Chapter 13: I must do something
Dominic
The white dress was completely provocative, her movements subtle but sensual. I had never been so captivated by a single creature.
I wanted to touch her legs again, her skin. I wanted to feel her breath close to me, her scent.
"Dominic... my mate," she says, caressing my neck.
I felt her lips kissing my shoulder, sucking on that small spot that was so sensitive to us. My hand went under her skirt, almost reaching her panties. Goddess… I want to strip her close, have her bare in front of me. My wolf was purring when she hands were on me.
"Madeleine... Maddie..." the images mingled with those of her laughing with her friends at school, doing acrobatics in the gym.
Then, when she looked at me, she bit her lip...and suddenly she was crying on the floor, looking at me in horror, her knee bleeding.
I jumped up, waking up sweating and completely turned on.
"Damn it!"
This had escalated too fast. She hated us, and suddenly we were all dancing together. She had invaded my dreams and it felt so real.
We couldn't even look at her, and now I was dreaming of her... goddess, dreaming of having her close to me. I got up and approached her room and found Kurt pacing outside.
Something told me he was having the same wet dreams.
"What were we thinking? We aren't accepted her totally, but we touched her, desire her..."
"I don't think we were thinking," Kurt told me.
It was the second time I'd dreamed about her, but after the party... she barely spoke to us, didn't want to see us, had shut herself off.
"We went from one step forward to several steps back."
"She's really driving us crazy..." I sigh.
"I told you! I told you the human would play with us like we were her toys, and here you have the reality of things," Logan said, of course coming to mark his territory and act like the all-knowing Alpha.
"Shut up, Logan!" Kurt and I yelled in unison.
"You're the one who pushed her to the ground" my brother said, and he was right.
We had already been acting like idiots with her, and this was the icing on the cake.
"She's scared of us," my wolf cried. I had seen her look of horror; she had hurt herself.
"You're not going to blame this on me, are you?" Logan said, looking nervous, though he tried to hide it. He must have felt bad seeing her fall, too. After all, she was our mate.
"I can't do this anymore," Kurt said, walking down the hall.
"Where are you going?" Logan asked.
"We have to solve this, and I can't just sit here with my arms crossed..." Kurt one replied.
"Kurt, relax. She'll trust us again," I told him, but I wasn't so sure myself.
Our bond was unstable; she hated us, we didn't accept her. She was afraid and we were lost.
And in the middle, the desire, the madness, the longing.
I grabbed his arm, but he shook me off.
"Don't you understand? We're discussing whether to reject her or not, when she really doesn't want us, and the bond doesn't work on her because she's a human! And do you know what's going to happen?" he said, looking at us scandalized.
Logan and I didn't respond.
"Time will pass, and she will distance herself from us, and we cannot force her. Our uncle will demand that we present her to the pack, and we'll look like the foolish triplets rejected by a human mate," he explained.
As horrible as it sounded, it made sense. I could see even Logan imagining this embarrassing moment and worrying. He maybe doesn't care about Maddie, maybe he can control his wolf. But his image was everything for him.
An alpha rejected by a human. I can already hear the gossip. We would be the weakest alphas. Our pack will be doomed.
"Come on, Kurt... if we need her... I'm sure we can handle a human, we can charm her. We are three of the best alphas, and she will be with us whether she wants or not," my older brother said.
“I don't know man… don't think so…” I say.
"Then we have to show her that we really are the best alphas..." Kurt adds, and we followed him as he walked out of the pack.
"Where the hell are you going?"
"I'm going to look for the Night Wolves... we need to find out what happened that night."
"Damn it, Kurt! Our uncle is tired of telling us not to mess with them!"
"Well, they messed with our mate and should pay dearly, not be happy to live their lives as if nothing happened," Kurt yells convincingly.
"Come on Kurt, Dominic is right. We're going to cause more trouble!" Logan explained.
"Stay if you're so cowardly. I will show our mate that I will give everything for her, that I will avenge those who have mistreated her. I won't sit here with folded arms and wait for her to accept me out of nowhere," Kurt said, transforming into his wolf.
"He really seems convinced," I said to Logan, and we both sighed, changed into our wolves and started to follow him.
"What's the plan?" I asked.
"Robin said he heard that the man who hit our buddy was named Walter...that's what the twins said."
"Good, then we have a reason to attack and a suspect," I said through the mind link.
We hadn't told anyone where we were going or what we were expecting, and I thought to myself that my mate would be happy to be away from us, and the idea made me sad.
We went through the forest and the rivers, and I couldn't stop thinking that we should have done this before. Avenging our mate was the most logical thing to do.
Maybe my brother was right, and we needed to prove that we were the best Alphas and that we hadn't done it right.
We were about to check the border of the enemy territory when we caught a familiar scent; it was them.
"Looks like it's our lucky day," Logan said as we followed the scent and found a human village.
"They definitely shouldn't be here. If the Wolf Council questioned us, we could say that we suspected they were attacking humans" I say.
We were surprised to see that they seemed to be negotiating with the humans, which made everything even stranger. It was some kind of warehouse, and we hid behind some containers.
"Quiet," Logan said as we saw the enemy wolves taking boxes and crates out of a part of the village with the help of the humans.
"What the hell?"
"There he is," Kurt said, and I could see the bastard who had hit our mate. And while our impulsive plan seemed to have worked, that didn't mean we were out of trouble.
We had been very stealthy, but suddenly some lights went on, and we heard men's footsteps.
"Intruders!"
"Who's there?"
"They're watching us!" some men shouted, and I was amazed to see what looked like surveillance cameras. This wasn't something the wolves used.
They were humans; they had us surrounded, and with them... wolves.
"Attack!" they shouted, charging at us.
