Kirsch's POV

Under the dim light of dusk, the bonfire was lit in the center of the squire. But what took our attention, was the huge X-shaped wooden stand right beside the flame, and the man tied to it.

Taran.

"How dare you!" Nox bellowed the second she saw Taran, and it took both me AND Willa to contain her before she could shift and dash out.

[Remember why we are here!] I urged, but I was worried as well--

Taran didn't look good.

There were several new cuts on his body, fresh and bleeding. Apparently from another visit right after ours. He didn't rise his head when Nox made the fuss, and I could feel pain, right through our mate mark.

I thought I could trust him with the rest if I get Nox out of here, but now I wasn't so sure he had everything under control anymore.

"He is the mad rogue who butchered half of my pack in cold blood." Stone came forward and stood in front of Taran, facing the crowd, "I'm here to demand justice f

    Kirsch's POVI took the human way and got Willa and me back to the pack with a plane, in case Stone sat some ambush for us.Natasha never came, not even after we made it back to the pack safely. The pack didn't even notice our absence and the only mess stirred up with them was the rumor about Taran's capture.Of course, no one really believed Taran to be a mad rogue.Mad rogues are usually hard to contain and is constantly a threat to others AND themselves. Taran appears in front of them all the time, and he was calm as it comes.I soon submitted all the evidence I could manage to prove that Stone provoked us by entering our pack and trying to hurt Willa, but the evidence met no response from the Treaty's end. Though I kept on pushing them for a result, I wasn't really relying on that to make any progress.Willa had been sullen for days ever since we came back. Though she'd try to hide that in front of me, she was bad at it. I didn't need to

    Kirsch's POV"You are not Nox!" I gasped at the sudden realization. She was NOT the simple cute little wolf I had been talking to. Though a bit mad and capricious, Nox was never evil and cruel."Ohh I AM," She nodded, still with that evil smirk, "I'm the REAL Nox, the one and only, actually.""You got your memory back?! How?" I blurted.My blood ran cold."Come on, you know why." Nox rolled her eyes before she grabbed my collar. I took ahold of her wrist and pulled her away. To my surprise, she didn't fight me, but just let me pulled her wrist off."It's the new moon!" I jerked my head up at the sudden realization. The sky was shining in the light of the stars.No moon."You met Taran on the last new moon!" I shouted, rising her arm over her head, "YOU are his secret resources of all the information and the reason of his weird actions!""We are playing a game." Nox grinned as she leaned into me. There was a shade of sexy

  • Lured By The Cursed Alpha   217 The Real Prey

    Taran's POVI told Willa she slept through the last new moon when Nox put her in deep sleep.Though a bit surprised that Nox's memory could wake up during the new moon, it wasn't as shocking as what she told me--Of all their lives, they had never been able to mark each other ever since their first life. From Cerberus's reaction, I could tell that it was mostly because Nox wouldn't take his mark because of her human parts, but she wouldn't admit that.But she wanted to mark Cerberus. He was her "possession", according to her.Except for this time I let Kirsch mark us first.Of course, the solution was easy--With Kirsch's death she would be able to mark us, but I couldn't make that choice, so I made a deal with Nox--I keep the truth to myself while she tried to lure Kirsch to get his mark back from me. Actually, Nox couldn't use her Alpha Aura on any wolf through the mindlink. Alpha Aura only works face to face, but she seemed

    Hi Everyone~ Sorry that I have gone missing for days, I feel horrible about it. My editor has been pushing me on a new book cause apparently this one is not doing too well. It's not like I don't like a challenge, but I tried to keep both of them up, but I can't seem to do it well. I wrote stuff for this book as well, and I wanted to publish them, but they just didn't feel right and I have been struggling. But of course, none of these are enough excuses why I have been hiding from you for so long, I only wanted to explain the situation. I will finish this story, and I do have a lot planned for this book. I will try to update daily from here, and I'll send a note at least if I have to miss a day so you won't be waiting.

    Kirsch's POV "You are joking, right?" I asked. Nox broke us out of the mindlink before she came closer. Something told me she wasn't joking. "I know you have been in agony for so long, but that's your King you just sentenced to death, Nox," I backed as I tried to reason with her, "you already have him this time, Nox, make it right." "Our souls are bonded, so we are bound to be together." Nox ignored me with sparkles in her eyes, though she didn't at all share the innocent and lively light as Willa, her postures gave out a natural vibe of dominance and elegancy. I gulped unconsciously. "Let me mark you," Nox shifted her paws with an evil grin, "You own me that, you marked my mate." "That's very reasonable," I backed as I tried to mindlink Taran but it was an effort in vain, "but don't you think it makes more sense if you mark him instead of me so that you can at least get half of the mate mark with him? I mean--" Nox jumped at me and I shited to run, only to be stopped by two hu

    Kirsch's POV "Wait, no!" I blurted at Nox's words when she suddenly shifted her claw and swung at Taran. I jumped forward at Taran to shield him but he pushed me aside and let Nox's claw fell on his chest. Nox burst into laughters as she shifted her claw back at the last second. "You are the one I want to kill, silly," Nox turned to me with a smirk as she hung herself on Taran's neck. Taran sighed with a resighed smile-- "Naughty little wolf, stop scaring him." "Mark me and I'll stop." Nox turned to Taran, "You can mark me without the little girl." "I can't, love," Taran caressed her cheek gently, "the mark won't stay with Willa in the deep sleep." "But I--" Nox frowned, but before she could say anything else, her posture froze for a moment before she glanced at the sky-- The night was almost over. "Willa?" Taran asked in a hesitant tone, and her eyes lost focus for a moment before she mumbled with confusion-- "Where am I?" "You are back!" Taran pulled her into his arms as h

    Kirsch's POV "Willa, don't listen to her." I went up to her as Taran shot me a look before he stood bewteen us and the rogues that appeared around us. "I need to know..." Willa mumbled in a blank face, still shocked. "You don't need to know from Natasha, Willa. If there is anything, we will figure out later. Go with Kirsch and I'll come find you." Taran said with his eyes fixed on Natasha. "No!" Willa shivered at Taran's last words. Frankly speaking, I didn't like his plan either. There was no telling what the evil Nox had prepared for us, leaving her minions here. "You shifted for the first time when you were seven, and you wiped out your whole pack." Natasha sneered coldly as she went on, "Do you want to know what you did to your own parents? How many pieces did you tear them --" "She's your Alpha now, Natasha," Taran rose his voice and cut off Natasha, "I don't think she would be happy with you next new moon when you betray her like this." "Ohh I'm not betraying her," Natasha

    Kirsch's POV [I'm on my way, Kirsch.] Taran kept repeating that, but surviving wasn't the worst problem in my mind right now-- [But Nox is in berserk state now, what do we do when she isn't bounded by the pack bond? There is nothing we can do except marking her.] I said as I changed my position, delaying the fight between me and the two deadly Alphas in front of me. [Then we mark her.] Taran said simply. [I thought you didn't want to do that?] I rose an eyebrow. It was very clear by now that all Nox's plan was to try to force Taran to mark her. [I know what Nox's plan is, but we have to roll with the punch now.] Taran blurted fast, [And right now, Nox is more of a threat to you than Stone. You die with your mark on me, Nox won't get what she wants, but Stone knows that, and she doesn't right now. Take on Nox when they attack, Stone might hurt you, but he won't kill you. Hang in there for a moment and I'll be right there!] Right at that moment, Nox and Stone jumped at me at the sa

    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

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
