MasukMINA Elias kept laughing in the car, so hard I was convinced he might actually pass out.He slapped the steering wheel once, shoulders shaking as the road blurred beneath us. “That was golden,” he managed between breaths. “Did you see his face? Mina,” he sucked in air, grinning like a lunatic. “I love you.”I turned to him fast the moment I heard those words. “You… love me?”He almost stopped the car right there. It seemed he didn’t expect it either. I reached over instinctively and grabbed his arm. “Don’t. Keep driving.”Fortunately, he continued driving, easing back into the lane with a long exhale. He pursed his lips and glanced at me, his laughter fading quickly. “Isn’t it already obvious?” he said.I swallowed. “I just told you I liked you.”He smiled softly. “Love doesn’t need a timeline, sweetheart.”“No rush on your part,” he continued easily. “I’ll wait for you my entire lifetime if I have to.” His lips twitched. “Especially since you owned my brother like that. He couldn’
MINA“Brother?”The word echoed in my head as I finally removed my hands from my eyes and looked at the man standing before us. He was still unapologetically naked and radiating hostility. I shouldn’t have stared, but it was impossible not to compare. The similarities in their features were unmistakable; yet, it was clear who had won the gene pool lottery.Elias stood taller, broader, and more solid. Meanwhile, this man seemed coiled and restless. If they were cut from the same cloth, Elias had been tailored with care, while this one appeared frayed at the edges. Judging from the tension snapping between them, these two did not get along. At all.So yes, I was on Elias’ side. I just wasn’t foolish enough to announce it out loud.Elias pursed his lips and placed his hand over the steering wheel, but he didn’t start the engine just yet. “I see that the prison wardens really released you,” he said coolly. “I’m surprised. You should’ve rotted there your entire life.”I was right. They re
MINA“Should he be carrying so much stuff already?” I asked, watching Elias haul yet another bag toward the trunk of his car without much effort. Tessa glanced over, following my gaze. Elias was currently juggling three fishing rods, a tackle box, and something that looked suspiciously heavy slung over his shoulder.She nodded calmly. “Yes.”“That wasn’t very reassuring,” I muttered.“They’re fishing equipment,” she added, amused. “Rowan insisted.”I frowned slightly. “The two of them like fishing?”Tessa laughed softly. “Well, Rowan didn’t. At least, not until this year.”That made me pause. Elias had never struck me as the patient, sit-by-the-water type. He was more of a pace back and forth until something happened kind of man.“They only picked it up recently,” she continued, as though reading my thoughts. “It started as Rowan wanting a quiet hobby. Elias tagged along. Now it’s turned into… whatever this is.”“A midlife crisis?” I offered.“Competition,” she corrected lightly. “A
ELIAS Fuck.I didn’t even know how I survived last night without completely losing my mind.The memory alone was enough to make my underwear tighten again. She took my dick without any struggle after feeling challenged. It was my fault. I really should not have mentioned my past fuck buddies. Then, she drank my essence like it was milk. She said she hadn’t done it before, but her body knew what her mind didn’t even grasp.That had been a close one.I glanced down at her at that moment, still asleep against me, her lips faintly swollen, pinker than usual. The sight sent a low ache straight through my spine. My rut was still very much there, but I was… holding it together.Barely.‘Good job, Elias,’ I thought dryly. Stellar self-control. Ten out of ten. Surely the Moon Goddess would take notes and reward me with a longer lifespan for not pouncing on my mate the moment she breathed my name.I snorted silently at the idea.If she was watching, she was probably laughing.Mina shifted in h
ELIAS Was this real? Or was I dreaming? It felt like a little fairy was right between my legs, and she was looking up at me so innocently while licking the tip of my dick. I didn’t think my rut would come this soon after finding out we were mates. There were usually some signs before it would happen.However, the wolfsbane must have made me too weak, which led to this irregular cycle. My wolf was going crazy in my head; meanwhile, I couldn’t bring myself to push her away even though I knew this was wrong. It felt like I was corrupting her even though she was doing it out of her own accord. Where did she even learn this? The last time, she didn’t even know what a handjob was, and now she was giving me a blowjob? “Am I not doing well?” she suddenly asked with her lips still against the tip. I bit my lip to suppress a groan as I looked down at her again. “Fuck,” I cursed. “Who taught this to you?” For a moment, I felt a surge of jealousy run through my veins. “Tessa and Arden
MINA He didn’t respond after I asked him that question. He just kept moving restlessly, his breath uneven against my neck. I couldn’t move, not because he was pinning me down, but because my body had gone traitor on me. He was grinding against my thigh. I could feel the unbearable heat on my skin, making it feel too sensitive. He made a sound under his breath, appearing like he was fighting with himself. I squeezed my eyes shut.“Elias,” I whispered, sweat already forming on my temples. I looked at him, but he couldn’t even lift his head to meet my gaze. “Elias,” I said again, but he grinded once more against my thigh. “Do you need me to help you again?” I asked. That was when he made another sound. At that moment, a memory crashed into my thoughts. It was at that time when Arden, Cade, Tessa, and Rowan had gathered at Elias’ house. After telling me about Elias’ supposed future seen by Calla, they shifted onto another topic. “You really… held onto his cock?” Arden asked, eye
