~Octavius~This can't be the man who cared for me for over half of my life. He has never given me a reason not to trust him, but now has shown the utmost disrespect. I'll be sure to get the answers I need before I snap his neck. Niko opens the cell for me as I put on gloves."You're making a mistake! You should have rejected her!" Doctor Green is sweating profusely."Why the hell would we reject our mate? The Fates made her for us for a reason." It seems I won't have to beat the information out of him."The prophecy! She said I must kill her!" I don't even recognize him. His eyes are cold, and his body is fidgeting."Who said it? What is the prophecy?" It has to be a witch. I wish he would get to the fucking point."It's a Tribrid. She's here to ensure Hazel dies. If I do not execute it, she will kill me!" I feel my heart sink into my stomach. How did a Tribrid get into my territory? A Tribrid is the last being I would want to deal with, but I will do anything to protect our people an
~Hazel~Being paralyzed for a week was traumatizing. It's been three days since I gained control over my body, but learning how to walk again was not easy. I still feel unsteady on my feet sometimes. I would have fallen down a flight of stairs last night if Tae wasn't there to catch me.Tae and Val's parents are staying with us until the Tribrid, Eden, is found. I guess King Coolidge was unaware of the prophecy or her plan to invade our territory, but he is not willing to interfere with it. He told Tae to do what he must to protect his people, but he could not put his queen and the other two Tribrids at risk. He also mentioned how weird Eden has been acting for the last few weeks. She barely left her house and refused to eat meals with them as they usually did. If she knew about the prophecy that early, I can only imagine how much she prepared for this.More than anything, I'm terrified. I wonder how many people Eden has convinced to kill me. I don't know what spells or potions she is
~Hazel~Even as a Lycan, Tae takes his time. For obvious reasons, I assumed a quick 'doggy style' was the go-to position when they make love in their animalistic form. What I didn't expect was Tae licking the holy hell out of my hoo-ha. This is a contradicting feeling for me. It's a cross between weird as fuck and gooder than a goddamn. I don't even care if gooder isn't a word. It should be! It might be nasty, but I won't deny the pleasure that rolls through my body. For shame, for shame.Val is right beside my head, touching herself. The sexual aroma is driving me wild. Her smell was enticing before I became a Lycan, but now? My mouth is watering for a taste of her. My senses heightened beyond anything I imagined.I need to taste you, Val. Your scent is making me crazy. A small whimper escapes me. I can tell Val prefers staying in her human body the majority of the time. I think I'll be more comfortable in that form as well.She stops touching herself and straddles my head, facing Ta
~Valentina~ "It's okay, Hazie. It was only a bad dream." Hazel woke up gasping for air, sweating profusely. It scared the shit out of Tae and me."No, Val. It was real. I swear it was so real." She's shaking with fear in Tae's arms. "Can you tell us what it was?" Tae soothes her by running his fingers through her silky hair. Hazel tells us what her dream consists of, and my heart sinks to my stomach. There was too much detail for it to be only a dream. Hazel was able to recall the smell in the forest, the chill of the wind, and the taste of iron in her mouth as someone tried to kill her. It was a message from the Tribrid herself."She's just messing with your mind. She wants you to believe you are a threat, so that you will be more willing to give yourself up. Nothing you do will cause the deaths of so many people, Hazel. You're a good person." I try my best to ease her mind, but I'm lying to her. A Tribrid cannot project a false vision, and Tae knows it too. I can tell by his expres
~Valentina~Hazie was able to relax after I told her Ryan was safe. He's Queen Emilia and King Cassius's personal servant, so I know he gets treated with respect. His blood is not used to feed, but apparently, their daughter, Catherine, likes to play with him. That means Catherine uses him to satisfy her sexual needs and sends him away, but Emilia said Ryan doesn't mind. Catherine is a stunning young female, so it's no surprise that he is willing to oblige. Hazie laughed when I told her about Ryan being a sex toy for the king and queen's daughter."At least he isn't being tortured, and he seems happy in that territory. Anything is better than Mortal Grounds." She was never a fan of her home territory, but now that she is educated on how they function, she hates it. The leaders she once respected are now at the top of her shit list.Today, Hazie starts her training. If the vision she experienced is coming soon, we need to ensure we prepare her for it. The problem she mainly needs to wo
~Octavius~If these women don't knock it off, I'm going to lose my fucking mind. Here I am, just trying to be a dad, when all of a sudden, I feel that tingling sensation starting in the pit of my stomach.I knew that was just the beginning. Now I'm sweating like a she-wolf in heat in the middle of July."Daddy, you look funny." Lucas and I are sitting on the floor, playing with blocks while my dad sits on the couch. I guess I should say Lucas is playing with blocks. He's doing a fantastic job making tall towers while I am half-tempted to jump through the window, butt ass naked. I'm usually pretty good at making things up from the top of my head, but I have no idea what to say to him."Do you need to go poo poo, Daddy? It's not good to hold it, remember?" Lucas whispers so the staff doesn't hear my personal business. My son is too smart for his own good."You're right, buddy. I should go to the potty. I'll be right back." I get up from the floor and tell my dad to keep an eye on him wh
~Octavius~After five hours of hard labor, Carlie delivered a beautiful baby girl. Her name is Demi Camryn Storm. She is so tiny, much smaller than Lucas was when he was born. Unfortunately, my dad won the bet. Ash passed out once Carlie started to push. I heard her call him a worthless cow from down the hallway. He will never live this down. Thankfully, Hazel splashed water in his face and woke him up in time for Demi to be born so he could tend to Carlie the way she needed him to. Now, we're giving Carlie and Demi time to sleep after the long night they've had. Ash is unable to sleep, so he has Demi swaddled in his arms. Val and Hazel went to bed about fifteen minutes ago. I can tell they went straight to sleep, for which I am grateful."Are you sure you don't want to get some sleep while Demi is sleeping?" He remembers how Val and I barely rested after Lucas was born, so I'm surprised he isn't taking advantage of the opportunity."I can't. I would have to put my baby down. Anything
~Valentina~Tae walked into the bedroom without her by his side. I felt his heartbreak before he returned, but I tried to remain optimistic. Our parents, Carlie and Ash gave me words of encouragement, but now their faces show fear."Where is Hazie?" My voice has never sounded so small. Tae pulls me into his chest while struggling to keep his tears at bay."I had to let her go, Val. She was going to reject us." The pain in our chests is almost too much to bear. Eden will shred Hazie before she even gets the chance to blink. What the fuck is she thinking?"Do you seriously think she would reject us?" I know we are still new, but how could she reject the love we have with her? How could she even fix her mouth to threaten such a thing? We could have worked through this together; fought Eden together. There is no hope for her now."Yes, she would have. She said she figured it out, and the only way to change the outcome of the prophecy was to turn herself in. She also shifted pretty quickly
