Adam has been pacing back and forth sometimes just looking into space. Clenching his fists and then opening them… We talk about everything…. or so I thought. I can feel that he's keeping something from me. The way he looks at Lucian and Scott these days has me worried. He's always looked at Scott with weariness in his eyes since the night that his brother decided to take him. Although I don't know why. He is Lucian's, first permanent mate. Until he conceives my child though he's been prohibited from having sexual intercourse with him. I know that he loves me insanely as I do him, but it can't be denied that when it comes to his first mate, he will spill blood for him.
I'm tired of the bullshit so I ask him while we're sitting in our room watching a movie.
"What's with you?" I look him dead in the eyes chewing some popcorn.
"I don't know what you mean." He shrugs nonchalantly not looking at me.
"You do know what I mean. You've been a real bitch lately since Lu's been giving it to that human."
He lets out a deep sigh like he's annoyed by me.
I move the popcorn to the table, scoot closer to him, and grab him by the chin forcing him to look at me.
"Adam…what's your deal? Every already knew that Scott had the biggest crush on him, hell...We even joke about it!" I can feel the heat starting to jump off him so I get my emotions under control and watch him intently. I let go of his chin and place his hands in mine.
Looking into his eyes I can tell that he is about to break...
With trembling lips, he says, "He hated humans! For centuries…he has never once liked them. He thought of them as pests that should be wiped from existence. …. And…. now…he takes one as his lover! Tell me…should I be happy for them?!"
There is a pained look in his eyes and the water starts to flow from them.
"Do you even know what he did the other day?!" His eyes tremble with his voice and lips as he continues to speak, "He…took the fur from his wolf off his back and gave it to that son-of-a-bitch so they would never be apart even when they are great distances from each other. Can…you believe that!"
He breaks down into full-on sobs and I bring him into the crook of my neck letting him get it all out. I coo in his ear while patting his head. I wrap my arms around him and we just sit there. The movie is playing, but all I hear right now are his sobs. My neck and the front of my t-shirt are getting soaked from his tears.
Feeling the wetness drip down my neck, …now it all makes sense. He's not jealous, he's upset that his brother, his twin, gave a piece of his wolf's fur to a human.
****
I wasn't ready for this…I've wanted to meet him in person for a long time now, but not that the time has come…I'm not sure if I can handle it yet.
Sitting in Lu's study talking about this puts me somewhat at ease, but I still feel myself twitch a little.
"He's been wanting to meet you." Lu says.
"It's okay if you don't want to yet."
"No….No…I want to. I'm ready."
"Then tonight. You will meet." He says.
I nod my head squeezing my knees. I look over at Patheos and start to feel more at ease. I smile trying to relax a bit more.
"Damarcio."
"Mother."
"How are you feeling? You look a bit pale."
"Heheh…I'm fine, mother. Just thinking about the progress of Christian and Alexander at the mansion over there."
"Don't worry about it, I'm sure that they have everything under control."
I nod passively and continue towards our room. I will have more time to myself inside of the Manor in our room. He doesn't allow Sofia to enter here at all. I lay back on the couch with my head towards the ceiling inhaling and exhaling slowly with my arm on over my eyes.
Then I start to feel a small gust of wind hit my hand. Where is that coming from? The doors and windows were closed when I came in.
I remove my arm and open my eyes. I almost jump out of my skin! The crystal-like eyes staring down at me makes my heart race. And a broad smile that starts to form reminds me of the face that I've seen in their memories countless times. This is the same face that stared back at Lucian when he was created. I part my lips a little and exhale.
"Martheos…"
Ahh…the way that my name rolls off his lips makes my skin shiver. I close my eyes for a short moment exhaling and inhaling again. I open them to see him kneeling in front of me. I lower my head to meet his gaze again.
"I like that name. Tell me." He places both elbows on his knees crouching in a way that reminds me of Alexa. "You're not like your father are you?"
I just look at him for a few minutes. I actually had to think about this. Before I finally decided to answer he says, "No. I don't think you are, Martheos. Hmph!"
He stands and before I could even blink, his face only a few centimeters from mine. His eyes seem to change color, like trillions of stars in a small galaxy. Still amazingly blue… "I will return tonight. Prepare yourself." His sharp fangs peering behind his beautiful grin are the last things that I see before he walks away and steps out onto the balcony.
Oh, so that's where he's been. I never expected that he was one of their wolves.
I walk around the Manor in an attempt to find one of them. I'm surprised to find them in the communal bath. I must've startled them because they both look at me like they've just seen a human.
I rush to close the doors and put up a silence shield. "Hah!...I…he told me to prepare myself." I walk to the other to get closer to them. "Prepare myself for what? And I thought…that we were meeting him tonight not now!"
"Um…"
"You already meet him? In-person?" Lu looks to be out of space right now.
"Not even 2 minutes ago. He came to our room. …...And he's one of your wolves too?"
"Heh…yea he is." The water splashes as he lifts his hand to scratch his head.
Lu gets out of the tub first. I hand him a towel behind me on one of the bench seats. I grab one for Patheos as he exits the tub behind him.
I turn thinking that we are leaving to a more secure place but Lu sits down behind me.
"We're going to talk here?"
"Just a start." He runs his hand through his locks and looks up at me.
I sit next to him while Patheos remains standing.
"It sounds like…." His eyes dart towards him for a second then back to me, "…. You will be his third permanent mate."
"What?!"
My voice definitely got caught in my throat because it starts to feel sore and I'm having trouble swallowing. Out of nowhere, a hard pat hit my back. I look around the room in a daze not hearing their voices anymore.
"Maybe we should take this back to the mansion?"
"Yea, we have to have them set up anyway."
So I must've fainted or something because when I open my eyes we are in our bedroom in Basque Country. The smell of the leaves coming from the open window catches my attention first. When I move to get up, I hear a jingling sound. Looking down I see that I've already been dressed for the ceremony. I feel the smooth chains across my face. I get up and go to the tall mirror on the other side of the room.
I almost don't recognize myself! Somehow, I'm in my natural form with a face chain that I've only seen Patheos wear when he was officially paired in front of the Serene One and the Silent One. The dress is different though instead of the sea line blue, it's a gold-tone shimmering off my crimson-like skin. I feel the dress and jewelry adorning my body. I…wasn't dressed this way when I paired with Patheos or Lucian. It was simple. The bracelet around my waist is like one that a belly dancer wears. Actually, all of the bracelets are from my arms to my ankles. The dress is sheer flowing past my feet and trailing behind me with the veil hanging in the back. The long sleeves and long v-neck seem almost nonexistent even with the black embroidery.
After I fully take it all in, I suddenly start to feel something stretching my insides. I was so enthralled with what I'm wearing that the slight stretch and throbbing didn't take until now! Argh…..what the fuck is this?!
"Argh….ahhh!"
"It's just a small toy to get you ready."
I feel the tears hit my chin as I reach behind me. Lifting my tail I see that it's in there too!
"Trust me Martheos…" He walks slowly up to me with his hand outstretched, "…You be so grateful that we did this."
My breathing hitches as I think back over what I've learned from the two of them. My eyelids pull tightly together. I replay it for the rest of the day while listening to the two of them going over small details with me.
"Just practice this routine and you will be fine." Lu says, still moving his hips in a slow winding manner.
"I know that it hurts but you must keep them in until a few minutes before the ceremony. The fluid movements of the dance will make you feel better."
"I think …you…will be happy…" He attempts to put on a smile.
I smile back, squeezing thumbs together, "I…know I will." I look up at the two of them. Patheos removes the stretchers from me and I start to relax again.
The air feels so light here. I don't know what it is…but I'm very comfortable and feel like I'm walking through space as I descend the stairs.
The décor is reminiscent of the pairing ceremony that he and Patheos had. I think that he likes the teal color with hues of red, blue, and gold. I'm left breathless in his presence again. The teal with dashes of white in his Zathira formal robe fit him perfectly and the crown offsets the entire outfit.
When I reach the middle of the oblong archway, he takes my tail in his hand and I do the same.
"Vastava Martih Zarit gladly accepts Martheos Vin Zarit as my Third Permanent Mate for infinity."
"Martheos Vin Zarit gladly accepts Vastava Martih Zarit as my Xinkar for infinity."
Patheos and Lucian step beside us and display the rings inside of the velvet blanketed boxes that Emmanuel handed them. Vastava is handed a ring by Lucian and I the ring by Patheos.
As one person they say, "We accept your Third Mate as our Mate."
I turn and wait for him to place the ring on the base of my tail. When he turns around, I do the same. The four of us grab each other's tails in stand in a Quadracube. This is like what humans call a hypercube.
"The four are now joined as mates. From now until linaiakr." Emmanuel says.
Vastava wraps my tail around his then the four of us walk back upstairs.
I feel different watching the three of them strip. My hands tremble as I remove my dress and slowly move towards them on the bed. Vastava takes me swiftly under him. Looking into his eyes a wave of undaunted lust crashes over me. He glides his hand underneath the face chains, bending down inching closer to me. I stop breathing, listening to the breathing around me. His lips feel like warm silk pushing against me. The chains are lifted higher until they are over my head and taken away by Lucian. I melt into his embrace until I feel it. Are the stretchers being put back?....No…no…this feels….like flesh….stretching and pushing inside of me. Is that both of his tails!....inside the same hole?! I try to hold back but the sounds echoes from me like I'm on top of a mountain!
"Aaaaaaaahhhhh…..!"
"It will only hurt for a moment Martheos." I hear him whisper to me in my ear.
He and Lucian start caressing my sides working towards my back. Vastava is unfazed by my screams and is just pushing deeper into my cavern with his long thick tails. The slow movements send shivers through my body. My breathing slows as the blood and veins inside me began to vibrate from the intensity of his every touch and motion. I hum unknowingly in his mouth and his chuckle reverberates through me. I have no idea when it happened…but when I open my eyes I'm on top of him, riding him like my life depends on it! He's kissing Lucian and now switches to Patheos….the two of them lean in to kiss each other. Hands are all over the place.
Even though both of his tails are inside my tight primrose under my tail I can't help but to ride him faster and go deeper. My body begging for them to rub those two little spots on either side of my cave and each time that they do the thick cream just flows out of me without restriction!
The next I open my eyes the light from the sun peeks through the thick curtains of the balcony. The sheer ones on the canopy seem to blow without wind. I don't even try to move. The soreness is clear. The hardness under my face makes a smile appear as I listen to the steady heartbeat and rhythm of his breathing.
"Mmm….hhh…"
"Ahhhh….sssmmm…mmmm…."
I didn't realize until now that they were still in the midst of heated passionate sex next to us. I turn to gaze at them. I smile again, blinking my eyes as I lay on his chest and doze off again…being put back to sleep by their soft, melodious moans.
