IAN
The war was f*cking crazy. Agmarbhs were bouting from every corner and they’d wiped out almost half of our Sigmas. Good news was that more agmarbhs were dying than wolves.While I fought one off with my sword, another jumped in and grabbed my sword by its teeth. I pulled out my gun and shot the previous one in its head, trying to free my sword from the other monster’s mouth.Sturdily, I moved it closer to me with a single pull and raised my leg to its face, kicking it hard. It was forced back and I used the opportunity to rip its head apart.Just as I was reloading my gun, one unsuspecting beast attacked me from behind and tried to crush me with its weight, scratching its claws on my head. But I stunned the beast with a gunshot and when it had released me for that split second, I rolled away and got back on my feet, shooting it for real this time.Cannon and Kane were nowhere to be seen and I couldn’t help but feel that I was missingKATRINAAll three of them were here… but they weren’t three anymore. Their auras were stirring and wavering, sending depressing sensations flying around the room and while Ian stared in utter shock, Kane backed away from the corpse, unable to close his mouth as he came toward my direction.I was numb and had lost control of my body, just sobbing quietly as I continued to cradle back and forth in my clasping position. These brothers were never on good terms. I doubt all three of them had ever been. They were always fighting… arguing over something and were sometimes ready to kill themselves because of this.A part of me believed that their behaviors were due to… circumstances. Because of how they were raised. Without a good father or their real mother but I’m not sure. But what I knew was that, behind these large handsome wolves that drove every she-wolf crazy, there was a broken past… and now a broken present.‘Kat…’ She paused, her words swelling up and the burden she placed on me,
KATRINA Melora hadn’t said a word since it happened and Hilda’s question just made her further curl into the darkness, leaving herself out of everything but I couldn’t blame her. I’d do the same thing if I were in her position. I’d do anything to be in her position now.I had nothing to say, and even if I did, I didn’t know how to say it. The kids were looking at themselves, unfortunately connecting the two incidents, causing my heart to race.Hilda’s eyes fell on me for the last time and she opened her mouth to say something but I made a run for it.Swiftly, I turned around and rushed up the stairs, trying to hold back the flood of tears that were just waiting to drown me in an ocean of sadness. I heard the kids call my name and Ian’s voice as well but there was no turning back.My room was distant from here and it was devastating to know that I still had to pass a long way to reach it. Then I caught a faint eucalyptus aroma. My steps traced back and there I was, standing in front o
KATRINA Carissa stayed with me for an extra hour before she left and what we mostly discussed was centered around the things we loved to do back in Seattle, to take our minds off things. We shared the sweet blissful memories we had over there and missed them.I wished I could go back but I was also secretly wishing that if we did, I’d want a different version of the Triplets to join us.Carissa said she wouldn’t be able to stay for long because she had to clear things with her father. According to her, she had dreams while she was in this ‘bubble’ where she saw her heartbroken father on his knees, going to her graveyard every day and crying, begging his daughter to come back.Mr. Watson is a terrible person, no doubt, but he was a father after all. She said she’d be with me for the day before leaving since she was a little afraid to leave me alone again. She didn’t say so but I knew what was going on in her mind.One by one, everyone was leaving. Kendra left. Gina and Jason left. She
KATRINA“Can we go to the garden now? I want to see our flowers,” Aurora said, rolling on the bed, being the first to have changed into her clothes.“One second, baby. Your brothers and sisters are still getting ready.”I got everyone set and put smiles on their faces as I led them out to the garden. On the way, I stopped a maid and asked for some chicken nuggets, along with a bottle of beer for me.Alcohol is the only thing that’s keeping me sane today, and now that it’s evening, I needed another dose.The kids went to the flowers that they loved tendering and were glad to be outside since it was been a while. I took my seat on the wooden chair and was considering crashing into that big wall, breaking it apart, and just running into the forest, a breath of non-stop fresh air.‘Not a bad idea except I can’t break that freaking wall.’‘We’ll climb then.’‘Unless you’ll bring Kane along.’I remembered what Sesan said as I stirred the alcohol in my coffee mug with my fingers. And yes, I’
KATRINA Adrenaline pumped into my veins. I thought I would hit the ground and had prepared myself for the great fall, but rather, I fell into strong powerful arms that held me tight as my dreadful scream was cut short.It took me a second to recover and process that I was no longer falling… and had not crash-landed on the floor but my heart was still severely pounding.I opened my weary eyes and gaped into Ian’s sky-blue ones. To my surprise, he had been looking into my eyes as well—and not other ‘parts’ of my ‘body’—in a kind of mesmerizing way. Just staring at me, and didn’t break out of it until I deliberately blinked.He shook his head and turned away, before falling back on me. “Where were we?”Yeah, where were we? I jumped off him and punched him straight in the face. He wasn’t expecting it, I wasn’t planning it and he was unable to dodge it fast enough before it made some damage. Ian held his face, grimacing while I stepped back, shooting out my claws. “You nearly killed me!
KATRINA I didn’t believe it.On the piece of paper were the same words that brought me back to the Triplets almost four weeks ago. Those words changed everything for me and my children and now…I looked at him with a raised brow as he leisurely got out of the water like he had all the time in the world—like I had all the time in the world. First, it was just his head I sighted but d*mn, but when his trunk came into view, I realized that if I didn’t look away, I’d be wetter than him.His hair was soaked, and water dribbled down from it onto his face and shoulders. Kane’s gaze was tight on me and he had that super sexy smirk on. His chest was exposed and the fair lighting made his abs, pecs, and sparkle like he was a lost star that was looking for its way back to space. He climbed out of the pool and by I could see his white dripping swim shorts, my nipples hardened and my fingers were itching to touch. I was getting out of cont
KATRINAMy words seemed to have taken Kane over the edge and I couldn’t help but grin at the thought of him going rough on me. He freed me and I went on my knees, using one hand to play at the waistband of his soaking-wet shorts and the other to reach in for his d*ck.His subtle groans told me he loved it and I took it to the next level. Pulling his shorts down, I widened my needing eyes when I realized the enormous load I was about to take in.I wouldn’t lie, this passionate event took me to the incident that took place six years ago and though it made me want to step back, pick up my dress and run out of this room, I was too deep in the desire to step back now.He gathered my hair into an untidy ponytail and squeezed the base—a reaction to the little spit I added to his already wet d*ck. I lubricated it, glancing at him as I gave his pride gentle strokes up from the base to the tip. “You’re gonna torture me… aren’t you?”I bit my lip, taking hold of his d*
KANE Vanilla… where was it coming from?I breathed the aroma in and didn’t move an inch, afraid that the wonderful scent would vanish.I realized that my right hand was over someone’s waist and my nose was curled into the same wolf’s neck, taking in its scent. I didn’t think much of it until I opened my eyes and saw a naked Katrina, rolled in the covers like a sausage roll, back to chest, a*s to crotch, calmly sleeping, right next to me.It took me a minute to gather my thoughts and connect them so I could understand why we were in this miraculous position. But d*mn was it a dream come true.‘What happened here? F*ck… my head hurts.’‘Your poor memory isn’t an excuse for forgetting you had s*x with Kat.’The missing dots connected. ‘Oh, sh*t!’ I unfroze, disentangling myself from Katrina, and slipped out of the bed—the hardest thing I’d do all day. With my palms on my face, I stepped back, cursing myself for doing something so stupid. ‘How could this happen?! Katrina’s gonna f*cking
