MasukAlina's POV
My fingers fumbled with the laces of my dress. The dress loosened and slid down my shoulders. The cool air touched my skin and made my nipples point. I pushed the fabric that held my breasts, feeling them bounce free as I did. The twins didn't move or say anything, just stared. Heat flooded my face, but I kept going. The dress pooled at my feet, leaving me in just my thin undergarments. I hooked my thumbs into the waistband and pulled them down, stepping out naked. My vagina felt naked, a very well-groomed patch of hair above it. I crossed my arms over my chest to hide, but I could feel their eyes burning into me. Kael stood first, taller than I am, throwing a shadow. He was already shirtless, a broad, muscular chest. Kaden followed, just like Kael. They walked toward me slowly, almost like predators. I felt my heart pounding. 'Please, don't.' I whispered, but they just ignored it. Kael grabbed me by the wrist, gentle but firm, pulling my arm straight away. Kaden took the other. Without saying anything, they pulled me to the bed. I stumbled a little as my bare feet sunk against the soft rug. They pushed me down onto the mattress, the sheets cool against my back. With languid eyes, I lay gazing up at them looming over me. Breaths came fast with fear. Kael climbed onto the bed on my left, Kaden on right. The initial point of contact was with hands running over my skin, starting from my shoulders. His fingers descended, slow and deliberate, along my arm. So, Kaden tried the same on the other side, and shivers went up my spine with uncertainty whether from cold or their touch. 'You're ours now,' Kael growled. I wanted to run, but their bodies pinned me in place. Kael's hand moved to my breast, cupping it. His thumb brushed over my nipple, making it tighten more. A small gasp escaped me. He squeezed lightly, rolling the nipple between his fingers. On the other side, Kaden mirrored him, his touch identical. Pleasure sparked, unwanted, mixing with the fear. My body betrayed me, warmth creeping low inside my belly, however. They leaned down, mouths finding my neck. Kael kissed the spot just beneath my ear with his firm lips. Kaden sucked lightly on the other side. I arched a bit, hating how good it felt. 'Stop,' I murmured, but my voice lacked strength. Kael's mouth kept on moving down, sliding to my stomach then my thigh as he gradually started easing my legs apart. I complied at first, Kaden holding my hip still in place. Kael's fingers reached my pussy, grazing the outside lips. Damn, I was already so wet. He parted me, finding my clit with his thumb, rubbing in slow circles. Pleasure shot through me, making my hips buck. Kaden's hand joined, his fingers teasing my entrance. He pushed one inside slowly and deeply. I moaned, the sound startling me. The remaining fear lurked, but this heat building inside pushed it back. 'Tight,' Kaden muttered, his voice rough. He added another finger, stretching me. Kael kept circling my clit, his eyes locked on mine, cold but intense. I gripped the sheets, my body trembling. Their mouths moved lower, Kael sucking on my nipple now, his teeth grazing it. Kaden licked the other, his tongue flat and wet. Sensations overwhelmed me-fingers fucking me, mouths on my breasts, thumbs on my clit. My fear faded more with each thrust of Kaden's hand. Pleasure took over, making me wetter. I panted, 'Oh god,' as Kaden curled his fingers inside, hitting a spot that made stars burst behind my eyes. Kael kissed me though, crashing his lips onto mine, pushing his tongue in and claiming my mouth. I kissed back, now desperate. Kaden pulled his fingers out, and I whimpered at the loss. But then they proceeded by both stripping off their pants. Their cocks sprang free, hard and thick. Kael's was a bit longer, veined, the head already leaking. Kaden's matched, curving slightly. They were big, and fear flickered back-how would I take both? But my pussy clenched, wanting it. Kael had positioned himself between my legs and rubbed his cock against my slit. 'Ready?' he asked, voice still cold. I nodded, dreading too much to say anything. He pushed in slow, inch by inch. I felt him stretching out every millimeter of himself inside me. He filled me completely, bottoming out. I cried out, pleasure mixed with a burn. Kaden knelt near my head, his cock so close to my face. 'Suck,' he said bluntly. I turned my head, opening my mouth. He slid in, salty taste hitting my tongue. I wrapped my lips around him, sucking while he started to thrust shallowly. Kael then started moving, pulling out and slamming himself back inside. With every slam, rhythm built, his hips hitting mine. I moaned around Kaden's cock, the vibrations making him groan low. They worked me up like that, Kael fucking my pussy deep and steady, Kaden fucking my mouth. Hands everywhere—Kael gripping my hips, Kaden in my hair. The pleasure was coiling tight in me. My fear was gone now and feeling just need. I sucked even harder on Kaden, hollowing my cheeks. Kael's thrusts sped up, his cock hitting deep each time. 'Good girl,' Kael grunted. Then I came, hard, each spasm of my pussy holding onto him. Waves crashed over me, body shaking. Kaden took me out of the air for a second before carrying me off, heads up and domed, his dick in my ass while Kaden's was in my pussy. The double penetration stretched my pussy and my asshole so much to the point it hurt, but the pain was secondary feeling hot cum filling my ass and my pussy, with both brothers biting their teeth, deep into my neck classifying me as their mate! I was marked!The bells rang without hands touching them.That was how I knew it had begun.Not the ceremonial bells. Not the ones for gatherings or grief. These rang from underneath the city, a deep iron toll that vibrated through bone and stone alike, slow and deliberate, each note spaced just far enough apart to make your nerves stretch thin waiting for the next.Kaden’s head snapped up first. Kael followed a heartbeat later.“That’s not an alarm,” Kael said quietly.“No,” I replied. “It’s a summons.”The hum inside me tightened like a muscle preparing to tear.The garden outside the window went still. Birds froze midflight, wings locked. The water in the central fountain shuddered, ripples collapsing inward until the surface went flat and wrong.“Alina,” Kaden said, already moving, testing the warded door again. “Whatever they’re calling, it’s close.”Too close.The bells rang again.This time, something answered.Not a sound.A pressure.It pressed up from beneath the city, old and methodical,
They didn’t arrest me.That was the first mistake.They formed a corridor instead. Guards lining the shattered square with weapons held just low enough to pretend restraint, eyes flicking everywhere except at me. The council stood clustered near the ruins of the circle, robes singed, dignity cracked, faces set into something brittle and rehearsed.Stability, they would call this later.Order restored.I could practically hear the words being polished already.“Walk,” the council leader said.Not shouted. Not commanded.Assumed.I took one step forward and felt the city tense like a held breath. The hum inside me rolled low and warning, not flaring, not exploding, just… present. A reminder. I wasn’t caged. Not yet.Kaden stayed close on my right. Kael on my left. No one tried to separate us. No one wanted to be the one who tested that boundary first.We moved.The streets of the capital looked wrong from the inside.Too clean in places. Too broken in others. Windows blown out in a neat
The explosion didn’t sound like destruction.It sounded like relief snapping.A deep, concussive release that tore through the capital and punched the breath straight out of my lungs. Light collapsed inward, the circle imploding instead of bursting, power folding violently back on itself like it had been waiting for permission to stop pretending it was stable.I hit the ground hard.Stone slammed into my back. My head rang. For a second, I couldn’t tell where I was or if I still had a body at all. The world narrowed to heat and ringing and the sharp taste of blood in my mouth.Hands were on me instantly.“Alina!”Kaden’s voice cut through the chaos, panicked and furious and too close to breaking for comfort. Kael was there too, I felt him more than saw him, a solid weight shielding my side as debris skittered across the ground.“I’m here,” I rasped, though my body hadn’t fully agreed with that yet.The hum inside me was chaos.Not gone. Not quiet. Just… scrambled. Like someone had tak
The scream wasn’t human.It tore through the forest like something had been ripped open and forgotten how to close. The sound carried wrong, bending around trees, vibrating through the soles of my feet before my ears caught up. My breath stuttered. The hum inside my chest flared sharp and ugly, like it had just been insulted.I stopped dead.Kaden crashed to a halt beside me, one hand already half raised like he could physically block whatever was coming next. Kael pivoted, scanning the trees, posture snapping tight and predatory.“That came from the capital,” Kael said.“No,” I whispered. “It came from underneath it.”The ground shuddered again, subtle but unmistakable. Not an earthquake. A response.My stomach dropped.“They started without me,” I said.Kaden’s eyes darkened. “Started what.”I swallowed. The words tasted like iron. “A binding.”Silence fell heavy around us. Even the forest seemed to recoil, leaves shivering faintly as if they wanted distance from what was happening
The first thing I broke was a glass.Not on purpose.It slipped from my fingers while I was standing there pretending my hands were steady, pretending my chest wasn’t tight, pretending I wasn’t thinking about how easy it would be for everything to go wrong if I blinked at the wrong moment. The glass shattered on the stone floor, sharp and loud and final, and the sound echoed through the room like it wanted witnesses.No one spoke.I stared down at the mess. Water creeping between the cracks. Tiny shards catching the light. A stupid, small accident that felt bigger than it was.“Leave it,” Kaden said quietly.“I wasn’t going to clean it,” I replied, a little too fast.Kael shifted near the doorway, arms crossed, watching me like I might fracture next. “You are spiraling.”I looked up sharply. “I am thinking.”“That is usually what it looks like right before you do something reckless,” he said.I almost smiled. Almost.Instead, I crouched slowly and began pushing the shards together wit
The knock was soft, careful, and somehow worse for it.I was awake before it landed, staring at the low ceiling of the room they had given me, counting the cracks in the stone like they might rearrange themselves into answers if I looked long enough. The air felt tight. Not dangerous. Just watched. The kind of silence that presses too close to your ears.When the knock came, my heart jumped anyway.Not fear exactly. Anticipation with teeth.“Come in,” I said, my voice rougher than I meant it to be.The door opened slowly.Kael stepped inside first. He did not smile. That alone told me enough to sit up straighter, to push my feet against the cold floor and ground myself in something solid.Kaden followed him, quieter, eyes already on me like he was checking for fractures that might not show on the surface.“They are closer than we thought,” Kael said without preamble.I nodded once. “The council.”“And others,” Kaden added.I rubbed my palms against my thighs, trying to chase off the r
