Fynn's POV: As I drove towards the farmhouse where Vienna had last been seen, my thoughts churned with frustration. Part of me wanted to call Kai and tell him to handle this problem about his mate, on his own. After all, wasn’t this his responsibility? I hadn’t returned to this life, just to get stuck in the same old pattern and deal with the tangled mess of this mate bond. I had made a promise to myself before returning to Camden Falls: to maintain strict boundaries and stay as detached and distant as possible…to save us all the trouble. Yet here I was, just two days in, enmeshed in their matter and driving through the night to clean up a situation I had tried so hard to avoid. I shook my head sharply, forcing that thought out of my mind. No, this didn't make any sense… my mind was just coming up with creative ways to escape the guilt that was making my stomach twist, and attempting to take away the burden of responsibility from my own shoulders. I had chosen to turn a b
Fynn's POV:"Wait, are you for real? We thought she was just capable of fooling her dad! But turns out she’s even fooled you!" The man laughed after noticing the colors draining from my face. His voice felt like nails on a chalkboard, but apparently my torture wasn't over yet. The woman who had first recognized me smirked at her friend's comment. “Well, I guess she wasn’t as innocent as everyone thought!" "Yeah, especially not as angelic as the Alpha’s son seemed to think!" "The list of men she has cuckolded is growing longer day by day!!”I didn’t realize how furious I was until I felt the lava flowing through my veins and my body moved on its own, before my mind could catch up with its intentions.In the blink of an eye, I had the man pinned against the wall, my forearm pressed firmly against his neck. “Shut up!” I snarled at him, my voice more of a growl than anything human-like. “You know nothing about that girl. Nothing!” The man’s eyes widened in terror, and he clawe
Fynn's POV:It was a foolish idea. The moment that thought appeared in my mind, I was ready to shoot it down. What was the point of turning on my mate bond when Vienna might not even see me as her mate anymore? If Kai was here, it would be a different story. Because she had clearly chosen Kai, and mate bonds couldn’t work while being one-sided, could they? I scowled at myself, running a hand through my hair. The idea was ridiculous from the start. I turned back toward the woods, determined to search every inch of the forest again. But after another fifteen minutes of running in circles and finding nothing, I came to a halt. I couldn’t afford to waste more time chasing shadows. I stopped in the middle of the clearing and closed my eyes, forcing myself to find the tether that had been buried deep within my chest, and tug on it. But even when I tried to tug on the string and follow its pull, I could feel my subconscious running into a wall. A wall which I had built, brick by bri
Fynn's POV:I felt the faintest ghost of a movement in Vienna's body and immediately lowered her gently into my lap, trying to make sure that she had actually shown signs of consciousness. Cradling her, I quickly assessed where she was bleeding from. There were deep, angry stab wounds across her body that seemed like they had just started to heal some seconds ago. Her head had a gash at the side, blood trickling down from her temple and into her hair. My hands trembled as I pressed against one of the wounds, trying to stem the flow of blood.My hands shook as I pressed against the deeper wounds to stem the bleeding. Each drop of her blood felt like it was draining the life out of me, and my mind was occupied by a storm of curses. How could I have let this happen? I was solely responsible for every wound on her body, for every second which she had suffered in this agony…But before I could spiral further, I heard her voice. A faint whisper, no louder than a breeze. "Fynn… Fynn… yo
Fynn’s POV:The world has stopped spinning ever since she had been wheeled inside the operation theatre, and the only thing that kept spinning was my head… because of the unbearable pain I was going through right now.My conscience was still adamant to make me believe that the title of the greatest idiot indeed belonged to me, but the punishment I am getting for this is still too little. When I should clearly have thrown myself into the streaming lava to apologize for the blunders I have created in the past, and the ones I was going to repeat today as well.The thoughts that something worse than this had already happened to her all because of my idiocy and the delays I caused willingly, were making it hard for me to breathe. All this pressure and the weight on my chest has completely made me disconnected from the outer world– probably, this is why I had missed three calls from Kai.And I have might missed the forth one too, if the nurse wouldn't have nudged me with her words;“Ah! Ma
Author's POV:Gemini was on cloud nine, knowing that this time, her plan had finally made it to the end and that too with flying colours. Not only had she managed to turn Alpha Blackwood against her biggest rival, but had also managed to get her Dad back on her side… and the best thing in all this was that finally, Asher was going to be entirely hers.And there would be no one who'd ever dare to come near anything that belonged to her. This thought was enough to make her so happy from the core that she was humming and strolling near the balcony, even though it was already past midnight. Just then, she suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder and panic crawled down to the base of her spine.Whirling around, she quickly took a look at the person standing behind her, and a soft scream left her mouth. “Gosh! Mom! You scared me so bad–”“I am sorry my darling, I was just here to ask you something.”Tessa showed no more reaction to Gemini's shocked expressions. Hearing her words, Gemini lowe
Fynn's POV:Kai had cut my call. With that brief sentence, he had ended the conversation, and my head felt like it was splitting open because of these endless loops which my thoughts were swirling in. I had handed Kai a list of every single one of my sins, confessed everything over the phone… and he had cut me off. And the longer I spent thinking about it, the more I felt like I was losing my mind. Neither my heart, nor my brain was ready to cooperate with me. My legs were shaking and shivering like leaves caught in a storm, threatening to give out from under me… like I might collapse at any moment. I felt my pulse spiking as a shadowy figure appeared in the corridor, marching straight towards me. I blinked, trying to clear the haze from my mind, and then I saw it: someone identical to my own cursed self, yet someone who was standing on the completely opposite side of morality. He had come. Fear shot through my body, I didn't even realize how long I had spent in this comatose s
Kai's POV: The night felt like it would stretch on forever. I had spent most of the night travelling to Camden Falls, and it was already four o'clock by the time I’d reached the hospital… I could only imagine how Fynn must have managed. Fynn and I had been taking turns checking on Vienna after she came out of surgery, but every second was dragging painfully. It had been almost five hours since she had been shifted to a private room, but she hadn't woken up yet. In spite of the reassurances from the medical staff, my heart wasn't willing to settle. Fynn and I were sitting silently on the bench outside her room– both desperate for reassurance, yet too tense to voice our unspoken fears to each other. Words felt useless, so we clung to each other’s presence as the only comfort we had. After five hours of this tense, torturous stillness, Fynn finally spoke up, his voice hoarse. “I’ll get us some coffee, yeah?” He murmured and I nodded, although sleep was far from our reach.
Vienna's POV:I hummed softly to myself as I brushed Zeke’s hair into place. He made a silly face in the mirror and stuck out his tongue, wiggling his head so my careful work unraveled instantly.“Zeke,” I warned, biting back a smile.“But Mama, it tickles,” he giggled, scrambling off the stool before I could launch a second attack with the brush.He wore his new blue shirt—buttoned all the way up—and his little black sneakers that lit up when he walked. His backpack looked enormous on his small back, but he wore it with pride, like he was off to conquer the world.Today was his first full day of preschool. I should’ve been nervous, but the past week had been so peaceful it felt like the world had given us permission to just breathe. My heat had passed. The storm was behind us. Life was finally, blessedly… normal.Zeke grabbed a banana from the bowl on the counter and munched happily as we waited by the door. “Will Daddy Kai and Daddy Fynn come with us?”I didn’t have to answer.Kai a

Fynn's POV:Kai’s voice sent a fresh shiver through her. Her head turned toward him, lips parted, eyes still heavy-lidded from release.I didn’t move away. I wasn’t done watching her like this—undone and radiant and still so desperately needy.Kai rose behind her, his body a shadow of heat and muscle as he knelt on the bed. “That was a beautiful sight,” he murmured, leaning down to brush his lips over her temple. “But I think she’s still hungry.”“She is,” I confirmed, my fingers still stroking gently between her thighs. “Aren’t you, baby?”Vienna’s soft gasp was answer enough. Her hips rolled into my hand, already greedy for more.Kai reached around her, cupping one breast in his palm while the other slid beneath the sheets to join mine between her legs. His fingers found hers wet and open, and he exhaled a sound between a groan and a laugh.“So wet. So ready.” He licked at her ear, his voice a low growl. “You don’t know what you do to us, do you?”She moaned, caught between our hand
Vienna's POV:The morning light slid through the curtains in soft golden beams, brushing over tangled limbs and tousled hair. My body ached in the best possible way—used, loved, worshiped. Between Kai’s strong arms and Fynn’s warmth pressed against my back, I could’ve stayed like that forever.But the knocking at the door said otherwise.Kai stirred first, blinking at the sound. “Shit,” he murmured, voice hoarse. “That’s the Healer. I asked her to check on you, just in case.”I blinked, sitting up slowly. “You… what?”Fynn groaned, hiding his face in my shoulder. “Let her in. You need to be looked at after… all that.”I shot them both a look, cheeks flushed with leftover arousal and sleep. “I’m not that fragile.”Kai chuckled. “No, baby, but you are ours. And last night wasn’t exactly tame.”The knocking came again, followed by a soft voice. “Alpha Kai? Fynn? I brought the tonics.”Kai pulled on a pair of sweats and opened the door a crack. “She’s up. You can come in.”Healer Lys step
Vienna's POV:The cabin was quiet… thick with the scent of sex, sweat, and pine. The air was cool against my bare skin, but I was warm between them. Wrapped in the heat of Kai behind me, and Fynn’s arm draped across my waist, I’d fallen asleep with their seed still pulsing inside me, every nerve in my body wrecked and humming.I didn’t remember drifting off. I only remembered the way they had taken me—together, possessive and tender, fucking me through the peak of my heat until I couldn’t speak, couldn’t breathe, couldn’t do anything but cry their names.But now… I was awake.My body throbbed with lazy, low want. Not urgent, not desperate like before—but soft and sweet and deep. The kind of need that curled between my thighs and whispered for more. A different kind of hunger.I blinked in the dim glow of the moonlight slipping through the cabin windows. Everything looked hazy and silver, glowing around the edges. I felt their bodies pressed to mine—Kai’s chest firm against my back, hi
Kai's POV:Fynn rose from between her thighs, lips glistening, eyes black with need. His chest heaved, his shirt already clinging to his skin, and he looked at her like he might lose control if I didn’t act fast.“She’s ready,” he said roughly, voice frayed with restraint. “Fuck, she’s perfect.”Vienna reached for both of us, her hands trembling. “Please,” she whispered. “Don’t make me wait. I want to feel you both.”We didn’t need more encouragement.I lifted her easily, wrapping an arm under her thighs as Fynn stripped her dress completely off her body. Ribbons fluttered to the floor, the last delicate bindings coming undone. She was naked now, bared completely to the firelight, to us, her skin glowing, her scent rich and wild in the air.I lay her down on the bed gently, brushing her hair from her flushed face as Fynn climbed onto the mattress beside her. He kissed her first, slow and deep, and I took my time undressing behind them—pulling off my shirt, undoing my pants, my cock al
Kai's POV:The moon was a white ghost above the trees, barely visible through the gauzy veil of clouds. Inside the cabin, however, everything was saturated in heat.Her scent was everywhere.It clung to the floorboards, soaked the sheets, fogged the windows. Sweet and thick, it hit the back of my throat with every breath and made my skin feel too tight for my body. Vienna was curled in the center of the bed—naked, glowing with sweat and heat, the curve of her hip peeking from beneath a soft throw Fynn had draped over her an hour ago, when she’d finally collapsed between us in a haze of satisfied whimpers.But now she stirred. The sound was barely more than a breath, but my body answered instantly, blood roaring.Her legs shifted, a slow rub of thighs that parted just enough to catch my attention.A low sound rumbled in my chest. Not quite a growl. Not quite speech.Fynn stirred beside me, catching the same scent. She was slick again, her body coaxing us back, her need like a siren son
Fynn's POV:The day had been spent in attempts to keep ourselves occupied with hunting, but the moment I reached the cabin, all of it started to seem like it wasn't going to help her anymore. I could smell her before I even stepped out of the Jeep. Sweet, spiced, and fucking dangerous. Vienna in heat was a whole different creature. She was already inside, Kai had brought her ahead of me, carried her into the cabin like a prince carrying his bride to the bedchamber. We had brought her to this cabin for a reason. No distractions. No interruptions. Just her, her needs… and us. I closed the car door and inhaled again, my cock already hardening against my jeans. She must be soaked. Her scent was thick and heavy in the air—feral, needy, addictive. I stepped inside and locked the door behind me. The fire was already lit, casting amber shadows over the walls and warming the cabin to a gentle, comforting heat. But it wasn’t the fire that pulled me. It was her. She was curled up o
Vienna’s POV: I didn't know where one touch ended and another began. Fynn's grip on my hips was steel, grounding me with every thrust as his thick length stretched me wide and deep. My face was pressed into Kai's thigh, his fingers still around my throat—not choking, just owning, his voice like velvet heat in my ear. "You're so good for us," he murmured, dragging his thumb over my lower lip. "Taking him so well… dripping around his cock like your body knows it's supposed to happen." And God, it did. My body was alive in a way I’d never felt—need pulsing hot through my core, no shame, no thought, just raw, aching instinct. Fynn groaned behind me, his rhythm shifting, becoming rougher. One of his hands left my waist, slid up my spine, then tangled tightly into my hair. He tugged, and I gasped as my head tilted back, arching for him like a thread pulled taut. “You feel this, Kai?” he gritted out. “She’s so fucking wet… clutching me like she doesn’t want to let go.” “She doesn’t,”
