Three's A Crowd Epilogue (CXXXVII)
*Three Months Later*~Akia~I turn and look at the closed door again, almost trying to will it open. I sigh and roll my eyes, turning back and walking down the hall. I swear it makes no sense. I have no idea what’s going on.Esme got in last night and was supposed to be up this morning to go shopping with me. She knows that I need all the help I can get, yet I haven’t been able to find her. I wanted to leave at ten so we could get in and get out. It’s going on noon, and I still have no idea where she could be.I let out a breath and slowly make my way down the stairs. I keep trying to think where she could be, where I could have missed her, but I can’t figure it out. I step off the last step and stand with my hands on my hips. Where the hell could Esme be?Sparks erupt on my arms, and his

“Ares laughed at me. He asked me if I understood yet. He told me that HE was the one who saw me and instantly had to have me. He said that Adolf was along for the ride, but the actions taken were his, Ares. He thought and decided before acting.” I notice the change in Atlas’s breathing and how his body reacts to what I’m saying. “I need you to understand, Atlas. Your brother, Ares, made the choices that impacted both of our lives so severely. He decided to try to hold on to something that wasn’t his. He decided to eliminate who he perceived to be a threat. Ares did all of this, not Adolf. He wasn’t corrupted by a wolf spirit, he was the corruption.” I push myself up and lean forward. My hands wrap around Atlas’s face. I pull it forward and let my lips rest on his forehead for a bit. “You saved us from more torment and pain. Even if Adolf was removed, your brother would have still been a problem all by hims

~Akia~I didn’t plan to fall asleep, but I couldn’t help it. Everything was a lot, and I was running on fumes. I can’t even remember how all of this started because it feels like I’ve been going for days and not hours. I guess life gets like that when facing circumstances like the ones I just escaped from. Settling against Atlas made me feel safe, and sleep came quickly.My body is moving slowly, but it’s enough to wake me out of my sleep. I blink rapidly, trying to get my eyes to adjust. When I open my eyes, I find myself gliding in the air, wrapped in the arms of one of my mates. I want to look and see who it is, but the exhaustion is overwhelming. I let my eyes close and snuggle against the warmth that’s surrounding me.⇱⇲⇱⇲⇱⇲⇱⇲⇱⇲⇱⇲⇱⇲⇱⇲⇱⇲⇱⇲⇱⇲⇱⇲⇱⇲⇱⇲⇱⇲⇱⇲I wake up startled and sit up in bed. I gently touch my head and find it
Three's A Crowd CXXXIV
~Akia~I don’t know what to say right now. Ares is bleeding out on the ground right now. Apollo is standing over him, but there’s no emotion on his face. Atlas has passed out next to Ares’s body, the stress having gotten to him. I’m standing here, not knowing what to do.My mate is gone… one of my mates is gone. I should feel sad, heartbroken. My heart should be shattered, and I should be trying to figure out how to survive without him. This is what I should be doing, but I’m not. I’m actually okay, and that’s a bit terrifying to say.If I’m being honest with myself, it feels like there’s a weight that has been lifted off me. Ares and Adolf are gone, and I’m not even mad about it. It’s crazy how calm I feel, but the truth is what it is.I know that Ares is the first of my mates that I met, b
Three's A Crowd CXXXIII
~Atlas~The pain in my chest was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced in my life. It didn’t hurt this much when I was told that my mom had walked away from us or when we found out that she hadn’t left, but she’d been killed. I never knew something could hurt this much.There’s a warm hand on my back, tracing small circles. The feeling is soothing, but I don’t want it… I don’t deserve it. My head rests on softness, but it’s different from a pillow.I’ve stopped screaming and begging for something different. My throat is dry, and there are no more tears. I’m just left with the horrific pain. I killed my brother. I ended the life of my blood brother. I can never face anyone again; I can never be forgiven. “It’s okay, my child.” I slowly lift my head, struggling against the intense desire to disappear.

~Nyx~I stand and watch Adolf lose his sh.it. He huffs and puffs for a while, his eyes shut. I’m sure he’s trying to contact his human, but that isn’t happening. His connection with Ares has been severed by me.When that doesn’t work, he runs toward the others, but he moves right through them like a gas. It’s kind of funny, and if this weren’t a dire situation, I’d probably laugh at him. I can laugh later, right now, I will let him exhaust himself.His growl is strong enough to shake the trees if they were in the same plane that we are in. Adolf turns his head toward us and sneers. All of his teeth are visible, and there’s saliva dripping off the sharp tips. What did you do?!I scoff and roll my eyes. “What are you talking about?”Don’t play with me, bitch! Wh

We were let right through the gate without hesitation. We were also given directions to reach the pack hospital. The moment we pulled up, I wasted no time in pulling the door open and jumping out. I’m not even sure that the car actually stopped, but I can’t be bothered with that now.I run into the
Three's A Crowd LII
~Apollo~The car is quiet, except for the hum of the motor. Atlas is neck deep in pack work on his laptop, and the warriors in the front are doing their jobs quietly. I’ve been sitting next to Atlas, lost in my own thoughts. We are heading to Akia’s pack right now so we can meet her family.We went

~Akia~On Fridays, I usually have two classes with Matt. I was excited to see him since we had gone on a date the night before. Matt wasn’t in class. I don’t remember him being sick last night, so I got worried.I walk into the dorm and plop on the couch. I pull my phone out for the millionth time,
Three's A Crowd VIII
~Unknown~I do my homework, and I do it well. I found the registration office in a short amount of time. I swallow the disgusting liquid I got from an acquaintance. It’s something I’ve used in the past, but I hate using it when I do.It’s a potion that doesn’t last too long, but allows me to distor
