Jonah calls, making me laugh, and I look at the bathroom door over my shoulder. Kyan chuckles, and I turn backt o him, his eyes all bloodshot, tear tracks bleed down his cheeks. I wipe them away, and he smiles sadly, looking at the ceiling as if he was embarrassed to be caught looking so vulnerable.
“I don’t deserve you or Jonah,” Kyan breathes out, pressing his forehead against mine “Says you,” I tell him, running my fingers through his hair before grabbing a handful and jerking his head to the side and sinking my teeth into his neck.
His blood spilled into my mouth and coated m y tongue. His emotions flooded into me as the bond stretched and merged with Jonah’s, expanding and making room for him, too. How it should have been all along.
His regret and guilt, shock, and sadness mixed with happiness all bleed into me at once. Kyan clutches me closer; his grip is tight, like he thought I would disappear at any moment.
I pull my teeth from his neck before running my tongue over it and sealing the mark. I vaguely heard the bathroom door open when I marked him before feeling the bed dip behind him; Looking up to see
Jonah with a towel around his waist
. He climbed on the bed behind Kyan. His hair was still wet as he crawled over to Kyan as Kyan dropped his head against my chest. a Jonah leans over, kissing my lips softly over Kyan’s shoulder before settling behind Kyan, his legs going either side of Kyan’s. Jonah pulled his lips from mine and sank his teeth into Kyan’s neck over my mark.
Kyan jumps when Jonah’s teeth pierce his skin before pulling them out and sealing it with his saliva as he runs his tongue over it, and Kyan shivers at the sensation. “Welcome home,” Jonah tells him before wrapping his arms around us both and squashing Kyan between us. I feel their bond snap into place and the warmth coming from within Kyan when Kaif presses forward.
And Kyan indeed felt like he was home or at least had one for the first time in ages like he finally belonged somewhere and that place was with us. I felt his body ripple against mine and his eyes flickered to the darkness that was Kaif. “Just so we are all clear, no donutting. I will not be touching your donut, and you will die before you ever touch mine. Are we clear? We are mates, just not those sorts of mates.
We are, what is the term¡ friends but with NO benefits,” Kaif says, making me snort as Jonah climbs off the bed to dry himself. “Wow, you have a way with words,” I laughed. “Thank you, love; I have no issue touching your donut, though,” Kaif says, and I pull a face at him. poole “Yeah, not happening,” I mutter. “That’s what she thinks,” Jonah chuckles, and Kaif laughs while I raise an eyebrow at Jonah.
I feel Kyan return as his hands trail up my side, peeling my shirt off before tugging it off over my head.
The feel of his warm hand traveling over my skin to the side of my breast makes m e shiver. The sparks
I missed return, making my nipples harden. Kyan pulls m e closer, lifting me higher, his lips wrapping around the hard bud as he flicks it with his tongue.
I sigh, gripping his hair, enjoying the warmth of his touch and the feel of his hot mouth on my body when I feel hands grab my hair and tug my head back before Jonah’s lips mold around mine, his tongue invades m y mouth playing with mine. Their touch lit a fire under my skin as sparks rushed everywhere. Kyan’s lips move higher, and Jonah lets me go, leaving me breathless as Kyan runs his tongue over Jonah’s mark on my neck.
The sensation makes me moan before he kisses the spot, and I feel his lips part, his canines raking over it. My eyes fall, closing when he sinks them into my flesh. Sparks raced over me everywhere, and goosebumps rose on my skin, my toes curling, and I gasped as pleasure coursed through me.
That feeling was followed by weightlessness as it crashes into me, and I blink as he pulls his teeth from my neck, , blinking up at the ceiling as the room starts to grow darker. My body felt like it was liquifying, and Kyan’s fingers gripped the back of my neck as I had no control over it as it lulled to the side.
He turns my face toward his. His tongue traced the seam of my lips before he pecks them. “I love you,
Ella,” he whispers softly against my lips before kissing me tenderly. I blink at him to see him smile softly as darkness steals my vision.
Weightlessness consumed me, the oblivion fading when I was suddenly somewhere else. A place I had never seen before, in a time that no longer existed. A woman stood next to a huge square stone, a man on the other side, his resemblance to Kyan and all Octavian men was uncanny Witches circled around chanting, their hands in the air as storm clouds swirled above. Their clothes and dresses told me this was a period of time that existed centuries ago.
“Once this done, it cannot be undone, Kaif,” The woman says. He peers over his shoulder at the young woman who stood off to the side but within arms reach of Kaif, she had the same regal air to her as the woman who held out her hand to Kaif, a dagger was in her hand, the same blade I saw upstairs yet no gemstone was in its hilt.
“It’s the only way Celeste; I will not lose her,” Kaif tells the woman, her dark flowing curls picked up in the wind, blowing behind her like a dark veil.
“Very well. Luna, come forward, dear,” Celeste called to her daughter. Kaif smiled tenderly at her, though I could see the dangerous glint in his eyes, A glint that told me he was no longer human. Kaif was Lycan, a beast. Looking around the vast village, I noticed the Lycans chained down, caged, yet here Kaif stood in control, and by the look on his face as he stared down at his future mate, she was the one that helped him keep that control. This was the seance to bind them. Celeste cut both their palms before drawing the blood into the stone.
She murmurs a few words, their blood mingling together before catching fire and turning to tar before she raises her hand, drawing the tar-like substance off the rock and into the air. The torches stabbed into the ground flared high into the sky while the tar-like blood drops dropped back into a goblet Celeste held in her hands. I watched as Kaif and Luna drank from the goblet; it appeared to be some ceremony.
“Correct,” Dominic’s voice says, answering my thoughts before he materialized beside me.
“This was the first pairing; she tied their souls. Now watch,” Dominic says, and I turn my gaze back to the memory playing out in front of me. Kaif drinks from the goblet and heaves in a breath, his eyes flickering black before he roars, suddenly shifting, and out came the beast.
Celeste jumps back away from him and tries to tug her daughter away, who just stared, Kaifs breathing ragged, and he truly was the monster they portrayed him to be. Luna, however, held no fear despite her mother trying to pull her back. Instead, she reached her hand up and cupped his giant furry face, her hand running down his neck to stop as it fell over his heart.
“Right here, this where you are,” Luna murmurs to him. His trembling stops, his breathing slows, and finally, he begins to shift back; it was so weird seeing a Kyan’s look-alike in a time period that ended eons ago. Back to himself, he grabbed luna around the waist and sank his teeth into her neck. She clutched his arms, her back arched as he marked her before she passed out. “Mine, forever mine,” Kaif murmured as he scooped her up.
“That was our first mistake, taking a god’s daughter for a mate,” Dominic said as my surroundings swirled and faded before it was sometime later.

Luna held a baby boy in her arms. She sat in a rocking chair, her son suckling at her breast o n the porch of their home. It was a clear day as I stared at the vast homestead. Kaif, I could see, was in the fields sowing seeds by hand, working the land while Luna watched.
I watched Kaif, and it wasn’t until I heard Luna’s scream for him did I turn back to the house. A man appeared out of nowhere. He stood on the step. I found him imposing, he commanded attention, and the vibe he gave off sent a chill up my spine.
“Father,” Luna gasped. Clutching her boy in her arms.
“Your mother was a fool for thinking she could hide you from me,” Hades said, walking up the steps slowly, his steps calculated and his eyes falling on the child in her arms. Hades sneered.
“You disrespect me so, to breed with the mutts your mother created,” Hades said. Luna backed up, and
I heard Kaif’s roar behind me, but he was too far away. Hades tried to grab his daughter, but she was helpless with her arms full with her son. She could only run, which is what she did.
“Kaif!” Luna screamed, the sound so petrified it hurt my heart and made it clench as she ran from the man who she called father only for him to materialize in front of her. Her feet faltered as she stood on her dress and tripped, pivoting just in time before she landed on her baby. Her screams for her mother, for Kaif, were pointless as Hades advanced. Her cries for him to let her go fell on deaf ears.
“She has brainwashed you against me,’ Hades’ roared, gripping her arm, trying to rip the baby from her arms. “You’re not keeping that mutt,” he snarled at her, his hands yanking at the baby’s blanket. Kaif raced toward them, screaming for his mate and son while Luna struggled to protect her son from her father. Kaif’s feet creaked on the wooden floors of the porch when Luna screamed. My heart lurched in my chest when magic fizzled in Hades’ hands aimed straight for the baby in her arms.
Luna screamed, and Kaif roared as Hades went to deliver a lethal blow to their son. Luna did the only thing she could. She threw him. Kaif’s feet faltered as his eyes followed his son, wrapped in his white crocheted blanket, tossed in the air.
“I’ll come back for you both,” Luna screamed just as Kaif caught the bundle in his arms only t o look up to see Luna slam her hands into her father’s chest, her own magic slamming into him, and Hades gripped her arms and snarled before they vanished into thin air. Kaif wailed, shifting back into his human form. His son tucked in his arms as he unraveled him, checking on him.
His shoulders dropped with relief as his son let out a scream. Moments later, Celeste appeared frantic looking for her daughter as she ran across the field. She stopped on the steps, and her eyes went to
Kaif, who was on his knees. “I’m too late,” she sobs, stumbling over to him. Her hands are on his shoulders as she peers over him to look at her grandson.
“I’ll fucking kill him. I FUCKING KILL HIM!” Kaif roared.
“Vengence does nobody any good,” Dominic says, appearing beside me. The memory speeds along, and suddenly it is night. The magic in the air was electrifying, and the sky was now dark. I gasped when I realized we were at the ruins. This property was Kyan’s, the thick forest surrounding it was dark.
Giant flaming torches sent clouds of black smoke into the night sky.
“We call on our ancestors, to Kill a god I must make you one,” Celeste tells him.
“It’s the ruins,” I tell Dominic, who had been wandering with me through the memories, remaining silent but here.
“Yes, our second mistake, thinking we could kill a god and get away with it,” Dominic murmured.
Celeste produces two identical daggers, two huge rubies. The cauldron that sat in the middle bubbled as she tossed them in. Celeste cuts her palm, bleeding into the pot before cutting Kaifs.
“To give life, we must take it,” Celeste says.
