“Run first,” I said, clearing some of the lustful thoughts playing in my head.

“Yeah, we need to run,” she said, looking up at us biting her lip like she was nervous. “I know things have been rough on all of us. It’s been hard processing the curse, my sister and everything that has come to light. I’m just really scared.”

Her voice breaking made me feel like a piece of shit. Lucien looked at me with a raised brow, and I knew I owed her my trust.

“I’m sorry Katarina,” I said, ready to give her an apology that ended with me on my knees and saying sorry with my tongue.

“Don’t be. Things have been tense; I just need you to trust me.” Katarina’s eyes almost glowed as she looked at me. “Once this curse is over, I’m hoping we can just live for us.”

“We deserve to live for us,” I said, bringing her in for a kiss.

It was meant to be soft and gentle, but Katarina opened my mouth with her tongue pulling herself closer to me as I felt her pull Lucien closer to us too. Lucien kissed my jaw slowly and sensually. Katarina ran her hand through my hair to bring me closer, biting my lower lip then sucking on it hard.

I groaned loudly before I tore my mouth away to kiss Lucien.

“We should run before we start the sexual activities.” Zev’s voice broke the sex haze.

“I think we can have sex before the run,” Lucien teased.

“No, we need to run,” I said, kissing Katarina quickly and then Lucien.

We pulled away from each other, the heat in our gaze decreasing slightly.

“Are you ready?” Mr. Potter’s voice broke our gaze.

“Let’s do this,” Katarina said.

Mr. Potter walked up to us with sage already lit.

“Goddess, allow this run to cleanse their energies and allow them to use your moonlight to reaffirm the bond that has been blessed upon them.”

His words brought me back to the day we ran before we tried the other spell. I hadn’t mated with her yet and neither had Zev. How different we were now that we had completed the bond.

“Goddess, allow them to charge their bond, bring them power for their spell and bless them in their spell to break this curse.”

His voice broke on the last word. It wasn’t until then that I realized these were the last few days we were going to have with him. My throat felt tight with emotions. The man who had taken care of us for so long would be leaving us forever if we broke the curse.

“Go run, replenish your energy and pray that the goddess gives you the strength you need to be free,” Mr. Potter said, and I could have sworn I saw tears in his eyes.

“Mr. Potter,” Katarina cried out, launching herself at him.

It was stupid, but all of us growled as he embraced her.

“Oh, shut up, it’s Mr. Potter for fuck’s sake,” Katarina growled back.

Mr. Potter embraced her like she was family. He exchanged words with her, that I wasn’t privy to, making her cry. I took a step towards them before Mr. Potter gave each of us a glare that said back off.

“Oh, for fuck’s sakes.” It was Mr. Potter's turn to growl. “I see Katarina as a daughter and nothing more, do you think I have any chance at stealing your mate?”

Katarina pulled away from their embrace, laughing so hard she bent over leaning on her knees. “Mr. Potter, I love you and the fact that you said fuck brings me even more happiness.”

“Well, I’m glad my one slip-up brought a smile to your face.” He embraced her one more time. “I’ll miss you, but I’m so proud of you.”

“Thank you.” Katarina whispered.

“Now go run,” Mr. Potter said, stepping away, looking at each of us before he disappeared.

We all stepped towards her, all of us wanted to comfort her.
