Willa's POV
"She wouldn't kill us!... Why would she?" I muttered in shock. Why would she be so hell-bent on killing me? Sure, she hated me, but Jason was dealt with and I didn't do anything to Rachel. There wasn't even any reason for her to hate me!
"Reasons or not, she hated us. If we stay, we will die." Granny sighed, still shivering from the wolfsbane.
This was the first time I didn't want to leave a pack even when I had to.
[Kirsch! Kirsch...] I tried to mind link Kirsch, hoping that maybe he could wake up. I knew it was a long shot. He was badly wounded. It was already a miracle that he didn't die. There was no way he could wake up any time soon.
I couldn't mind link Al.
"So, you want a prison break? Can we come back after?" I asked granny. It would be fine. We could come back after Kirsch wakes up.
"We can, but...the teleport mark I set this time is very far away..." Granny sighed, looking at me with a sad look, "I set it
If Willa had been paying attention to her granny, she would notice how inconsistent granny's "story" have been
Willa's POV "Where are you taking us?" I took a step back to block the spell on the floor from Natasha. "No question, just come," Natasha said coldly, not looking at me. "I have the right to at least know that you are going to kill us! Why do you hate me so much to not even grant me my basic rights?!" I shouted at Natasha. I hated her, sure. But I didn't think I had irritated her enough to deserve death. "You, are, cursed! You would bring doom to the pack! Isn't that a good enough reason to wipe you from the face of the earth?!" Natasha stormed into the cell toward me. Granny stood up to meet her halfway, and I quickly stood in front of granny. Granny was in no shape to fight Natasha right now. "I'm not cursed! I was poisoned--" "Willa took wolfsbane by mistake last night. That was what you saw." Granny cut me off. We couldn't let them know we lied to them, not now. "Another far-fetched lie!" Natasha snorted coldly, "Of
Kirsch's POV When I opened my eyes, it took me a while to realize I was back in the Alpha's house. I hadn't been living here for a while. I was in Taran's room. Guess it was some pack member who took me back. They didn't even know I never slept in the master bedroom. It would always be Taran's. But it meant he wasn't back yet. I tried to move my body but everything hurt. I could barely look down at my own body, but I could feel it was wrapped in bandages. I let out a slight groan in pain as I closed my eyes and laid down again. It would still take days before I could fully recover, and that was actually a better result than I had expected. I really thought Crebreus would kill me. I could barely stand up in the end as I tried to stop him from dashing into the pack. I managed to force him to go through the woods as I mindlinked patrol and cleared a path so we wouldn't run into anyone. He was in a complete rage and
Kirsch's POV It took me a few seconds to understand Taran's words. It wasn't like Willa was not in the house. As far as Taran knew, Willa was nowhere to be found?! Maybe she went to the beach? "Don't tell me it's Nat again!" I rubbed my head in frustration. "It's not. I asked Nat. She was here when I came back." Taran shook his head, "Nat didn't know where Willa is, and Willa wouldn't accept her mind link." "What the hell did Nat do this time?!" I grunted. Willa didn't like Nat, but she wouldn't just deny her mind link if it wasn't because Nat did something to upset her again. [Willa?] I tried to mind link Willa, but no response. [Willa?] I tried again, still, Willa refused to put the mind link through. At least that meant she wasn't in danger. "She won't accept. I don't want to use the Alpha Aura on her." I sighed. I couldn't imagine what would have upset Willa so much that she wouldn't even talk to us. "Try he
Kirsch's POV Taran's voice was freezing cold. Even though he couldn't use Alpha Aura anymore, I could see Nat went jittering as her lips shook in terror. "Taran! You are scaring me..." Nat stammered as tears burst out of her eyes. "Don't make me ask again." Taran closed his eyes as he said slowly, apparently not intending to let Nat free before he got his answer, and Nat was broken in no time. "She disappeared from the cell! I really don't know where she is! I DID want to kill her, and she asked us to give her a moment, but then she was gone! She escaped!" Nat cried as she grabbed Taran's forearm with both her hands in fear. Taran let her off. I sighed, asking Nat: "Why did you go after her again?! You disobeyed us deliberately--" "This is not personal! I captured her because she turned into a rabid wolf on the new moon night and she attacked you! She was the 'wolfless girl'!" Nat shouted at me with her face red in tears.
Willa's POV Three days passed since we teleported out of the cell. I didn't know where we were. I barely had the energy to eat, let alone care about our location. The sting in my chest never faded, and this time it hurt more. I guess it was just what people called "heartbreak". I felt that when I thought Al wasn't mine, and I definitely was having a worse one now, when I KNEW, Al belonged to Natasha. I agreed to join the new pack. Granny's teleport mark took us to a small cove. It took her ten days to run here last time. Far away from Al. We had been camping by the sea for the past three days. Granny never asked why I was feeling low. She knew me well enough to not ask. She didn't even ask about Taran when it was supposed to be a new name to her. She gave me all the time and space I needed to lick my wounds. She was right. I should have stayed away from Taran since the beginning. Antonia hadn't woken up yet. We
Kirsch's POV [Willa! Are you alright? Where are you?!] I almost burst into shouting, in the happiness of hearing her voice. She was sitting on a rock by the sea, with only the dark waves in front of her. Of course she was by the sea. [I'm fine, thanks. Glad you woke up.] She was smiling, but there was a shade of aloofness in Willa's tone. I guess she had always been cold to me. [Little one, where are you right now?] Taran asked with a smile, gentle as ever. I watched in shock as Willa bit her lips and dodged Taran's eyes. She had never been cold to Taran! When he was around, it was like her eyes could only fit him and nothing more. Willa must be really hurt this time for her to keep Taran at distance. [I'm really sorry for what happened. I'm sorry I wasn't there to protect you--] Taran started with a more cautious tone. He noticed Willa's abnormal attitude toward him as well. [It's okay. It's not your responsibility to
Kirsch's POV The second Willa broke the mind link, Taran turned around and put his fist through the wall. "Taran--" I started, but it only got Taran to hit the wall again, and again and again and again. Each time with more force. Nat flinched in horror at Taran's sudden outburst. She had never seen Taran lose control like this. I, had never seen Taran lose control like this, not when it wasn't from Cerberus. Blood splashed on the wall since the fifth hit, but Taran wasn't stopping. He pushed against the wall with one hand and was hitting the wall even harder. "Taran, I know it hurts, I understand. But Willa is still in the pack bond, I can try to talk her--" "No!" Taran growled as he wheeled on me. But at least he stopped hitting the wall. "Alpha, I know you are hurt--" I said cautiously. Though Cerberus was not awake, I didn't want to irritate him more. I had never realized so clearly before -- without Cerberus, Taran was an A
Granny's POV I lied to Willa. She wasn't poisoned, she was cursed. I had been feeding her wolfsbane ever since I took her home. Wolfsbane couldn't hurt her. The lethal poison to werewolves became Willa's best weapon. She needed protection. Wolfsbane only worked on her wolf, and her wolf could only appear on the new moon night. Until she turns 18, that was. That was the only way I could contain her wolf, and that only needed to last till her 18th birthday. She would be free once the curse is broken. I would break the curse for her. The story of the cursed wolfless was well known in our world, but little knew the true story. Once upon a time, there was yet any werewolf walking on the surface of the earth. The moon goddess was lonely, for she was the only goddess who possessed two forms -- a human form as the eternal virgin called Luna; and a wolf form, known as Nox. She created our kind, and gave us her ab
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
