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
Willa's POV It took me days to get used to Cerberus's new voice. Well, his voice didn't change. It was still that rough, low one that tickled my heart every time I heard it, but the dominance in that voice and the confidence and calmness were beyond enchanting. "Taran!" I jumped up when his body entered my sight. He didn't take the Alpha's title back, but he had been leading several patrols outside the pack, searching for Stone's men. "I'm back, my love. How's your day?" Taran wrapped his arm around my waist and rose his other hand-- It was a rabbit, apparently the fruit of his hunting today. Now that Cerberus got his memory back, he had remembered a lot of stuff, such as the fact that the greatest wolf warrior in history -- meaning Nox -- loves eating grey rabbits. "She's happy!" I jumped on him with my legs around his waist for a kiss. Taran chuckled and supported my butt with his forearm and deepened that kiss, except he let Cerberus out. Nox had been rather quiet ever since
Willa's POV "Don't like it, love?" Laughing, Cerberus tipped up my chin when I forgot to proceed with my rabbit leg after he reminded me for the thrid time, "Let me heat it up for you." "Sorry..." I blinked and pulled back my wondering thoughts. Nox nudged her huge head into me as a light punishment because she had been drooling over the delicious rabbit in front of me, and I just couldn't get my mind off my crazy plan. I followed Taran into the Kitchen when Kirsch still had his head buried in his plate. "You look bothered, love." Cerberus opened the stove and put the pan over the jumping fire, "Tell me about it?" Nox wrapped her arms around his waist and bit him lightly on his bicep. Cerberus chuckled as he rose his arm and pulled sher up like a fish as she wouldn't let go before he chucked his arms around her neck. "I...I have a question for you." I murmured, looking up at him as he bent down for a kiss before he fliped the meat with a shake of the pan, "I mean, I know you clai
Kirsch's POV "Why did you tell Willa you no longer feel the mate pull toward her?" Taran asked me as he put a piece of raw meat in the pan after he got the leg out on a place. Willa likes dark meat. "Well, because I don't." I kept my eyes low on the pan, "It disappeared after you marked her." "Or maybe, you just don't want her to feel bad for rejecting you." Taran glanced at me with a teasing smirk. "Why would she care..." I mumbled. It was the best I could lie. "That's not a no," Taran said softly. "My mate is you, and it's enough for me." I glanced at the kitchen door, feeling the guilt of a thief when Cerberus's smell struck my nerve. I wanted him, more than ever. But I didn't dare do anything with him because leaving my smell on him would probably drive Nox into rage. She knows now that Cerberus claimed both of us, but we never really talked about boundaries. Besides, Taran and I also needed time after we have been telling ourselves for years that we were straight. "Would
Kirsch's POV Taran yawned before he swore he would do the Alpha's work hence passing on the night run with us. Pretty sure he said "Alpha's work" because he doesn't know what real work is requested of him on my desk. Willa shifted and jogged ahead, leaving me no time to keep on hesitating. Pretty sure she is planning on murdering me for that kiss. The forest under the moonlight was mind soothing. The almost full moon followed us as Rudy and Nox quickly got warmed up and set loose their paws. [Race you to the river!] Nox shouted happily as she knocked me out of the way. I had to bounce on the trunk just to avoid crashing my face into the ground. [Sneaky! THAT sure you can't win, huh?] I laughed as I gave up the main road and chased up in the trail. Rudy got railed up quickly at her challenge and sped up. [Talk after you beat me!] Nox dashed toward me and I sped up to avoid crashing into her before I took her path. The game went on and I relaxed a little as Rudy got excited when W
Sorry for a black-out night guys. I'll double update tomorrow!! Rai A little preview for you though! [What the hell?!] I snapped at Nox, and a shred of vicious slide through her eyes before she snapped at me-- [You would just turn on me the moment someone say something bad about me?!] [Well I--] I stammered, knowing she was right. There wasn't even a chance for Nox to have colluded with Stone since the last new moon. But that idea was so natural to me that I didn't even suspect Stone. [Run!] Nox shouted at Rudy through the mindlink before she knocked into Stone. [Are you fucking kidding me?!] Kirsch roared back at us before he jumped over, but Stone dodged both of us swiftly making a sharp whistle--
