~Hazel~
Is it too soon to say I'm in love? Val is silly, and she's the most kind-hearted woman. I know she has gone above and beyond to make me feel welcome in their home instead of being jealous or malicious. Obviously, the spiritual bond is a huge factor in how we feel for each other because there is a strong connection between the three of us naturally. How anyone could reject this feeling is beyond me.
Tae is equally goofy, but he looks intimidating and mean. If he were not mated to me, I would stay out of his way. Having a man who is gentle and funny for just his two women is a huge turn-on, though. No one else gets this side of Tae, except for their three-year-old son they told me about over dinner last night. I get to meet him today, and I can't wait. When they showed me a picture of him, my heart melted.Val is still asleep with her arm wrapped around me, but I felt Tae get up early. He must have had work to do because he kissed our heads before leaving the room. Val pulls me closer to her and rubs her hand against my bare stomach. My shirt fits loose, so her hand slipped underneath the material, but I don't mind at all. To be honest it's the best sensation I have ever felt. I know she wants to take things slow, but her touch makes me want to do things that I have no experience doing."Val, are you awake?" I don't want her to stop rubbing on me, but I'm starting to feel needy.She doesn't answer, so she must still be asleep. I'll scoot over.Scooting over didn't work because she tightened her hold when I tried to move. "Val, you're turning me on, and I don't know what to do about it.""Oh crap, I'm sorry. Now I see why my dream felt so real." She moved her hand and gave me space. She looks as flustered as I feel."You don't have to be sorry. I just know we're waiting to do stuff, and I knew you weren't aware." She probably thinks I'm freaking out."I'm glad you woke me up. I'm used to having Tae with me when I wake up, and I get touchy in the mornings." I think touchy is right."I just realized I forgot to ask how you and Tae met." I bet their love story is romantic."We completely hated each other. Tae was with this snob who swore he was going to reject me so they could live happily ever after. Tae was so awful at the time. His girlfriend was mad about his parents forcing him to attend the gala because she wanted to become queen one day. They were high school sweethearts if that tells you anything. I was not rich growing up, so my parents spent their last to make sure I looked decent for the gala. Tae was standing beside his parents at The Royal's table when I walked into the ballroom. Our eyes instantly connected, and I could feel his anger from across the room. He was in love with Candice. His parents looked at him and followed his gaze. They told him to come and talk to me, and that's when he said he was going to reject me. His dad told him, 'If you reject your mate, you reject your position as King.' His brother, Ash, would take over instead once he found his mate." I can't believe Tae would be so heartless!"Oh my gosh, I would have never guessed. Tell me more." They're fine now, so I'm curious."I left the gala with him, his parents, and Candice. It was the most awkward ride of my entire life, but thinking about it now is funny. We get back here, and I have a room set up for me. All of my clothes were brought here from my house, which was easy because I was born a Lycan, and I sat in my room for the rest of the night. He and Candice still had sex with me being here. I knew when they were messing around because my heart would break every time. It's not physical pain, but it's so emotionally hurtful that you would think someone was stomping on your chest. This went on for nearly three weeks before I had enough. I knew he was having sex with her more often than usual because of the effect I had on him, and I knew he was unsatisfied with her because he would make her leave his room right after they finished. I heard one of their arguments once, so I knew my being here is what caused him to be unhappy with her.I decided to make his life hell, so I bought a nice little vibrator. I would lock my door and masturbate with it when he was home because I knew he would go crazy. One day, he started banging on my door, demanding that I open it. I told him I was occupied, and he should come back in twenty minutes." I'm so glad she can laugh about this now, but this sounds horrible."You're a legend. What happened next?" This is juicy. Literally."He kept knocking and twisting the handle, so I started moaning loudly. That's when he kicked in my door, took my toy, and threw it through my window. Glass shattered everywhere, and the poor man mowing the lawn was hit with it. I covered myself just in time for Candice to show up and throw a tantrum. She knew he was starting to catch feelings for me that he couldn't control. His parents threatened him with the throne if he refused to spend alone time with me during those three weeks, so he took me out to lunch two days a week. I can't say it was all bad. When Candice wasn't around, he was nicer but still distant. Tae was only with her because they were together for so long, and he made a lot of promises. At some point, he stopped loving her. Another week passed, and I noticed I didn't feel that heartbreak anymore. He and Candice stopped having sex after he broke my door down, but she was still around. I was moved to a new room, right next to his. I didn't touch myself the entire week, but I ended up going into heat.My door was unlocked, thankfully. Tae sensed it and rushed in to help me. He tried putting me in a cold bath, but it made me angry. I felt hot and irritable. We both knew the only thing that would help me would result in pregnancy. Not to mention, his hormones were just as bad as mine. We couldn't hold off any longer. That night, we conceived Lucas, and he broke things off with Candice. Tae became a completely different man when we completed the bond. I still had insecurities and a lot of depression because of how he treated me in the beginning, but he worked his tail off to make up for it. After Lucas was born, all of my depression was gone. It helped that Tae is an amazing father. Seeing him with our baby makes my heart so full.""Wow, I'm glad you two didn't reject me. It's not like you guys need me because you have each other." I got very fortunate with Val and Tae."That is where you are wrong. We do need you; that's why you are made for us. Not only do we need you, but we want you. Denying the connection would only make us crave you more." She does a great job at turning me on unintentionally. "You want to see something funny?""You're always doing something funny. This should be interesting." She moves closer toward me, and I get butterflies."Would I be overstepping if I asked to kiss you?" I don't know how a kiss would be funny, but I'm intrigued now."No, I don't think that's overstepping. I would let you do a lot more than that, honestly. You're the one who wants to go slow." She grins at my response."So you're okay with not going slow?" She gets closer."At this point, I will be frustrated if you go any slower." Val crawls over me, nestling between my legs. Her lips met mine, and lust took over. My hands caress her body, and within seconds our clothes are on the floor.Our fun is interrupted when Tae barges into the room like there's an emergency. Then I realize that was the funny part. Val looks at him with a wicked grin, and I manage to avoid laughing hysterically."You two think you're funny, huh?" Val shrugs a shoulder and turns her attention back to me."Keep going?" She rubs my thighs, making it impossible to resist her."Please, keep going." I'm the one who takes initiative as I sit up and kiss her with more passion than ever before. Tae doesn't leave the room this time.~Octavius~I'm sitting in my home office to schedule a meeting with the alpha of the Dark Forest Pack when I feel a sensation form in my stomach. I can sense Val's arousal, but she always is when she wakes up. I would be fulfilling her needs right now, but we have to respect Hazel. I'm sure the feeling will go away soon when they get out of bed.I brush it off and called Alpha Jakobe to confirm the day and time of our meeting. By the time we hung up the phone, the sensation spreaded through my body, and I began to sweat. I can feel the touch of Hazel on Val's body. There is no way in Hell I will keep working while my two mates are getting frisky for the first time. As I get closer to our room, my breathing becomes unsteady, and eagerness takes over. When I open the door, Val and Hazel are stripped naked. Val is between Hazel's legs, but when she looks back at me, I can see the mischief in her eyes while Hazel is trying not to laugh. There is no doubt in my mind Val did this on purpose
~Octavius~"Daddy!" Lucas jumps into my arms, and I toss him into the air to hear his laughter. Val stayed at the castle with Hazel while I ran to get our son from my brother's house."Hey, Buddy! Did you have fun with Uncle Ash and Aunt Carlie?" He nodded enthusiastically."We made cookies!" He rubs his little tummy."Where are my cookies?" Lucas wiggles out of my arms and runs into the kitchen; Carlie follows him."So, a second mate?" Ash asks quietly."Hazel is so innocent and sweet. She and Val are already hitting it off as if they've been best friends forever, and she loves kids. I'm nervous about them meeting, but I know he will love her as much as we do." Hazel fits us like a glove, so there is no doubt in my mind Lucas will love her too."How will you explain it to him? Will he see her as a second mother?" Ash looks slightly concerned because this is not typically the Lycan way."He's only three, so it'll be a simple explanation. As he ages, he will form a proper understanding
~Hazel~Lucas is a ball of energy. I'm a pretty fit woman, but this little guy made me doubt my athleticism while playing on the playground. Today has been the best day of my life. Val and I went shopping for new clothes this evening while Tae took Lucas to an arcade in the mall. After dinner, we played Go Fish with Lucas and did a couple of rounds of hide-and-seek. Lucas said he wanted to be on my team, so we hid and found his parents together. Now that I'm showered and lying down in the bed, I feel exhausted. Val is giving Lucas a bath in the bathroom attached to his bedroom while Tae is showering in our bathroom. The privacy gives me time to call my parents. After two rings, my mom answers."I'm assuming you found a beast to corrupt you since you never returned home." I knew my mom would be upset, but I did not expect her to say something like this when she answered my call."Hello, sunshine. Put Dad on the phone." I don't feel like talking to her. Dad might not be any better."Haz
~Hazel~Sex is intimate, but Tae cleaning me up after I noticed the aftermath is a different type of intimacy. When your body is no longer running on adrenaline and lust, you feel raw and vulnerable. I wanted to rush to the bathroom and clean myself, but there's no way in hell I will be rushing anywhere after what he had just done to me. Val helped me up so I could use the restroom while Tae changed the comforter on our bed. He just left to check on Lucas to make sure he was still asleep, so Val and I are lying in bed, facing each other and waiting for him to join us."Sorry about the blanket." I don't know why I'm embarrassed right now. I'm assuming this is normal."I know how you feel, don't worry. It didn't bother Tae during my first time either. To be honest? I think he loves it. He did well with not getting too crazy. I can't say he'll be as easy next time." So that was him being easy. Noted."I assume he was gentle with you last night so I wouldn't get scared about my first time
~Valentina~Why isn't she awake? It has been seven days, and Hazel's heart sounds weak. Our family doctor came right after she closed her eyes to insert a catheter, hook her up to a heart monitor, and put her on oxygen to take the stress off of her body. Doctor Green said it would most likely take her longer than most to wake because of the amount of neutralizer in her system, but she needed it from both of us to complete the bond. There was no other way, but I'm getting scared. What if something goes majorly wrong? Werewolves have more than one mate all the time, but they always recover quickly after being marked.Tae is beginning to get anxious too. I know he is trying to be strong and positive for me, but we can sense something isn't right. I hate leaving Hazel's side because Lucas doesn't understand these things yet, and we won't let him come into our room while Hazel is in a coma. Thankfully, Tae and I can take turns sitting with her most of the time, but he can't always put work
~Valentina~"I'm going to mindlink you, okay? To respond, all you have to do is direct your thoughts to me. That will open our communication, and you can try it with Tae later. We will receive it as long as we keep our minds open to one another." I have a ton to talk to her about, and these simple questions are limiting us tremendously.Do you hear my voice? She squeezes my hand so I know she hears me.Kill that fucking doctor, Val. I get back into the bed and lie next to her.What has he done? I need to know everything. He's a dead man, for sure. Being able to talk to her lifts so much weight from my chest.He keeps injecting me with something that makes my pulse slow. I think he called it a beta-blocker, but it also contains a muscle paralytic. As far as touching goes, he makes me uncomfortable as hell. He ran his finger across my chest while I was regaining feeling a couple of days ago and told me he's doing this for the greater good. He also talked about my body and said it's a sh
~Octavius~This can't be the man who cared for me for over half of my life. He has never given me a reason not to trust him, but now has shown the utmost disrespect. I'll be sure to get the answers I need before I snap his neck. Niko opens the cell for me as I put on gloves."You're making a mistake! You should have rejected her!" Doctor Green is sweating profusely."Why the hell would we reject our mate? The Fates made her for us for a reason." It seems I won't have to beat the information out of him."The prophecy! She said I must kill her!" I don't even recognize him. His eyes are cold, and his body is fidgeting."Who said it? What is the prophecy?" It has to be a witch. I wish he would get to the fucking point."It's a Tribrid. She's here to ensure Hazel dies. If I do not execute it, she will kill me!" I feel my heart sink into my stomach. How did a Tribrid get into my territory? A Tribrid is the last being I would want to deal with, but I will do anything to protect our people an
~Hazel~Being paralyzed for a week was traumatizing. It's been three days since I gained control over my body, but learning how to walk again was not easy. I still feel unsteady on my feet sometimes. I would have fallen down a flight of stairs last night if Tae wasn't there to catch me.Tae and Val's parents are staying with us until the Tribrid, Eden, is found. I guess King Coolidge was unaware of the prophecy or her plan to invade our territory, but he is not willing to interfere with it. He told Tae to do what he must to protect his people, but he could not put his queen and the other two Tribrids at risk. He also mentioned how weird Eden has been acting for the last few weeks. She barely left her house and refused to eat meals with them as they usually did. If she knew about the prophecy that early, I can only imagine how much she prepared for this.More than anything, I'm terrified. I wonder how many people Eden has convinced to kill me. I don't know what spells or potions she is
~Valentina~ Hazel has been back home with us for a month now, but she isn't the Hazel I used to know. It took three weeks after Eden passed away for her to move back here because she wasn't ready to leave the cabin. She went through her first heat a few days after arriving home but refused to allow Tae or me to touch her to help relieve the pain. Honestly, we haven't been able to touch her at all since she came back home. My pregnancy hormones are already making me an emotional wreck, but it's even worse since Hazel decided to move into a different room by herself.I know losing Eden crushed her, but I also know for a fact, Eden would be pissed off if she knew Hazel was shutting everyone out and refusing to be involved with my pregnancy. I have no more tears left to cry, and her rejection is beginning to make me feel more pissed off than sad as the days go on. I have officially reached my breaking point.I hear the shower turn on, and I know it's Hazel because she locks the bathroom
~Hazel~ I instantly feel the change in my environment before I open my eyes and see we're back inside the cabin. I take in a deep breath, thankful we made it back. Sure, the plan failed, but we're safe, and we can come up with a more effective plan. I turn around to approach Eden, only to find her lying on the floor breathing heavily beside her candle, which is barely lit. I rush to her side, careful not to touch her candle."She's not going to last much longer, Hazel. Since she didn't die directly, it will take about ten minutes for it to be finalized. Just like your body going back to normal will take time as well. Make good use of the time you have left with her." Rebeka's tone is cold and sharp, but she gives me space. The shock I feel is so overwhelming that my body goes into autopilot. I can't cry. I can't yell. I can't break down and beg The Fates to do something- anything- to keep her here with me.I want to ask Eden a million questions. Why would she do this? Why wouldn't she
~Hazel~Eden still hasn't released my hand. Her touch is so rare that I store this moment in my mind and label it 'fragile'. As we walk hand-in-hand, my panicking heart flutters in my chest. I can't lose her today, and I won't stay back if she needs my help. That isn't my character.We come to a stop when we hear cautious footsteps behind us. When we turn around, we see me in my lycan form. I remember how I felt that day- determined, annoyed by the bugs, and scalding myself for not bringing clothes. I remove my t-shirt because I have a camisole underneath it and give Eden a small smile before addressing my past self."Please shift and put this on. We don't have much time, and there are things you need to know." I sense the hesitation, but she shifts into her human form. Confusion takes over her face, as I knew it would, so I continue as she slips on the t-shirt."I am you from a couple of months down the road. I won't have time to tell you everything, but the ultimate goal is to stop
~Hazel~ I haven't seen Val and Tae since we mated three nights ago. I never told them, but staying in our bedroom was very painful for me because Val's scent was overpowering. Even the cotton balls couldn't keep her heavenly aroma away, but she needed me and I refused to let her down. I can't take that risk again, so the next morning I told them not to come to the cabin. I can only trust myself to an extent until I'm back to normal, which is supposed to happen this afternoon. I'm nervous as hell, but I'm not worried about myself. I'm worried for Eden. I have a terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach that she's going to do something crazy. She isn't being herself today. I hope my gut is wrong."Eden, talk to me." She stops wiping the same spot on the counter that she's been scrubbing for the last fifteen minutes."Talk about what, Haze?" I can tell she's avoiding eye contact, and it's ticking me off."Everything is going to be okay. We'll keep in touch, and the borders should be open
Octavius I've missed her moans, her smell, and her taste. Having her naked beneath me again feels so right. Her legs are wrapped tight around my waist while I've got one hand on her throat and the other restraining her wrists above her head. Her warm, wet pussy clenches around my dick for the third time tonight as she reaches yet another screaming orgasm. I can't get enough of Hazel. Going so long without her has driven me crazy, but I do my best to stay strong. Now all those pent-up emotions are coming at me with a vengeance, so I decided to take it out on her body.My wolf instincts are beginning to take over, and I allow it. Hazel's eyes widen when she feels my length grow deep inside her, and my lycan form appears. I want to leave her sore for the next few days, so she'll think of me everytime she sits down."Shit, Tae! Go easy, please." Hazel watches the bulge form in her pelvis after I let go of her throat. The bulge is something she didn't notice the last time, so I think it ma
~Octavius~My ass is tired of sitting around The Royal's table in Open Land's Palace. Thankfully, our queens all stayed home to look after our territories so we wouldn't have a full-blown royal war before decisions are made. The Full-Blood King, Alpha Apollo Dolph, and Hybrid King, Thaddius Gray, propose opening the borders. When they first mentioned it, everyone thought they were insane, especially Mortal Grounds, King Harry. He's terrified of what would happen if the borders got overturned, so he keeps looking at me like I'm about to come to his rescue. I never agreed to protect him outside his territory. I'm not his personal bodyguard. The more I listen to Apollo and Thaddius's plan, the more I like what I hear. Why should we be limited to certain parts of the world? Why couldn't we live freely as we are meant to live? It isn't my responsibility to keep other people alive when they're not under my rule, so Mortal Grounds is about to be ass-out.We might not break down the borders a
~Valentina~Hazie is completely naked, legs wide open, and her phone is positioned perfectly for my viewing. I do the same so that we can enjoy each other's bodies while we play with ourselves. She's teasing one of her nipples while her other hand rubs her pussy, and I reach into my nightstand to grab my new vibrator, lube it up, and turn it on."Does Tae know about your new friend?" The sight of me rubbing the vibrating toy against my clit gets her excited."Nope. I haven't used it yet, but he won't be back until later tonight anyway. You should get one, so I can watch you use it too." I would love to see Hazie fuck herself with a toy, and it would give her more pleasure than her fingers."I'll put that on my next list for necessities. Slide it inside, Val, and get closer to the camera." I scoot closer and push the toy inside. I slowly pump it in and out at first, then speed up my pace. I need Hazie's lips and tongue on my body, so I picture her here with me. I imagine her scent surr
~Valentina~ Hazie has been gone for five weeks. She communicates with us all the time with a new cellphone Eden got for her, which surprised the hell out of us. She's too far away to mindlink, so we frequently talk on the phone. I hate not being able to feel her or smell her scent while I fall asleep. Tae is always gone, working with the Royal Kings from other territories to ensure Hazel is unharmed, as she is not a threat. Sleeping without both of my mates is making me more depressed every day. Carlie and our parents have been as helpful as they can be with Lucas. I haven't been as patient as I should be for him, so I feel like I'm failing as a mother. This depression is taking over my mind, and I don't know how to handle it anymore.What Eden did to Hazie is unforgivable, in my opinion. Tae and I haven't had time to lean on each other as we deal with the emotions of what happened to our mate. No matter how civil and helpful Eden is trying to be, it still doesn't take away the perman
~Hazel~Eden tapped my forehead, removing whatever trance she had me in. I couldn't contain my scream as I fell to the ground, clutching my neck where she bit me. My entire body feels like it's on fire."Did you just fucking mark me?!" I screeched."No, not necessarily. I injected you with my venom, not neutralizer. You won't be going into a coma. You'll simply die unless you drink my blood. If I can't have you as my mate, then I will leave a piece of myself with you one way or another. This way is permanent." I feel like lying down in a pile of snow. My skin feels like it's blistering, and my chest is heavy."Why?" This is all I could muster. Even speaking is painful because my throat is so dry."I told you, you were supposed to be mine! I envisioned you for centuries, only for you to be claimed by the Lycan Royals. I have waited so long. So many years being alone because I thought waiting on you would be worth the wait. The Fates have a fucked up sense of humor." This woman is batsh
