Zev didn’t say anything before he left, leaving me to wonder what Aeon said to him to make him agree.

“Thank you!” Aeon called out to him before looking up like he was frustrated.

I walked to him wanting to comfort him. I wrapped my arms around his middle leaning my cheek against his back.

“You shouldn't have listened,” Aeon said, resting his arm against my own.

“I couldn’t help it, plus I didn’t think he would appreciate me walking in on your conversation. He might have gotten spooked,” I said, taking a deep breath of his scent, easing my anxiety.

“I think he knew you were here, his nose is pretty strong but he agreed so maybe he didn’t know if you were here.”

“I’m surprised, I expected him to take the entire three days to say yes.”

Aeon laughed.

“So did Lucien.” He turned around wrapping his arms around me while he took a big inhale. “I hate that—”

He didn’t finish his sentence. I was about to ask him what he was about to say but the front doors opened. I tensed immediately thinking it was Zev, but Lucien’s scent enveloped me.

“He tried to leave, but the barrier is still in place for us,” he said, making me turn around to see him looking at my ass. “What are these pants called, Kit Kat? I swear they are painted on your legs and they make your legs look great.”

“Just her legs?” Aeon’s voice held mirth as he grabbed my ass. They were just leggings, but I had to remember they were probably used to different clothing.

“Among other things.” He blushed.

I laughed when he finally looked at my face.

“I… I… We…” he stuttered.

“Calm down, Lu. It's ok.” I smiled. “They are called leggings.”

“They should be worn everyday,” he growled.

I laughed as the clock chimed, instantly stealing my smile away.

Lucien gave me a sympathetic smile.

“I think we need to figure out if you can leave, Kitten,” Aeon said.

“Wouldn’t I be tied to the spell just like you are?” I looked back at Aeon. “Isn’t that why I had to put my blood in the cauldron?”

“Yes, but it's also to satisfy the curse. When Vivienne cast the spell, I’m thinking she didn’t realize the gravity of the spell and in turn, cursed the Belladonnas too.” Aeon explained. “At least that’s what I think happened.”

“We’ve speculated about the magic she used for a while, but Vivienne was so strong that we didn’t doubt she could manage a spell of this magnitude.” Lucien stood by us.

“We know she used blood magic, but she didn’t set up her spell correctly and the magic did whatever it wanted. How did—”

“Kitten, you have to go to your room,” he said, interrupting me, his eyes flashing gold, pushing me away.

“Let’s go, Kit Kat.” Lucien pulled me away from Aeon but I wasn’t ready to say good night even though I’m sure he was feeling the need to shift.

I cupped Aeon’s face, his yellow eyes stayed in place. I knew it was his wolf looking at me. He gripped my hips, aggressively pushing me against Lucien. He slid one of his hands up my body until he was cupping the side of my face before he kissed me.

It wasn’t sweet or gentle. Aeon kissed me possessively, like he wanted to devour me, like I was his and only his. He nipped my lip before pulling back.

“Mine,” he growled, his eyes still yellow, looking at me and then Lucien.

“Ours,” Lucien growled back, I looked up to see his eyes had turned yellow too.
