Waking up to someone breathing down my neck wasn’t what I expected but I wasn’t the least surprised.
“Little wolf.” It was Draven the first born lycan brother. And also my Mate as I have come to realize almost shockingly. Me two weeks ago would NEVER had dreamed of such, but atlas here I was. “Tell me how you came in contact with my brother. Did he take you prisoner from your pack?.” I tried to sit up, my head bursting into a spitting headache as I groaned. His presence was maddening and his scent was causing a pool of heat between my legs. His eyes snapped up to mine, as if scenting my arousal. I cleared my throat and pressed my thighs together, willing myself to ignore The throbbing sensation at my core. “He didn’t take me prisoner.” His eyebrows shot up to his forehead, an indication for me to continue. “He found me……well basically his warriors did. I was half dead lying in a ditch when the found me and brought me to him.” “And what were you doing all alone in the forest?” His voice holding a tone of disbelief. “I was—“ The door barged open cutting me off. “What the fuck are you doing close to her Draven?!” Darius thundered, stalking towards us like a bloodthirsty animal. “Calm yourself brother. I won’t harm her and you know that.” “I don’t trust you enough to be alone with her.” He growled, stopping at the foot of the bed. “She is very well my mate as she is yours, so drop the act.” Draven said sternly like he was reprimanding a young pup. “Do I get to have a say in this?” I asked quietly after a few bits of silence between three of us. “I’m afraid not.” “Of course you do.” They said at the same time. I stare between both brothers, there is definitely a bad deep history for them to not like themselves this much. “I need to use the washroom.” I whispered more to myself than to either of them, as I slide off the bed, dreading almost immediately as I realized that I was in transparent white laced nightgown. I could feel the heat on my face, as they held my gaze. I hear Darius mutter a curse to the moon goddess while Draven, came around the side of the bed where I stood and draped his big fur coat over my shoulders. “The maids must have mistaken you for someone else, I’ll have them find something proper for you to wear.” He said I muttered a thank as I stride towards the brownish curtain that held the washbasin where I was so eager to drop myself into and let the cold water wash over the heat of my body. Who had the maids mistaken me for? Was there someone else warming up their beds? I couldn’t help but feel a sudden pang of jealousy thug at my heart. Couldn’t they have waited for me to arrive first just as I haven’t let any man touch me, even though I was willing to give myself to Caius. The thought brought to you an absolute stop. Did I actually like being mated to three lycans? Will I be able to take all three of their marks and still survive? Would I want any of them to reject me. Their faces wash over my thoughts, each a striking beauty drawing me closer to things I never thought I’d need. All my life I’ve only ever wanted to run or get married to Caius but now. Now I feel the earth suddenly slipping from beneath my feet. Daemon’s face came into view. His mocking tone yet charming smile. “A wolf should never be mated to a lycan.” His words fill me with dread. He wasn’t wrong, I could die if either of them decides to mark me. And it’s even worse that i have little to no wolf inside me. I don’t even know my wolf’s name, every pup knows the names of their wolf at the age of five but I didn’t hear the voice of mine until I was fifteen so knowing her names seems impossible. I sigh, dropping my hands to my stomach as the heat began cursing through my body again making me shiver. I trailed but hand to my center and touched myself. I gasped as my finger came in contact with my center. The feeling was………… absolutely wonderful. I’ve heard tales of mating through the maids back at the packhouse. How deep and dark it goes, I’ve read books about it and seen pictures but I’ve never really experienced it. Now the images of my mates drifts through my mind and I swear I could feel their touch just as much on my skin. My fingers began moving of their own accord, my nipples harden, couldn’t tell if it was from pleasure or the effects of the water but either way I was in heaven right now. I throw my head back over the basin, eyes closed a small but strained sound escaping my throat as my toes curls in blinding pressure. I could feel myself drift away. I was almost there. Just a little bit more. “You know, if you needed help all you could do was ask.” A dark voice washes over me. I shrieked,eyes wide and startled as I took in the form of Daemon in front of me. “What are you do……doing here?” I stuttered, painfully aware of my naked body in view of the now disappearing bubbles in the water. His eyes had darkened to an unreasonable shade of blue. I never knew wolf’s eyes could turn blue. Well technically he’s not a wolf so I guess it’s normal. He crouches down, dipping a finger into the washbasin. “Have you ever been with a man?” His voice washed like ice on my skin yet, my body desperately leaned towards it. I shook my head, somehow managing to keep his eye contact. He eyed me like he doubted. “Have you ever touched yourself outside of this moment.” I shook my head again. He hummed in approval, his hands drifting to My face. His finger reach’s out and swipe over my bottom lip. I instinctively licked it, my tongue slightly grazing his finger tips. His eyes flashed a dark green before almost immediately settling back to blue. I think my head was playing color games with me. “It’s such a wonder that the goddess decided to mate the three most powerful creatures on earth to someone as weak as you.” I rolled my eyes at him, and scoffed “don’t you think I know that already.” He’s faced morphed into interest. “You have a sharp tongue on you, but there are other things I’d like them to do other than make words.” I drew in a sharp breath, feeling the arousal again at my center. “I don’t think you should be in here.” My voice comes out as a breathy whisper “I will damn well be anywhere my mate is.” We entered a staring contest, willing each other to break first but unfortunately neither of us is willing. After the longest moment of my life, I finally break it first. “I just want a time alone to settle my thoughts.” I almost begged. He could see my naked body now, not even the water could hid it anymore. His lips locked in a firm line as if he was almost at the edge of snapping “Get dressed and be down for breakfast.” He turned and left not waiting for my response. I finally exhaled the breath I didn’t know I was holding, slumping down into the water. I may have escaped the claws of Liana. But this— This wasn’t something I am sure I could survive, not with the constant need I have developed between my legs since meeting three of them.“So,” Colin began after a few minutes of silence, his voice low and easy, almost teasing, “where are you from? And how exactly did you land yourself in between the Lycan brothers?”I blinked at him, caught off guard. “Between them?”He chuckled, kicking a loose pebble along the path. “Oh, don’t look so surprised. You’d have to be blind not to notice it. Every time you walk into a room, one of them is already watching. Draven goes all stiff like he’s holding back a war, Daemon smirks like he’s already won, and Darius—” Colin paused, smiling faintly. “He just looks at you like you’re something he’s still trying to figure out.”My chest tightened at his words, though I managed to keep my voice light. “You’ve been watching me.”He shrugged. “Well Technically I have eyes.”We walked on, the crunch of leaves beneath our feet filling the silence. The night air had turned colder, brushing against my bare arms. To distract myself, I reached into the pocket of my cloak and pulled out an apple I
It was well past midnight when I finally moved. The mansion had gone still no footsteps, no voices, not even the sound of doors creaking. Just the low hum of the wind pushing against the windows. I’d been lying awake for hours, staring at the ceiling, replaying every sound, every look, every touch from earlier. Daemon’s hands. Darius’s fist. My own voice, breaking with need and shame. I wanted to crawl out of my own skin. The moonlight cut through the window, thin and cold, spilling over the room. I sat up, my throat dry, heart pounding. This place had become a trap one I had willingly walked into without realizing. I couldn’t stay here, not another day. I moved quietly, pulling on my cloak and boots. Every sound felt too loud the soft scrape of fabric, the wooden floor groaning beneath my feet. I reached for the small satchel near the chair and stuffed in whatever I could find: a half loaf of bread, a small knife, a water flask. My fingers trembled as I tied the strap. The ha
The sound of splintering wood filled the air before I even turned.Darius’s snarl ripped through the room, low and feral.“What the hell do you think you’re doing?”Daemon straightened, his chest heaving, eyes still wild with heat.The crash came before I could even process what was happening books shattering against the wall, the table jerking under me.“What the hell do you think you’re doing?”Darius’s voice thundered across the room, rough and dangerous. My entire body froze.Daemon stiffened, his hand still gripping the edge of the table. For a heartbeat, no one moved. Then, slow as a storm gathering force, he straightened and turned toward his brother.“Get. Out.” His words were gravel, low and animalistic.Darius took a step forward, his eyes glowing that lethal golden hue. “You’ve lost your damned mind, Daemon.”Rain. My name hovered on both their tongues but neither dared to say it. I tugged my gown up, my fingers trembling, the air so thick it burned my lungs.“She’s mine to
I didn’t see Draven for the rest of the morning. Not that I was looking for him, at least, that’s what I kept telling myself as I paced around my room, still hearing his words echo in my head. Before I forget why I’m supposed to stay away from you. The nerve of him. Acting like I was the problem, like I was some temptation he had to fight off instead of a person with thoughts and choices of her own. My pulse still stung with the memory of it, his nearness, his restraint, the crack in his voice that didn’t sound like the Draven everyone feared. By the time I stepped out into the hall, the house had gone quiet. Most of the warriors were probably out training; the women were busy with their endless routines. I just needed air, space to think without walls pressing in. I turned down a corridor I hadn’t explored before, passing a row of tall windows draped in sheer linen. The sunlight bled softly through, turning the dust in the air into tiny motes of gold. It was almost peaceful, unti
Breakfast the next morning was quieter than usual, though the air still hummed with whispers from last night’s festivities. My body still ached faintly from the sparring, and I could barely tell if it was exhaustion or the constant weight of being watched that made my shoulders tense.Maris sat beside me, pouring tea into our cups, while the other she-wolves exchanged murmured gossip down the table. I was halfway through my bread when Selene’s voice broke through the chatter, sharp and sweet as venom.“Some of us seem to think they can win a Luna’s favor overnight,” she said, smiling faintly as her gaze flicked toward me. “A little dance, a little attention, and suddenly they think they belong at the top of the table.”A few of her friends laughed softly.I kept my eyes on my plate, pretending not to hear her. I’d learned by now that reacting only made things worse.Maris shot her a warning look. “You should be careful, Selene. The walls here have ears.”Selene’s smirk didn’t falter.
The words cracked across the field like a whip.Colin froze, his hand instantly falling away. My head snapped toward the sound, Darius. His tone was calm, but the look in his eyes made the air around us turn colder.Colin stepped back at once, his voice low. “Alpha….I was just—”“If you want to keep your fucking fingers Colin, let her fucking go,” Darius repeated, sharper this time.Silence stretched. No one dared to move. Even Draven’s expression had gone still, unreadable.I frowned, brushing dust from my hands. “What the hell is your problem?”Darius turned that glare on me, dark and blistering. “My problem,” he said slowly, “is that I told you to see the healer, not prance around here playing soldier while men put their hands on you.”The words stung, sharper than they should’ve. My pulse spiked, a mix of embarrassment and anger flooding through me.“I wasn’t prancing,” I shot back. “And no one was putting their hands on me. It’s called training, in case you’ve forgotten.”“Traini
