I have to pick up my youngest from school now, but had time to write this quickly :D Hope you like it!! Can't wait to share more. O and your gems will expire soon (end of the month), so don't forget to use them either here or on another story you love :)
Zev’s povPerhaps my concern for Lana stemmed from the recent letters I received from my penpal. Or, as she called herself, shy girl. SG. She started calling me KS, kind stranger.There wasn’t really a point to knowing her name. I would never meet her. There wasn’t a need to know her name or see her face. Yet when I did try to picture what she looked like, Atalanta’s face kept popping up.Maybe because they were similar in a way.Like Atalanta, SG had gone through so much. But she was actually brave enough to tell me.After I shared about my dad, SG wrote about her home life.The part that hurt the most was when she spoke about the neglect.“When I was young, I did anything I could to gain their attention. Being ignored was so painful, especially when I saw how they loved my brother. I didn’t exist to them unless I misbehaved.So whatever task they gave me, I would do it wrong on purpose. I knew they'd yell at me or punish me. Isn’t that pathetic?I wish I could say I’ve gotten used to
Atalanta’s povIt felt like there was a large rock in my stomach and a smaller one in my throat. All I wanted to do was cry. I felt so guilty about what I had done.Not just because of the way Zev reacted, but because it was wrong to kiss a werewolf in the first place.It went against everything my parents taught me.“Little Mouse, you did nothing wrong.” Raiden told me during breakfast. “We did nothing wrong.”But it didn’t feel like it. I had enjoyed kissing Raiden, so that must make me evil, right? Doing something so wrong, so dirty? Like kissing an animal, my parents would say.There was almost nobody here at school. There were maybe ten students total, and it felt very strange—almost forbidden to stay here.Suzie had suggested I come with her, and I wish I could have said yes. General Sweets had asked if I could look around and see what I could find. But Raiden was practically glued to me. It was sweet that he cared, but it made me feel even more guilty.He cared, but he didn’t re
Atalanta's pov“Is this some competition? Let’s see who Lana likes better. Let’s see if the guy who has kissed more girls than he can count can compete with the virgin best friend.” Zev scoffed, but he didn’t let go of my hand.“No, Zev.” Raiden said. “Just admit it, it feels right, the three of us. Doesn’t it?”Zev looked at me and grabbed a lock of my hair, twirling it around his finger while he thought about what Raiden just said.Raiden put me on his lap, facing Zev.“Take her face in your hands,” Raiden said to Zev. It didn’t feel like an order, but like he was trying to help Zev.“Are you sure?” Zev whispered, looking into my eyes for any signs, as he slowly did what Raiden had instructed him.“Yes.” I said. If Archer was going to tell everyone what I did, my life was already over anyway. It didn’t matter anymore what I did. And I wanted this. I wanted both of them.Before Zev could make the first move, I had already placed my lips on his. His hands were on my face, pulling me cl
Zev’s povWhen Raiden left, Lana looked at me with a sad smile.What was going on in that beautiful head of hers?“It’s weird, right?” I chuckled nervously, wishing I had some clothes on. “Maybe we should get dressed. Or shower?”“Together?” she asked shyly.Goddess, she keeps surprising me. She had found ways to reassure me every step of the way, knowing how this all made me feel without even saying a word.Raiden too. He knew I was worried and overthinking everything, and every time he told me what to do, I could shut off my mind for a bit.In those moments, I forgot about my plans. Forget about what happened to my family. But now I’m back on earth, and I can’t stop thinking about the consequences of our actions.The connection I felt to Lana was so intense that I kept wondering if she could be my mate. But then, what was Raiden’s part in all of this?He might be fine sharing now, but nobody shares their Luna. Not even Raiden.But even if Lana is my partner, it doesn't change anythin
Raiden’s povThe moment I left to get food, I felt nervous. In our room, everything felt safe and fine. I didn’t care if what we were doing was considered wrong by some people.When I was in there with my best friend and our mouse, things felt right.But while I was getting food, I started worrying about Zev.I have had casual hookups. Damn, I have only had casual hookups. But this was his first kiss, his first everything. Same goes for Atalanta.As good as the three of us feel, this can’t last.There’s no such thing as an alpha with a shared mate. It just doesn’t happen. And besides, someone like Atalanta could never be my mate.She’s not the type of Luna our pack needs. Or that I need.I need someone who will challenge me, not someone who is afraid to say no.But that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy what we have now. And I plan to enjoy our little mouse in every way she allows it.This new talkative Atalanta is sexy as hell. The way she just grabbed Zev to kiss him. The way she took him
Atalanta’s povAfter Raiden offered to help me heal faster, which meant licking me everywhere I was sore, we all decided to watch a movie together.Zev had placed both his and Raiden’s matrass on the floor and propped up pillows so we could use it as a couch, while Raiden hooked up his laptop to a projector.I didn’t even know this existed, but suddenly the wall turned into a huge screen.“Like going to the movie theater,” Zev said.“Uhuh.” I replied, not wanting to admit I had never been to one.Today had been freeing, knowing soon it would all be over. Telling them everything and revealing who I was didn’t feel like an option, though. I might not have been fair to them, but this was the only way I could have them.The only way I could be happy.And God, did I feel happy.It was like a dream. Literally, because I had dreamed about the two of them. But to actually be with them? Together?I had never experienced pleasure like that. Never experienced feeling so wanted and liked. I had ne
Raiden’s povZev was a damn mess; little mouse snuck off to her room.This is not how I pictured the rest of the weekend. I thought we’d have a sex fest. I mean, it’s only one weekend, and I want to use every minute of it.I am aware that they’re both dealing with their crap. As am I, although my crap is a lot less serious than theirs.To summarize, I don’t think Atalanta is my mate and don’t want to fall in love with her. Which is getting harder by the second. So after this weekend, I’ll need to go back to being her friend, for her sake and mine.Zev... well, Zev has gone from keeping everyone at a distance to double-penetrating a girl with me. Yeah, he’s obviously going through an existential crisis right now because everything he tried to do has failed. He likes our mouse. It’s clear as day. He’s so gentle with him. It’s not just lust, and it will be really hard for him to reject her if she’s his mate. Which wouldn’t surprise me because of the connection they share.But then I wou
Zev’s povWe spent the rest of Sunday training, studying, eating, and walking around the empty school. We all acted like things were fine, but there was a tension there that was hard to ignore.Every time Lana sat near me, I wanted to touch her. But I knew better.We were honoring her wishes and, at the same time, keeping our hearts safe.It had been getting more difficult to keep my dad out of my head, knowing that the closer I got to Lana, the likelier the chance of me losing control one day.Maybe I get lucky, and maybe my mate won’t die, but that’s not something you can predict. It is better to avoid accepting my mate entirely than risking the chance of turning into my father.And what’s to say—something else couldn’t trigger me from turning into a raging lunatic? What if it’s seeing my mate with another man?It’s too dangerous. Even if there's only a small chance of something happening to me, like what happened to my dad, I can't risk it. Who would I hurt in the process? If my dad
