I sit taking in everything around me as Ariella speaks, and the moment her final words come from her lips I see a look of realisation hit the faces of both Cayden and Jackson, and I see their faces fall. I, too, understood the meaning behind her words. She had seen the visions linked to this prophecy, how many, she had not disclosed, but she knew that her end was linked to it, and that in itself must be terrifying to have realised. Yet, this strangely intriguing frail old woman, seems bizarrely calm about the whole thing. Perhaps she did not fear what was to come... I see Jackson’s face is now etched with concern, and considering the times I had seen him with this elderly woman they had done little else but bicker, it surprises me that her imminent demise would affect him so greatly. “You will have died?” his voice is hoarse, telling me he is struggling to get his words out. I can see Cayden’s eyes watching Ariella’s response intently too. Maybe the Beta and the Al
I have no clue what came over me. Aiden was talking, and then Micco was in my mind telling me to mark him. My canine teeth were there… Micco clearly assisting in that… the moment my teeth sank into his skin, all I could smell was him… and everything Cayden had said made sense. It was the strangest sensation. I felt a surge of something close to pleasure running through me as the part bond formed and snapped into place, and the taste of his blood filled my mouth. I licked the slow trickle of blood from the small scar I left within his skin, and I noticed him shudder, making me question if he had felt the same sensations I had. I do not look at men in the way he perhaps did, but I felt a pull to him now, I didn’t want him like Evelyn, but I am drawn to him. He is mine. Then I realised with a sinking heart I marked him without even asking him if that was okay with him. Yes, we were mates. It was something we had discussed would have to happen, but had not said when. Ma
The moment Jackson and Aiden left the kitchen I was ready to whisk Evelyn away to my room. So glad to finally be alone with her again. This sharing her was going to be hell! Though the fact I knew she had just been with Aiden, and the whole time she has been sat within my lap I could smell his scent all over her was more than a little off putting, I cannot lie! “Did Jackson seem stressed to you?” Evelyn looked to me, her head cocked to the side. I look back at her, a little surprised by her question. Had he? I can’t say I had noticed. Though with Evelyn sat on my lap, almost grinding against my cock, it was hard to concentrate on much else other than her. “Well, I was a little shocked when he marked Aiden out of the blue.” I admit. She shakes her head gently. “That wasn’t out of the blue though was it, we spoke about it, you guys said it had to happen, so it was planned to some degree.” I guess you could consider it that way. Still seemed a l
I stand and watched Aiden pacing in front of my office window. He had barely spoken. I am waiting on Cayden arriving. Obviously he would be unable to respond seeing as I put a block on his mindlinks, irritated at the fact he had the nerve to argue with me. Knowing why he was choosing to argue with me was because he wanted to be alone with Evelyn… “Aiden?” I break the heavy silence weighing down the room, desperate to distract myself. He absent-mindedly glanced in my direction. “Hmm?” I walked over to the window to stand alongside him. “You seem quiet. You okay?” I ask, curious at the sudden change in him. “Hmm.” Was all I got in response again. I begin to think about how long it should have taken Cayden to get down here from the kitchen. He should be here by now. Even if he had snuck off to his room at the first given opportunity, he should still be here… ‘Cayden? You on your way?’ I go to link him, only to find the link blocked. I feel an
Running down the hallway out of Cayden’s home my sides are aching from laughing so much. I cannot believe we have just done that. Jackson is a bastard for even thinking of it, but damn, I am glad he did, I have not laughed so much in ages. Cayden’s face was a picture as he turned around as that water hit him. Jackson grabbed my hand as we ran from the front door. “Quick we will head to my place.” So I followed him as we ran across the landing, still laughing. “That was so funny.” I say breathlessly as we reach his front door. “Cayden is out for blood. He just mindlinked.” Jackson tells me with a grin. “We got him good.” “He will be planning revenge then?” “Without a doubt. But we can always come back with better. Like I told you, the best team wins.” He winks at me as he goes to close the front door behind us. I look around his Alpha suite. It is nice. Similar to Cayden’s place, but more neutral in colour. The door pushed open just before Jackson was abl
I cannot believe what I have just seen. Admittedly, I had been struggling to believe what Jackson and Aiden had done. That had most certainly taken me by surprise. But I could see that was perhaps done in good fun, they had been laughing and were clearly messing around, not that Cayden saw it that way. But this, no this was clearly done in anger. The atmosphere in the room when I walked in was tense. Horrendous. And quite honestly, it scared me. Seeing the three men I have been fated to attacking one another on the floor, for no apparent reason when we are all meant to be as one, meant to make one another stronger made no sense to me. It hurt. Even my wolf, Orla was whimpering. Though anger was flowing through me. These men are fools, yet for some reason they had been blessed to me. How are they meant to be the ones that are able to help me with anything other than going insane?! I was certain if this continued they would be the ones to send me insane! I head to my o
We all stand up in the hallway of Jackson’s Alpha suite, looking dishevelled, and blood dripping from us. Bruises upon us in various stages of healing, claw marks and scars also in differing healing phases. Evelyn walked out on us. She sounded more than a little pissed off. Maybe fighting physically had been a little childish… a little adolescent… The three of us look to one another, the same uncertain expression upon our faces. “What now?” I asked, not liking that she had walked out so angrily. “We ask her to come back, I guess.” Jackson said, with a shrug. Hmm, why do I think it is going to take a little more than that this time? But, I suppose, if nothing else, it could be worth a try. We had to try something, because I truly did not want to leave it like this. ‘Evelyn, please, beautiful, come back, let us speak with you.’ I mindlink, hoping she would at least give us the opportunity to apologise to her and explain ourselves. She had to kno
I see Cayden stroll from his apartment, now fully clothed and I have to say I am glad. The moment he noticed me taking in his half naked body was more than a little humiliating, yet he did not seem to even flinch. He was a werewolf, a Beta one too, he was always going to have a fine human form. But I know he is not interested in men, and I am certain the pull and attraction to him is nothing but the matebond we created in marking one another, and the connection through Evelyn messing with my mind. But still, I did not want him seeing me looking at him that way... There was never any attraction to him before when I had seen him around the pack. It made me uncomfortable that now I felt my eyes drawn to him. And on more than one occasion he had caught me eating him with my eyes. How I was going to cope living with the man was yet to be discovered... needless to say, I am more than a little nervous about that... “Right, we going to find our girl then?” Cayden asked wit
