Chapter 20: Pieces of a puzzle
Dominic
"Logan!"
Liam had found him a few miles beyond our pack, struggling to walk. He had fought like a great warrior and returned to us in one piece.
He had gone to the infirmary first, and the doctor had examined him. It felt good, like we were complete now that he was here.
"Dom... we need to talk..."
"I know, strange things are happening. We need to find out about the humans and that town. I've already made a plan with Lionel. Our uncle is also talking to the council to find out. There are already rumors; other packs may know that we have a human mate," I told him, and he cursed.
"It's a weakness, brother... we really have to make the decision that's best, not only for us, but for the pack," he insisted. I put a hand on his shoulder; I was really glad to have him back.
"Right now we need her. She is the key to Kurt's recovery, and we will decide together," I told him, although the decision was clear to me: I wasn't going to stay away from her.
Suddenly I smelled a very familiar scent on him.
"You want to stay away from her, but... you took your chance with her, right?" I asked.
Her aroma, that soft cherry scent that lingered even after he showered.
"You smell like her, too. You couldn't control yourself. When? Did you touch her?" he asked, and I noticed the jealousy in his voice.
"If we all accepted her, there would be no jealousy; we could all be with her," I said, and he grumbled.
He sat on the couch and sighed, I sat on the bed next to Kurt, who was still unconscious.
"The ceremony where the wolves present their mates and the Alpha gives his blessing is approaching. It's an important moment, and we don't want to look like idiots," I said, but suddenly Maddie appeared at the door, she was nervous, and it was obvious that she wanted to leave.
"What do you mean, sleep with you...?" she was scared.
Oh, little mate...and we haven't even started.
"Our brother has shown some improvement, but we are one, Maddie, the three of us, and you too," I told her, and I saw her look at Logan with fear.
"Don't worry, human, we don't bite... not tonight at least," Logan said with a malicious voice.
"We just need you to stay near him. All our closeness will help his wolf feel safe,"
I gave her pajamas and she went into the bathroom, and I imagined how her body would look as she changed.
Logan acted like it was not a big deal, but I saw him nervously breathing heavily. He must be thinking the same thing: she is within our reach, undressing.
When she came out, she was wearing shorts and a t-shirt and the atmosphere was tense; she wasn't wearing a bra and I could see her curves under the clothes. A low growl spread through the room.
She placed herself nervously next to Kurt and I positioned myself behind her, leaving a small space. Reluctantly, Logan lay down on the other side of Kurt.
She didn't take her eyes off us while Logan and I took off our shirts, leaving us in sleeveless shirts and sweatpants.
"She's interested in us" my wolf purred.
From the other side, Logan looked at me as if this was all silly to him, although I knew he was worried about our brother, too.
I remember when we all used to sleep in the same room; it was common among twin and triplet wolves. We were raised as one, but Logan always had much more ambition, and when we were teenagers he demanded a separate room because he wanted to be the next Alpha.
I guess after that moment, we drifted apart, and I became a little closer to Kurt. But now we needed to be together, the three of us.
"She's hate us so much, she can't sleep," Logan told me through the mindlink. He wasn't supposed to care about her, but he didn't miss a thing Maddie did.
"Gradually she will be comforted, the bond will help her," I said, and for a moment we were silent, listening as she relaxed, and her breathing became calmer.
"She doesn't feel the bond," he replied.
"My wolf is sure she does, and the closer we get to her and the more we touch her, the bond will be complete."
"Yes, and it will be complete for us too, and we won't be able to stay away from her," he said.
We both turned around when we saw that she was already completely asleep and unconsciously put her hand on Kurt's chest. I smiled and Logan rolled his eyes.
"See? The bond. Why would we want to stay away from her?" I asked.
"Didn't you see what happened, Dom? Kurt screwed up, and now it's just a matter of time before all the wolves for miles around know that we have a weak mate. All they have to do is break her neck to take down the three dragons and Moonvalley."
"That won't happen, the Moon Goddess gave her to us as a mate for a reason..."
"To fuck us over," he said in my mind. Suddenly we heard a slight movement from Maddie and then sighs and what seemed to be subtle moans.
By the Goddess...
"Looks like someone is having wet dreams about three dragons taking over her little body," Logan said with a grin.
"You know it's only a matter of time before we start having them too," I said, although I had already started having confusing dreams where she was always present.
Logan finally seemed tired enough and fell asleep, and I just kept watching her.
In front of me was her back, her broad hips, and her not-so-bad ass. I pushed her hair aside and saw a few freckles on her back, the softness of her skin, her thighs and legs, her small, delicate feet.
She was a human, yes, one we used to hate, but... she was an absolute beauty. I moved a little closer and smelled her, and my wolf howled with happiness.
"Soon we will be able to touch her and hold her close. We will also tell her our secrets, and she will help us with everything we need. She is the missing piece of our puzzle; we must do whatever it takes to keep her close. The bond will strengthen little by little," Damiano, my wolf, insisted.
Maddie moved closer to Kurt, and I heard my brother exhale happily. I moved closer and pressed myself gently against her. How happy I feel to have her close to mine!
Maybe my wolf was right; the very qualities we hated in her were actually admirable and necessary for a Luna: she was brave, determined, stubborn, had her own opinion and didn't like to follow orders.
Just the thought of it made me smile.
She continued to moan softly, and after a while, before she fell asleep. I saw that even Logan had stretched out his arm and fallen asleep, touching one of her strands of hair.
Maybe this was our future, and frankly, it looked wonderful.
