Kirsch's POV It took me five minutes to catch up with the two crazy nuts. Nox took off like crazy the moment Stone left, and Taran took off after her without a word either. I was almost out of breath when we made home, and the only one who enjoyed that "night run", of course, was Rudy. [What do you think got into Taran?] I panted and asked Rudy as I watched those two disappeared in the third floor, [Do you think he know what happened with us and Nox?!] [There is nothing to tell, thanks to you!] Rudy grunted, rolling his eyes at me. [Do you really want Willa that way?] I sighed, [You know how she feel about us--] [Since when does love only occurs under a command?] Rudy grunted in frustration, [Sure I can feel your mate, but love can only happen to you. That's why we can't mark our mate without the human part.] [What are you saying? That we should mark her?] I blinked. [I'm saying, we feel the mate pull toward her, for whatever reason she can't feel it, she's meant for us!] Rudy

Willa's POV [How did Cerberus get his mind back?] Nox smirked at me, her hands trailing up and down on Kirsch. His breath messed up as he indulged her move, but he didn't touch us. [The mark...?] I blinked in confusion. [The mark.] Nox nodded with a cloying smile, [Our mark is blessed with true love, and only with the marks can our soul be woken. He took one, and he gave one. He's complete now.] [Oh my goddess, you woke up when Taran marked me! That's why you wanted him to mark me!] I covered my mouth as fear brimmed my eyes with tears. I had no idea! No one did. [Taran saw through my plan though. He figured it out. He wouldn't have marked me if you didn't go in rage because of your pathetic human parents.] Nox sighed lightly, [Do you know why he kept it to himself? Because he doesn't love YOU.] [You are lying!] Anger burst in me as I jumped at her, trying to get control. Nox rose her huge claw and suddenly I couldn't move anymore. There was purple light coming out of her finger

hi everyone Sorry I can't update today. Have been busy these days job changing and stuff, I will try as much as I can to update, but it might not be too stable for the next week. I'll be back before you know~! Rai Preview for the next chapter-- Taran's POV I never imagined that one day I can really get rid of the headache Cerberus gives me, but at the same time, I had never been so stressed by the curse. Because before, the worst that could happen would be my death, but now it's the lives of the two people that I love the most on the line, and I can't take their place either. And the worst part, is that one of them is the life-threatening danger to the other...

Taran's POV "Powell, good to see you again," I reached out my hand to Powell when Willa and Kirsch both turned their heads away when they saw Powell greeting us at the gate of the Treaty. "The same!" Powell grabbed my hand gratefully, and instantly let go when Willa shot him a death stare, "I'm so glad to have you with us, Alpha Taran!" "He's not the Alpha," Willa suddenly interrupted in a cold tone, "Kirsch Murphy is our current Alpha, and we are hoping you can at least pay your due respect to little details like these." Kirsch stared at Willa in shock with his jaw on the ground before he turned to me with confusion in his eyes. Though both of them are my mates, I do taste jealousy every time Willa appears close to Kirsch, and that was when I noticed -- Willa HAD been closer to Kirsch, and it actually started since the day when she failed to mark him. I was worried that day would ruin the little closeness they had before. "I'm terribly sorry! Miss..." Powell hesitated, and oddl

Kirsch It was like my heart inflated before exploded when that word rolled off Willa's tongue, and my head was totally blank during that fierce kiss. I almost wish I could die at that moment so the kiss would never end. I felt bad stealing Willa from Taran, but I couldn't help accepting Willa's teasing when she showed interest in me. She was like a poison with the most delicious flavor, and knowing it would kill me I devoured her still every time I got the chance. But until now, it was only teasing-- She would jump on me and lick my collarbone, sending tingles that make me tremble, but never had her lips land on mine; she would press herself against me and giggle, but mostly it was only when she wanted stuff FROM me, unlike now when her eyes were sinking into mine with pure desire as if all she wanted was me. And that was the poison I could never escape. "Mate!" I responded when my lips finally found a gasp of freedom before I took her into my chest and kneaded as if we could beco
