With a playful tug, Bryan pulled Kira back towards them, and Aiden was right there to catch her as she tumbled onto the bed.They all fell in a heap, their laughter filling the room as they landed on the soft mattress.Kira's towel barely stayed in place as she wriggled beneath them, still giggling breathlessly."Gotcha," Aiden said victoriously, his body hovering over hers as Bryan pinned her legs down with his."And you were saying?" Bryan asked her with a smirk.Kira could not stop laughing, her face flushed with joy. "Okay, okay, you win!" she giggled, trying to catch her breath."Of course we did." Bryan and Aiden said before sharing a quick glance and leaned down, their faces close to hers. "Morning, love," they said in unison, their voices gentle and deep. Ouuu!A smile spread across her face as her heart swelled at the sound. "Good morning, my Alphas." She said back, teasingly."And I will have you two know that you are impossible," she murmured, her voice full of affection as
Over the past few weeks, everything had fallen into place. Kira, Aiden, and Bryan had become inseparable, sharing moments of laughter, love, and warmth.They had even renovated Bryan's room, the largest in the mansion, just as they had planned and agreed on, transforming it into a space for all three of them to share.A new bed, large enough for all three of them, set and held the scent of them. Aiden had even placed a large armchair near the window, perfect for cozying up with a book. One could say that would be Kira's favorite spot in the room.Today, however, was not just another day. Tonight would be Kira's official introduction to the pack as their Luna. Rumors already had it that the Alpha twins had found their mate, now it was time to introduce her.The event was scheduled for nine at noon, and the evening was already creeping in.Kira was seated in front of the large mirror in her room, her heart racing with a mixture of nerves and excitement. She had been looking forward to t
"What is it, love?" Bryan and Aiden asked her. Giving her their full attention."Well, I didn't really want to say anything about it, but I don't feel confident, and I keep doubting that I'm a good fit or good enough for the Luna position, I'm not strong enough, I don't know I just feel like maybe I won't do well and all…" Kira rambled.As she rambled, Bryan and Aiden rubbed her hand softly, waiting for her to finish before they spoke."You will do well, I am sure of it," Aiden told her. "And even if there are places you need guidance, you have us, you have mother, father, and you will have many more. You already have it in you, Luna Kira.""And about not being strong enough, we will make you strong enough, to defend yourself, protect the ones you love and your people," Bryan added, "So don't worry love, keep your head up and believe in yourself just as we believe in you."Kira smiled sweetly at them, she felt so relieved now, and they boosted her confidence a lot. She let out a breat
Kira raised her head off the pillow. "Something for me?" she asked, blinking sleepily. Her curiosity was piqued, but she was too exhausted to fully sit up. "What do you mean?""You'll see," Bryan said, entering the room fully and shutting the door.He helped her sit up fully as Aiden brought out the Ring Box.The exhaustion from Kira's eyes seemed to reduce a bit as she stared at the box, Aiden finally opening it."Wow, it's beautiful," she muttered in awe. "Wait, but it looks like something I have seen before."Bryan chuckled and showed her his finger where the ring was. "That's because you have. I have the same and so do Aiden, Ryker, elders, warriors, and other people of higher ranks.""So that means this is not just an ordinary ring?" Kira asked, even being careful not to touch it until she knew what it was for."That is right!" Aiden answered, "It is called a moonlight ring.""Moonlight ring," Kira repeated after Aiden. "What is it for? The ring?""You know how we can change at w
Bryan's fingers grazed the nape of Kira's neck as he gently tugged the zipper of her gown downward. Her breath hitched as his lips brushed her shoulder with the addition of the cool air kissing her skin."Shower sounds relaxing," Kira murmured, his hand roaming lightly over her body, his fingertips tracing her curves.She was fully undressed now and without warning, Aiden's large hand came down with a sharp smack on her ass."Owh!" Kira's eyes widened as she blinked a few times. Before she could say more, Aiden's fingers curled around her soft ass and squeezed hard, making her jolt forward slightly."Aidennn," Kira whined, shooting him a playful glare. "Yes, baby?" He said, but there was a way he smiled and those eyes of his. Kira didn't even know when her lips parted, another breathless gasp escaping. His grip was so possessive.With everything happening, his hand was still there, giving her ass little squeezes and with a smirk, Aiden finally released her and nodded toward the bath
Kira nodded, and before they knew it, she slept off. Bryan and Aiden had to round up everything, wash their body calmly, including helping her dry off.Carefully, Bryan carried her to the room all dried up and laid her down in the middle of the bed. She was fast asleep. She really needed the rest. He then kissed her forehead and got up from the bed, going to put on some clothes while waiting for Aiden to come out."You know we have to go see Morane," Bryan said to Aiden, immediately he stepped out. "We haven't gone to see her since that day, she should be expecting us.""That's true," Aiden agreed, and started getting dressed too. "We do have to see her."After getting dressed, Aiden kissed Kira on her forehead just like Bryan had done earlier and thereafter, they left. They reached Morane's home in less than twenty minutes and were welcomed in."Alphas, I thought you would not be coming anymore," She said to them, offering them a seat, which they took this time."Apologies, Morane
Morane, Bryan and Aiden left the Pack. Morane had suggested it would be best to do this somewhere else, and she already had a place in mind. And since it was night, it was the best time for them to carry out the ritual.They reached a place, quiet with no single sound, not even sounds of animals. It was not really far from the pack, but not close either."We will do the ritual here," Morane informed them as she started bringing out the things she would use for the ritual. "We will start now."Morane took out a Himalayan pink salt and used it to draw the circle that would be needed for the ritual.Then she placed her candles around the circle. Black Candle placed north, White candle placed east and Purple candle placed south. The black represented absorption, protection and banishment, the white represented clarity, purification and new beginnings, while the purple represented transformation and spiritual growth with some abilities.She was using separate candles so that it allowed her
Morane could not answer, her body trembled as she fought the power that refused to release her.Her breath came in short, her vision getting blurred, the blood in her eyes clouding her sight, but she could still feel the twins' presence within the circle."MORANE STOPPP, RIGHT NOW!" Aiden shouted right after his brother."I… can't…" she gasped. Her arms were already aching, her head also throbbing, and the pain was nearly unbearable.But despite the pain she felt, she fought to stay conscious.Bryan and Aiden could not stand there anymore and tried to run to her. But as they tried, she picked up the sound from their footsteps, immediately she forced herself to scream, "DON'T LEAVE THE CIRCLE."Bryan and Aiden stopped in their tracks, all the while staring at her."We have to do something, Morane," Bryan said to her.Before she could respond, the energy within the circle and around her surged violently, and with a powerful force blasted through the space and flung her backward like a r
Dinner was great as always—the laughing, the conversation, the playful banter, everything. It was no surprise that manners were forgotten at the dining table, hence the talking while eating, and now everyone was relaxed and chatting as they were all done eating."Dad, Aiden and Bryan are just… they just won't stop messing with me," Kira complained to Orion, gesturing to Aiden and Bryan, who were grinning at first but immediately kept their faces serious when she complained about them."What now?" Orion asked Kira after looking over at his twins. "What are they doing this time?""Nothing," Bryan answered before Kira could. "We are literally not doing anything to her except keeping her on her toes. She can't even stay still on those toes, you know. We are simply just having fun, father.""Exactly," Aiden said and nodded in agreement. "We are not doing anything to her.""Seriously?" Kira asked them, although she hid her smile and feigned annoyance, just so Orion could side with her."So
Kira's mouth dropped open. "You—!"But before she could even finish what she was about to say, Bryan, who was already close to her, leaned down and planted a quick peck on her cheek, making her eyes widen instantly.The audacity!Then, without giving her a chance to retaliate, he moved past her and took his seat at the dining table like nothing had happened.Laughing softly and shaking his head, Aiden stepped closer to Kira and stood beside her. "Bryan, I don't even know what to say to you," he muttered, while still laughing.Meanwhile, Elara and Orion looked at each other with amused expressions before turning their attention back to Kira."Well, at least he was honest about it." Orion said to Kira while chuckling, enjoying how his son teased her. "I'll get back at you, Bryan Tyrell," Kira threatened, narrowing her eyes at Bryan and crossing her arms. "Oh, I will!"Still laughing softly, Aiden leaned in and pressed a soft peck to the side of her head. "Don't mind him," he murmured a
Kira smiled warmly and raised her hand to Aiden's cheek. She caressed his cheeks, her smile growing wider, before she leaned in and gave him a soft peck on the lips. "Let's go," she whispered, her gaze not leaving his.Aiden nodded and smiled back as he started pulling away to stand; his heart warmed from her gentle affection and soft peck.As Kira sat up and got ready to get out of bed, she glanced around, noticing that Bryan wasn't in the room. "Where's Bryan?" She asked Aiden, her brows furrowed slightly. "Did he go somewhere?"Aiden opened his mouth to respond, but before he could speak, the bathroom door opened and Bryan walked out."I'm here," Bryan said in a casual, deep voice. "Missing me already?"Kira turned, a smile creeping up her face again. "Yes. As a matter of fact, I missed you so very much," she admitted as she got up and walked toward him before he could reach the bed.She stood close, Bryan looking at her with a playful smile and a raised eyebrow. He tilted his h
Kira walked slightly ahead of her mates as they returned home together, her heart and mind full.Aiden was the first to take her hand, walking closer and slipping his hand under hers before curling his fingers around hers. His grip was gentle at first, and then he held her closer.As Kira felt his hold, she turned her head slightly, her brown eyes meeting his dark ones, and smiled softly at him before looking ahead again.Meanwhile, Bryan, watching them, walked closer. He decided to do the same as his brother and slid his fingers between Kira's, his hold warm. Kira smiled softly and turned to him, not surprised that he had followed Aiden, her eyes full of love.As they held her hands and walked back home, they didn't let go, and soon they reached the mansion. The house was quiet when they stepped inside, but they didn't stop. They walked up the stairs and entered their bedroom together, still holding hands.It was only when they reached the bed after shutting the door did they final
Leaning into Bryan, Kira took slow, uneven breaths, trying to calm herself. She knew it wasn't their fault for making such a decision, but it didn't help with how she felt inside. She was sad, exhausted and emotionally drained.She knew they would do anything for her, yet those words, "We can't ask you to wait for us," lingered, and it pained her so much. It pained her that there was nothing much she could do but leave. Staying might destroy them even more than leaving. And Kira knew that.She let out a shaky breath as Bryan rubbed her back and whispered sweet, soft words to her, her weight pressing into him as she could no longer really hold herself up. "It's okay," Bryan murmured, his chin resting lightly on the top of her head while he continued rubbing her back in slow, comforting circles. "We are here. We got you."Hearing those words from him almost made her start crying again, but she held back and nodded against his chest, whispering, "I know, and I got you too."Bryan, also
Stepping outside, Bryan leaned against the outer wall. He tilted his head back and closed his eyes, his chest heaving as he tried to calm himself and steady his breathing, but that was impossible. The ache in his heart refused to let up. He took deep breaths and exhaled shakily, his knuckles already white because of how tightly he balled his fists. After some minutes of inhaling and exhaling, he tightened and relaxed his fists, before he felt a hand on his shoulder.Bryan didn't need to check when he felt the hand on his shoulder; he just prepared himself, knowing what was coming, and he knew that whatever was coming was going to be for the best."You know what we have to do." Aiden's voice was low, controlled, and filled with the pain he didn't try to hide. He stepped closer, his hand still on Bryan's shoulder. "It will be for the best.""I know, Aiden," Bryan nodded, his throat tightening as his voice broke slightly. "I know. I just—" He stopped, closed his eyes and sucked in anot
Aiden raked a hand through his hair, the hopelessness of the situation frustrating the life out of him. "I don't understand," he said to Morane, the frustration in his tone fully on display. "There has to be another way! What do you mean, we have to stop being mates?""Look, I am not angry with you. You have done a lot for us, and we are genuinely grateful, but this…this was the last thing I expected to hear. I never even expected to ever hear such," he said as he leaned forward slightly and ran his hands over his face before gripping his hair in desperation. "This curse of a thing is just so exhausting.""I know, I understand," Morane said, raising her hands slightly. "But listen to me first. Please calm down," she said softly, fully understanding what the three of them were currently going through. "The curse can only be broken by the witch who cursed you or someone from her bloodline. Do you understand what that means? We do not even know who the witch is. Talk more about someone f
Bryan, Aiden, and Kira immediately rose from their seats, shocked by what they had just heard. They exchanged quick glances as each of them waited to hear what Morane would say next."What is it?" Aiden asked, stepping forward slightly. "What is the curse?""This is not a matter to be discussed here," Morane said with a shake of her head. "Please, come with me.""That is true," Aiden said, nodding in agreement. "Alright, let's go."At that moment, the maid Kira had instructed earlier came out of the kitchen, carrying the reheated dishes on a tray. "Alphas, Luna," the maid called out as she began placing them on the table. "Are you going somewhere? The food is ready.""About the food," Kira said. "Just put it back for now. We will eat later.""Okay, Luna," the maid replied and nodded obediently. Then, the maid gathered the dishes back on the tray and returned to the kitchen.Morane, who was about to leave, stopped when the maid called out to the Alphas and Kira. And when Kira was done
Bryan and Aiden agreed without hesitation, and Kira followed them out of the room, down the passage until they stopped in front of the hidden room door.Aiden pushed it open and stepped aside so she could enter first.As Kira entered, she looked around, and it was definitely not what she had expected. The room felt too impersonal, too functional. It felt like a cell to her. Her eyes scanned the room, and then she noticed the shelf on one side.On the shelf, she saw small bottles filled with liquids. The contents themselves looked quite strange as she picked it up carefully and asked, "What is this?""Morane made that for us," Bryan explained as he stepped closer, watching her calm expression to everything. "It is meant to help us for the curse. She is also the one who told us to prepare a room like this when she first found out about the curse. She wanted us to be prepared just in case, because she had a very bad feeling about everything.""I see," Kira nodded, turning the bottle in h
