{ Asheron } I can tell there's something going on in Cain's mind as I go through the exercises I know like the back of my hand by now. This is my last physiotherapy appointment, though, I'm officially cleared now. The doctor praised my physical exams for ten whole minutes, talking about how healthy I am, even after going through what I went through, with most of my organs being affected one way or the other. Hearing I’m basically a medical miracle because of how strong my body is put me in a mindset I haven’t been since I came back to life. I just want to keep growing stronger now. I want to go back to the man I was, if not better. Stronger. As soon as the doctor said I'm perfect to get back out there and be the Alpha again, Cain got silent and pensive. He even started biting on his nails, so I know for sure there’s something bothering him. I wait until we're out of the medical center to bring it up. "Wanna go hit the gym with me?" I ask as we're walking to my car. Cain looks
During my dad's birthday party at our palace, I let Georgie catch up with the friends she has in my pack. A group of girls she hasn't seen in a while. My parents are socializing normally for the first time since I came back, so I know they don’t need me. And I stay away from Cain too, because I can't stop myself from thinking about his plan, almost in an obsessive way. He’s hanging out with Justin and some of our friends. I’m sitting in a corner at the bar, nursing my fourth glass of whiskey and looking down most of the time so I can go unnoticed as much as I can. I’m definitely not in a good mood today, not after being declared a medical miracle and a very strong man and not being able to do anything about it. If I hadn't fucking died in Sebdio, I would be attacking Fox right now. I would make sure the territory is mine before even proposing to my girl. I probably would be celebrating my conquest right this second. But I got myself killed in a conquest already, so now Georgie is
{ Cain } It has been a couple of weeks since I've been in a relationship and I thought I had it handled. I thought I was ready to get married, actually, but I'm realizing I'm actually not. Because I don't think wanting to kill one of our partners is part of having a healthy relationship. But yeah, I want to kill Asheron right now. What the fuck is he trying to do? This is like at the beginning when he was trying to win over me or something. We’re not in competition anymore so I don’t understand what he’s gaining out of lying. We walk for a few minutes, pretending everything is fine until we reach the Blues palace and we walk inside. Sadly, there's a lot of people inside too, so we have to fucking keep going until we reach a lonely living room. Georgie closes the door behind us and puts her hands on her hips as she looks at us. She’s not happy at all. "Explain. Asheron, you go first," she says, in her serious voice. I look at him but I swear if he tries to lie again, I might ac
My dick never gets the chance to go down because this is really hot too, the way she's on her knees in front of Ash, licking his dick again. And the way he’s looking at her, as if she’s the hottest thing to ever live… and she is. "Stop trying to prove something, man, just come already," I let out a moment later, annoyed at the fact that Ash is not losing his mind yet. He laughs at me but he lets himself go a few seconds later and comes in her mouth too. As soon as he's done, he grabs Georgie's arms and pulls her up, as if he can't handle to have her down there for another second. "You okay?" He asks. Georgie nods, smiling. I know she's fucking okay. She loved that. "Are you okay?" She asks back, "You don't look drunk anymore." "It went away," he says and gives her a kiss on the forehead, "Want me to reciprocate?" "I can eat you out right now, just say the word," I jump in, just in case she thinks I'm being selfish, "Or I can fuck you, I'm still hard." "Don't worry, I c
{ Georgette }"Do you have an estimated date for the wedding?" Jana asks as we're having tea together. My smile freezes and she can tell immediately this is an awkward subject to me at the moment, "Sorry, I'm not trying to push or anything...""I know. But we kind of haven't talked about it," I murmur and let my teacup down with a tired sigh, "I thought it would be the obvious and quick next step, but apparently not. The guys have been focused in other things."Like Cain being the Alpha of Kallistar again. For some reason he's so excited about it, he's starting to train with Asheron everyday. It's been five days since Aldo’s birthday party. Cain started training that next day, but Justin just left the pack today. He'll be away just a week, so I promised I wouldn't make big deal out of it. I don't think there's going to be anything dangerous happening in just a week."In my experience, men don't think of marriage as something urgent. They tend to take their time, especially if they ha
{ Asheron }We haven't seen Georgie in four days straight and I'm starting to get worried and impatient. Today, I let Cain take on the day’s responsibilities by himself so I could take care of some stuff in my own pack, but now that that's handled, I'm debating on whether to go back to Kallistar to help Cain or go to Colucci to see Georgie and ask in person if everything is fine.We haven't had any fights at all and she's been kind of normal over the phone, so I don't think she's angry at us… but she's obviously not happy either because she's deliveratly choosing not to spend the nights with us.We’ve been so tired, we just past out immediately anyway, but having her warm little body between us at night would be nice. I think she's probably feeling neglected because we've both been busy and spending a lot of time together without her. Maybe she's jealous or feeling left out. Or maybe she's realizing we're keeping something from her. I hope that’s not the case.Before I can keep cons
When I walk into Georgie's room, Jos stands up from the bed. She was obviously laying down watching TV with Georgie. "Sorry, Jos, I didn't know you were here," I say with an apologetic smile, "Can you give us a moment?" "It's okay, Ash. Of course," she says and walks away immediatly. Georgie pauses the show they were watching and starts putting away some clothes. I think she went shopping today. "Hi, my love," she says and opens her arms for a hug as soon as I’m close, "What are you doing here? You didn't say you'd come visit me.” "I wasn't planning to. Something came up," I say and swallow to give myself courage. I am a brave man... but I hate to make Georgie upset. I really hate it, "Can we sit down? I have something to tell you and it is serious." "Oh," her smile disappears right there and I can see her body getting tense, but she listens to me. She sits down in her bed, so I sit next to her, "Give it to me straight." If that’s what she wants, I definitely can give it to her
I walk out of Georgie’s palace and I drive straight to Kallistar again. I’m tired of driving already and my head is starting to pound, but I have to see Cain and let him know what’s happening. We have to make a decision together. Selfishly, I’m glad I’m not alone in this. I know Cain is going to be by my side, whatever happens.I find him in wolf form as soon as I walk into the gym of his palace. He’s been very serious about getting his wolf in top shape and I’m proud of him for putting so much effort. I walk until I reach him and I pat his big head. And yeah, I’m still not over the fact that this golden male wolf is my mate. “Hey, Pup. We have to talk,” I tell him with a grimace, “And it won’t be a fun talk.” Immediately, Cain shifts back and stands in front of me, naked and panicked. “What happened?” he asks, already anxious. I point to his clothes because I need him to put his dick away before we have a talk about possibly losing Georgie. He jumps into his shorts, forgetting a
"I don't like you, what are you doing in my palace? I thought I told you, your family is banned from my territory," she says that directly to me. "He showed up unannounced, babe." "I come here in peace," Cain says and takes something out of his pocket. It's a card. Nina frowns, but she can't fight her curiosity so she walks closer to grab it, "It's a 'shut the fuck up' coupon to use on my mom. You can give it to me at any point if you ever need to tell my mom to shut the fuck up. I will do it for you and I will be aggressive about it. She deserves worse for being such a bitch that day. I'll take the fallout for you." "To be honest, I'm not that scared to do it myself," Nina murmurs, but a smile starts to grow on her face, "However, this is appreciated." "Can we start over?" He asks, taking a step closer, "I am actually very, very cool. I swear." "Mhm, I’ll be the judge of that," Nina says, punching his arm like she usually does when she's play-fighting with her brothers. Cain tu
"I can't fucking believe I said that," he says, covering his face in shame, "It was extremely disrespectful, I'm truly sorry. And I guess you're right, this isn't new, I just haven't fully gotten over it. Of course I will one day, this is still new. But you're my girl, I do desire you a lot, you are very pretty in my eyes. I just can't wait for you to grow up some more." I nod with a sigh. "I'm not angry, not like last time," I assure him, Justin takes a deep breath in relief, "But I don't love to know I make you feel guilty or bad. It's good that we haven't had real sex yet, I don't want it to be a bad experience for either one of us. I want to feel wanted and loved. So, I think what we should do is... put a pause in the sexual aspect of our relationship." "What?" He gets tense and looks at me like I'm crazy, "That's not what I want." "Yeah, but it's what I want," I say, clenching a fist. It's not what I want at all, but fuck him for making me feel like wanting me is wrong, "Not
"I'm sorry you had to hear all that, I really am sorry," the King says, looking down in embarrassment, "My wife..." "Don't worry, I get it. Justin shouldn't have surprised any of us with this news, it's not something easy," I say, eyes set on my mate's. He's totally freaking out, "I think I've caused enough damage, can we just go now?" "Yes," he almost whispers and just gives one last look to his dad before grabbing a suitcase so we can leave, but he stays silent as we walk out, all the way to the car. And even when he starts driving, "I'm sorry, Nina." "You should be. This was 'that bad' and then some," I mutter, looking out the window, "About everything else you said… don't even say sorry. It's simply what you feel and I understand, let's leave it at that." "No, no, I don't want us to be at odds again," he says, his hands tightening on the steering wheel, "I want to clarify, I didn't mean I'm not attracted to your or that I don't like you, that's the opposite of the truth." "I
"Let's go," Justin wraps an arm around my waist and he leads me outside. "Wait, son, I'm sorry I haven't said anything. I was just processing and..." the King finally speaks and I try to stop and hear him out, but Justin keeps me moving. He doesn't even give his dad a look, he takes me all the way to the foyer. "Wait for me here, I'll go pick some stuff, then we're going back to Fox," he says and leaves, almost as fast as he brought me here. I sigh and look for a chair so I can get comfortable, but when a couple minutes pass and I realize Justin is probably going to take a long time, I start wandering a bit. It's so weird that this place has so many corridors and different living rooms. Like this one. It's exactly the same as the last one I entered. I don't know what specific purpose it serves but... I stand very still when I hear footsteps coming closer and then two different voices. I gasp and look around for a place to hide. I find a little closet and run to hide in there.
"Cain!" Justin roars and a couple of seconds later I feel some relief and I can breath again as the huge man gets lifted and my fated mate comes to my rescue. He grabs my arms and picks me up, "Are you okay, Nina?" "No," I complain, my whole body hurts, especially my ass and my chest. The guy crashed against me like he had a personal vendetta against me, "What the hell? Who is that hippopotamus?" "Nina," Justin sighs, still not happy with me. He moves away to let me see the guy and points at him. I know who he is as soon as I look at his face, "This is my brother, Cain." He looks like a younger, less manly version of Justin. "I'm so sorry, kid, I totally didn't see you," he says with a grimace, he's still trying to recover too. He looks at me deeply and frowns, "Since when do we hire minors, dad? Isn't child labor illegal here?" Great. Amazing. So, Cain is an asshole. I sigh and look at Justin, he looks even angrier now. I don't know how this is going to play out if my ma
During the drive to his pack, Justin tries his best to make me feel less nervous. I'm sure he can smell my stress, fear and nerves all mixed up in my scent. Thankfully, he assures me over and over everything is going to be fine and he asks me so many questions to get me rambling that I actually start to get distracted. Until we get to Kallistar and I enter the pack for the first time in all my life. I swear it's like a new filter is unlocked to my eyes. So much color, everywhere. There's even a big welcoming mural, as if a lot of people travel from Fox to Kallistar. The grass is really greener over here, the sky is bluer, the roads are so perfect and clean. This is a whole different world for me. I'm almost scared. Because I know this is basically my pack now. But I kind of like my ugly, old, messed up pack. It has character. It's full of working people who are always willing to help one another. No one thinks they're better than other people in Fox but I'm sure over here everyon
"So, that means... I have to be the one to do something about it?" I ask, swallowing in nerves. Justin lies down next to me. "Not necessarily if you don't want to. All I'm saying is... I need to relieve some pressure," he says, "I've been so stressed about the conquest and scared about my brother possibly being in danger. And you being mad at me. I was so fucking tired and stressed." Oops. I guess that's my fault. Or his, for pissing me off to begin with. "Well... if you tell me what you like, I could help you," I offer, excited again. To touch him, make him feel good. It's my right, after all. But again, Boring Justin gives me a look that says he's not that sure, "Do I really have to beg a man to let me make him come? That's not fun, Fated Mate." "No, no, it's not like that. It's not like I don't want you," he rushes to say. I squint at him. He keeps saying that but not showing me, "I just... don't feel... okay. Tell you what. If you really want to touch me, you can do it."
I wish we could do it again (and again, and again) but I have a feeling Justin will get in his own head again. He just can't accept me for some reason. This past few days I've been doing research in fated mates. It's always what I thought it should be... instant love. Instant passion. Instant love-making. Obviously, because what else is it going to be when you find the literal love of your life? People never fight it... except for him. And why? Because apparently he doesn't like the way I look. Or, he does, but then he feels guilty about it. I sigh and roll in bed. My nose catches his scent in the sheets and I moan, feeling all tingly again. I gulp and my hand moves down south to relieve the pressure, but then I gasp when I remember why I woke up so early today. I jump up and run to put on my clothes on go to work. ➿➿➿➿ Justin and his brother were successful. When I get his text in my new super fancy phone, I almost pass out with relief. He told me a few times that it wasn'
That makes her look up at me again, confused. "We're going to get the territory today. I could technically die out there," I say, even though I know the chances are slim to none. I guess I just want a little kiss. For me, but for her, too. { Nina } One little kiss. This man who has been practically ignoring me even though he invaded MY home is asking me for a little kiss? After grinding his dick against me last night? He has some nerve. "Okay," I say, because... what am I to do? I've been waiting for this opportunity the whole fucking time. I’m not the one who hates this bond. I know I shouldn’t be so easy, but I am. I want that kiss so bad. Justin licks his lips and ends the distance between us, but not too fast. He takes his time, looking into my eyes for a few seconds. "I'm really sorry I made you mad," he whispers, melting my insides, "We've only been mates a few days and I already fucked up, I can't even begin to explain how shitty I feel. I'm just trying to do t
