APRIL The words barely sunk before I asked, “you want to what?” Nick’s rich laughter filled the garden as he cupped my face in his big palms, his eyes glinting with a mix of desire and affection as he leaned in and kissed my forehead gently, sending butterflies scattering throughout my body in a manner so fierce that I couldn’t believe it was triggered by such an innocent peck. “I’m saying, I don’t care about the full moon and the fact that I’m expected to be out hunting down some mate so I can rule better when I replace my father,” he spoke softly, in a way that made me feel like I was being serenaded. “The only thing about the full moon that excites me,” he leaned in closer, nibbling my earlobes hotly when the next words left his lips, “is the thought of making love to every inch of your mesmerizing body under the moon light.” My brain turned to mush and I felt my entire body shudder under his touch as a visual of how immensely beautiful that act would be formed in my mind’s ey
APRILThe scenery might’ve stunned me enough to want to drink it in for much longer, but Nick’s kisses were far more stunning and worth drinking in than any sight in existence. Unlike the way it was when we first walked into the house, his kisses were less hungry and rushed. This time around, they were slower and more deliberate, like he wanted to savor every second that our lips were joined as he gently led us towards the bed. Whatever the pace was, I simply loved having his hands on my body. Still, there was something about this gentle pace that made me feel like the most delicate flower in the world, like I was absolutely precious and he adored every inch of me so much that he couldn’t bear to rush the process of appreciating it. “Have i mentioned how perfect you are?” he moaned into my mouth as my back touched the bed and I couldn’t help but smiled against his lips. “Yeah, like a thousand times,” I told him as he pulled away and used his thumb to slowly trace the entire expan
APRIL When he finally came up from between my thighs, his face was glistening with my juices and it was the hottest thing ever. As if that wasn’t making my ovaries sing loudly enough, I looked down to find precum dripping from the tip of his dick and I let out a moan that was surprisingly loud as I slid out my tongue and licked my lips in anticipation. “Put that in my mouth, I need it,” I pleaded, my chest heaving as arousal cracked a clear path in my brain and took over my reasoning completely. He smiled at me, and he suddenly looked even more enticing than he already had. I just wanted to gobble him up whole and make him feel the same insane things he was making me feel. I wanted to shake the very foundation of his gorgeous being with passion and bliss like he was effortlessly doing to me. With one swoop of his finger over the tip of his dick, he swiped the liquid and before I knew it, he was shoving that same finger into my mouth. “Since you want to taste me so badl
NICK The sex with April felt more intense than usual. I couldn't explain it but it felt like my whole body and soul was in tune with it. My wolf wasn't left out. He felt too sated, and too happy. And the way April was looking up at her, eyes wild with pleasure, strands of hair on her face, it was too much for me to bear. I could dedicate my whole life to making love to her. I could feel the full moon shining at its brightest and since our wolves were always more active during it, I didn't think too much of my wolf straining to be let out. Until I could smell a sweet scent. The sweetest one I've ever smelled. And my wolf spoke through my mouth. “Mate.” April's eyes widened in shock while I was dazed from what just happened. In that instant, the amount of pleasure we felt from making love seemed to impossibly triple and neither of us could hold back the orgasms that crashed down on us, fierce, blissful, explosive, and unforgiving. Trembling in each other’s arm
APRILLast night was the perfect definition of absolute bliss.Before we realized that I was his mate, I thought that I’d already achieved the peak of pleasure with Nick from the countless other times that he’d fucked my brains out and made me cum violently hard. But last night had proven to me that I’d never been more wrong to think so. With our wolves in tune, communicating our every need and multiplying the pleasure by what was most definitely a thousand folds, I was soaring higher than ever on the waves of ecstasy. Since it was a full moon and we’d just been mated, every single emotion was more heightened than ever and it felt like we both wanted to drown in each other and never come up for air. I’d memorized every beautiful inch of his body and I could draw it on a canvas with my eyes clamped shut after how many rounds we’d gone on last night. We’d barely even slept, but I still felt amazingly well rested after the few hours of sleep we’d shared in each other’s arms. I’d just
XANDER“Goal! That’s a fucking hat trick now!” I whistled as I scored again. Conveniently, that’s when Ace’s game pad slipped out of his hands and he rolled his eyes at me, ever the sore loser. “Yeah, you caught me off guard that’s all, I’d have blocked it if my grasp on my controller was sturdier,” he made an excuse for losing like he had the last two times I scored a goal. I was about to call his bullshit when the sound of the door opening distracted us both and we turned towards it. When I saw that it was Nick, I paused the ongoing game, not because we started without him, but because he was acting very suspiciously. Ace clearly thought so too, because we exchanged puzzled glances. Nick wasn’t the grinch or anything, but we’d both never seen him this excited. He was humming a song, grinning from ear to ear and nodding his head to the rhythm as he approached us. I couldn’t even guess that he might’ve won the lottery, because when you were born into unending wealth like us, mone
XANDERThe right thing to do would be to back off now that Nick was fated to April, but I knew that nothing could keep me away from her. How could I possibly keep my hands off her when she was the only woman my body constantly craved? If I was still able to feel the least tinge of attraction to other women, I’d have considered it, but she’s the only one that still gives me an erection, like my dick only responds to her and thoughts of her. She’s constantly in my dreams. In my head. Swirling around in every sinful memory. “I came to tell you both the Goodnews and that you’ll need to keep your hands to yourself from now henceforth because she’s off limits,” Nick proclaimed, looking between me and Ace to make sure that those words had sunk. Ace didn’t say a word, he didn’t even seem the least bit interested in the conversation. He was just scrolling quietly on his phone and puffing cigarette smoke in the air like he was alone in the living room. Luckily for him, smoking didn’t bothe
ACEThe bro code is straightforward about shit like this. A fellow bro’s girlfriend is off limits, so I’m pretty sure it’s even stricter when it’s a fated mate and not just a girlfriend. Once Nick dropped the literal bomb of being her mate yesterday, I knew that I had to make an effort to get her out of my head, because despite how much of an asshole Xander was being, the truth remains that neither of us would’ve been comfortable with the others fucking a girl that turned out to be a mate. But I couldn’t leave her alone. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. Every now and then, I was running my wolf through the woods to void myself of thoughts of her, but then I’d end up jerking off in the shower or in bed whenever those thoughts resurfaced. I couldn’t count how many times I’ve had a boner in public from seeing her walk by or picking up on her scent. As though being turned on by her during the day wasn’t enough of a struggle, I kept having wet dreams about her every fucking night.
***The three most powerful Alphas had reconvened for a meeting again, and the focus of the day was April Lawson. She was the woman who held the strings of fate in her hands without even knowing it. Those strings were their precious Alpha Heirs, and if tugged on the strings hard enough, the entire world would come crumbling down as she unleashed irreversible damnation. The Alpha Kings couldn’t sit quietly and watch it happen, so they sat around a round table in their secret meeting place and sought to stop the deadly prophecy’s fulfillment. “She’s still at it, and we all know that this supposed peace at the moment won’t last long,” Alpha Davenport started the conversation. Alpha Bright shifted in his seat, focusing on the whiskey bottle that Alpha Jackson was tipping into a glass cup. He was patiently waiting his turn because he needed some liquor before he could tackle the unending and unnerving trial that April was. Having a conversation about a prophecy that would soon mark th
ACEThen, she wiggled out of my grasp and got on her knees before me, unzipping my pants and bunching them around my ankles before I could even process another thought. “Let’s give this big boy a hand, huh?” she bit her lower lip in a heated way as she pulled my briefs down and wrapped a hand around my cock. “Yeah, sure,” I made a strained noise as she started to pump up and down my softened length. That sound didn’t come from a place of arousal though, it was an attempt to voice my disinterest in any sexual act, but something forced that argument back down my throat before I could even voice it out. Brooke mistook it for encouragement and made her mouth join in by replacing her hands with it. She gave me one of the sloppiest blowjobs I’d ever experienced, but I didn’t still feel any shred of attraction or sexual stimulation. She’d even taken off her shirt so that her boobs were bouncing as she moved her head about while sucking my dick, but the sight wasn’t doing any good as lon
ACE“What do you think about these invites? I had them handcrafted by the best artists so that they would have a homely feel,” my mother grinned. The house staff by her side, Madam Zoe, placed the stack of invites in her hand on the table and my mother shoved them towards me and Brooke. “Oh, they’re wonderful! Absolute perfection!” Brooke gushed as she grabbed a copy of the invitation card from the pile. “I’m glad you love it, you’ve always had an amazing eye for detail and I worked hard to live up to that,” my mother said proudly. I peeked into the invitation card as Brooke held it closer to her face while grinning and I didn’t feel a shred of the excitement she was oozing with.Despite that, I still wanted to marry her because it felt like the only right option, the mere thought of not marrying her seemed like an utterly painful outcome. How could I feel so strongly about her and not be excited about the wedding in the slightest? It was a mystery to me. “You did amazing with t
APRIL I was in disbelief upon hearing Nick’s response. Frankly, I’d expected him to recite his usual bit about not wanting to share me, or hoping that I would come around to only wanting him, so I was completely shocked by his new take on the matter. Selfishly, a part of me was pleased that he was finally open to sharing me with Xander since Ace was now out of the picture. I felt relieved that I would no longer have to tiptoe around him when his friend asked me on dates or dropped in to visit. But one thing still bothered me, and I wanted to make an attempt to squash it even though it would mean losing Nick. Just like Ace, he deserved more than constant hurt and confusion because he was fighting for my affection. I just needed him to know that there was always the option of having a lover that would cherish him enough to want only him. After all he’d done for me, he deserved that courtesy. “Are you sure that’s what you want?” I asked in a solemn tone, holding his gaze as he did
APRIL Brooke was the first to meet my gaze, and that’s only because Ace’s gaze was still pinned on her. From the corner of my eye, I could see her rolling her eyes at me in disgust, but I didn’t care about that because I was too focused on Ace. Something about him seemed off but I couldn’t place a finger on it even if I tried. Still, he had his eyes on Brooke and he was looking at her like he couldn’t bear to look away for a second. It was borh infuriating and confusing because the Ace I knew barely ever looked at Brooke with such reverence. When I was present, I was the only one he was able fo focus on, and now, he wasn’t even willing to acknowledge my presence. He should be looking at me, not her, not anyone else. This couldn’t be the same man who’d driven to me moments after calling off his wedding and took me on one of the loveliest impromptu dates I’d ever been on. That man had his eyes on me and only me, and it was my undoing that that was no longer the case.Ace’s eyes be
APRILEven though I was watching a Barbie marathon to keep my mind off things, I couldn’t stop glancing at my phone every few seconds. Ace should’ve been up from his nap hours ago, it was almost evening now. If he was still passed out sleeping, I’d feel pretty bad that his hangover was so horrible because I was off the rails and he was trying to keep me from suffering the same fate he was now saddled with. However, since he was a werewolf—and an Alpha heir—I was certain that the effects of the hangover would’ve worn off by now. And yet, I had no calls or texts from him and that really bothered me. I strongly suspected that something was off. Besides, he said he would call when he woke up, and I’d been eagerly looking forward to it. On one end, I just wanted to know how he was doing and if his hangover had gotten better, and on the other end, I just really wanted to hear his voice again. “Fuck it,” I threw caution to the wind and searched up his contact before hitting the dail bu
ACEBrooke’s eyes flared open in awe at my response, but she wasted no time pulling me into the house and shutting the door behind me. Pretty soon, she was throwing her arms around me in a hug and something in me was more than eager to reciprocate, so I weaved my hands around her too. “You have no idea how glad I am that you’re here,” she squeezed me tightly.Her surprise seemed a bit far-fetched to me, because this feeling of deep longing for her was now my default mode and I expected her to have known that I’d come for her. On my way here, it was crystal clear that nothing in the world could’ve kept me away from her. “Of course, I’m here. I wanted nothing more than to set eyes on you again and now that I have, it’s the most amazing feeling in the world and I never want to leave your side,” I looked down at her as I spoke.Despite how every force in my body was gravitating towards her and assuring me that I was doing the right thing, something still felt strange about it.I could
ACEAlpha Davenport was a little too pleased to drive me to my parents’, and I could easily guess “why”.He assumed that Xander and I had made some reasonable progress while talking indoors and I was now heading home to make things right with my parents, but that couldn’t be further away from the truth. “Thanks for the ride,” I murmured as the car came to a halt outside my parent’s house. For some reason, Xander sputtered a laugh and his father shot him a confused look. I could guess what he found so amusing, but I didn’t share the same opinion on the matter so I didn’t react. Nothing about the hectic situation I was entangled in seemed amusing. “Anytime,” Alpha Davenport answered before driving off. Moments later, I was storming into the living room and startling my parents who were seated by the bar and sharing an afternoon cap. “Ace,” my mother nearly spat out the whiskey in her mouth, “you didn’t say you were dropping by.” I ignored that and kept walking towards them, my ey
BROOKE“Savant, Brooke speaking,” I answered. “The meeting has been set, but it’ll cost you a fortune,” Savant replied, and I could already tell that the fortune was monetary from his tone. “Nothing can cost more than the consequences of missing out on securing that meeting, I’m willing to pay anything,” I didn’t care that I sounded desperate as long as I got what I was gunning for. “Be on standby for the details,” Savant’s response was punctuated with the call’s end. Seconds after that, my phone lit up with a text from Savant with the amount I was being charged and the account to deposit it into. It was indeed a hefty sum, but I didn’t bat an eyelid before logging into a secret bank account where I saved for rainy days such as these and made the transfer. As soon as the payment was confirmed, Savant sent me a text with the meeting details and I was advised to arrive within the next hour or else I would lose my spot. In a second, I was hurrying out of the office and jumping into
