For a moment, there was utter silence. The souls didn't expect my grumpy wolf to snap at them. Usually, after any acknowledgment, the comments would get worse. They were more demanding or demeaning. It was almost as if they were lonely and starved for attention to the point they would speak to anyone, even if it drove them insane.
Before they could utter a word, I grabbed Alijah by the collar of his shirt and crashed my lips into his. I didn't want to hear them or want him to do so. Even though my brothers were dead tired in the same room as us, I didn't stop.
No, nothing will stop me from claiming what's mine.
My tongue entered Alijah's mouth, triggering a nervous chuckle to leave his lips, but he didn't pull away.
Ah… I wondered if this possessive nature comes from Fenrir or me.
He began radiating a red hue within my arms, triggering my birthmark to respond to his energy. My desire to protect him outshone the will to defend my sanity. The thing about the powers of the blood moon was that yearning drove them. Alijah's wish was to destroy the world, while my dad's was to protect those he loved.
Mine was also like my father's and my siblings', even though I could never control them at will as they could. Dad was more advanced than we were in every way, and I hadn't tried to use them since my fall—it had been eight years since then.
So... Maybe Fenrir isn't motivated by bloodshed but by the desire to protect and save those he loves. There is so much I don't know about you, but you wanted to save Alijah, didn't you?I mean... Midnight called you twins in your past life.
So... did that mean they were each other's halves like Vera was to me? Fenrir... What did you bless me with? With your soul? Your love? What exactly... did you give me?
"This is cheating." Alijah huffed, pulling away slightly from me.
Instead of saying anything, I grinned before yanking him into another kiss.
Cheating? Oh, everything's fair in war, my loving wolf.
Even though my essence of the moon wasn't strong enough to block out a single word from the souls that badgered us, if I connected with Alijah like in Azear, everything changed. It was something that could only happen willingly, which wasn't something he'd resist, as his tongue quickly caressed mine too.
Will the bond that Midnight allow me to reach you? So I can see what you do?
Again, my wolf drew away for air, only for me to drag him back suddenly. I was drowning him, and I didn't care. His hand clasped the back of my head as saliva dripped down our chins. The energy from him was seeping into me, causing him to groan.
Instinctively, it snapped me out as I tugged away from him.
"I'm sorry, did it hurt?" I whispered, gazing at Alijah.
He chuckled and was out of breath, but otherwise…
"No, it didn't." He licked his lips.
That was when I noticed the ghosts were lower than they had been before.
Did I do that?
My body was radiating red rather than the normal purple hue, leaving my bosom burning a bit because of it, too. The birthmark was shining red through my clothes, too.
"I'm glad you're finally seeing what you're capable of. Let's stop here for today, and it seems your brothers are done, too," he added, prompting my gaze to land on their motionless bodies.
I hadn't realized when they lost consciousness. However, I wondered if I had dragged their essence, bringing them past the edge, leaving me unsure if I was the cause.
The moment my wolf stood up, he almost lost his balance as I grabbed his shirt, preventing him from falling. Somehow, I was fully rejuvenated, while they all seemed to struggle.
"Are you okay?" I asked, voice cracking.
Alijah smiled gently. "Yes, just have to get used to this feeling."
"What feeling?" I mumbled, holding onto him.
His demeanor reminded me of the night he had drunk the aphrodisiac.
"Sharing my essence with you. I've only done that once before in Azear. It still feels weird and uncomfortable, but it doesn't hurt, so don't worry." Alijah answered.
I pouted, rolling my eyes. "I don't want to do anything that makes you uneasy."
It wouldn't matter in an actual battle, though. If we were to separate, he wouldn't be there for me to touch. However, he wasn't telling me something that related to my brothers' current condition. Perhaps the bond was like a lifeline, allowing him to help me, no matter where I was.
I still had a lot to understand from all of this.
"I can handle it, don't worry. Use me to your pleasure." My wolf smirked teasingly.
I growled at him, tapping his shoulders.
You have to stop being so sweet to me.
It only took Alijah a minute to recover from what I had done to him, though my brothers were out cold, leaving him to take them back to their rooms before going with me for a late lunch. After the meal, we headed to the bathroom for a hot shower, where he did nothing but kiss me as passionately as I had done back in the stadium.
Even though I wanted more, he gave me nothing until we returned to my room. There he let loose, dropping me on the bed and leaving me flustered. It didn't take long for him to join me, though. Pinning me down on the sheets, he smirked, peeling off my shirt to expose my breasts.
There he suckled on my sensitive nobs until he left them tender. Once again, the sensation of saliva on them left me feeling hotter than before. However, what made me jump was the slightest touch he gave my nipples. A chuckle left him, trailing kisses down my chest and belly.
When he got to my navel, he yanked my shorts off.
"I love you, Rem." Alijah breathed, leaving me to shiver in anticipation.
However, before I could answer him, he spread my legs apart, and a yelp was all that was left to me when I felt his hot breath on my intimate lips.
"Wait…" I mumbled, not knowing if I could handle it.
It felt like any touch would send me over, though he smirked, trailing his finger down my wet folds.
"All I did was suck your nipples a bit, yet you're this wet. If only you were as eager in training." He teased, licking his lips.
His eyes devoured me while I couldn't help but feel tiny in his gaze.
"Stupid," I huffed, grabbing hold of his hair.
A second later, I pushed him into my groin, triggering him to grasp onto my thighs.
"If you have that much energy, then…" I trailed off with a smirk on my lips.
In response, he chuckled, pushing his fingers into me. A whine left my lips as he lapped my belly with his tongue. I allowed myself to fall back onto the bed, indulging the feeling he was giving me. Waves of pleasure were slowly rising within me with each stroke of his spongy muscle, causing me to pull on his hair.
The tug triggered him to gaze at me, and I darted my gaze to the ceiling, allowing myself to sink into the bed under me. Even though he was slightly distracted, the movement of his fingers never stopped.
It felt like he was trying to reach my womb with every thrust of them. The way he caressed my walls made me mewl his name in ecstasy.
"Did you want something, my love?" He finally asked.
His voice sent shivers running down my body. The real reason for it was the feeling of the knot in my core tightening, which meant it wouldn't be long until I…
"I want to reach my bliss with you." I huffed, feeling all tingly.
"Hmm… what was that?" He hummed.
I could almost feel myself snap.
Stop playing with me!
"Please?" I mumbled, puffing my cheeks.
It seemed that my punishment for my earlier blunder was still in effect. He gazed at me, pulling his fingers out, leaving me yearning for more.
"You want to stop?" he teased, licking them.
At that point, I felt like I could see doubles. Before I knew it, I launched myself at him as he smirked at me, allowing himself to fall onto the bed with me on top. A second later, I seized his lips as I dipped my hands down his pants.
Playing with his tongue, I stroked his heat, freeing it from its confines before nibbling on his bottom lip.
"Do you want to stop?" I wagged my tail, pressing my thumb against his moist head.
His eyes shimmered brightly before I found myself back on the bed. A moment later, he slipped his way into me.
"Fuck no," he huffed, thrusting himself into my core.
Pulling on his shirt, he quickly removed it, allowing me to put my hands on his chest. I liked it best when we were skin-to-skin. Even if it was hotter and more of a mess, I didn't mind, nor did he. After all, he was mine, and I was his.
This would be a night of passion, before more headaches arrived the next day. Though no matter how often I felt him, it would never be enough.
I love you, and I'll show it to you whenever I can, no matter who is gazing down at us.
Our love making didn't stop, even when I found the release to my knot, leaving my body convulsing under him as he exploded within my depths. No, many more came after it, and every single one was as intense as the first one. However, no matter how many times he poured himself into me, I wouldn't bear a child—something that bothered me at the back of my head.
However, it wasn't long before I rested in his arms, falling into a warm slumber. Vera finally joined us at the stadium the following day, though she was visibly upset. Alijah was difficult on her, too. He almost destroyed her as payback for something that had happened between them.
This wolf took no pity on anyone, leaving no lasting marks on us, yet the boys, who could heal faster than Vera or I, took it into the roughest. I had never seen my sister so bothered and distant before. The frustration of being unable to do much against Alijah made her scream.
Though it didn't matter, my wolf wouldn't relent even if we cried.
