••• Kyson’s POV •••
“Hear that, Kyson? She likes me better than you,” Night said happily as he skipped and rolled around in my head.
I snorted. “Show her this side of yours, and I’m sure she’ll prefer me to you.”
“Someone’s jealous,” Night said in a sing-songy voice.
“Why should I be jealous?” I scoffed as I walked toward the office,.
“Oh, puh-lease. You don't even want to share her with me, your own wolf.” Night rolled his eyes, and I ignored him.
“Admit it, Kyson. You want her too. You put her in the room next to you, that’s our mate’s room. You asked Beta Christine to prepare everything for her, and you pretended to make her into an Omega when there were only two rooms on this floor. You don't want to see her suffer,” Night pointed out everything correctly, which irked me.
“I don't want her,” I growled. How could I want the enemy’s daughter?
“Really? Then how come your cock got hard when you saw her?” Night snorted.
“Shut up!” I yelled at him, and this time he ignored me, but still skipped around happily.
“Stop acting like a freaking Alaskan Malamut!” Him skipping around gave me a headache.
I opened the door to the study and found Colton already inside.
“What’s gotten into you so early in the morning?” he asked cheerily.
“Night and that damn girl,” I grumbled.
He raised an eyebrow at me.
“I don't know why I got so affected by her,” I explained as I sat on my chair.
“Affected?” he asked.
“She was in heat last night. And now I feel like I‘m the one experiencing the darn heat.” I grumbled again.
My body had been hot ever since I helped her with her heat, and my cock kept getting hard.
Colton looked at me and the obvious bulge in my pants and laughed aloud until tears ran down his eyes.
“My friend, you are in a rut,” he said as he wiped his tears with the back of his hand.
A rut?
“You know what a rut is, don't you?“ he asked as he tried to stop himself from laughing further.
“I know what a rut is,” I snapped in irritation at him. A rut is equivalent to heat. An alpha would experience a rut when they were near their mates.
“Are you sure she’s not your mate?” he asked with twinkling eyes.
“No. Even if she is, I’ll reject her,” I said firmly.
“Reject her, and I’ll kill you,” Night growled.
“Kill me, and you kill yourself,” I snorted at him.
“You are the worst human I’ve ever been with.” He gave up and sulked in the corner.
“Reject? You want to reject your mate?” Colton asked in disbelief.
I kept quiet in a dilemma.
“So many werewolves are searching and waiting for their destined mates, and you want to reject your mate?” he asked, still in disbelief.
“Won't you reject your mate if she’s one of your enemies?” I asked.
“Nope. I will treasure her. She’s the one Moon Goddess has chosen for me. And Kyson, she might be your salvation even though she’s Andre’s daughter,” he said in all seriousness.
“Who warned me that she might be my damnation too last time?” I repeated the words he told me the last time we met.
“Last time I didn't know she was your mate,” he said, and I ignored his words, knowing it’d be useless to argue with him.
“What if your mate is a male? Won't you reject him?” I smirked.
The look on his price was priceless. “No, the Moon Goddess won't be that cruel to me,” he said as he kept shaking his head in refusal.
“But what if he’s male? He’s the one the Moon Goddess has chosen for you,” I kept throwing his words back at him.
“I won't reject my mate, ever!” he said firmly but with fear in his eyes. I laughed aloud this time.
Checking my watch, I saw that it was time for Alpha Lucas to arrive. Lucas was the Alpha of the Spirit Shadow Pack. He also knew the truth about werewolves and Lycans, and we'd be working together to bring Andre down.
“Ready to meet the Alpha of the Spirit Shadow Pack?” I asked Colton. No one had ever met Colton yet, and this was the first time he came to our pack and met another Alpha.
Just as I finished my sentence, I saw him sniff the air and freeze.
I heard hastened footsteps outside the door, followed by the sound of the door being slammed as someone entered.
“Mate!” Colton growled.
Did Lucas bring Beta Lin with him too? But isn't she mated?
My question was answered by a male voice, “Mate!”
I turned around and saw Lucas standing in the doorway, looking possessively at Colton.
I looked at Colton, back at Lucas, back at Colton, and burst into laughter.
“Colton, Lucas is your mate!” I couldn't control my laughter.
“I, Colton, Alpha of the Rouge Pack, reject you..” I saw Colton was going to reject Lucas, but the latter moved swiftly and shut his mouth by kissing him hard, and I burst into another fit of laughter.
“Try to reject me again,” Lucas growled.
“Didn't you say you won't reject your mate, ever?” I snickered at Colton.
“This is your fault, Kyson! You jinxed me!” Colton yelled as he pointed at me.
“Are you still going to reject me?” Lucas asked Colton lightly.
“I will..” Colton began saying, and Lucas swooped in to kiss him hard again.
“Are you STILL going to reject me?” Lucas asked with a warning growl, and Colton turned his head away with a flushed face.
Lucas’ lips curved into a smug triumphant smile as he sat down on the long sofa, and Colton surprisingly obediently sat next to Lucas as Lucas tugged him down to sit next to him.
I closed the door and smiled, looking at them sitting side-by-side. Lucas had a big muscular body, tanned skin, and dark eyes, while Colton was fair with blonde hair and blue eyes. Colton’s gonna be the bottom, I laughed at that thought.
“You see, Kyson. Even Colton is not going to reject his mate!” Night’s voice sounded in my head.
“She’s not our mate!” I snapped.
“We can make her our chosen mate,” Night whined, and my heart agreed for a split second before I brushed that thought away.
Ignoring him, I sat opposite the two lovebirds. Lucas now had one arm draped possessively around Colton’s shoulder, and Colton was leaning against Lucas. I smirked at Colton, and he glared at me.
“Okay, let us get down to business.” We all turned serious at my words.
“The scouts told me they are starting to make preparations,” Colton said as he straightened his body in his seat.
Lucas let him go but held his hand. “I agree with my mate. I visited them two days ago and saw Witch Rose training them. The training was..”
Lucas’s words were interrupted by knocking sounds on the door.
“Come in,” I said calmly.
The door opened, and Aleena came in with a tray filled with three cups of steaming hot coffee.
“Ohh,” her small melodious voice sounded as he looked at Lucas and Colton. She kept looking at them, and somehow the way she looked at them angered me. I let out a growl.
“Let me talk to her, or you’ll scare her away,” Night said as he tried to take over, and I let him, knowing that he was right.
“Little one, we are also here,” Night said smoothly as he rose to our full height and walked toward her with a swagger.
“Stop swaggering!” I scoffed at Night.
Aleena turned her gaze toward us and looked at us shyly. “Oh, hi, Night.”
I scowled. She never looked at me in that way!
“That’s because you’re a dick,” Night said smugly, and I scowled at him.
“I brought coffee for you guys,” she said with a shy smile and placed the tray on the table in front of us.
“Thank you, Love,” Night said as he acted in a gentlemanly manner, raising her hand to kiss the back of her hand just like before.
I pushed Night away and regain control of my body. The touch of her knuckle against my lips sent tingles all over my body, and I nearly moaned out loud as my body heat up again. Fuck!
“We are dealing with important issues here, you should go and clean the rooms on the third floor,” I tried to keep my soft gentle, but ended up with what sounded like a lustful growl.
She looked at me warily and said, “Okay, Alpha Kyson,” before leaving the room.
I felt like pinning her to the wall and smashing her lips with mine to punish her for the way she acted so defensively toward me.
“It’s your fault. Who asked you to hate her?” Night snorted at me.
“Andre’s daughter is your.. mate?” I heard Lucas ask in surprise.
I turned my gaze to him and replied nonchalantly, “She’s not my mate.”
“Tell that to your cock,” Colton said and snickered.
I adjusted my pants. My cock was hard, again.
“He’s in a rut, huh?” Lucas asked Colton.
“He denied it, but the evidence is in his pants,” Colton smirked.
“She’s the lavender girl,” I said seriously.
“She is? But she’s so.. small,” Lucas voiced out my doubt.
I shrugged as if it wasn't a problem whether she was small or weak.
“You were saying?” I turned our attention back to the discussion topic.
“Ah, yes.. Witch Rose was training them with magic. I think she put defensive spells on each of them,” Lucas informed us, and a heavy silence ensued among us.
If she use defensive spells, it would be hard for us to win..
“Can Witch Lily help with our attacks?” Colton asked, breaking the silence.
“I’ll have to ask her about this.” I doubted it since their pack members' numbers combined with another two packs were greater than ours. Witch Lily alone might not be able to help us much.
“And Kyson, I think you need to train your mate. She’s too small and weak. You won't want her to be injured during the war,” Lucas pointed out.
“He needs to fuck her first. He’s obviously in a rut. He’s been fidgeting in his seat since we came,” Colton snickered at me.
I rose from my seat and went to open the door. “Keep watch over their activities. We’ll talk the next time we meet,” I told them in what was obviously a gesture of throwing them away.
“Until next time, Kyson,” Lucas stood up, followed by Colton.
I nodded. “Alpha Lucas. Luna Colton,” I smirked at him, and he was pulled away by Lucas before he could do anything.
“We should talk to Witch Lily,” I said to Night.
“We should fuck Aleena first,” Night replied.
I rolled my eyes. “Stop being dirty-minded.”
“You want to keep feeling uncomfortable?” Night snorted.
“I can have a cold shower or use my hand for now,” I retorted.
I walked toward my bedroom, intending to have another cold shower, before finding Witch Lily when I found Aleena in my room.
She was bent down at the foot of my bed with one knee perched on my bed. Her short skirt hiked up even more, showing her slender and fair legs. One more inch, and I’d be able to see her underwear.
“Fuck her, Kyson!” Night, as usual, encouraged me to fuck her.
The heat in my body turned scorching hot, making me let out a growl..
