“Goddess,” Dylan mutters under his breath and turns around, starting to pace behind her couch. Oscar shoves his hands into his pink hair and tugs on the strands, a panicked expression on his face.
I suck in a breath as the knowledge settles in my brain. She’s known about this for weeks and didn’t come to me. To any of us. Any anger I had at her for keeping this from us promptly drains from my body and my shoulders slump in defeat.Does she still not know me enough to trust me?To come to me when she’s in trouble. It’s like a punch in the face, but I shove it aside and take a step closer to her. “Why didn’t you come to us?” My words are soft, but she flinches like I shouted them.
She breaks eye contact, those golden eyes darting around the room before landing on my chest. “I-I don’t know,” she says, tugging her bottom lip between her teeth. The usually confident woman I know is suddenly nowhere to be seen. Her nostrils are flared, and she keeps shifting on her feet, still gnawing on her bottom lip.
A low rumble starts up in my chest and I step into her, leaving barely a foot of space between us before cupping her chin. I tug her abused bottom lip from between her teeth and tilt her head back so her eyes are on mine. “I’m not mad, you know? I don’t like it, but I understand why you didn’t tell us earlier.” I can feel Dylan and Oscar’s eyes on us, but it doesn’t bother me. I’m too focused on the determination that’s rushing through me. Determination to prove to Nessa that she can trust me. Trustus. “But I am glad you’ve told us now. That you trusted us enough to tell us. We’re here for you, as your friends, and possibly more.” At that she tries to duck her head, cheeks pinking slightly, but I keep her head still with the gentle grip I have on her chin. I smile, eyes searching her face. “I need you to know that. To know that you believe us.” The others chime in as well and draw closer, framing Nessa between us, while still giving her space to move if she wants to. She doesn’t though.
She swallows, elegant throat bobbing as her eyes flit between us. Her lips part, pupils dilating and the urge to kiss her hits me hard. I lean in slowly, giving her plenty of time to pull away, but she doesn’t, and instead she closes the remaining distance between us. That rumble in my chest deepens as our mouths come together, and my hand shifts from her chin to her nape, as my other curls around her waist, tugging our bodies together. She nips my bottom lip and I part for her. As she explores my mouth, I nudge her legs open and press my thigh between them. She gasps and rolls her hips, pulling back from the kiss to suck in deep breaths as she grinds against me again.
I growl, hands dropping to her hips to press her against me harder. She moans, then jolts when Oscar echoes her groan, as though she just remembered that we’re not alone. I pause, waiting for her reaction, ready to pull away if she’s uncomfortable, but she tilts her head up to capture my lips in a slow kiss. My hands flex on her hips as I reign myself in, before letting her go when she pulls back. We need to take this slow for her.
She looks fucking glorious. Lips swollen, eyes dazed, cheeks flushed. If this is how she looks just from my kiss, I can’t wait to see her after I’ve given her an orgasm. I groan at the mental image and reach down to adjust my hard length. Nessa eyes us all, not missing when Oscar and Dylan do the same thing. Her scent that’s already flooding the room, spikes with lust and I groan again.Goddess. I need to take a walk and get some fresh air before I do something stupid, like tear Nessa’s clothes off and bend her over the back of the couch. My cock pulses and I wince. And maybe a cold shower, yeah that sounds like a great idea.
Swallowing, I clear my throat and refocus on Nessa. “I need to go, before I do something stupid, but I will be back to talk this over more.”
“We can work out a time to meet up in our group chat later,” Oscar says, and we all make sounds of agreement.
I lean in and give her a lingering kiss and brush her mussed hair back with my fingers so it’s out of her face before leaving her dorm. The second I have the door closed behind me, I throw up a barrier and turn invisible.
My steps are weighted with anger as I walk in the direction of my dorm, but I tug out my phone. I need to talk to Ezra. Dialling his number, I press the phone to my ear and he picks up on the first ring.
“Corin,” he greets.
“Ezra.”
He’s silent in response and I know he’s waiting for me to tell him what’s going on. I let out a sigh and use my free hand to rub my face. “Ethan has been stalking Nessa. I somehow missed it and she didn’t tell us about it until today.”
“Us?”
“Yes, Dylan, Oscar and me.”
He’s quiet for a moment before he hums and static comes through the phone for a moment. I’m about to pull my phone away from my ear, thinking I’ve lost the connection, when he clears his throat. “I’ll look into it.” It’s all he says before he hangs up.
I grit my teeth in frustration and pick up the pace. Somehow the conversation hasn’t affected my raging libido and my length is still painfully hard. So I have my clothes stripped off and shower running in thirty seconds flat, hand fisting my cock as the hot water sleuths over my back the moment I get in my dorm. However unsatisfying it is, I need release or I’m going to fucking snap. Even as I pump my painfully hard cock, precum beading at the tip, I can feel my primal side just under the surface snarling for our mate. I brace a hand on the tile, pumping my cock in hard, punishing jerks, the borderline pain pushing me to the edge quickly. It’s the mental image of Nessa between Dylan, Oscar and me that throws me over the edge with a growl, and I paint my shower wall with my cum.
It doesn’t help. If anything it makes it worse and I bend over, bracing my hands on my thighs as my primal side fights for control. Black fur sprouts on my arms and my instincts roar to life for a few seconds before dipping away again. Groaning, pain jolts through me before disappearing and I pant out a breath. This could literally not be happening at a worse time. I have to fight this, if I lose, I don’t know what I’ll do.
Straightening up, I turn off the shower taps, fighting through another wave of pain as I fight off my instincts that are practically screaming through my head. Find Nessa.Rut her. Bite her. Breed her.A pitiful sound escapes my throat as I dry myself off then tug on clothes. I’m not going to win, I know it.Shit.
A shiver rolls up my spine, then I snap, bracing my hands on my bathroom basin, eyeing my reflection. My pupils blow, the change coming over me. I grow taller, shoulders broadening as fur covers the backs of my arms, back, and my legs. My nails shift to thick dark brown claws, and my now glowing amber eyes stare back at me from the mirror behind my sharpened facial features. Instantly, all of my heightened senses swirl through my mind, all blaring different information at me, but I shove it all away. Trying to fight the chaos that is in my head right now.
Panting, the instincts I was fighting overwhelms me and I press my hands over my ears, snarling.Nessa. I need to go to her. With no regard for her reaction, I turn invisible and launch from my window, landing on the ground in a crouch, then I’m stalking towards her dorm.
She’s alone. I’ve been standing outside her window for the last ten minutes, a low growl rattling in my chest as I watch her move around her apartment. She’s put a distorting effect on her windows since I looked in on her last, but I’m strong enough, magic wise, to see through it. She seems to be frustrated, but she hasn’t given me a hint as to why. Not that she’s aware I’m here. Her dorm is warded, but being her mate, her magic doesn’t work on me. Another reason I can see through the distortion spell.
My mind is foggy, instincts ruling me, so when I portal directly into her lounge room and turn visible—still in my primal form—I’m a little confused as to why she looks startled. She’s my mate and should be happy to see me. A purr starts up in my chest as I stalk towards her, planning to reach out and snatch her into my arms. It doesn’t quite work out like that though.
Nessa
I blink repeatedly as Corin—in his beast form, mind you—appearsin my lounge room. The shock of it snaps me out of the chaotic pacing I was doing and has all that hyper energy honing in on him. Ever since he and the other guys left I’ve had this strange energy hovering under my skin. It was driving me insane, not to mention that my lust just keeps ramping up to the point where even a round with my vibe Harry didn’t help at all.
I’m still recovering from the shock of his appearance when he starts to stalk towards me, a purr rattling in his chest. The Corin I know doesn’t seem to be fully there right now. No. I think he’s lost to his Lycan instincts right now. My nostrils flare, taking in his spicier than usual bonfire scent. I also get the chance to take him in properly in his Lycan form. Corin in his normal form is giant, but Corin in his Lycan form? That is a whole other fucking beast—pun intended. His facial features are sharper than usual, his cheek bones and jaw could fucking cut glass, and his hair is the same length but thicker than it usually is. I also notice that his ears have lengthened slightly and are now pointed at the tips. He’s got to be at least seven and a half feet tall, with thick muscle rippling from head to toe. I’m not sure if he’s realised it, but his shirt and jeans are half torn, exposing some of his thick tattoos and the black fur that’s now covering his shoulders, the backs of his arms and his back, I’m guessing. He’s barefoot and his feet and lower legs appear to be more wolf-like than human, but he’s standing fully upright. The long claws he has in place of his nails have my tongue darting out to wet my lips. Goddess, even though it probably shouldn’t, the sight of him in his shifted form is hot as fuck and isn’t helping me get control of my raging libido at all.
I refuse to look too closely at the part of me that’s suddenly writhing with lust. It whispers at me torun.To make him chase me down. Make him earn it. All that suppressed desire and fucking push and pull energy from the last few months flares through me, and I lean forwards, eyeing him intently.
He thinks he has me caught.He’s fucking dead wrong. A shiver rolls over me and goosebumps prickle my flesh. A smirk curls my lips before I tap into the new vampire abilities inside me and bolt away from him, throwing the window open with my magic before leaping through it. “Catch me if you can,” I call over my shoulder, heart fluttering in my chest like a rabbit’s. A snarl is all I get in response.
I haul ass, using my claws to scale down the tree before free falling the rest of the way down, dropping into a roll before launching to my feet. I take off at a run, the thud as Corin lands on the ground behind me, ringing in my ears. It’s dark out, but thanks to my vampire powers I can see fine. I sweep out my magic to double check that there is no one around then I aim for the forest, breath coming out in pants as adrenaline buzzes in my veins. His footsteps pound behind me and I dive into the thick wall of trees, scaling a tree as soon as I’m a few feet into the bush.
