Yet fear of the unknown keeps me level-headed. I’m not sure what I can do, and some part of that scares me after hiding it for so long. Then last night’s thoughts return.Are they only using me because they now know what I am?I know the only one that would get hurt if that is the case is me. My thoughts are troubled when I feel fangs pierce my neck, and power floods into me like a tidal wave, cold and powerful. My eyes flutter shut, and my toes curl at the euphoria of it.

“Don’t fight it,” Lycus murmurs just before his lips crash against mine once again. His power surges through me and mixes with Tobias’, and my heart starts beating faster. It feels like it will burst out of my chest when desire so strong smashes into me, making me gasp as Tobias’ hands move up my sides. Tobias just marked me, and I can suddenly feel everything he feels.

No malice, just Tobias and his hunger, desire, and acceptance. He pulls his teeth from my neck, his lips traveling up my neck to below my ear.

“I want you, Aleera. Not what you can do for me,” Tobias murmurs when I feel Lycus’ teeth sink into the same spot, making my toes curl. My hips roll against his, and Lycus’ hands squeeze my ass as all his power surges into me, along with Tobias’.

Our powers blending, forces me to drop the barrier between both sides of magic, unable to contain it as it erupts, my veins tingling and my skin buzzing. Lycus pulls his teeth from my neck, and blood stains his lips.

“Two down, two to go.” Lycus laughs before his lips crash against mine hungrily. I can feel them completely, everything they feel. I can feel they gave me every drop of their power. They are both at my mercy if I choose not to give it back, and I smile against his lips, knowing he trusts me enough to have given me the power to destroy them, while trusting I don’t.

Kalen laughs, making me pull away from Lycus, who also looks over at him.

“What?” Lycus asks.

“She emptied your reserves,” Kalen teases with an amused laugh.

“So?” Tobias says against my neck. I sigh at the feel of his lips on my skin.

“What if she refuses to give it back?” Kalen mocks, and Tobias’ lips stop their teasing.

“I’ll get it back,” Lycus growls, rolling my hips against his front. His erection presses against me and makes me moan obscenely. “Isn’t that right, Aleera?”

I shake my head, and he growls, making me open my eyes to stare at him.

Lycus nips at my lips. “You will give it back,” he purrs.

“Make me.” My airy voice is almost a moan as arousal floods into me, and Tobias presses closer behind me.

Lycus chuckles darkly. “Our little vixen wants to play,” he taunts.

“Hmm, appears so. Let’s see who breaks her first, then,” Tobias growls as Lycus’ lips slam against mine. Tobias’ hands move up and over my hips, sneaking under my shirt and squeezing my breasts.

ChapterFive

Their touch burns and excites me. The feelings through the bond are overwhelmingly strong. It should have scared me, having so many hands touching and tugging on me. Tobias’ hand moves to my shirt, tugging it off over my head and forcing Lycus’ lips to leave mine. Tobias’ hand then grips my throat, tilting my head back before his lips cover mine, my back pressing against his chest when I feel Lycus’ lips latch to my nipple.

Electricity shoots through me like a bolt of lightning, their magic swirling like a storm within me as it mingles with my newly awakened magic, strengthening it, armoring theirs, and fueling mine. My reserves re-energized when Lycus bites my nipple, his teeth breaking the delicate skin, and I gasp, ripping my lips from Tobias’ to scold him, only for Lycus’ lips to crash against mine.

He chuckles, pushing me closer to Tobias, who is suddenly forced against the wall with me pressed between them. Lycus moans, and I drop my guard under the assault of his tongue that is tasting every inch of my mouth.

His fiery tongue tangles with mine when I feel the zap as he steals some of his power back. He pulls his lips from mine with a gasp. His eyes flicker, and he shivers and groans. The sound that leaves him is almost a moan when his eyes turn black, and he suddenly looks demonic, a cocky grin on his face as he blinks the haze away.

“Fuck!” he groans, his skin rippling like he is about to shift, yet I can feel it is my power morphing with his that is causing it. His aura feels ten times stronger, and he isn’t even using it.

Lycus’ canines slip out from between his lips as he breathes heavily, his claws slipping from his fingertips. He loosens his grip so they don’t pierce into me just when I feel Tobias sink his teeth into my neck over my mark. My eyes roll in the back of my head as spine-tingling bliss erupts all over as he feeds on me. Yet even as he drains some of my magic, instead of feeling weaker, my power burns hotter, stronger, and I exhale when he pulls his teeth from my neck. I hear his head hit the wall as he throws it back.

“So seductively sweet,” he growls. His entire body shudders behind me when I feel Lycus’ hands warm as he feeds his magic back into me.

“Careful, Lycus. Don’t overwhelm her,” Darius growls, making my eyes open to see him climb off the bed. He walks over to us, and I can feel through the bond that Tobias is struggling with his bloodlust behind me, my magic bleeding through him, overpowering him and overwhelming his senses.

Darius stops beside us, looking at Tobias with worry clear on his face, but I know he won’t hurt me. He has enough control, and I am sure I can take him if needed. Darius observes Lycus and Tobias curiously, like he can sense the power coursing through our mates.

Reaching my hand out, I grip his shoulder and yank him toward me. He stumbles, and I lean over, smashing my lips against his, wanting to know what it will be like with all their magic racing through me. Darius’ lips are warm against mine, soft, and I siphon most of his power within seconds. The shock at me kissing him drops his guard, and it bleeds into me quickly as I pull back away from him.

His power is like ice in my veins, so cold and intense that it makes my heart stutter, and I gasp for air as I swallow it down. His power bleeding into me and mingling with ours. Mine is fighting to change his while his powerful magic is fighting to change mine. His power dances with mine, playing with it, teasing mine, and making goosebumps rise all over my body.

“You little minx, you stole it,” Darius chuckles, and I giggle, relieved that he isn’t mad but just seems amused. It is the first I have seen this more playful side of him.
