A Troubled Mate.
Nyxion
"I told you to throw her back in," I growled at Verek as we walked towards his room.
"Bro, relax. She complained about panic attacks and she really seemed scared. There's no way I would have just thrown her back in there. We don't treat servants like that," He said calmly, a tiny smirk forming on his face.
I glanced at him, wondering why his tone was weird all of a sudden.
"Since when do you care about how servants feel?" I muttered, shooting him a look.
He chuckled softly, but didn't give a response. Somehow, I didn't blame him. That girl...that girl was something else. We had originally planned to keep her locked up or tortured as a way of getting back at Talon, but just her scent was enough to tip me over the edge. I wouldn't survive any more time with her in here.
Why would the Moon Goddess decide to curse all three of us to be fated to a maid from a rival pack?
"Because we're assholes," Aeron finished, a tiny curl of his lips as he stared at me. I didn't bother asking him how he heard my thoughts. Sometimes the bond between the three of us was strong enough to do that, but it was only in certain situations.
Like right now, as we all stood outside Varek's door, restricting ourselves as Naeris's scent filled the hallway, messing with our minds.
I placed my hand on the doorknob.
"No, she probably hasn't even gotten into the shower yet," Aeron said, his voice stiff. The image of her naked, her soft, supple skin, and her smooth thighs almost made my knees buckle.
I gritted my teeth. What the hell was this?
"How long has she been in there?"
"About five minutes."
"Well, Aerila's waiting for me. I can just give her the instructions as she's in the bathroom," I said, pushing past him.
"I don't think that's a...."
I cut him off, already walking into the room. Yeah, Aeron was right. It was definitely a bad idea.
Naeris stood completely naked in the center of the room, her hair disheveled, her big green eyes staring at me in shock. My eyes traveled to the curve of her breasts, the fleshy mound between her clenched thighs, and I could've sworn, my cock jerked in my pants.
Shit.
Slythar, my wolf, was all over the place, pushing at me to go to her. It took years of remembered pain to not take her right there and then. Behind me, I could feel Varek and Aeron's wolves surge as they saw her.
Good, it wasn't just me.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'll take the bath now," she said, frantically grabbing the towel on the bed to cover herself up.
Her boobs jiggled as she bent down, and I lost it.
I walked towards her, slowly, but calmly. In a way that I knew would make her feel intimidated. I heard her breath hitch as I got closer, and all I could think of was how many more sounds I could make come out of her mouth.
Varek and Aeron followed behind me slowly. I grabbed her chin, leaning down to brush her lips. Her taste still remained on mine, intoxicating, addictive, something I'd never felt before. If Aerila didn't show up when she did before, I might have lost control.
Mate, Slythar growled. I didn't contradict.
My hands traveled to her boobs, grabbing one softly. Her lips trembled and a soft moan left as I pinched her nipple.
Those moans, gracious.
"Please..." She whimpered.
"Please, what?" I said darkly, staring at her with hooded eyes. I knew I was already harder than a rock.
"I..." Her voice faltered, and I chuckled.
Aeron moved behind her, pressing himself to her back, and planting soft kisses down her neck. She tipped her head back, biting her lip to stop the moan that wanted to leave. The sight was wild.
Varek grabbed her ass, trailing soft lines to where her pussy was. I tried not to look too long. I didn't dare think what would happen if I did.
But then, images flashed in my head. Vivid, painful, but not forgotten. Sirella, lifeless on the floor, blood pooling beneath her. Talon, a happy smirk forming on his face, filled with malice. The day my entire world shattered.
My chest tightened.
"No," I growled.
I pushed Naeris back and she stumbled, if not for Aeron. Varek immediately noticed the change in my mood and moved away from her, but didn't ask me anything.
"Take that bath quick and meet us downstairs," I said sharply, and she flinched.
Aeron slowly let go of her, his eyes lingering on her body. I pulled him by the arm until all three of us were outside the room.
"Sometimes I wonder if you know how to have fun," Varek grumbled, folding his arms as we walked towards the meeting hall.
"Easy for you to say. When was the last time a man killed the love of your life?" I snapped, my aura filling the hallway.
Varek's lips pressed into a thin line.
"Nyxion," Aeron whispered, shooting me a disapproving look. "I think we're being unfair to her,"
"Yeah? Or you just want her soft ass?" Varek growled at him. Aeron growled back, and I stepped in between them both.
"This is pointless. She's our mate, fine and good. But we have to find a way to deal with it, because I am not making her my Luna," I said, glaring at them both.
"I think you mean our. We should have a say in this as well," Aeron chimed in.
"I wouldn't have a problem making her mine, except I have to share her with both of you," Varek added, his voice filled with resentment.
"And what's that supposed to mean?" I asked, staring down at him.
"It means I hate it. I hate the fact that she's for three of us, and not me alone," He stormed off, his anger moving into the air like puffy clouds.
"Is he always this grumpy?" Aeron whispered.
I clenched my jaw, rubbing my temples. This girl was going to become a big problem.
