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--
Willa's POV [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-- A bunch of rogues appeared silently out of the woods. [I DIDN'T call them here!] Nox roared at Kirsch, and I was shocked forzen because there were tears in her eyes. [I know THAT!] Kirsch rolled his eyes, still a bit shaken up, [What were you thinking throwing yourself at Stone and ask ME to run?! Do you have any idea how dangerous that is?!] [Why...?] Nox mumbled, sta
Kirsch's POV It took me five minutes to catch up with the two crazy nuts. Nox took off like crazy the moment Stone left, and Taran took off after her without a word either. I was almost out of breath when we made home, and the only one who enjoyed that "night run", of course, was Rudy. [What do you think got into Taran?] I panted and asked Rudy as I watched those two disappeared in the third floor, [Do you think he know what happened with us and Nox?!] [There is nothing to tell, thanks to you!] Rudy grunted, rolling his eyes at me. [Do you really want Willa that way?] I sighed, [You know how she feel about us--] [Since when does love only occurs under a command?] Rudy grunted in frustration, [Sure I can feel your mate, but love can only happen to you. That's why we can't mark our mate without the human part.] [What are you saying? That we should mark her?] I blinked. [I'm saying, we feel the mate pull toward her, for whatever reason she can't feel it, she's meant for us!] Rudy
Willa's POV Though I was the one bringing it up first, my heart skipped a beat when Kirsch asked me so solemnly. "Are you sure about this?" I mumbled, my heart pounding in my chest. I didn't know I was so nervous about this. Nox lowered her eyes and dodged my peek, but I know she was excited, too. "I am. I would do anything to break the curse, and even if it doesn't, it still completes both of us, right?" Kirsch glanced at Taran before he answered. I turned to look at Taran, and he just bent and nipped on my shoulder. [Are you really okay with this?] I mumbled at Taran. He curved his lips: [Promise me and I'll give my blessing.] My eyes fell on Nox. The other night when we got back after meeting Stone, Taran came to us and said only one thing-- "If someone takes away their mate mark from a twin, they scar both the twins for life." "I don't plan to take my mark off Kirsch." -- That was how Nox answered Taran. That night in the pool, Taran gazed into our eyes for long before h
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
