MasukChapter Four:
POV: Emma Kieran looked at my hungry and I felt the fire burning up my body. The air all around us seemed electric and I hadn't even touched him yet. My mind told me to run away but my wolf took over, she was practically foaming at the mouth to get to him, Mate, Mate please go to Mate now! But, before I could go to him Kieran came to me. Colbolt blue eyes on me, they had changed from his usual brown eyes to his wolf's. I hadn't noticed I was too busy staring at his body. I gulped as he stepped forward, I could feel the heat from his body and I yearned for him to touch me. He wasn't saying anything and that was driving me nuts. Pushing a stray hair out from under my face and cupping my face in his hand I felt the sparks travel up. Yep, this was the mate bond after all. Then he dug his fist into the back of my hair tightly and I wanted to moan with the pressure and pleasure of it but, also a small part of me was scared of it and I'm sure that shone on my face because this sick fuck started smiling. Leaning in and smelling me he dropped his voice low and seductively. He knew what he was doing to me. "You are the most frustrating person I have ever met- I'm going to mark you and make you obey me. That little stunt you pulled with the rock almost got us both killed." “If you can't obey then I'll have to chain you up and do whatever I want.” That sentence stung like a thousand knives. I was no one's whore. A low growl emitted from my chest. "You don't control me!" I wanted to shout but it came out as a whisper instead. “Try it and you’ll find yourself right with you precious dead mate you just lost.” He took a deep breath like he was steading himself for a battle. Yeah that was low. "Really? If, you wanted to leave why didn't you keep on running to the road? You came back?" His eyes are wide and smiling wickedly at me. "I only came back because that fucking other psycho stopped me." Kieran snorted and tightened his grip on the back of my head which really made me moan this time out loud. His eyes widened as he stepped even closer. If he got just an inch or two more I could feel his dick that looked like it could do things to you. I had caught an amazing eye full. It was pierced. That knowledge alone did things to my insides it shouldn't be doing. “If, you ever mention my dead mate again I'll strangle and fuck you to death. Even Cast won't be able to save you from me.” I wanted to slap him. But, just as I was about to hit him for the second time again we turned to the sound of a chipper voice coming behind us. “What's that about Cast? Aw. Are you two love birds of mine finally getting along?” Cast had found some jeans that hung low on him and his body was lean, he was less than Kieran but, his chest had one big moon phases tattoo just like Kieran. Just like Kieran he looked like a fucking god expect Cast had green eyes and light hair a striking difference to the dark storm of Kieran. Cast sauntered over to Kieran and licked his lips. “It's been a while since I've seen you so excited Kieran. I can smell your pre cum waiting for my tongue right now. Kieran she made a mistake, let her go and I'll make it worth your wild.” I looked at both of my mates like I was watching a tennis match each other waiting for the other to make a move. Kieran smiled back at me dangerously. Fuck. “Only if she stays and watches.” Cast looks over towards me and moves behind me. His arms hugged me close. I can't hear anything in these woods anymore but my rapid heart beat as my two mates are so close yet so far from me. “Can you be a good girl and do what you're told? I'll have him let go of you. But, I want you to watch us. Or I'll let Kieran punish you and you don't want to be punished do you?” Cast winked at me and I didn't know what to say. Kieran spoke first “ I don't think she wants to be a good girl. That's fine. I think she deserved to get a nice slap.” Fury filled my eyes - but my wolf perked. He wants us. Just play the game. Play the game. You're in charge. Trust me. So I listened. I looked at Kieran who had loosened his grip on the back of my head. I smiled probably the fakest smile I've ever done. “Okay, boys. I'll be your good girl.” I said it with a wink to Cast. “Now Cast get on your knees and suck your betas dick.” I turned to Kieran and grabbed his throbbing dick as hard as I could and began stroking. He gasped at the contact and I thought I saw his eyes roll back as he hissed and leaned his head back. It isn't me who will be punished. It will always be you. Cast sank to his knees laughing slightly. Whatever I did, In this life to get this. I'm so glad I did it.Chapter ThirteenEmma POVThe heavy fur blanket pooled around my waist as I shifted onto my knees, my skin tingling under the dual weight of their gazes. The morning sun was just starting to crest the high arched windows, casting long, amber-hued slants of light across the vast mahogany bed.As I reached out, my fingertips brushed Cast’s tense, bare shoulder while my other hand rested over Kieran’s heart. There were no lofty labels for what was happening here. This wasn't some soft, pristine fairytale—this was raw, undeniable, bone-deep heat, sparked by two weeks of buried friction and the sudden, overwhelming current of the bond pulling us into the same orbit.Kieran’s breath hitched as his eyes slowly dragged up the length of my body. The dark, frantic haunts of his past were completely gone, replaced by a dark, heavy hunger that made his hazel eyes burn like hot gold."Goddess, Emma," Kieran rasped, his voice dropping an octa
Chapter TwelveThe fireplace in the Alpha suite had burned down to a mound of glowing crimson embers by the time the muted, gray light of dawn filtered through the tall, arched velvet-draped windows. The air inside the sprawling room was warm and thick, smelling of sweet pine smoke, aged cedarwood, and the heavy, intoxicating musk of three distinct mate bonds intertwining in the quiet room.I woke up slowly, my consciousness floating out of the deepest, most restful sleep I had known in months.I didn't move a muscle. Honestly, I couldn't if I wanted to.Kieran was still anchored firmly between Cast and me, his heavy head resting in the soft hollow of my shoulder, his breathing deep, rhythmic, and entirely free of the desperate, wheezing panic that had choked him down in the freezing courtyard hours ago. One of his large, calloused hands was hooked securely around my hip beneath the heavy fur blanket, while his broad back was pressed flush against Cast’s solid, warm chest. Cast’s long
Chapter Eleven Emma POV Cast stepped fully out of the shadows, the low torchlight catching the sharp line of his jaw and the cold, calculating glitter in his dark eyes. He didn't look angry; he looked satisfied, like a grandmaster who had just watched his opponent walk straight into a trap. "A murder pact," Cast murmured, taking a deliberate step toward us. "A stolen relic. And a vengeance contract signed in blood right under my nose. You two really know how to make a late-night perimeter check entertaining." Kieran didn't lower his blade. His posture remained rigid, his breathing ragged as the raw, suffocating weight of his confession hung in the freezing night air. "Stay out of this, Cast." "I would love to, Beta," Cast replied, stopping just inches away from us. The Alpha aura radiating off him was heavy, smooth, and utterly suffocating. "Except you're standing on my border, brandishing steel at the female who holds the key to our
Chapter Ten Emma POV The courtyard was draped in a suffocating layer of damp night mist that turned the towering stone walls of the fortress into jagged black silhouettes. Cold air stung my lungs as I hurried down the outer steps, tracking Kieran’s fast-moving shape across the courtyard toward the northern gate. He moved like a phantom—blade drawn, posture low and lethal, tracing the scent of scorched pine through the shadows. But as we reached the edge of the woods where the courtyard gave way to the dense, ancient forest, the wind died down. The heavy humidity of the approaching rain smothered the air, wiping away the faint trail entirely. Kieran stopped dead in his tracks at the tree line. His chest heaved with ragged breaths, his dark eyes wide as he scanned the empty shadows between the ironwood trees. He took a frantic step forward, sweeping his blade t
Emma POVThe rest of the meal passed in a tense, suffocating silence that no one dared to break. By the time Cast dismissed the table, my ribs felt tight from holding back every sarcastic comment I possessed. But as we stepped back out into the quiet stone corridor, I didn't head for my quarters. I blocked Kieran’s path before he could turn the corner.He stopped short, his heavy boots coming down with a dull thud against the polished flagstones. For a second, the amber edge of his wolf flickered in his eyes—sharp, predatory, and entirely unamused."Out of the way, Pet," he growled, his voice a low, gravelly raspy vibration in the cool air."Make me," I said, holding my ground. The emerald silk of my dress rustled as I shifted my weight, closing the remaining distance between us until the heat off his skin washed over me. "What was that back there?"Kieran crossed his arms, the fabric of his dark suit jacket straining across his broad shoulders. "It was dinner. You ate, the Elders gla
Emma POV: I adjusted the emerald silk of the gown Cast’s attendants had dropped off, the rich fabric draping heavily against my skin. The color was meant to make me look like royalty, but standing outside the double doors of the grand dining hall, I felt more like a sacrifice decked out for the altar. Kieran leaned against the stone wall opposite me, looking criminally handsome in a dark, tailored suit that failed to hide the broad, dangerous line of his shoulders. His dark eyes tracked every shift of my dress with an open, icy hostility. Cast stood a few paces back, hands casually tucked into his trousers, watching the two of us like an observer testing two volatile chemicals in a flask. "If you're trying to bore me to death before we go in, it's working," Kieran drawled, his voice a low, gravelly rasp. "Are we going to stand in the corridor all night, or are you waiting for permission to breathe?" "I was just giving you a moment to practice your pleasant expression," I fired
Emma POV: The forest has gone completely silent as far as I'm concerned because the only things I can hear are the crunching of leaves as Cast goes down on his knees in front of me while Kieran looks me dead ass in the eyes. A small part of me doesn't believe this is going to happen. But, I lo
Chapter Three Emma POV: I’m running and my lungs are burning up. I swear I used to be in good shape. The asphalt is cold and wet under my bare feet and my ass and tits are giggling in the air as I run full force towards the road. I could hear cars driving on it when I was hiding in the woods with
Kieran POV:Chapter Two Kieran POV: I look at Cast. He looks at me and shrugs. “Better go after her good Beta.” I narrowed my eyes on him. This is not a game I’m willing to play. I’m not a chess piece on a board. “What the fuck will you be doing then?” He looks at me unimpressed. “I’ll be moving
Kieran PovRain hammered against my skin, cold and relentless, but nothing could drown the fire burning downriver. The pyre drifted away through the storm, taking my heart, my destiny, and my mate with it. I couldn’t look anymore. Wolves who lose their mates usually lose their minds soon after. Th
