Anthony kisses me like he's starved. He nips at my upper lip, then my lower. Sucking on each one, silently telling me to open up.
I part my lips and he slides his tongue in.
I feel warm, so warm.
Asherr strokes my thigh while Anthony kisses me roughly.
"Do you like that?" Ash whispers and sucks my ear lobe into his hot mouth.
"Mmh" I moan. I don't think i remember how to speak.
"You taste divine, love." Anthony says as he comes up for air.
"You've had enough, Ant. It's my turn now." Ash says and grabs my throat turning me to him.
He doesn't go in immediately, just nudges his nose against mine. He blows air on my lips as if to cool them off.
I whimper softly and grab his neck.
"Please..."
"What do you want ma bichè? Is it my tongue in your mouth?" Ash says as he climbs on top of me and kicks my legs so they're spread open.
I clutch Anthony's hand and nod eagerly.
Anthony inserts his fingers in my hair and tilts my face upwards so my neck is arched towards Asher, giving him more access.
Asher brushes his lips over mine and then goes in for the kill. He kisses me with strenghth and purpose.
His hand cups my breast through my shift and he squeezes.
I moan louder into his mouth.
Anthony, not one to be left out, plants wet kisses on my neck down to my chest.
Asher thrusts against me as he kisses me.
"Fuck." He says as he eases off me.
Why did he stop?
Anthony rolls off me and stares at the ceiling panting. Ash mirrors him.
"What's wrong?" I ask, sullen.
"Absolutely nothing, Ash?" Anthony chuckles.
"Never been better." Ash says softly.
"Then why did we stop?" I whisper. This is so embarrassing.
They both turn to me, sensing the change in my mood.
"Anita." Anthony says seriously. "You are the sexiest woman i have ever seen. I have never wanted anyone more. We're only trying to take our time with you because we don't want to mess this up."
"We belong to you- fully. Heart, soul and body. But we need you to belong to us before we go any further." Asher says, stroking my hair and smiling softly.
I swallow hard. The intense longing in their eyes gives credence to their words. They look at me like i'm something precious.
Something worthy of love. Like i'm their whole world.
I open my mouth to speak but nothing comes out.
"It's okay love. We understand that you need time." Anthony places a sweet kiss on my forehead.
"I'll try" I whisper as my eyes droop.
I'll try.

Aurore
I trudge to the gate slowly. The garou is only half conscious which means i have half his body weight on me. I managed to get out of the woods just as the guards began trooping in for their evening patrol.
"Aurore ! " Maman calls as she rushes out to me.
"I've been worried sick , what took you so-" Her eyes sharpen as she spots the half conscious man with his arm draped over my shoulders.
"Maman." I warn. She looks like she's about to start screaming the walls down.
"Oh, Aurore, what have you done?" She pushes open the gate so i can walk in behind her.
Maman has this uncanny ability- she can sense people's auras. She no doubt knows what he is already.
"I couldn't just leave him there Maman! He was bleeding out, he was going to die!"
"No matter." She mutters testily. "He's here now."
I pull him to our one room and lay him down on my cot. He groans and murmurs drowsily.
Maman searches through the cupboards, gathering ingredients.
She kneels in front of him and lifts the makeshift bandage I'd wrapped around him.
"You healed him didn't you?"
"Maman I-"
"Aurore! you know better than to use your powers in public. And to risk your life for a complete stranger at that!"
"Maman, he was going to-"
"Die, yes Aurore, you've said that! Would you rather have died in his place?"
A part of me knows she's right. It was foolish of me to do that in such a dangerous place.
But how can i explain the pull i feel to this mysterious stranger? The odd feeling that I've known him forever?
"Well. He's healing nicely. I have half a mind to throw him out just as he is." Maman mutters angrily.
Witches and werewolves have had an odd love-hate relationship for a long time. At least that's what I've heard considering I'd never so much as seen one till now.
Maman applies some herbs to his flesh and wraps it up with some fresh cloth.

ANITA
I take a deep breath and knock. Few seconds pass by then the door flings open.
"Annie!" Emma cries and flings herself into my arms.
"I'm so sorry, Em." I whisper.
She drags me into the apartment and slams the door behind her.
She smacks my arm as tears slowly roll down her face.
"I've been worried sick! Where the hell have you been?"
"I'm sorry." I say again.
She ushers me to the sofa and i take a seat.
"Tell me everything." She says firmly.
And i do.

MOON WALK PACK
DUNE
"Harder!" Shelenda screams as i increase my movements.
"Yeah? you sure you can take it babe?" I laugh.
"Yes yes yes..." she screams.
The sound of my ringtone pierces through the air. Who the fuck is calling me?
I ignore it at first but damn this person is consistent.
"Be right back baby, don't move a muscle." I pull on my underwear and grab my phone, heading into the bathroom i take the call.
"What?" I bark.
"Well hello to you too, Alpha." It's the bounty hunter.
I clear my throat.
"I've been staking out her house. And um, you're not gonna like what i found." He says.
I put my phone on speaker mode and set it down.
"Just spit it out already. I don't pay you to beat about the bush." I say impatiently.
"She's with the blood moon alphas."
I freeze.
"She's what?!" Shelenda screams.
When did she-
Fuck me.
