Aries POV:"What do you want to know, kitten?""Well," Charlotte looked up from her half eaten plate of dessert. The warmth from her hot pie slowly melted her chocolate ice cream into a half-thawed brown soup. Hot apple pie and chunky chocolate ice cream sprinkled with chopped pecans and chocolate syrup didn't seem like the best combination but Charlotte seemed to love it. "I k-know that your kings and that y-your........Lycans?""Good girl." Theós purred out.She flushed, "And I also know that you both a-are really, really old.""Old? We're not old. Being 228 years old is very young in our world." Charlotte giggled as Theós poked her sides. His dark eyes hardened into a playful glare as he continued his teasing. "I think an apology is in order for hurting our feelings. And if not an apology, there are other ways to gain our forgiveness. What do you think Aries?""I think you're right Theós." I agreed. My wolf purred at the idea of our mate doing whatever we wanted. Perverted thoughts
Aries POV:I was devouring her.I was supposed to take things slow. I was supposed to ease her into her first kiss with us but I couldn't. I lost control. The second my lips touched her soft, plump ones, I was a goner. Her head automatically tilted to the side as I nibbled on her bottom lip.Charlotte whined. Lips shyly parting as my tongue wormed its way in. Her loud mewls plus her sweet taste made me growl as I tied to coax her lips to move with mine."You like what Aries is doing to you?" Theós whispered in her ear, "I can tell that you do. I can feel your wet pussy just soaking my thigh, baby girl."I've never been so happy to have my mate in a dress. The smell of her arousal waft freely in the air. The easy access and lack of proper barrier made me want to bury my face in her sopping pussy. I want to devour it just like how I'm devouring her sweet lips.Her lips shyly began to move with mine.With Theós help, her hips began to grind on his thigh."That's it baby girl." Theós cooe
Charlotte POV:The forest has always been a mysterious entity to me. Its lush, colorful leaves contradict the darkness it possessed. Innocent creatures frolic through their home, either fearing or coexisting with predators that lurked near. The glowing rays of sunlight peeked through the dense tree's, coating whatever darkness it landed on in a heavenly glow. The calming flow of the river was drowned out by the noisy critters that lived near or far.It was a home to all.And yet, one of the most dangerous places to be in.It's weird how-"Time." The pencil in my hand halted at the word. I set my pencil down, closing my journal since I knew I wouldn't be able to finish what I was writing. I glanced up at my therapist as I scooted back into my spot on the fluffy couch. "What would you like to do with what you wrote?"My attention went to the cover of my journal, trying to decide if I wanted to keep what I wrote to myself or to share it with her. This is a trust and confidence building e
Bates scowled at the woman that settled in the chair in front of him. She sat before him with a smuggish grin, cat like eyes taking his furious form that shook in his seat. He was angry. He wanted nothing more than to reach over and strangle her until the life left her body.But he couldn't.He knew he couldn't. It was a fact that only angered him even more.She rolled her eyes with a huff, "You could at least try and act like you're happy that I'm helping.""I didn't ask for your help. Nobody asked for your help." Bates sneered out, "Having you meddle in my business wouldn't make me happy. You know that. The fact that you're trying to act as if you're doing me a favor is only making it worse.""Yeah, yeah." Janet waved off his seething glare. Plucking an oatmeal flavored cookie from the plate, she dunked the treat into the awaiting hot tea. She let it soak for a few seconds, ignoring the low growls and threats that were coming from the steaming male. It took only a few more moments b
Aries POV:"..also, make sure she stays hydrated and eats. Charlotte has been throwing up everything and there have been times when she refuses to eat or drink anything. She especially needs to before she takes her pain medicine. You're going to have to break the pill in half since Charlotte isn't capable of swallowing a whole pill. Also-" Theós rambled out instructions as we gathered some last minutes supplies for Charlotte. I gave the contents of her mini fridge one last sweep before closing it once I was satisfied with what I saw."Theós," Raven interrupted, trying horribly to conceal her frustrated sigh. "I know what to do. It's not like I've never had a period before."Pausing in his pillow fluffing, Theós turned to face Raven with a glare. "I don't see your insides attacking you just because you're alive. Yours never been like this. You're not in pain, every waking second. You get to walk around all fine and fucking dandy while my mate suffers from something that doesn't even ma
"I told you to not wake up Charlotte!" Raven hissed, "I wanted her food to be done before we had to! She can't take her medicine on an empty stomach!""That doesn't mean you needed to hit me so hard! This will bruise!" He argued, "People might talk! They might think Nathan is abusing me! Do you want to put that on him?! Hm?!""Are you fuckin'-""Plus the food is almost done-"I couldn't help but to interrupt with a pain filled moan. "No food!"Tearing their attention away from each other, they turned to the pitiful sight of me. Kneeling down to reach my writhing form, Timothy's eyes roamed my body frantically. "No food? You never deny food.......anymore. Are you dying?""Yeah.""You can't die! You're not allowed to!" His head snapped towards Raven, "What the hell is happening to Charlotte? I thought you said she was on her period?! You've been on it a lot of times but I don't see you like this!""It's different for everyone. My cramps are either nonexistent or manageable." Raven answe
Aries POV: "Blue or purple?"I carefully studied the choices that were placed before me.On the right was a large teddy bear with fur that was colored in a light shade of pastel blue. A large pink bow was wrapped tightly around its neck. The shade matches the bear's nose, inner ears, and paws. Its eyes were a glossy black that shined brightly as the light bounced off them.On the left was a smaller sized teddy bear. The fur was a mix-matched patterned of lavender and dark purple. A bow also decorated this bear neck, shaded in a cool gray instead of a vibrant pink.I couldn't figure out which one Charlotte would like more. By the desperate look that was quickly etching on Theós face, I could tell he couldn't figure it out either. I pondered for a few more moments, eyes flickering between the two gradually. Decision made, I let my eyes finally settle on Theós. "Both." I firmly decided.His eyes widened, "Oh, she would love that.""Do you think she would like a new blanket? I saw this b
"What's wrong with Charlotte?! I want an answer right now or so help me, I'm snapping necks!" Theós hissed threatenly. His gaze swept our pack members, settling on Timothy with a vicious glare. "Answers. Now.""Timothy told Charlotte that she smelled, basically. And now Charlotte is freaking out because she knows you can smell her bloodiness." Raven gleefully explained a few feet away. Her dark blue painted lips pursed in a smuggish smirk as she continued her telling. "So basically, it's just Timothy being the idiot he is. Feel free to pumble at will.""You instigating bitch! I'll have my vengeances!" Timothy hollered angrily. He peered over Nathan's shoulder, a firm finger pointed towards the snickering Raven. His fingers swirled towards Theós and I, wagging back and forth between the two. "And I'm trying to tell you guys that she's fine! If you don't believe me then ask her yourself!""Fine. While we talk to Charlotte, I want you four to grab the presents from our car and put it in
We could tell her resolve was waning. Slowly succumbing to our sweet kisses and nuzzles, hands slowly tracing her supple curves, Aries and I happily soaked in the mewls that spilled from Charlotte. “Luna!”Damnit.“C-Coming!” She wiggled in our hold. Pressing her hands against my chest, attempting to shove me and my wandering hands away, only to end with her irritated huff. As a scowl made its way to her pretty lips, Charlotte glared, vicious and determined. “Let me go!”“But-”“Now!” I couldn’t stop the pout that made its way to my face as I let her go. Aries followed my lead, reluctantly uncurling his arms from her curvy waist, slumping and sulking as Charlotte scurried away from us. “Perverted Lycans. Can’t believe I almost let them distract me from the preparations-are those the lilacs I ordered?!” “Indeed it is.” The worker proudly presented the bundle of flowers that nestled in the vase. “There gorgeous, Luna. Where would you like for me to put them?”“Maybe we could put t
I could hear the battle raging outside.Beastly snarls and vicious growls. Hopeless screams and fearful pleads. It pierced through the air, the fury that came from my pack and the cries for mercy that came from the opposing warriors. Watching as the beasts fought against the other, teeth snapping towards jugulars and claws sinking into flesh and fur, it was a horrifying sight.Not being able to stomach the sight anymore, I turned my attention back to the brewing fight. Sanders nervously squirmed behind Bates. Gaze bouncing frantically from my furious mates to the seemingly dazed Bates, Sanders slowly began to shuffle forward. He probed Bates shoulder, hissing quietly in his ear. “We need to leave! I don’t think-” “You're not supposed to be here!” Bates shouted, “Charlotte is mine! Mine!”Lips curling to a murderous snarl, teeth shining with drool gleamed dangerously as my mates snarled at his words. It rumbled deep from their chest, menacing and threatening, as they crep
Aries POV:Everything was a blur.Tearing through the wilderness,As my eyes bled amber, a hot film of red anger settled into my gaze. Rage pumped through my body, seeping into my veins as fuel for me to keep pushing. It boiled hotly underneath my skin, seething and lashing with every second spent without my mate.I longed to have her back in my arms.Safe in the comfort of my embrace and away from the horrors she had to face.'We're approaching the edge of their territory.'My running slowed down to a cautious prowl as we approached the end of the forest. Light peaked through the twisted branches and bundles of leaves, I carefully slinked deeper into the shadow infested woods. My dark fur easily blending into the darkness that began to surround us.'Where is their patrol?''It's been like this since Tomoro's been captured.' Nathan answered, 'Seems like they're not entirely sure what to do without a dictator in place.''It's pathetic.' Theós sneered, 'As soon as the current Alpha dies
Theós POV:Forgiveness was not something I specialized in.I'm known to hold grudges. Cradling the memory of the wrongdoing that was done to me or my family. Forever logging it away to be used against the person whenever it was needed. Whether for petty reasons or sadistic, sometimes just for my satisfaction to watch them suffer or for revenge, I'll be the first to admit that I'm proud of my ways.I eyed the paper that laid on my desk. A list of items that Aries and I wanted for Charlotte when we arrived back home with her. Some new comfort items, a new journal, and healing ointments that were recommended to us by Ben.We are more than aware of the horrors that she's facing alone. Being forced to return to her violent abuser, we wanted the transition back home to us to be as smooth as possible."I think this is the best we can do until we get her home." Aries grumbled, eyeing his own list that laid in his hands. "We can add more stuff if needed then.""I suppose so."This is probably
Aries POV:I watched him.Slumped in a rickety chair, coarse rope wrapped firmly around his broken body. The rough cord dug into the open cuts, blood oozing slowly from the open wounds. Bits of silver laced into the thick material, seeping into his open wounds in painful licks.While silver could severely wound normal werewolves it merely annoyed those who were born Lycan. It poisons our weaker kin. Sinking painfully into their blood as it turns into a venomous sludge. To us, while extremely annoying and at times painful, it was more equivalent to the feeling humans get when they clean their cuts with alcohol.Jaw clenched, the muscles in his arms and legs tensed as he forced himself not to squirm at the feeling.I had to force my arms to remain crossed. The urge to reach over and snap his neck tingle in my fingers as I glared at him. Hatred burned deep within me with each second that passed by. Each second Charlotte was safed in her home, in my arms. All because of this bastard in fr
Charlotte POV:"Good" days were terrifying.Forcing my battered body to scurry around the house, I would be dressed in whatever prissy dress he wanted me to wear that day. Bruised face dolled up perfectly and frizzy locks brushed into a neat bun.I would slave over the stove to prepare Bates favorite meal. A thick cut of steak cooked in his favorite wine, leaking with blood and fine alcohol. On the side, he would prefer a heap of buttery spuds which would be mashed thickly by hand. He loved them best if they were laced with garlic and drowned in beef gravy. A pile of steamed green beans, infused with garlic and a dash of hot chili flakes, would usually complete the heavy meal."I miss this."It was weird.I could smell the familiar scent of seared steak gently wafting into the air. A delectable rub full of rich spices and tangy sauce. The cooked steak, soaking in golden oil and cooked wine, sat stiffly on my plate. Plump with juices, it leaked into the pile of buttery mash potatoes an
Bates POV:It's everything that I dreamt of.Watching as my men infiltrated the kingdom. They tore apart whatever they could lay their hands on. Wrecking the forest that once lay between us with a gleeful ease, storming into the first barrier of houses and stores with victorious howls and growls.The first ripple of terrified screams met my ears.The addicting stench of blood and death seeped into the air.Chaos.As my head tilted back, I inhaled deeply.It's been a while since I've been in battle. For the past few months I've been too busy trying to get Charlotte back home to me. The idea of trying to feed my blood lust without my precious girl waiting for me at home just didn't sit right with me. I want to be able to come home, dripping head to toe in the blood and cartilage of my enemies, being greeted by Charlotte.I miss it.I want it.I need it.My gaze lazily roamed over the trees as I heard the distinct sound of rustling. I perked up at the sight of Jane breaking through the b
"-WAS BED RIDDEN WITH A STOMACH ACHE FOR THE REST OF THE DAY BECAUSE YOU-"Idiot.I wonder what kind of party we could throw for Charlotte.Perhaps a princess theme would be something she would enjoy. We'll have to find some way for Charlotte to design her dress without her realizing what it's for. There could be a chocolate fountain and a spread of her favorite meals. We'll decorate the castle in expensive jewels and adorable ornaments.I could see it now.Charlotte happily twirling around in her pretty dress. A crown sitting proudly in her hair with a birthday stash resting perfectly around her torso. A gorgeous smile decorating her biteable, plump lips. Whatever pretty jewelry she desired decorating every inch of her body.She would look like a true princess.I couldn't wait.I frowned as the door handle twisted. It's probably nothing but I would rather the door be locked if Charlotte is in the room by herself."Hey baby! How are-" My voice trailed off as I took in the room my mate
Theós POV:"Oh my god!"I thought we were prepared.I thought we had a better chance of protecting Charlotte just incase they were dumb enough to attack us.We made sure to change up the guards position every so often. Orders to only allow certain wolves to patrol certain areas. Strengthening the weak zones while still making sure everywhere else was heavily secured.Routines were never the same. Private meetings that only held a selective few of wolves that Aries and I picked. It would be treason to even think about the meeting outside of the room, let alone speaking about it to someone who wasn't a part of the meetings."Oh! My! God!"Sharp canines coated with a lethal poison and steel like claws dug into his skin, easily tearing chunks of flesh from his body. Blood poured heavily from the wound, soaking through the white bandage with its rustic red hue. As the poison infused with his blood, tainting the once pure liquid into toxic sludge, purple veins protrude from the wound. It wr
