LOGIN• JASON •I couldn’t stop staring at him.That wasn’t new, exactly. I’d been watching Caleb since the moment he arrived in this kingdom, watching him navigate life with more grace than anyone should have been able to manage, watching him laugh when he should have been breaking, watching him reach for Nelson and me in the dark like we were something solid worth holding onto. Watching him had become as natural as breathing somewhere along the way, so automatic I barely noticed I was doing it anymore.But this was different.This was watching him sleep with my mark on his neck.He was curled slightly toward the center of the bed, one hand loose near his face, his breathing slow and even and completely unguarded in the way people only managed when they felt genuinely safe. The marks mine on the left side of his neck, Nelson’s on the right were still faintly visible even in the low light, and every time my eyes landed on them something in my chest tightened in a way I didn’t have a word f
• CALEB •“Your smile is contagious.”Jason said it quietly against my neck, his lips brushing over the mark he’d left there, warm and deliberate. Like he wasn’t just kissing skin but something he’d claimed and intended to keep. On the other side, Nelson did the same, his mouth finding his own mark with the same unhurried certainty, and for a moment I just lay there between them with both of them pressed close and the whole world reduced to that specific warmth and the sound of our breathing evening out together.I stared at the ceiling.The marks on my neck still pulsed softly. Not painfully they’d moved past pain into something else entirely, something that felt closer to a second heartbeat, steady and low, like a sound you don’t notice until the room gets quiet enough to hear it. I could feel both of them through it. Not words or thoughts, just presence the quiet, unmistakable awareness of exactly where they were, like two points of light in a dark room that I would always be able
•Caleb•Nelson help me sit down immediately Jason lips left my mouth. He hooked his fingers on the waistband of his pants and yanked it down. His massive cock tumbled out like a spring.I froze as if caught in a trance and almost instantly began salivating at the mere sight of it, suddenly forgetting I all my problems."You like it?" He asked, stroking the thick mass of meat so seductively it was hard to say no.‘I dare you to say no’ Stormy threatened in my head.‘I will be mad to utter that word’ I replied lust consuming me.I swallowed past a lump in my throat and nodded helplessly.I wasn't lying flat on the bed. My elbows pressed against it, propping my upper body up as my eyes stayed locked on him. On his massive oversized cock.While still standing on his knees, he closed the distance between us.His cock hovered on my face. Now at close view, it looked even bigger, the size and bulk impossible to ignore.I couldn't help wondering if I could comfortably take it.“You can take
•CALEB• I didn’t realize how exhausted I was until the doors to our private chambers closed behind us. The moment they did, the weight I’d been carrying since stepping into that forest settled over me all at once. My legs suddenly felt heavier. My head throbbed. Every thought seemed to collide with another before I could make sense of it. The Vampire King. The missing memories. The visions. The elders calling me Your Grace. The messenger from the Vampire Kingdom waiting beyond the palace gates. It was all too much. I stood there in the middle of the room without moving, staring at nothing in particular. I felt tired of being confused. Emotionally. I was tired of waking up every day only to discover my life was somehow even stranger than it had been the day before. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn’t notice Jason walking toward me until warm fingers gently brushed against mine. I looked down. His hand had found mine naturally, as though it belonged there. His thumb sl
•JASON•I had stopped trying to convince myself today could get any stranger.The moment Caleb admitted the Vampire King was the one who called him Teddy in the forest, my mind refused to settle. Every answer we got only created three more questions, and somehow every single one of those questions centered around our mate.Weather paced restlessly inside me.I don’t like this.“I know.”I really don’t like this.“You’ve already said that.”I’m saying it again.I almost smiled despite everything.Typical Weather.When he couldn’t solve something, he complained about it until someone else did.Unfortunately, none of us had the answers.The council chamber had gone completely silent.The elders looked from Caleb to Nelson and then to me, clearly sensing that something far bigger than any of us understood was unfolding right in front of them.Caleb still looked shaken.Not because of the questions.Because he had remembered something.Not everything.Just enough to frighten himself.I wal
•NELSON•When the elders first called Caleb Your Grace, I honestly thought they were joking or I misheard.I really did. It sounded ridiculous.Our mate had spent weeks hiding inside this palace because everyone wanted him dead. Then he became invisible. Then everyone forgot he existed. Now the same people who couldn’t even remember his name were standing in front of him, bowing like he had been royalty his entire life.At first, I assumed they were trying to be respectful because he was our mate.Now…After everything they had just said…I wasn’t laughing anymore.They weren’t joking.Not even a little.Rain shifted uneasily inside me.Wrong.“I know.”Because none of this made sense. Not a single part of it. The elders genuinely believed omegas were protected.Protected.I almost laughed just thinking about it.For centuries…For as long as I could remember…For as long as every history book in this kingdom recorded…We hunted omegas. We executed them. We considered them dangerous.
•NELSON•“Alpha Nelson…” Derick’s voice cut through my head without warning, sharp through the mind link, and every instinct in me went on alert immediately. Not because of what he said. But because of what I was holding in my arms.My mate.I tightened my grip slightly around him as I moved throug
•JASON•“I think we should get a healer.” I said louder than I intended, but I didn’t take them back. Because I could feel it, every passing second slipping his breath was getting weaker.If this kept going, he would be dead in minutes. And the worst part? I couldn’t even feel his wolf, no trace of
•CALEB•I didn’t realize how much a place could hold you until I had to leave it. The bus moved slowly at first, pulling away from the station like it was giving me one last chance to change my mind. One last chance to stand up, grab my bag, and run back to everything I just destroyed with my own h
•CALEB•“Let’s break up.” The words came out of my mouth, but they didn’t feel like mine. They felt forced. Dragged out of a place inside me that was already bleeding.Luke froze like I had just hit him.Worse.His fingers tightened around mine almost instantly, like letting go would make it real.
