Brax’s pov Goddess, he looked good. I know it’s not the right time or place to look at Airk’s body, but I haven’t seen him naked in months, and he still looks just as amazing as when I fell for him the first time. ‘Or only time,’ Hudson said, wrapping his body around Airk to keep him safe and warm. I knew Airk would need me; he was just too stubborn to ask, so I was ready to go as soon as Argo mindlinked me. While Argo meant well, he could fuck situations up easily. Sometimes Airk needed fewer words and more comfort. So I stayed in my wolf’s form, letting Airk touch my fur and keeping him close, until the drugs wore out. Airk scent was a bit stronger, but I did not feel his wolf like last time. But this was just a trial run; who knew what would happen once Airk tried this under a full moon? - - - - - - I woke up in the woods, having shifted back, with Airk in my arms. Both of us really naked, and my dick very present. It was impossible not to get hard when I was this close to my

Argo’s pov “So, how is he?” Brax asked me. “Aren’t you supposed to know that?” I replied, raising my eyebrow. “Argo….” Brax growled. “He’s okay. He’s just scared, I guess. I’ll fucking talk to him tonight.” Brax sighed, his hands in his hair, looking like he was so fucking tired. “Tomorrow is the Blood Moon.” “I know; I’ll fucking talk to him, okay?” Airk and Brax seemed fine from the outside. They kissed and held hands, but there was this weird fucking tension, and it wasn’t their usual sexual tension. It was something else. Of course, I had talked to Airk and heard the whole fucking story. Blow jobs in the woods, shower sex. I mean, he didn’t go into details, but he told me enough to paint a picture that I didn’t want to see. ‘You asked!’ Stark growled inside my head, protective of my brother. I did fucking ask. Airk and I had always shared everything, but sex was something private, and it was different. We could talk about it, but going into details was a bit too fucking m

Brax’s povAfter arguing with Airk, I went to my gym and hit the bag until I felt better. I was hitting the bag for hours when I realized it wasn’t working. Airk and I needed to talk this out, and no amount of boxing would fix this.‘You told him we're mates,’ Hudson said, speaking to me the first time since I left our room. He knew I needed quiet to clear my head.‘Yes, now the ball is in his court.’‘But it might scare him even more,’ Hudson argued.I knew it could. It wasn’t a conscious decision to tell him, but holding in the fact that he was my mate felt like lying. Pretending things were fine was lying too.Things between Airk and me weren’t fine because we were both holding back out of fear. I was scared to hurt him, and he was scared of giving himself fully to me. I understood why, even if it did hurt at times. I would never hurt Airk, but this wasn’t about me, but about him.I crawled into bed next to Airk, putting my arms around him. I have never loved anyone the way I did Ai

Mila’s pov Argo was so excited that his feelings woke me up through the bond. I looked around the room to see that he was already gone. Did he let me sleep in? ‘He’s so sweet,’ Leysa said, sounding so in love. I couldn’t blame my wolf; I was feeling the same way. Things between Argo and me were good. Really good, and I wondered if it would always be this easy. The sex was great—no better than great; the work was awesome; and he was a super mate. There are no other words to describe my pretty boy other than perfect. ‘Well, he does fart in his sleep,’ Leysa countered, and I laughed out loud at her words. He did, but somehow it didn’t matter to me. He was still perfect. I stretched my arms before I mindlinked Argo. ‘What has gotten you so excited?’ ‘Fuck, you were supposed to sleep in, sunshine.’ I didn’t mind waking up; I could always go to bed early tonight. Leysa laughed at my words, ‘I doubt Argo will let you sleep tonight.’ ‘I couldn’t sleep when I could feel how excited you

Isaac’s pov “I am so fucking happy for Airk.” Argo told me over the phone. “It’s a big fucking step.” “It is.” I replied, happy for my friends. Both of them got the mates they deserved, and especially after everything Airk went through, I was glad things were going well with Alpha Brax. I missed my friends, though. We weren’t just best friends, we were cousins, and we grew up together. It had always been the three of us. Hazel often joined our little group once she was rescued from the School but when Argo and I both started having a crush on her, it complicated things. But now Hazel is gone too. She moved to Eli’s pack, and it was just me that was left. “So, how are things with you? I’m fucking sorry for not calling sooner, but with everything that’s happening around here, it’s just been crazy busy.” Argo said. I didn’t blame him. He was the gamma of the Blood Rock pack, and the soldiers needed a lot more training than ours did. “It’s fine. Does Aunt Leia know?” Argo chuckled,
