"f**k," I breathed in a low hush, not believing my Moon Goddess could be so cruel to not just curse with one, but two male mates.
"Mate," as Apollyon growled, and took a step in my direction, I snapped out of my initial shock and backed off.
"Stop right there," I warned him, my eyes racking over his shadow. As if a vermin wasn't enough, now I have an invisible one with me.
Invisible; I like that name, Lyco snorted.
This is not funny at all, I barked at her.
"I think there is a kind of misunderstanding going on here. I'm not your mate," I lied straight through my teeth, ignoring the sneers coming from behind me. I could bet my boobs that vermin was enjoying the show.
"That was what she said to me too," Vampy commented. If you ask me, his comment was unnecessary. He could have just minded his own business and shut his ass but no, he had to shove his ass in other's business. (Pfft, she is so salty about them).
"Shut up," I growled at Vampy, who in return growled at me in warning. I may be carrying Alpha blood in me, but I don't have the full potential as I don't have an Alpha title with me so it wasn't a surprise his growl made me want to submit to him.
I did not bow under the pressure though; in return, I scowled at the bastard. With my attention away from Apollyon, he took the opportunity to grab my hands.
"If I'm not your mate, then how do you explain the sparks, mate," he stepped out of the shadow, his shadow turning into a black smoke that swirled around him.
Hot damn, Lyco whistled, fanning herself.
I gaped at him in disbelief, sliding Lyco's comment aside. I do hate to admit it but he was handsome; hauntingly beautiful if you will.
"Those are not sparks," I shamelessly denied, averting my eyes from the bulging muscles that his shirt was struggling to contain.
"Do you mind if I mark you to check if we are mates or not?" His stare made me shake my head from side to side. Have you ever been struck by a pressure that leaves you confused and senseless? That is me right now.
I softly gasped as he tried to control his aura. Under his spell, he closed the distance between us and I realized a little too late as he wrapped his arms around me and whispered, "Let's move this conversation somewhere else."
I blinked in confusion as his shadow swirled around us and teleported us to a grand bedroom, which I'm assuming belongs to him.
"Tell me, mate, what is the meaning of all this? I'm failing to understand why you're denying the mate bond," The invisible sat right in front of me with his legs parted, his torso slightly leaning forward with his hands casually resting on his thighs and demanded.
I have several inappropriate things to say, Lyco started.
Under no circumstances should you mention that inappropriate comment in front of me. Do you understand, Lyco?
Got it, Lyco said. With Lyco out of my head, I focused on the conversation at hand.
"I'm glad you mentioned it. Moon Goddess made a blunder with us," I stated.
"How so?" he asked.
"I'm not into guys. I have only ever been into girls. Our mate bond is bound to fail," I said honestly.
"Come again?" He asked; his expression didn't change but there was confusion in his eyes, which made me feel a tad bit guilty. They might be rival species and I might not like them but at the end of the day, they didn't deserve a mate who couldn't even love them, let alone be a good mate.
"I'm lesbian," I said clearly.
"And that is a problem because? I don't see any reason for you to reject mate bond just because of your s****l preferences," he said, adding, "Or do you think mates are all about s*x? We are each other's part; we complete each other."
His response made me ponder my choices. It's indeed absurd to deny my mates because I'm not into males. I was just looking at the mating perspective, but mates are much more than that; mating is just a little part of it.
After pondering over it a bit, I said, "You're right. It would be foolish to reject you because of my s****l preferences. But this confused me all over again. What am I supposed to do as your mate? Even if we do end up accepting each other, we would never mate; wouldn't that be unfair to you?"
"It is for us to decide if it's unfair for us or not, don't you think? We will carry our burdens, we just need you to decide if you want this relationship," Apollyon said.
"I don't want to reject you, that's for sure… but I'm not sure if I want to accept us," I confessed.
"You don't want to reject us, does that not mean you have accepted the fact that we are mates? What's there to ponder about? Let's just let the mate bond guide us. I'm sure, Moon Goddess wouldn't disappoint us," Apollyon suggested.
"I'm not sure if Moon Goddess made the right decision with us but I'll wait for it. That being said, let me make this clear; If you do anything shady, I'll immediately leave your sorry asses. Is that clear?" I looked them straight in the eyes so they could get the message that I was not playing around.
"Cristle! Now that you have accepted us, can we cuddle?" Vampy saw an opening and he shamelessly butted in.
"No," I said with a straight face.
"Come on, you might not feel it but our bond is driving me crazy. I promise I won't do anything, let's just cuddle," Vampy said, and even though I could see all the schemes going on behind his eyes, I still fell prey to his cute begging, forgetting that one acting cute and cheeky, is thousands of years old Vampire who has mastered the art of manipulation. He knows how to play his card to trap his victim, and in this case, I was the victim.
The guilty me, only thought he was scheming to get me in bed but the vermin was setting his trap to capture me and my other mate was on board with him.
I settled in the middle of the vast bed, waiting for them to lay beside me.
Just think of it as a sleepover. I said to myself.
I'm telling you, something is wrong; I can smell schemes in the air, Lyco commented. No way this is ordinary mate bonding between mates; it feels far too sinister.
Can you stop scaring me? I grunted at my Lycan. Leave it to her to discourage me in everything.
I'm telling you, these two are shady as f**k, she cried out, offended that I'm not taking her intuition seriously.
I don't trust them either but do we have a play to wiggle out of it? I asked. Plus, don't you feel bad for them? We both are stuck in a situation that sucks so instead of hating them for something they don't have control over, I should try to be as understanding as possible. Cuddling with them won't be uncomfortable for me so if that's what satisfies their beasts, that is the least I could do for them as their mate.
I do feel bad for them just as much as I do for myself. I can't even get railed because my human is into women. I'm tired of eating all the p*****s, all I want is to deep-throat some big c***s. I bet they are packing some meat down there, but that aside, I could still feel something is wrong. She drooled at the end.
Lyco, I gasped.
What did I say wrong? Don't tell me you forgot I'm not into women. She growled. I didn't comment on it because more than anyone, I know how straight she is.
You're a b***h, you know that, my Lycan growled and stomped her way to the back of my conscience, fuming at me for forgetting she is into d**k, which is unfair because I never forget. How could I even forget when the last time I had a c**k in me was just a couple of weeks ago.
You might be confused about how I am taking c***s despite being a lesbian, let me explain how it came to be. When I first transformed, and my Lycan found out I was a lesbian, she threw a fit for two whole weeks. After the Cold War, we came to a middle ground; she would sleep with a man every time I slept with a woman. After the day I f**k a woman, I will have to sleep with a man to satisfy her desires. During those times, she gets half of the control to feel everything.
You know damn well I could never forget. I slept with men at your request and that turned out awful for me. I reminded her about times when I had to take c***s for her pleasure.
That was different, Lyco gasped. These two are mates, they would feel a thousand times better than those lads. Just look at them, they look experienced as hell. I can bet my t**s, they will bring us to an orgasm within seconds. She commented.
Excuse me! How is it any different? And even if it does make a difference, I'm still not doing it. It's unpleasant for me. Also, were you not the one who was shading them just a moment ago? What got your inner slut roaring to life? I asked.
I still stand by my words but being in the same bed as them is making me throb for some c***s, she panted.
Gross, I scrunch my nose in disgust. Suddenly, my vision was covered in darkness and my conscience started fading rapidly. Just before I lost my conscience, I faintly heard…
"Hello, little mate."
