***Henry****

“It’s you,” Xavier whispered, his voice barely audible over the sound of the pouring rain outside as his lips connected with mine in a soft, gentle kiss. For a moment, my mind went numb with shock and disbelief. The feeling of his touch sent shivers down my spine, making me forget about everything else at that moment. His smell fills my nostrils, making my wolf howl in approval, recognizing its mate.

But the human in me knew this was wrong and dangerous. I pushed Xavier on his back, breaking the kiss abruptly, and took a step back, trying to regain my composure. “What are you doing? This... this doesn’t seem right,” I stammered, my heart racing with conflicting emotions. “We can’t do this.”

Xavier rubbed his chin, a smile playing on his lips, his eyes dark with desire. “I know it’s wrong, but I can’t fight this pull between us,” he whispered, stepping closer. “I need you.”

Xavier’s words made my mind race with desire and confusion. Despite knowing the consequences, I couldn’t deny the intense attraction between us. But still, I shook my head. Xavier hates me, and I knew that pursuing anything further would only lead to heartbreak and complications.

“You are my brother,” I finally confessed, my voice barely above a whisper. “We can’t do this.”

Xavier stands up from where he is sitting, his height towering over me as he reaches out to gently cup my face. “I don’t care,” he murmurs, his gaze unwavering. “I can’t resist you.” My heart pounds in my chest as I struggle to maintain my resolve, torn between what I know is right and the overwhelming desire that threatens to consume us both.

“We are not related by blood, anyway.” Xavier’s voice is filled with longing and desperation, his words causing a tumult of conflicting emotions within me. I take a step back, trying to distance myself from the intensity of the moment, but his touch lingers on my skin, leaving me feeling both exhilarated and terrified at the same time.

“NO. Even if we are mates and even if my wolf is howling for you, I cannot allow myself to fall for you.” I said, my voice barely above a whisper as I struggled to maintain my resolve. “Even if you weren’t my brother, I would have never taken you as my mate,” I continue, my heart aching with the weight of my decision. “I hate you; I hate every single thing about you,” I added, my words filled with pain and anger.

As the pain and suffering that I have endured for so long finally came to the surface, I knew that this was the only way to protect myself. Yes, I love my love. Yes, I love my brother, but I hate him with every fiber of my being, for every time he has endured my pain and suffering. Where was he when I was crying myself to sleep every night? Where was he when I needed someone to lean on? He is the Alpha of the pack still, but he has failed in his duty to protect and care for me.

“You hate me...” Xavier’s voice quivered as he spoke, his eyes filled with hurt and confusion.

I nodded my head as the internal turmoil continued to rage within me, torn between the love I once felt for my brother and the betrayal I now harbored toward him.

Xavier grabs my cheeks in between his palms, squeezing them tightly. “I did so much for you; I protected you from everything, and this is how you repay me?” He whispered, his voice breaking. I could see the pain in his eyes, but the wounds he had inflicted were too deep for forgiveness.

Tears welled up in my eyes as I struggled to find the words to respond, knowing that our relationship would never be the same again. With a heavy heart, I finally whispered, “I’m sorry, Xavier. But we can never be mates or brothers again.” Xavier’s expression hardened, his grip on my cheeks tightening even more before he released me with a sigh. “I don’t care if you hate me or not, but the truth is that you are my mate, and nothing can change the bond we share,” he said firmly.

********

“This is not true,” Henry shouted, staring at me with a mixture of shock and disbelief. “I don’t want you to be my mate.”

I pulled his shirt closer, feeling the undeniable pull of the mate bond between us. “Do you think I want you as my mate, Henry? Believe me, this is as unexpected for me as it is for you.” Henry’s eyes widened as he tried to free himself from my grasp, but the mate bond was too strong.

“We have no choice in this matter,” I said firmly, knowing that our fates were now intertwined, whether we liked it or not.

“NO…!” Henry shouted, his voice filled with anger and frustration. “I don’t want you as my mate. Never.!”

“What will you do now, Henry?” I asked calmly, knowing that fighting against the mate bond would only bring us more pain in the end.

“I Henry Clane, the omega of Dark Moon Pack, reject you, Xavier De La Vega, as my mate!” Henry declared, his tone defiant.

A smirk played on my lips as I responded, “You think you have a choice in this matter, even if I don’t want you as my mate, either?” I pulled him closer, our eyes locked in a battle of wills. “Your rejection made me want to not let you go even more. You’re mine, whether you like it or not.”

Henry struggled against my grip, but I could see the fear in his eyes. Deep down, he knew he couldn’t escape the mate bond that connected us. “I will never reject you, but don’t ever think that I will accept you either,” I whispered, feeling a mix of defiance and desire. “You are bound with me forever; I will not mate, but also not allow you to mate with anyone else. You are mine, and that is not a choice you get to make.” My words hung heavy in the air, a declaration of possession and control that left no room for negotiation.

I hate this new dynamic between us, but seeing the pain and struggle in his eyes to get freed from the mate bond only fueled my desire to keep him bound to me. The power I held over him was intoxicating, and I knew that no matter how much he resisted, he would always be mine.

Cody’s grip on my arm tightened as we continued to retreat, hoping to escape without triggering an attack.“We don’t know how many they are or where they might be hiding,” Cody whispered, his voice barely audible over the rustling of leaves. “Let’s stick together and stay alert,” I replied, my heart pounding with fear as we navigated through the moonlit forest.I nodded my head. No matter how much Cody bullied me or hurt me, I knew that he was a warrior, and trusting him right now was best for our survival. Letting go of my fear and placing my trust in Cody’s instincts, we pressed on, determined to make it out of the forest safely.“S

The wolf hesitated, its playful demeanor disappearing as it locked eyes with me, unsure of what to do next. My heart raced as I braced myself for whatever might come next.“What are you doing, fool?” Cody shouted, trying to pull me away from Rogue Wolf, but before he could do so, the wolf launched itself on me and sank its teeth into my shoulder.

Henry’s breaths came in sharp, uneven gasps, his shoulders trembling under the crushing weight of a truth too monstrous to ignore.

The room felt smaller, the walls closing in, as if the universe itself recoiled from the truth, holding its breath, waiting for me to grasp the sheer gravity of what had just been spoken.Henry and I weren’t just mates. We were bound by something deeper, something that defied explanation, something that sent a cold shiver crawling down my spine.We were something beyond mortal comprehension. Something tethered to the abyss itself, lurking in the shadows of fate, waiting to consume us whole.Kin, bound by blood and destiny. A fate intertwined not just by love or the pull of the mate bond, but by something ancient, something dark—something that whispered in the marrow of my bones, waiting, watching, lurking just beyond the veil of my underst

But understanding.He knew.Diego exhaled sharply, his fists clenched, knuckles whitening as barely restrained fury coiled beneath his skin like a caged beast.

The sky churned with swollen clouds, heavy with the weight of the battle’s aftermath. Rain had thinned to a whisper, yet the battlefield remained drenched—soaked in blood, in loss, in the echoes of war that refused to be silenced.Henry lay motionless in my arms, his breaths shallow but steady—each fragile inhale a reminder of how close we had come to losing him. The weight of his body against mine grounded me, an anchor against the storm of blood and ruin surrounding us. He had fought harder than any of us, given everything to keep us standing. And now, his body bore the cost of that sacrifice. My fingers trembled as I brushed damp hair from his forehead, caught between the relief that he was alive and the gnawing dread of what lay ahead.

Rain seeps into the fractured earth, pooling in the craters left by our war. The scent of damp soil and blood lingers, thick and inescapable.I hold Henry against me, my arm wrapped around his trembling form, feeling the erratic rhythm of his breath against my chest.

It only craves ruin.But Xavier does not move from where he kneels, battered and bleeding, his body trembling under the force of my blows.
