Chapter 7: Friends

(s****l Content)

Drax

I called Michael, he was my go-to when I needed to talk privately about certain matters, I loved my brothers and would always be there for them, but I needed to talk with Michael about this. I opened a portal to his penthouse and he was in the home gym working out and I admired his body, I won't lie, Michael was a sexy dude and his dominant aura always had the ladies going after him. He mind-linked me, "Stop staring, lapdog, and tell me, what's up," I smiled, "Okay, fairy, let's talk." I started by telling him about my visit to kill Ryker and how bad it went or maybe it went well because I found out about my sons'. For the first time since coming back, I was nervous, I wanted him dead, he betrayed me and mated my former wife but the bond was still there, I tried rejecting him but the bond got stronger. I just ignored it now, Michael laughed and said, "Drax, you love Ryker, you know the truth, he was forced to betray you, why do you fight it?" I said, "I love Emerie," and Michael turned away, I felt his aura get stronger before he calmed it again and I said, "Is something wrong, Michael?"

Michael said, "Nope, I've been going through some stuff but nothing I can't handle," he hugged me saying, "See you at the wedding, later," and he smiled. That was my queue to leave, something was wrong with Michael and I knew he would tell me when he was ready. I reached back at the pack house and my mates were getting dressed to go to the wedding, my sons wanted to come along so we headed out to Fogger Forest pack together. The car ride with Ryker was silent but Lora held my hand and I felt the sparks, I still was confused and had conflicted feelings, did my hatred let me ignore my bond with them?" I reached the Palace and got right down to business, I wasn't speaking with Ryker, and right now, I didn't want to speak to Lora, I was in my feelings. The wedding turns into an all-out brawl with Michelle being killed, Emerie is hurt and Michael is attending to her, Aidan is forced to bring Michelle back unlocking the powerful power of bringing back the dead. Roman was an i***t and so was Eric, I was ready for his death now more than ever.

I saw Michael walking in with the prisoner and Aidan sent him to the cells, we would deal with his ass later and I looked at Ty and said, "You got your wish." I turned to check on Emerie healing her foot and she kissed me, I held her so tightly and Lora walked away but I didn't care. Later we watched Ty kill Eric in a little battle, Ty wanted this for so long because he wanted to avenge his mate's forced mating and abuse. We were done playing with them, and in turn, sped up the process, this was our wake-up call that Roman was planning to take us out again, he was searching for our weakness but we had none this time. Michael looked at Eric's head after it was given to him as a souvenir, he wanted it because of what we found out about Cayden and Allison, that son-of-a-b***h had forced his daughter into a mating that could kill all involved if a rejection happened. This would explain why Cayden and Allison broke up so abruptly without explanation, Cayden was heartbroken and turned to women and alcohol to fill that void, slacking up on his duties and forcing his brother to step in to help out.

A Few Days Ago

Emerie

I have a pretty good idea who my mate might be and honestly, I don't care, I wanted Drax, I felt a kiss on my neck bringing me out of my reverie and I kissed him back before we ended up on the bed. "Omg, right there, don't stop, f**k, keep going," I was being pounded into by my baby, he always knows how to make me feel so loved and wanted. He was thrusting in and out of me like he hadn't seen me in weeks, I looked at his feral eyes just enjoying my p***y and I loved every moment of it. His groans were so masculine and feral, "f**k," it made me so wet for him, he pulled me to the end of the bed both our bodies sweaty and he pushed my legs back to my chest and started his assault on my p***y again, he moaned, "You're so wet, Emi, fuck." I felt my orgasm coming and I could see he was close as he sped up, our skin made slapping sounds and he growled before biting into my leg and drinking blood as my orgasm sent me off to s****l bliss.

After he licked my legs healing his bite, I felt his c*m run out of me and we both laughed, he leaned in, and kissed me, both of us saying we love each other. Drax had drifted off to sleep but I had gotten up to pee and was about to go back to bed when a link came through and it was my mate, I was so angry, I was in love with Drax and had no desire for my fated mate. I was happy and contented with my situation, I know Drax loves me, he shows me in every way possible and treats me with love and respect. I knew I heard this voice before but couldn't put my finger on it and didn't care. I made it clear what I felt and blocked the person out. I turned and went back to bed and rested my head on Drax's chest before I felt him kiss the top of my head, he said, "You ok, baby, I can sense you are worried," and I turned and kissed him saying, "I want us to go to the next step," before he smiled and we made love again, I had to ask Drax to mark me and move on with my life.

Present/Wedding Day

I was looking at my man in his suit, looking so ravishing, but his mind seemed distant since he came back. I walked over to him and he didn't even see me in front of him until I said, "Baby, what's wrong?" He smiled, held my hand, and spun me around saying, "You look beautiful." I smiled as he kissed me but a growl was heard and we turned to see Alpha Ryker and his Luna looking at me and he said, "What do you want?" In a cold tone, he looked at Alpha Ryker, I sensed the tension between them, and Luna Lora just said, "We wanted to see the bride before the wedding," Drax said, "You can wait until after the ceremony, Your seats are over there," and pointed next to Prince Michael, King Cayden's brother, and I smiled, holding Drax's hand. Drax squeezed my hand and said, "We were ready," we got to our respective places and the music started.

While I was one of Michelle's bridesmaids, I saw Prince Michael looking at me and wondered, "Why?" I ignored it, this gut feeling I had about him, It was not a bad feeling but I was afraid to admit it to myself. The ceremony was in full swing and as Luna Michelle and Alpha Aidan kissed, I started to cry in tears of happiness until I heard a voice in my head, "You can't keep this a secret forever, your time is running out, tell Drax the truth or I will." I blocked it out and held Drax's hand as we went to the reception, I loved Drax and nothing else mattered, not even my true mate. I decided to find out why the potion stopped working, I needed my mate to stop entering my thoughts.

Michael

I was in my bed about to take a nap when I started to feel pain, it had been going on for a while since I came back and the bond was growing trying to pull us together and I knew it was Emerie being intimate with Drax, I chanted a little spell so the pain would stop but I usually suffer in silence, not even my brother knows. I bury myself in work to get my mind off her but it sucks sometimes, I refuse to f**k another female because I don't want her to feel what I go through. I linked her an hour later hoping she was still up and told her, "We need to talk, this is killing me, Emerie," and she said, "I don't want a mate, I love Drax, leave me alone," before blocking me and I throw the remote at the wall breaking it. This was driving me insane and I needed to come clean to Drax but I didn't know how, I didn't want to lose my best friend, or better yet, he would kill me for even looking at Emerie.

Drax could sense something was off after visiting me a few days before the wedding and I knew that I couldn't keep this any longer from him, I love him, he is my best friend and his girlfriend is forcing me to hide this from him. I don't know how Drax will take it, he is adamant that he wants her and not his mates, I am at my wits end with this. I dressed and went over to Cayden's quarters, he was in bad shape, he was having a hard time getting out of bed but he did anyway and we headed out together. We reached the wedding on time, Cayden had a glass of scotch and had shades on, Aidan felt bad for him but he would be okay, and the wedding started. My mate was not far from me and it was driving me crazy. She was one of the bridesmaids and I linked her just before the ceremony was over, "You can't keep this a secret forever, your time is running out, tell Drax the truth or I will."

I was on edge, the bond was growing, and there was also something else inside me that was growing, it scared me a little but that was my problem to deal with. It was only a matter of time before we both collided and I didn't want to hurt Drax, I respect him too much, especially after all that he had been through. Eric made a big mistake in getting Michelle killed and after I saw what was in Ty's mind after reading his blood, I was so ready for his death. He forced the mating of Allison and her bodyguard Bradley and that caused my brother's accident months ago almost killing him. My brother doesn't even know the truth because he won't talk to Allison, now he got drunk and sleeping it off. I was furious at what was done to my brother, him being linked to the spell, would also drag me into it as we are linked by birth. Whatever happens depending on how strong it is, sometimes it will affect me, we both could have ruled the Kingdom together, but I chose to be his second-in-command.

We saw the ambush that would happen soon and were preparing for it, I knew that son-of-b***h Eric would get his, soon. Drax was handling Roman's men, assigning our men near them before they were given the okay to attack. I sent my best men to guard my brother as I put him to sleep with a little spell, nothing harmful, I wanted to peel and burn Eric's flesh, I wanted to watch it happen as I drank my Irish whiskey and got my c**k sucked just for causing my brother so much pain, maybe, just maybe, I can make his body do that later. Although I would rather it was my mate sucking my c**k off but she is still denying our bond and lying to her boyfriend, who would probably kill me when he finds out. I won't force her, but she needs a little push, to tell the truth, hopefully, she will eventually come to me. I don't know why she is not feeling the bond or the pull, she acts like I didn't exist for years.
