Willa's POV
He was quicker than I thought. By the time I turned around, he already stood up straight.
This time he was very naked.
I thought he would turn around or shift but he didn't move. He just stood there with his pants held in his hand, eyes flickering with a dedicated look.
He was talking to Cerberus.
Then the lines of his body consumed my attention. I stared at him, eyes trailing down his body. I knew Cerberus was huge, but I didn't think the size of your wolf had anything to do with the size of your body parts.
And Al was huge.
I wondered if he had to pay when he went to the whorehouse. I doubt any woman would not want to have sex with him, or could ever find enjoyment from other men even closer compared to what they got from him.
Though being a werewolf, I had seen men naked more than I ever wanted. It was just daily life experience. But seeing Al naked was different. A flame burst out in me the moment I laid
Willa was born to ride Alphas :)
Taran's POV I stopped a few times on the way to rest, as well as on the snow line. Willa needed to put on heavier clothes as the temperature reduced much with every mile we climb. It took us a few hours to reach the mountain top. Willa put tiny force on my shoulder blades to hold her position on my back as if worrying that would hurt me. Little did she know her soft touch was more dangerous because instead of hurting me, she was tickling my heart. The longing for her got more and more unbearable as I spent more time with her. When we got the peak, the sun was almost up. There was a hidden cave on the top, not too far from the edge. I let Willa down at the entry of the cave before I went in to put my cloth on. Willa was pouting when I stopped her from following me in. She was NOT making the two months waiting any easier for me. I could hear her pacing around at the entry, waiting impatiently. Or maybe she was jus
Willa's POV Al knelt on one knee, gazing at me with a defeated smile. I waited, my heart pounding fast. He sighed and hesitated, but then he reached out and grabbed my fingers before he pressed his lips on them: "I'm at your command, my queen." I giggled and pulled him up: "Also I promised granny no sex before my 18th birthday, so you were never in danger from me." I already went against the first rule of no relationship before 18, but Al didn't need to know that. Besides, what harm could love to bring? Al let out a surprised laugh before sighing as he followed my lead to the edge of the mountain: "I told you, I never stood a chance protecting myself against you." I burst into laughter. Though to be honest, I didn't know any soul-stealing spell for real. "Then you are in luck that I'm in love with you." I sat on the edge of the mountain, and Al followed, not one step away. "Pretty sure I lured you to fall in lov
Willa's POV [Kirsch!] I got the mind link through right away, [I'm alright! Al is in pain though--] I looked up, and Al smiled bitterly after one glance at my eyes to know I was mind linking. "Is it Kirsch?" Al asked, his voice hoarse and shivering, "Ask him whether his torture turned better or worse." I felt like he said it as a joke, but I couldn't understand it. [He will be fine, don't worry about it. Just give him a minute.] Kirsch's voice was hoarse as well, as if he just shouted at the top of his lung for a very long time. That was understandable though, he had been suffering a wolfsabne attack. [Hmm, Al said to ask you...] I hesitated for a second, feeling kind of bad to tease Kirsch when he was in pain. But just then, Al's voice kicked in the mind link-- [Cerise, enjoying the splash of color there?] Al's voice sounded tired, but he seemed to be in a joking mood. It was the first time I mind linked Al. When he mi
Willa's POV Al chuckled at Kirsch's embarrassed escaping. I buried my face in his chest, my head steaming. "You could have pushed me away..." I murmured, my voice muffled because I wouldn't let Al see my burning face. "I didn't want to do that," Al sighed with a defeated laugh, nipping me on the ear tip, adding, "I could never." "I wouldn't want to cause you pain if I had known!" I protested in shock, staring at him with disbelief. "I know," Al chuckled, "But there's also the fun part--" I buried my face back into his chest again, somehow blushing even more. Al burst into laughter. Though it was freezing cold on the snow mountain top, it was bearable after the sun came out. We stroll around the mountain top for hours, exchanging stories. Well, it was mainly my stories when Al just smiled and listened, asking questions that made me spill more of my past. Until-- My stomach rumbled before I even re
Willa's POV Cerberus's hunting style made me feel like the rabbit. [Is it worth it? To struggle for life when you see no hope? In the end, it might only prolong the suffering. If the prey just gives up, it would only be a quick death.] I mumbled, suddenly lost faith in granny's fairytale. I had been under the dark claw of the poison my whole life. I got away with its claw every month yet I never felt I could escape. Al fell silent with me. [It's worth it.] Kirsch's sudden rose of voice pulled my mind back, [Every second, every split of second with your heart beating, your blood pumping in your veins for the chase of life is much colorful and brighter than death. If the eternal rest is the destination for all, then why rush into it?] [Thanks, Kirsch.] I could feel that Al also relaxed at Kirsch's comfort. "Cerberus. Did you kill it?" I slid off his back, and Cerberus rose his head, searching for me with his paws still pressed on
Willa's POV Al planted a kiss on my head before he gazed into my eyes. The dim light in the cave painted his blue eyes a shade of grey, like the sea under the night. I wished he really could summon thunder, like the cursed story. But I knew he couldn't. I couldn't even do that, not without granny. "Don't look so sad, little one," Al tugged the edge of his mouth. He tipped my chin up and pecked lightly on my lips, "I promised to live for you, didn't I?" "You did! You are not allowed to die!" I blurted and buried my face in his chest. He would see my tears if I didn't. "And I won't. I will always come back to you, I promise." Al stroked my hair. His rough voice soothed my fear. I nodded and Al finally let go of me, heading for the entrance of the cave. I had never wished I had my wolf more than that moment. I wished I could fight by his side instead of hiding behind him, watching him risk his life for me. I gripped on the
Willa's POV [I have to help him!] I told Kirsch as I pulled out my knife. I could help, at least for a little bit. There was no way Al could defeat seven warriors in their full wolf forms. [Willa, you might not want to see this part.] Kirsch suddenly warned, [I think it would better if you--] [I can't hide away and let them kill Al!] I shouted, realizing my body was shaking in fear at that thought. My whole life, I had been in this horrible situation where people have to fight for me while I hide behind them doing nothing! [They can't. In the worst scenario, he would just shift.] Kirsch sighed. His tone was heavy. I failed to understand him. [What?] I murmured, a cold shiver ran down my spine as my brain understood his words faster than me. [Willa...] Kirsch sighed, closing his eyes, [If they know he is the mad rogue, they would...] [Hunt him down.] I murmured, finishing his sentence as horror took over me. So...what? Al was ju
Willa's POV I could see through the mindlink that Al grabbed the bottom jaw of the wolf and landed his right foot on its upper jaw. The wolf realized his mouth was going to be torn open and he let go of Al immediately, jumping back with his lips pulled back and baring his teeth. Blood was dripping from Al. Only one wolf left outside, it was the one with his throat kicked in by Al a moment ago. Al was safe. I thought in relief, and that was when I felt hot breath reaching the back of my neck. I turned as I swung my wounded hand at the wolf. I wanted to throw my blood at his face but he was too close. I hit him right on the face and my wrist snapped backward. But I got his mouth and nose! That was it! I got him! Though Kirsch might see through my secret, I could always explain. I took my broken wrist into my left hand as I stepped backward slowly, ready to face Kirsch's questions when that wolf falls down and whimpers in pain.
Kirsch's POVI really thought Stone would make at least SOME suspicous move when he comes over, but he didn't.All he did, he did right in front of my eyes, at his invitation. I knew he was trying to gaining my trust by asking me to participate in everything, but something felt off, and I couldn't quite pin it.The most frustrating part was, I couldn't catch him with anything when it felt like it was right in front of my eyes."Ready for our date, Alpha Kirsch?" Stone was still in his human form when I came out in my wolf form. He would try to stay as long as he could in his human form whenever he was over in the pack, and I talked about that with Rudy, we both agreed that Stone was trying to lower our guard by showing up harmless, which was the most dangerous disguise.I wasn't falling for that.And the most annoying part, was his constant effort on starting a conversation."I proposed that we go North today because of the recent event." Stone walked by my side and Rudy started runni
Taran's POVDays passed, but everything seemed fine.Kirsch kept a regular daily report, but mostly about how Stone sent over people for some non-important spots on patrol, and Kirsch has sent men over, too. Every time Stone came over to our pack, he would inform Kirsch, and do a regular patrol together with Kirsch. As much as Kirsch hated it, it was better that Stone was kept under his nose.I know I'm not imagining it that Willa, or should I say, Nox, had been less happy ever since Kirsch left. Though I kept her company -- or rather -- she wouldn't let me go anywhere without her attached on my waist, there was always this gloomy cloud in her eyes that no amount of ice cream could chase away.Yep, ice cream.Lived a thousand lives in misery, ice cream has become the dark goddess's one solace that she can face without guilt.I feel like she felt guilty toward me, and I don't know why.All I knew was, I was able to get the magic about draining one's blood out of her that day, and even
Kirsch's POVIt wasn't like Stone would make his move right there at the Treaty.Taran and Willa hurried back in a couple of hours, at which time Stone already left the Treaty."So we have the time all to ourselves now?!" Willa cheered, bouncing on the bed at that news, "Great!"Leaning on the door frame, Taran shot Willa a weird look hearing that, but he didn't put in a comment."It can't be good that Stone chose to work with me," I frowned in deep thought. There is a mountain between our packs, and now we have to share the patrol duty, we have to exchange people, "I'll head back first. You guys can stay here and enjoy the vacation."I don't know how to trust anyone Stone might send."We need to stay together," Taran suddenly said, his eyes on the floor with his arms folded in front of him, "we don't know what Stone is up to, but if there is anything he desires from us, it's within the three of us.""But I don't want to go yet..." Willa pouted, begging Taran, "Please, please? I have
Kirsch's POV"So you are telling me, he's actually part of the Treaty now?!" I turned to Powell with disbelief. The first thing I saw after I went into the meeting room, I couldn't believe --It was Stone, sitting in the second chair to the chairman of the Treaty.And something was different about him -- something besides the fact that he got a whole new arm.Turning his ring in a leisurely way, Stone smirked without looking at me: "I never knew the Treaty treats Alphas so poorly.""Stone Hayes is our new thirteenth Alpha," Powell turned to me with a sullen look, "pay some due respect, Kirsch."I frowned at Powell: "Well, you have changed! What got into you?"Not that I expected Powell to support me for our history's sake, but he had always been disapproval of Stone before this -- well, before the Treaty suddenly turned on Taran.[Don't push them too far,] Taran's voice suddenly rose in my head -- Rudy mindlinked him when we saw Stone there in the room, [I'm afraid Powell is no longer
Kirsch's POVI wanted to stay on the sofa -- actually, I wanted to die on the sofa. There was nothing that could ever lure me more than sex with both of my mates.Taran pulled out first.He handed the drunk, melted kitten over to me with a soft voice: "Take her to bed, will you? I'll go fetch some clean towels."Willa let out a protesting whimper when Taran was no longer inside her, but there was zero energy left in her to do anything more than that.I pulled her close, supporting her body with my hands under her thighs as I walked over to the bed."Owww..." Willa moaned faintly with a mild smile, liking the little tingles my cock spread inside her with the movement."Greedy little kitten," I mumbled with a chuckle, leaving kisses on her lips and chin and neck after I put her onto the bed before I pulled out slowly.She dragged me on my shoulder and pulled me into bed with her before she snuggled into my arms and closed her eyes with a naughty smile."I REALLY have to attend the meeti
Kirsch's POV I didn't even know when Taran stopped, just so he wouldn't distract her, but I surely felt it when he started again-- Without even giving her time to answer Rudy, Taran rammed into her, making her gasp in the sudden pleasure, and she took our lips into a firey kiss as she moved over our tip. Rudy let go of her hand and gave me control. [What was that--] I started, struggling between the waves of tingles spreading over my body. [You have a more urgent problem at hand,] Rudy nudged me with a grin, [make her happy or I will!] I believe I stopped paying attention to him halfway through his nagging. Taran let go of Willa, leaving her firm breasts pressed against me, and I felt like they were two balls of fire, burning my skin in the most amazing way. He had one leg knelt on the sofa and bent down with her, helping her sit down on me and getting my cock all the way into her to the deepest. The huge pleasure took away my breath. Willa let out a little whimper with her le
Kirsch It was like my heart inflated before exploded when that word rolled off Willa's tongue, and my head was totally blank during that fierce kiss. I almost wish I could die at that moment so the kiss would never end. I felt bad stealing Willa from Taran, but I couldn't help accepting Willa's teasing when she showed interest in me. She was like a poison with the most delicious flavor, and knowing it would kill me I devoured her still every time I got the chance. But until now, it was only teasing-- She would jump on me and lick my collarbone, sending tingles that make me tremble, but never had her lips land on mine; she would press herself against me and giggle, but mostly it was only when she wanted stuff FROM me, unlike now when her eyes were sinking into mine with pure desire as if all she wanted was me. And that was the poison I could never escape. "Mate!" I responded when my lips finally found a gasp of freedom before I took her into my chest and kneaded as if we could beco
Taran's POVI cut off the mindlink with Kirsch, and instantly--[We can wake Willa up,] Cerberus huffed in a hurtful tone. He noticed not a moment later than I did.He was in pain. It physically hurt us to know that our mates are suffering, and Cerberus knew the pain of being kept in deep sleep more than anyone --Well, anyone but Nox.[She can put Willa into deep sleep once, she can do it again,] I suppressed the bitter sting in my chest to comfort my wolf, [we have to solve this properly without hurt to either of them. They are one, Cerberus.][She needs the other mate mark,] Cerberus kept his calm, it was so much easier to talk to him right now, [but I doubt she would mark anyone if she couldn't even mark Kirsch.][She couldn't mark Kirsch because her human part was in deep sleep,] I watched Cerberus carefully -- I know the jealousy I have been feeling was half from him, [Nox loves Kirsch. She can't fight the mate pull.][So
Taran's POV "Powell, good to see you again," I reached out my hand to Powell when Willa and Kirsch both turned their heads away when they saw Powell greeting us at the gate of the Treaty. "The same!" Powell grabbed my hand gratefully, and instantly let go when Willa shot him a death stare, "I'm so glad to have you with us, Alpha Taran!" "He's not the Alpha," Willa suddenly interrupted in a cold tone, "Kirsch Murphy is our current Alpha, and we are hoping you can at least pay your due respect to little details like these." Kirsch stared at Willa in shock with his jaw on the ground before he turned to me with confusion in his eyes. Though both of them are my mates, I do taste jealousy every time Willa appears close to Kirsch, and that was when I noticed -- Willa HAD been closer to Kirsch, and it actually started since the day when she failed to mark him. I was worried that day would ruin the little closeness they had before. "I'm terribly sorry! Miss..." Powell hesitated, and oddl
