[Mykel’s POV]"You said, mate." Gramps said slowly, furrowing his brows. "Are you sure of this?""Positive." Mykel responded, giving me a gentle smile. "I felt it the minute I set eyes on her. She is the one the moon goddess made just for me. "My mouth dropped open as I listened to the sweet bullshit dripping from Mykel's mouth. How could he maintain such a seductive expression while saying such embarrassing things?"This coming from you, mister I don’t give a damn about any woman." Gramps chuckled, relaxing in his seat. "Seems that even you aren’t immune to the pull of the bond.""Wait," I gasped, looking from Mykel to Gramps. "Are you actually going to suddenly be fine with all of this?"I knew I probably shouldn’t be opening my mouth. I mean, my life was on the line, but this was all too damn much to take in. All this mate-talk bullshit was making me queasy."Mykel is a stubborn one." Gramps chuckled."I’m getting whiplash." I huffed, collapsing against Mykel’s broad chest. "Weren
[Armal’s POV] I waited as Mia lounged on my lap with her arms wrapped around my neck. From the look in Mykel’s eyes, I was sure he was ready to kick my ass, and frankly, I was ready to kick his as well. How was it even possible that we had the same mate? "I was commissioned to kill Amya." Mykel began, his gaze narrowing more and more the longer Mia wouldn’t move from her place. "But little did I expect that I would discover that the murderer I was meant to remove from this world was my mate." A laugh wanted to escape me at his words, followed by the strong desire to kill him for even thinking of laying a hand on either Amya or Mia. "Can I explain this to you boys?" Mia asked, perking up. "Go on." I chuckled. "You aren’t going to listen to our opinions anyway." "So true." Mia purred. "Anyway, what had happened was this…Amya met Mykel because she avenged your death." "What?" I asked. What was that even supposed to mean? "What do you mean avenged?" "Miguel is dead." Mia responded
[Mykel’s POV]My head was spinning. How the fuck was any of what I was being told possible? A two-souled hybrid, and one of those souls was my mate, while the other was the mate of one of the few people I actually trusted with my life. Fuck, this was maddening. The damn moon goddess really had a sense of humor and I was sure that bitch was laughing at all of us right now."So, when you two switch, where does the other go?" I asked slowly, suddenly beginning to worry that something bad was happening to my mate."Would you like to see?" Mia asked, her eyes flashing with mischief. "I can show you better than I can tell you.""What does that mean exactly?" I asked, going on the defense."Just trust her." Armal chuckled. "It is pretty interesting.""You’ve been there?" I asked, suddenly becoming annoyed.Dammit, was I really going to become jealous over the fact that Armal was able to know things about this odd woman that we somehow shared? What was I, a teenager again? I was a grown ass m
[Amya’s POV]A gasp of pleasure escaped me the minute Mykel’s tongue began to dance along my clit, sending waves of intoxicating sensations through me. Fuck, it felt so damn good. I wasn’t sure if it was due to my already being so turned on from all his torture or if it was due to the mate bond, but it felt like heaven and I wanted more."Fuck… Mykel… faster." I gasped, not feeling any embarrassment over begging. "That just isn’t enough."Instead of doing as I asked, Mykel lifted his head and smirked, a gleam of amusement flashing in his eyes."Didn’t I say I was the one in charge?" He asked, placing his hands on my hipbones and gently pressing. A moan escaped my lips as that simple touch on my sensitive skin, where he had bitten me, drove me mad. "Do you understand?""Y-yes," I moaned, arching my back. "I understand!""Good girl."Pleased with my obedience, Mykel buried his face in my folds once more, and his tongue moved with a new vigor. Fuck, it felt amazing, but I still wanted mo
[Amya’s POV]"Looks like Armal took things too far." Pam laughed, beginning to climb the stairs that led to Mykel’s room. "This should be good."Confusion flared through me along with worry as I listened to the sound of crashing from above. Were they really fighting that seriously?"Dammit!" I growled, quickly scrambling up after her and reaching just in time to see Mykel and Armal go crashing out the window."Don’t just stand there." Pam called as I stood in the middle of the room with wide eyes. "We are going to miss a good show!""What?" I yelped.Instead of responding, Pam quickly moved forward and wrapped her arms around me. Throwing me over her shoulder, she leapt down from Mykel’s room, landing gracefully between Lucian and Grendal, who were still taking everything in from down below. I had to admit, for a woman of her size, she really was graceful in her movements."Come on, boys! Time to place a new bet!""Another?" Lucian asked, beginning to follow as Pam quickly made her wa
[Amya’s POV]After returning to the tavern, Pam showed me to a spare room where she insisted I could sleep for the evening. I was too tired to argue, so I took her up on her offer and quickly stripped out of my blood-stained and torn wedding dress. Once I was left in nothing but my underwear, I plopped down on the much too soft bed and attempted to sleep. However, no matter how much I tried, sleep evaded me until the sun began to peek in through the tiny window of my room, coloring the floor and walls around me.Giving up on trying to sleep, I got out of bed and rummaged through the drawers of a small dresser that sat across from my bed. With luck, I found a large black t-shirt and a pair of simple grey pants. Making some quick modifications to them so that they would actually fit, I made my way out into the now completely empty tavern beyond.Looking around, I had to admit that it didn’t necessarily feel right with all the patrons in it. It was almost like a very lonely ghost town th
[Mykel’s POV]I made my way towards Amya, taking pleasure in the scent of her arousal that was beginning to attack my nose. Fuck, it was like a siren's call and I could feel my steps quickening until I was close enough to feel her warmth beginning to seep into me."Then stick to your words, Mr. Assassin." Amya purred, licking her lips.Damn, she was sexy, but if I did stick to my words, would the same thing happen as last time? As much as I wanted her, I didn’t want her to think of anyone else but me while I fucked her."I intend to, but first, you’re going to answer some questions."Letting a slow smile spread across my face, I began to pull down the much too large pants that were hanging low on her waist, revealing the lacy panties she was wearing beneath."What do you mean?" She breathed. "Who the hell does an interrogation as foreplay?""Me," I said simply, yanking her pants down completely, leaving her in only her shirt and underwear."Now, first question...."Standing, I grabbed
[Amya’s POV]I took a deep breath and tried to collect my thoughts. I still didn’t really understand why Mykel was so hell-bent on knowing about my past, but in the end, I guess it wouldn’t hurt to tell him. Not like speaking the words would change the outcome. No matter what, Greyson was dead and he would never be able to come back.‘Are you sure about this?’ Mia asked, attempting to make me change my mind. ‘Isn’t that wound still pretty fresh?’‘Doesn’t matter.’ I insisted. ‘At one point or another, he will find out. Isn’t it better to just be brutally honest?’Sure, it would reopen a wound and cause the pain that had become a dull throb to reappear, but I actually found myself wanting to talk to someone about this. Especially because, up until now, I had kept it strictly to myself.‘If you say so.’ Mia sighed, slipping back into the Oasis, so I was alone with my thoughts once more."First, could you please remove your hand?" I huffed, ticking my gaze down to the large hand that sti
