Chapter 88: Dripping for more
/Edlyn/
For a moment, I forgot about everything.
I forgot about the kingdoms, the missing pack, the dragons, the strange voice that had been haunting my mind, and even the warning that had been hanging over us since everything started. There was only the three of us standing there, and for the first time since fate had decided to make my life completely insane, I didn't feel like I was being pulled in two different directions.
I felt whole.
Luca's hand remained against my cheek while Nelson's arm stayed around my waist, and I could feel both of their powers brushing against mine. They were different, just like they were different in almost every other way. Luca's presence felt cold and ancient, like the darkness of a thousand nights, while Nelson's felt warm and wild, like standing beneath the moon with every wolf in the forest watching over me.
Yet somehow, instead of fighting against each other, their powers were meeting inside me.
And they weren't hurting me.
They were fitting.
My breath caught.
"Do you feel that?" I whispered.
Nelson looked at Luca before turning his attention back to me. "Yes."
Luca's expression had changed completely. The usual arrogance was gone, replaced by something I rarely saw in him.
His thumb brushed slowly across my cheek. "Kitten, if anything feels wrong, you tell us immediately."
I nodded.
"I will."
Nelson moved closer, his forehead resting gently against mine. "You don't have to do this for us."
"I'm not."
His eyes searched mine.
"I'm doing it because I want to," I continued. "Because I'm tired of being afraid that one day I'll wake up and one of you will be gone. I'm tired of wondering which kingdom will be attacked next and whether I'll get there in time."
My voice cracked, and I swallowed hard.
"I want us to stop surviving separately."
Luca's eyes softened.
"Then we survive together."
Nelson nodded. "Together."
That word no longer sounded strange.
It didn't sound like something Luca hated anymore.
It sounded like a promise.
I reached for Luca's hand and placed it over my heart, then took Nelson's hand and placed it there too. Their fingers brushed against each other, and neither pulled away.
"Whatever happens after tonight," I whispered, "we face it together."
The moment the words left my mouth, something inside me shifted.
A powerful pulse moved through my chest.
I gasped.
Both men immediately tightened their hold on me.
"Edlyn?"
"I'm okay."
Another pulse followed, stronger than the first.
The candles around the room flickered violently.
Luca's eyes widened as his vampire senses caught whatever was happening before either of us could understand it.
"Your power."
I looked down at my hands.
Light was beginning to glow beneath my skin.
Not bright enough to blind us, but enough to make the entire room shimmer.
Moon stirred inside me.
'Edlyn...'
For once, she didn't sound irritated or argumentative.
She sounded amazed.
Vamp was completely silent.
That scared me more than anything.
"What is happening to me?" I whispered.
Neither of them answered immediately.
Then Nelson squeezed my hand.
"Whatever it is, you're not facing it alone."
The glow became stronger.
I could feel Luca's bond pulling toward me.
Then Nelson's.
Instead of competing, they wrapped around each other through me, creating something I had never felt before.
A third presence.
Something born from the three of us.
My knees nearly gave out.
Nelson caught me immediately while Luca steadied my face.
"Easy, firecracker."
I laughed weakly through the tears gathering in my eyes.
"Did you really just call me firecracker?"
"You are my firecracker."
Luca sighed.
"And apparently my kitten."
I looked between them and smiled.
"Your kitten and your firecracker."
"Unfortunately," Luca muttered.
Nelson laughed.
I shook my head, smiling as tears finally slipped down my cheeks.
For the first time, I wasn't crying because I was afraid.
I was crying because I had spent so long believing I would eventually have to choose.
Now I understood.
I didn't have to choose.
I only had to trust what my heart had already decided.
I pulled both of them closer.
"Stay with me."
Luca kissed my forehead.
"Always."
Nelson pressed a kiss against my temple.
"Always."
I closed my eyes.
And Nelson teeth sunk into the skin on my bare night that wasn’t marked… instead of pain I felt intense pleasure, my pussy soaked up immediately.
A hand on my wet panties and I don’t even know who among them it belong since my eye was closed.
“Fuck she wet and dripping for more” Luca said and instead of Nelson’s replying, I felt another hand on my tight and dear moon goddess tjis two will be the dead of me.
