I am still grappling with the enchantment cast by my cursed mate, as I strive to stand tall and unleash my full potential.
She commands us to halt, and we obey as if she were our Alpha, our superior.
Never have I beheld a male surrender to his mate without bearing the mark of two souls being one.
The mere thought of Blaze and I being mated to the daughter of our arch-nemesis is beyond my wildest imagination.
Surely, the Moon Goddess cannot expect us to accept the destiny she has woven for us.
Not only that, but the thought of sharing my mate with my best friend and future Alpha does not sit well with me as a burning, possessive sensation slivers up my bare spine.
“So, she is your mate too?” Blaze snarls with a menacing tone as he locks eyes with me as if it were fated to happen upon me capturing the sight of her for the very first time. “If the thought of you touching her sends violent visions of me ripping your throat out with my bare hands is... reassuring, then yes. My inner wolf is howling out to her as he craves her sweet scent more than his next breath.”
“If that is the case, then we must learn to accept our fate as three. The Moon Goddess gifted us with a mate and granted us one last chance to try to save our pack. We will accept her wishes and abide by the laws.”
“She is a witch,” I growl with distaste, unfazed by Blaze’s words of wisdom and acceptance.
Truth be told, I am nothing like Blaze. I am all the evil that he does not possess, and he is all the good that refuses to enlighten me.
Perchance, the Moon Goddess bonded us for a reason, for we are a perfect match, and our combined traits are unyielding.
“Speak of her in such a manner again, brother… and I will have your heart.” Blaze snarls in a tone that makes me shiver with goosebumps.
Blaze is my future Alpha and if he were to attack me, I would make no attempt to defend myself.
Not only because he is my future Alpha, but he is the closest shifter I’ve had to a brother, and our bond is something that I cherish dearly.
“Please… just let me go, and we can pretend that this,” my naive mate waves her hand back and forth between the three of us, “never happened.” Her voice is filled with disarray, trepidation, and alarm, which creates a very potent scent that can be deadly under a Blood Moon.
“Luna,” Blaze says her name like a prayer.
Luna. A perfect name for such a fitting woman, if she wasn’t a filthy witch with an evil mother.
“You have to release us and try to contain your emotions.” Blaze continues to plead with her in a gentle voice, which surprises the hell out of me.
Who knew my best mate, who is a beast on the battlefield can conjure such a soothing tone?
She slants a quizzical look toward us, “Release you? I… I-”
“You ordered that we stop coming any closer to you, and our inner wolves submitted to your demands.” I let out a fierce growl, channelling the power of my wolf to lift me from the ground.
But my efforts are in vain, as the ground beneath me seems to have a life of its own, pulling me deeper into its icy grip like a hungry beast.
The mystical hazel green shade of her irises transforms into enchanting swirls of purple and silver as she tilts her head back and gazes up at the radiant moon.
Her hair, as dark as the night sky, is adorned with shimmering silver strands that dance and twirl in the midst of a powerful gust of wind.
Her ethereal beauty is amplified under the crimson glow of the enchanted moon, and the very fabric of time seems to bend to her will as we bow in awe.
She gradually lowers her head, locking eyes with us as a mystical purple aura envelops her.
There is no denying that Luna is a mystical creature, her beauty, and power captivating me.
A yearning swells within me to bridge the gap between us and to declare her as my destined mate under the moonlight.
Visions of an enchanting melody made up from her ecstatic moans casts a spell on my senses, bewitching every rational thought in my being like a curse.
My wolf claws at my heart, trying to tear through the layers of skin on my chest just to get to her. “MATE…” I hiss possessively, turning my head to the side as I glare at Blaze, matching his sentiments.
His broad shoulders heave with emotion as he struggles to break his gaze from her enchanting presence. For ages untold, Blaze has yearned for but one true purpose in his being—to discover his destined mate.
Now that he has discovered her, I am certain that he will never release her from his grasp.
How do I know this?
Because I can feel his emotions permeating the surrounding air, being carried away by the wind as he stakes his claim on our Luna.
Luna’s eyes quickly grow wide with alarm as something behind us catches her attention. The soft snarling grows louder as footsteps approach us in a calculating manner.
“City wolves.” Blaze snarls viciously as his voice enters my head – his gaze still pinned on Luna.
“Wo…wolves,” Luna whispers in a shaky voice, pointing behind us.
Unexpectedly, the weight anchoring us lifts and I can finely suck in enough air to fill my lungs.
“Do you trust us?” Blaze says quietly, rising to his full height.
Frantically shaking her head, “No,” Luna spits out with her gaze trained on the wolves behind us.
I discreetly turn my head to the side, listening as I use my wolf senses and pick up on how many wolves and how close they are to us.
“Four wolves, grown males… About thirty feet behind us… Territorial wolves… All Omegas…” I inform Blaze through our mind link, keeping my cool as I activate my Serpent shield.
“I can sense you lying, peach,” Blaze whispers with one side of his mouth curling upward into a cynical smirk. “You can sense our emotions now that we are linked. You also know that we will lay our lives on the line to save you, and no harm will ever come to you.”
Her pink tongue darts out of her mouth as she sweeps it over the bow of her top lip, and she nods her head.
“When I say now, run to your car and drive away,” Blaze instructs as he widens his stance, preparing himself for battle.
“I’m sorry,” Luna squeaks on the verge of tears, and I snarl with a sense of rage consuming me.
“They are circling us, Blaze,” I warn him through our mind link, curling my hands into fists of fury on the ground as I remain in a crouching stance.
“NOW!” Blaze roars.
Luna pushes off the ground with her left foot, and she makes a run for it to her car, as fast as her legs will allow her.
A spine-chilling howl echoes through the misty atmosphere as four ominous wolves dart toward Blaze and me.
With a sudden burst of energy, I soar through the air, executing a perfect backflip before shifting into my wolf form.
A haunting howl escapes my lips, echoing through the night.
As I gracefully touch the ground, I sense a ghostly presence and catch a fleeting glimpse of Luna's car disappearing into the night with an otherworldly howl.
Blaze hasn’t bothered to shift into his wolf. He likes to stay in his human form and dish out a good-ass whooping before he shifts.
He also likes how fluid he can duck and weave out of the way when a wolf lunges at him in his human form.
As a supernatural being, I enjoy the art of shifting. I relish the sensation of transforming into my wolf form as if it were my true nature.
My senses become keener and my instincts sharper, allowing me to navigate the world with ease.
A mighty wolf, with fur as dark as the night sky, pounces towards me with its razor-sharp claws extended.
With lightning-fast reflexes, I dodge its attack as it narrowly misses my face.
As the wolf's paws touch the ground with a resounding thud, I shift into my true form, a fierce wolf, and pounce at him with all my might.
My razor-sharp teeth sink deep into his thick fur, piercing his neck with an angry bite.
After extracting my fangs from his neck and injecting a potent dose of venom into his veins.
I observe as the wolf whimpers and stumbles on his paws for a moment before collapsing onto the ground like a worthless sack of fur.
“Argh, fuck!” I growl into the open as I curl over and block my ears. The ear-splitting sound of the Leo twins using their genetic shields can only mean one thing. They are under attack. Shifting into my wolf form, I tilt my head back to the moon and use my alpha cry for the very first time to drown out the Leo twin's roaring-howl that is almost crippling Within seconds, my father is by my side in his wolf form with three other wolves behind him. “Who gave the orders for the Leo twins to pass the river at this hour?” He asks me through our family mind link. “The shield remains lifted. Why?”I look my father dead in the eyes, “I gave the orders for them to guard the riverside along with Roman and April. The shield has remained lifted because Luna and Saffron have not yet returned.”One side of my father’s lip curls into a furious snarl. “He will be the death of us, son. You need to appoint a new beta.”“Now is not the time, father, and we don’t know the reason for why they have no
The harsh hammering of my heart galloping in the nest of my chest drowns out my surroundings. My ears begin to burn along with my cheeks.What have we done?What have I done?It never crossed my mind that my mother would be able to feel every sensation raking through my body as Saffron devoured me like I was his main course. An exasperated sigh departs my lips as I squeeze my thighs shut and wrap my arms around my chest to hide my pebbling nipples. I’ll admit, my pussy still feels sensitive and every time I steal a glance in Saffrons’ direction, guilt with an underlay of excitement washes over me. What transpired between us at the clearing that soon led us to the waterfall will always hold a place in my heart. His dark and handsome face was flushed, misty with sweat, his enthralling eyes glazed with sinister intentions as he spoke to me like I wasn’t his enemy – the entity of all his troubles.He made me feel less of a worthless piece of shit that my mother had suddenly sprung upon
The journey home has been surprisingly quiet.She's been quiet.She hasn’t breathed a word or muttered one under her breath.And occasionally, the deafening sound of silence isn’t as peaceful as some would describe. It's the perfect opening for your mind to overthink, and, in this case, it's my wolf. He’s unsettled, almost to the point of being unhinged. Prowling in the back of my mind, his canines are on full display as he openly shows me how displeased he is that I did not mark Luna as our own. “You useless son-of-a-bitch” He snarls on repeat like a broken record. All I can do is internally roll my eyes heavenward as I continue to ignore him. I can feel Lunas’ gaze on me when she casts me an odd glance here and there. She has questions, or possibly a long line of vulgar names she wishes to hurl at me for eating her delectable pussy out until she screamed my name like it was her new favourite anthem. I know it is for me. “Oh, oh my gods… don’t stop, please… don’t stop.”I coul
Sitting on the front step of the pack house, there is a distinct chill in the air that can't go unnoticed. It's thick with the stench of death that swirls in the air, low-key, having everyone walking on eggshells around each other, and I don’t blame them. Our future is filled with uncertainty, and it’s the unknown that plagues us all with fear. People tend to fear what they don’t understand, and fear is a good friend of hate and deception.I tilt my head back and peer at the moon, perched high in the inky sky, shining gloriously. The sight truly is breathtaking, and though I have seen this view every night of my existence, it still manages to hold me captive. But for some wild reason, it feels like forever since I have allowed myself to be lost in her beauty. Especially now with everything that has been happening lately.A niggling headache pulses across my skull and down my neck as my mind is currently in a jumbled mess as it ignores my wolf instincts. My wolf is thirsty for blood.
Saffron glides the flat surface of his tongue over my feverish flesh, making sure to run the tip of it over the warm blood trickling down the column of my neck. Sucking in a shallow breath, my eyelids flutter shut as I give into the explosive sensations taking over me. I shudder with delight. My knees unexpectedly buckle beneath me, and he grasps my left leg, hooking it over his hip to keep me close and upright. Saffron grazes his protruding canines against the crook of my neck with a low and fierce growl vibrating from the nest of his chest. The sensual kiss of our bodies grinding against one another becomes more glorious the longer it continues. It’s tantalising. Erotic. It’s sinfully poetic in a sense that I can’t begin to fathom.My arousal burns hotter with every hint of contact between us. His straining erection can’t be hidden, and the rock-hard length rubs insatiably against my clit. The slightest friction has stars dancing before my very eyes. His lips trail from my ne
“Fuucck…” I mutter, feeling myself falling face-first towards the ground.Closing my eyes, I wait for impact, and as it occurs, pain splinters across my forehead, my nose, mouth, and chin. I pull myself upright, taking in my surroundings as I search for Luna. One minute, she was standing in front of me, silently begging me to kiss her and the next… It’s like she vanished into thin air. My wolf growls darkly when we hear a faint laugh coming from our right. I slowly turn my head to find Luna at least fifty meters away from us with her hand over her mouth and her shoulders rising and falling. She’s laughing; she’s laughing at us.I grind my teeth together, glaring at her through narrowed eyes, and I push off my left foot, making a run for it in her direction. If there is one thing I despise most in people, it is being laughed at. Especially when it is to embarrass me. I fight my body for control, unwilling to let my wolf come out to play because only Goddess knows what he will do
