flying back. "Hold on!" I shouted, rushin
Gabe POV The wind howled like a beast, tearing through the sails and whipping saltwater across the deck. Every muscle in my body strained as I gripped the wheel, trying to keep the boat steady in the face of the storm. But it wasn't just the storm raging outside, it was the one in my head. Ruby had chosen me. In that split second when everything was falling apart, when she had to choose, she'd come to me. Her mate. I should've felt relief, gratitude even, but all I felt was guilt. Because the other truth, the one I hadn't wanted to face, hit me just as hard. Sebastian also chose us. He chose her. Over the madness, over the darkness, over the power that could have consumed him. He fought for us, saved us. Ruby was his salvation, which meant she was the key to saving us all, not Sebastian. But something was broken now. It wasn't just the storm ripping our world apart, it was the bond between them. I'd shattered it, hadn't I? I glanced over my shoulder at Sebastian, his silhouette
Sebastian POV My mind was a mess of thoughts. We barely escaped death multiple times in the last few months, and I was the root cause just about every time. I looked at Ruby, clothes soaked through and purple crystal humming with a glow. It seemed to be draining her magic, yet she made no effort to simply remove it. She was connected to all of this, and I needed to get a grip of what that meant before I lost her. It didn't matter she chose Gabe, or that he was the one that ended up as her mate. All that matters is that she is safe, alive and breathing in this world. I needed to focus, to get a grip on what was important, or I would be the one that killed her. I can't be that monster. "We should clean up." I looked over my soaked clothes. "The threat seems to be gone... for now." I sighed as I glanced over the dark skies. The stars began shining through and the waters gentle swayed below us. "Yeah, let's head under and changed into something warmer." Gabe's hands smoothed over Rub
Gabe POV Finally these two idiots understood just as I did. Ruby belonged to both of us. We needed her in every way. "Kneel before your Alpha, Ruby." I commanded and she did just as I said. Sebastian watched her in utter disbelief. His wolf still forward, pushing him to allow all the sin to happen. "Good little wolf." I moved behind her, my hand gently petting her hair. "Now remove his pants." I continued to praise her, my hand gently soothing her as she listened so obediently. My chest grumbled, watching my Alpha's thick cock spring free. He was going to destroy our little mate, and I couldn't wait to watch. "Now, suck him off, just like a five-dollar whore would." I chuckled, loving the power I exerted right now. Sebastian was silent, shifting uncomfortably on his feet, watching in aw how Ruby submitted to us. I knew he never command a woman, definitely not while another man watched, but he was enjoying it. We were Alphas and we needed more than just a release of cum. We nee
Ruby POVThe moment their canines left my neck, everything inside me snapped into place. The bond, the one I had waited for my whole life, finally completed itself, like a string pulled taut and then gently released, humming with energy. It was more than just a connection; it was a merging of souls. I felt Gabe and Sebastian inside me, their love, their power, and their wolves. It was so wild and untamed, settling deep into my spirit like missing pieces.Then I felt Scarlet. She surged through me, fierce and powerful, filling every inch of my body. I hadn't felt her like this in so long. I gasped, feeling her strength, her desire to protect, her joy at being whole again."Scarlet?" I called out, feeling her presence entwined with mine."I'm here, Ruby. We're one again, truly one." Her strong and comforting voice echoed inside my mind. There was no more fear or separation, only us, two halves of the same soul reunited. But there's something more, something pushing against us. Do you fe
Sebastian POV"We will always be together, Ruby." I kissed her slowly, Gabe's hands running up and down my back and then I felt his tongue between ours and smiled. "Always." Gabe whispered, kissing her along side me, our tongues all mingling as we shared her together, taking turns with her lips."You two are so overwhelming, and I love it. I love you." Ruby barely got the words out as we sat all tangled together. "It's time." She whined, turning her body on top of me. Her back rested to my chest, and her hands separate her cheeks so my tip teased the brim of her ass. I needed to feel her, every day, I needed to be inside her. "Goddess, you know how to handle two mates perfectly, little girl." I kissed her neck, my hand holding my cock as she slowly sank down, jolting and moaning as I stretched her walls more and more."Beautiful, little wolf." Gabe pinched her chin, kissing her as my lips peppered her neck. "Take me at the same time, please, Alpha." She begged Gabe. We both let out
Gabe POVI ran through the woods, chasing my wife's scent, the moon high in the sky guiding me toward her. I knew exactly where she was heading. It was almost time, but first, a little fun.I shifted into Ragnar, letting my wolf take over, his paws pounding the earth as we hunted. It had been three days since I last touched her, and apart from the quickie Sebastian and I just had, I haven't felt a release in too long. I was saving everything for tonight, and the anticipation was driving me wild.Ragnar halted as we reached the hill overlooking the lake. Ruby stood there, barefoot in a small white dress, her head slightly turned, already sensing me. She giggled, sliding one strap off her shoulder, teasing me as she undressed.I heard footsteps and growls approaching, Sebastian was closing in. Ragnar lifted his head to the moon, praying and cursing Lupa to make this night something other than the nightmare we feared. As I howled into the sky, I made a silent vow: if they took my mate fr
Sebastian POVAfter our wedding, everyone gathered in the center of town for a grand celebration, honoring not only our union but also Ruby's birthday. Each street was decorated with a different theme: one for the wedding, another for a baby shower, one for Ruby's birthday, and finally, a street celebrating the world's next Alphas and Luna.I wasn't sure if my mom had planned it all to get the celebrations out of the way, fearing Ruby might not survive the night. Or if maybe she was worried about herself. Over the past week, my mom had aged drastically, her hair had turned grey, and her skin had become fragile. Losing Athena had taken a heavy toll on her body, and I could see the fear in my fathers' eyes that they might lose her sooner than expected."She'll be here for a long time. Have faith," Ruby's soft voice came from behind me as she wrapped her arms around my waist."Yeah, I'm trying." I turned and pulled her into my arms, leaning down to steal a kiss. She had lost her heels an
Ruby POVI did it! Somehow, I had everything I ever wanted. I looked over at my family; my mom, held by my dad as she cried, my two sisters, with whom I was just beginning to form a real relationship, and Sheila, who somehow felt more like a twin to me. Her mate had finally returned, after walking through war and hell to find her, and now, he held her tightly in his arms. We shared a brief glance, a silent understanding that the one thing we all needed was love. Whether it came from a lover, a friend, or family, it didn't matter. We just needed to feel connected, to belong. And now, we had that."We will always do right by you, Ruby," Sebastian vowed, drawing my focus back to where I stood with my two mates. We had an entire world ahead of us, but right here, in this moment, they were all I needed."We will always protect and defend our Luna," Gabe added, his voice strong and certain."We will love and cherish every moment you're by our side," Sebastian continued."And we will fulfill
Gabe POVI stood before the Southern Pack, with members of my own pack mixed in among the crowd below. My nerves were on edge as the weight of my new reality crashed down on me. I was about to become Alpha of them all. For so long, I thought my purpose was to break the world and rebuild it alongside my father, Dietus. But I had been wrong.I was meant to rebuild, yes, but not through destruction. My mother was gone. Lupa and Dietus were gone. The past no longer held me down. Now, it was just me, a man in love with two incredible people, ready to embrace the new life we would make together.To my surprise, every pack member seemed to rejoice for us. They were welcoming of our union, and accepting of the shared Alpha role Sebastian and I planned to take. It had never been done before, two Alphas, mates, leading together, but we were one soul divided at birth, and now we would spend eternity as a whole."We hope you all join us for the celebrations," I concluded my speech, taking Sebasti
Ruby POVI couldn't believe I was awake and alive. My hands roamed over my Alphas that squished my small body between them. I really thought I was dying last night, but then it hit me. I was in a crazy, painful heat because they had marked each other. I never wanted to feel that pain again, but I had to admit it was worth it. I felt them so much more connected now, and we had amazing sex. 'Take them again.' Scarlet begged.'We have to get home. No more sex until after our wedding Scarlet.' I said, gently lifting from the bed. Sebastian moved over and pulled Gabe into his arms. Scarlet and I both whined looking over them.'Why deny ourselves all that?' She purred, watching our Alpha's hands roam all over the other's body. 'They will wake up super horny, and once they see the marks they left on me, it will drive them crazy. Last night was too close of a call. If they mark me before the full moon it all falls apart.''You don't know that.' Scarlet whined as I dressed quickly, sneaking
Sebastian POV"That was the best sex I ever had. I think that was better than knotting." I wiped the sweat from my forehead as Ruby completely passed out in Gabe's arms."She wears out quickly." He chuckled, picking her up to bring to the bathroom. I heard the bath running and chuckled as I looked down at my dick. "How are you hard again?" I asked. There was no pleasing him. I stomped my way to the bathroom, watching Gabe gently wash Ruby's body in a warm bath. His fingers played with her breast, right over my mark. I loved claiming that body and I think even after I mark her on her neck, I'll still bite the shit out of her."Stand up!" I ordered him."What?" He laughed looking behind me. "Oh! I see." He stood slowly, hands running over his body to tease me. "Bend over right there and take my dick like a good Alpha." I demanded, jerking off as I watched both my mates."I knew we would have a long night." Gabe chuckled, hands grabbing the side of the tub as he wiggled that ass to me
Ruby POV"Ruby? What's wrong!" Gabe shouted at me, barreling through the door and scooping me right in his arms. I crawled into a tight ball in his lap, the pain inside me ten folds, but slowly embedding away with his touch."Don't let me go." I pleaded. "Please, don't let me go.""What's wrong with her?" Sebastian was at my side, brushing my hair from my face when something burst inside me. "We shouldn't had left her alone!" Gabe growled at Sebastian. "We are so sorry, Ruby. We won't ever leave you again." Sebastian had so much worry in his eyes. "We should mark her! We fucked up by marking each other and now she is in some weird heat that is killing her." Gabe looked to Sebastian and I glanced at his neck. A purr rumbled through me as I glanced at Sebastian, a mark clearly printed there. They did it! They were one. "Just shut up and fuck me! Both of you!" I yelled at them, grabbing Sebastian chest and pushing him on his back. "Gabe! Get behind me. Fuck me, fill me, and do it fa
