《Three's A Crowd》全部章節：第 41 章 - 第 50 章

I’ve had broken arms and legs, which healed like a human’s because I didn’t have my wolf yet. One time, I swore that Ares had his wolf. As improbable as that seems, I still believe it to be true.We were around 10 years old, and Ares was at it again. I won’t go into the details, but I was hanging off the side of a mountain, praying to the Moon Goddess that I wouldn’t die. Ares was leaning over the side, staring at me. I swear I saw his eyes flash to black and then go to his natural color.I know it shouldn’t be true because getting your wolf at the age of ten is unheard of. I wanted to go to my parents and ask, but I thought that would just cause more problems. Since then, I always tried to keep my distance just in case I really did see what I thought I saw.Ares has always acted as if he hated me, and I could never understand why that was. I ended up building a sibling bond with Atlas, and I only tolerated Ares because we are related. I’ve always felt that I had one brother instead o

“Th… that wasn’t the one you met first?” I shake my head. Esme backs up until her legs hit the edge of the couch. She falls onto the couch and places her hands on her chest.“Damn! I spoke to the Alpha that way?! Why didn’t you stop me, Akia?!” Esme shuts her eyes and curls into a ball on the couch. I want to laugh at how dramatic she’s being, but I won’t do that to her. I sit next to her and rub her back.“It’s okay. I know it’s hard because they are identical, but I promise you that’s Atlas. Ares is upstairs somewhere.” Esme starts to groan, and I rub her back.“I guess I need to apologize.” I let out a little laugh.“Yeah, you probably should do that. Also, don’t try to attack anyone else until you know who they are and even then, just don’t. Okay?” Esme pops her head up and looks at me. “I know, Esme, but please.” She shakes her head and closes her eyes. I guess that’s as close as I will get to an agreement as I can.~Atlas~I could almost cry out with relief when Akia emerges fro

~Adolf~I don’t want Ares to know, but I’m pretty sure that I know what’s wrong. It’s just a guess, but it’s a guess that I’m pretty sure about. I think all the strange things going on with me have a common denominator.I’m pretty sure that Nyx is messing with me right now. I’m not sure how she’s doing it or why that is the case. Does she think that I will get frustrated enough and let this go? Does she think she’s going to push me until I leave my human?None of those things is going to happen, no matter how far she pushes me. I’ve wanted Narissa for a long time now, and no one is going to get in my way. I turn over in my human’s head, trying to decide what the next step should be.I will admit that I’m a bit out of my element right now. I think I’ve gotten too complacent over the years, since I haven’t had to exert myself in any way. Now, it’s time to remember who I am and do what needs to be done to get what I want. I don’t care about Nyx or the Moon Goddess. There’s nothing they c

~Atlas~I couldn’t do it, I just couldn’t. No matter how much I tried, I couldn’t concentrate on my work. My thoughts kept drifting to her and staying here. I’ve never been so distracted in my life. I’ve never had trouble staying focused on the work in front of me.My brothers, mostly Apollo, always teased me that not even a naked woman would be able to pull my eyes off my work. I never found it as funny as he did, but it didn’t matter. Now I realize that was very wrong. The issue was that it would need to be the right woman, my fated mate.Akia has overwhelmed my senses, and I haven’t known her for long. If I’m like this now, I’m going to be lost when we finalize our bond. Maybe I need to rethink taking over the pack because I’m not sure if I can handle it.I look up and notice that Apollo is no longer in the office. I have no idea when he left, and that’s crazy. No one is usually able to get the drop on me, but I can see that I’m much too vulnerable right now. Let’s go talk to her.

~Atlas~Akia and I walk through the open field behind the packhouse. We are walking next to each other, occasionally brushing against each other. Neither of us has said anything, and the silence is a bit uncomfortable. I guess the issue is the presence of Ares.My brother has always been different, always been off. I’ve tried to be understanding and supportive of him and his behavior. I’ve never wanted to come down on him too harshly because my father does that enough for a lifetime. I wanted to give him something different, especially after our mom left.This behavior from him isn’t new, but it’s new at the same time. He and I have never had these kinds of dust-ups with each other; this is more what happens between Apollo and Ares. I feel off having this craziness between us, especially since it’s over a girl.As identical triplets, it was always known that we would share a mate. We discussed it briefly while growing up, and it’s always been understood. Now that Akia is in our lives,
