Chapter 96: Planting the seed of doubt
Dominic
"What the hell are you doing here?" my brother demands, completely irritated in what used to be our room, which this woman has turned into a horrible place.
"I'm here on her orders, Logan," I say, pointing at Irina.
"That's a lie!" Logan growls.
I was exhausted and honestly wanted to hit him, but I had a plan and I had to play it well if I wanted to escape from here and help our mate. What I said wasn't a lie; Irina had actually asked me to interrupt them at this very moment.
She had placed me in a room next to this one, of course, keeping me under constant surveillance, everything perfectly organized and orchestrated. I realized that she always had a plan, that she never did anything without thinking it through and planning it several times. And we had fallen for it like fools - me by letting her attend the ceremony and help, and my brother by believing the promises of this ambitious woman.
Irina wanted me to support my brother and her, and although she hadn't said it outright, it was obvious that she wanted to be the mate of all three of us. From her point of view, it made sense: triplets were not common; the Three Dragons would be the most powerful wolves in this region and in many packs.
Our position as three brothers was something many envied, and perhaps that was the root of many of our problems and our many enemies: they wanted to destroy the three of us, to end our power.
We hadn't even shown our full strength yet, and I knew that would happen when we finally marked our mate, presented her as the only Luna, and became an even more powerful force of four.
Irina would do anything to take that place. But my brother was stupid and naive enough to think that she would settle for him. He had no idea what this woman was capable of, although perhaps he had a small clue now.
"What I'm saying is true, isn't it, Irina?"
"It can't be true! Tell me it's not true!" Logan shouted, and it was true what they say - there's no worse blind man than the one who refuses to see. The proof was right there on the bed: Irina, completely naked, in a most indecent position, waiting to be fucked.
"Really, even with all that, doesn't he see?" My wolf, which had begun to resurface, growls, still weak. She arched her back even more, showing her swollen and wet pussy: obviously she wanted me to see it.
"I'm so sorry, my Logan. I agreed with Dominic that we would all talk together, and it seems he's arrived early," she says as if nothing is wrong, getting up from the bed and approaching us, swaying her hips to make her breasts bounce.
I don't know if my brother is more upset that I interrupted the moment, that she is naked in front of another man with the clear intention of having sex, or that he finally saw me after the ceremony.
"I'd say it's a mixture of all three," my wolf growls.
"Why did you invite him to talk? What the hell is my brother doing here, Irina?" Now he looks at her angrily. "And also, put something on!" he demands, taking off his shirt and handing it to her. Irina puts it on, looking like a victim, very slowly, keeping her legs apart and not covering her breasts completely.
Does she really think I'm going to watch her and desire her? Does she not understand how mating works? Or is she completely crazy? Every wolf knows that once you have found your mate, no one else exists for you.
"This is just a mistake, Logan, I promise you..."
"She told me we need to talk," I tell Logan, wishing the mental link would work, but the wolfsbane works like that, weakening us. My wolf, who had started to reappear, was just annoyed that we had another naked woman in front of us, seducing us, and she wasn't Maddie.
"Stop this nonsense, Dominic. You left me, and now you show up in the room I share with my woman while she's naked?" he replies. Irina grabs his arm, and he shakes her off with a slap.
"I didn't leave you, I was taken away," I reply tiredly, and it's obvious he doesn't believe me.
"Logan, let me explain!" Irina cries.
"I want to talk to my brother alone," he growls.
"But, my Logan, there should be no secrets between us. I'll be your Luna," she whines, and I swear her voice is getting more and more despicable.
"You will do as I say, Irina. Stay here and put some more clothes on, for the Goddess' sake!" he orders, grabbing my arm and dragging me out of the room.
"Spit it out," he whispers to me outside as we walk to a corner where no one can hear us.
"She planned all of this, Logan, and she had Kurt and me imprisoned in the dungeons," I say, and his eyes widen.
"What are you saying? First you and that other fool leave me, and now you say it's her fault..."
"It is! Our uncle is involved, as well!. They want to defeat us, separate us, destroy us, and they will succeed if you don't give up your ambition," I yell at him.
"You're talking nonsense!"
"Then why didn't they tell you about Kurt and me? You knew we didn't run away and they didn't come looking for us," I answer, and he hesitates.
"Our uncle said you were deciding whether to support me, and..."
"You know that's not true! You know we would never leave our mate just like that!" I yell and he falls silent. "Irina's got half the pack under her control, I don't know how. She has plans for our uncle, maybe even Vera, Rowan... and who knows who else! This reek of the Night Wolves," I exclaim, waving my arms.
"You're being completely paranoid, Dominic. You just don't want me to win; your ego won't let you admit that I'm right!" he snaps.
"Is that really what you think? You know what?... maybe I have a big Alpha ego; maybe I don't want to see you as the only Alpha. But there's one thing I won't do, and you can be sure of that: I won't leave our mate in danger, and every moment that passes, she could lose her life," I say, pointing at his chest, and I can see the doubt in his eyes.
"That's a lie, she's in the ritual and..."
"Irina won't be satisfied with just you, she doesn't want all three of us. You'll never be the only Alpha, or at least you won't have just one mate, I mean… she was just there expected to be fucked by us! And if you don't believe me, prove it yourself: follow the steps of your supposed chosen mate, look at Kurt´s situation... and you'll see that I'm right," I say through gritted teeth.
