Chapter 46: Their Cursed

When we got upstairs, Calder wasn’t back yet. I wanted to shower so Cullen decided to join me. I was happy to have him with me because I was still feeling a little off from the stares we got during our walk. Cullen was sweet and attentive while we showered, washing and conditioning my hair thoroughly. He let me wash him as well. There were lots of sweet kisses and soft touches, but for once, our usual intense sexual desire stayed at bay. When we were finished, I went into the closet to get dressed. I grabbed one of Cullen’s soft t-shirts and pulled it on with some panties. The twins never complained about me stealing their clothes and I found them very comfortable to sleep in. When I came out of the closet, Calder was sitting on the bed, unbuttoning his shirt. His eyes swept up my body and he smiled.

“There you are,” he said happily. I came over to him, standing right between his legs. I wrapped my arms around his neck, and he rested his hands on my hips. He gave me a curious look for a moment. “Did you guys have fun?” he asked.

“Yes,” I said. “Cullen showed me more of the pack and it was amazing.”

“I’m glad,” he said leaning forward to kiss my lips. I deepened the kiss, missing him since dinner. He seemed happy with my response and invaded my mouth with his tongue. I climbed up on his lap, straddling his legs. His hands snaked their way up the large shirt covering me and started to stroke my skin.

We broke apart, panting slightly. He leaned his forehead against mine. Cullen emerged from the bathroom, dressed in just sweatpants. He came over to us and lifted me from Calder’s lap, taking me back. Calder laughed. Cullen walked to the side of the bed and plopped me down before climbing on as well. We got comfortable in bed while Calder changed. Soon enough, he joined us too. Laying on our sides, I snuggled close to Cullen’s chest while Calder cradled me from behind. I sighed contentedly and Calli purred in my head. It was amazing how quickly I had gotten used to having the two of them. Just one of them was more than I had ever dreamed of and I ended up with two perfect guys. They loved me fiercely yet so differently. It may be selfish, but I don’t know that I could sleep properly without both of them wrapped around me anymore.

Each of them had a hand on my skin, making gentle motions across it. I let their caressing hands soothe me right to sleep.

I felt pleasurable sparks traveling up my body as my sleepy fog began to clear. I had no idea what was happening when my eyes shot open at the sensation of Calder’s mouth on my clit. “Ahhh,” I moaned out. He gave me a small appreciative growl before continuing my wake-up call. My hands fisted in the sheets as his tongue danced along my slit. One of his hands gripped my hips, holding me still to the bed, while the other gripped one of my thighs, spreading it wide to give him better access.

I was panting quickly at the unexpected pleasure. My head was spinning as it tried to clear itself of the sleepy fog and grasp the shock of being woken up like this. I was moaning soon enough, my back arching from the bed as Calder’s tongue dipped into my entrance. He was relentless, his tongue possessing me completely. It didn’t take long for him to push me over the edge. I called out his name as my body rode the orgasm, he woke me up with. His tongue lapped up my juices before he crawled up my body, hovering over me.

“Good morning,” he said with a smirk.

“Good morning,” I said breathlessly.

“I couldn’t wait for breakfast,” he said seductively. I rolled my eyes but gave him a coy smile. He kissed my lips, and I could taste myself on him. He groaned a little as we parted. “I so want to keep you here all day and make this little body writhe under me, but I can’t,” he complained. He sat up pulling me with him.

“Are we going to meet with Samantha again to begin figuring out where Voldigoad is?” I asked.

“We may if Gentry and she actually come out of his room,” he laughed. “Mostly, I need to prepare for the Summit and handle a few things with the business.”

“When is the Summit exactly?” I asked. Nicole had mentioned it was this week but nothing else was really said about it.

“It begins on Friday. Thursday afternoon we will travel to the host pack and stay there until it is over,” he said.

“Do you have much left to do?” I asked.

“A good amount,” he said. That made me a little sad. I didn’t want him to be so busy that I wouldn’t get to see him. He had run off after dinner last night and I could only guess that Cullen would have done the same if not for his strange mood.

“Can I help?” I asked. He gave me a warm smile.

“As much as I wish you could, I am not sure how you could help this time,” he said, running his nose up and down mine.

“Promise to tell me if I can?” I asked. He nodded before kissing me once more.

When we went downstairs, Cullen was waiting for us in the dining room. Calder kissed me quickly and told me he was going to get started on the things he still had left to do for the Summit and left me with Cullen. I pouted as he walked away. Cullen pulled me down with him into a chair, making me sit with him.

“Don’t pout, love,” he said softly in my ear. He gently nuzzled the side of my face, teasing me a little.

I turned and looked at his handsome face. “Are you two always so busy? It seems like you work so much…” I said. Breakfast was brought over to us but we didn’t pay attention. Surprisingly, we were the only ones here this morning from our normal group. Cullen brought his hand up to cup my face, gently caressing my cheek with his thumb.

“No, it is mainly due to the Summit and trying to find Voldigoad. I promise, we won’t always be so busy,” he said gently. I knew they had responsibilities as the next Alphas of the pack and the ones running their family’s business, but I craved the times when I got them to myself.

I nodded my head. “Okay,” I acquiesced.

“Let’s have some breakfast then we can go find my mother. We won’t be able to meet with the witch until she and Gentry decide to rejoin the world,” he said.

I giggled as I thought about what Pip said about Gentry wanting pups right away. “Do you think they are getting along?”

“His block was up this morning, and he didn’t answer his phone. He wouldn’t miss training for something unimportant,” Cullen said with a shrug. I made to get off his lap to sit next to him so we could eat, and he held me still. “Sit with me,” he said simply. I could feel my cheeks heat up, but I didn’t argue with him. I grabbed a grape from one of the plates and brought it to his lips. He opened right up, letting me push the small fruit into his mouth. I grabbed another popping it into my mouth. Before I could chew, he reached up and kissed me, his tongue invading my mouth. He pulled away, taking the grape, and chewing it triumphantly. He opened his mouth expectantly when he was done. I gave him a fake angry pout to which he just laughed. He picked up another piece of fruit offering it to me. I quickly took it from his fingers and chewed. He continued to laugh at me.

Breakfast continued in much of the same fashion with us feeding each other, him occasionally stealing food from me. For once, no one came over to talk to Cullen or interrupt us in any way and we were left alone in our own little bubble. When we finally finished, he gave me sweet kisses starting on my lips and trailing his way down to his mark.

“When my darling son is done, meet me in my office,” Nicole’s voice invaded my head. I stilled at the unexpected mind link.

“Your mom just linked me,” I said. Cullen stopped and his face changed to one of annoyance. “I didn’t know I could do that to anyone other than you can Calder.”

“We made you an official pack member, love. You can link anyone,” he explained.

“Oh,” I said in surprise.

“I assume she is summoning you?” he asked. I nodded my head. He sighed. He lifted me up, letting me stand up. He stood as well, taking my hand and we walked out of the dining room. He took me to his mom’s office and gave me a tender kiss before leaving.

Nicole spent the morning helping me to understand the last of the law book she gave me. She wanted me to thoroughly understand everything before going to the Summit and with the arrival of Samantha, she wasn’t sure how much time we had to study. We took a break during lunch to go down and have lunch with other pack members. Calder and Cullen were missing yet again so Nicole and I sat down together and were quickly joined by some other she-wolves. We all chatted and got to know each other while we ate. Nicole was really amazing. She never let the conversation slip, asking questions about everyone’s lives and loved ones. We were interrupted by someone midway through out meal.

“Luna,” the man addressed her. “There is something that requires your attention immediately.” She gave him a puzzled look but nodded. She turned to me.

“Why don’t you finish up and meet me back upstairs? This shouldn’t take long,” she said.

“Sure,” I said with a smile. She got up and left the dining room with man who came to get her. I finished having lunch with the other ladies and they all slowly left to go back to their days.

I cleared the dishes and made my way out of the dining room. When I made it to the staircase, there was a young girl sitting on the bottom step crying. I crouched down next to her. “Hey, there. Don’t cry. What’s wrong?” I asked gently.

She sniffled and looked up at me. “I ruined sissy’s dress and now she is mad at me. I didn’t mean to though! It was an accident!”

“Oh sweetheart. I’m sure she isn’t really mad at you,” I said trying to console her. “I’m Remi. What is your name?”

“J-jenny,” she sniffed.

“Well, Jenny. Maybe I can help you fix your sissy’s dress?” I suggested. Her eyes grew large.

“You can do that?” she asked, her tears slowing.

“Maybe. I used to fix a lot of my clothes. My old job made me get lots of stains and I learned to sew so I didn’t have to get new clothes,” I told her with a small smile.

“That is so cool. Can you show me?” she asked. She seemed to be less upset now.

“Of course, I can. Do you want to get your sissy’s dress and we can see if we can get it all fixed up for her?” I asked. I knew Nicole was expecting me to meet her back in her office but surely a small detour couldn’t hurt. Jenny nodded her head, her soft blonde curls bouncing around. I held out my hand and helped her up.

“Why are you touching her?” Said a voice behind me. I knew that voice and my stomach dropped as I turned around. Jaime stood behind us, arms crossed. Sure enough, the light pink dress she was wearing had a giant blue stain across the front.

“Sissy, Remi can fix it! She said she will help me fix your dress, so you don’t have to be mad anymore!” said the small girl next to me excitedly.

“Do not touch my sister,” Jaime said in a harsh tone. Jenny gave her a confused look.

“But Remi is so nice, sissy,” Jenny said not understanding.

“It’s okay, Jenny. Maybe you should go ahead with you sister,” I said softly to her.

“But you said you would help me fix it!” she whined.

“Jenny, enough. Come, now. You need to stay away from her,” Jaime said. As much as I wanted to help the small girl, I knew it was better for me to let her go with Jaime for now. I was really hoping to avoid any more problems with Jaime, and this was turning into a recipe for disaster.

“But why? She can fix the stains because her old job!” Jenny explained poorly.

“Jenny, it’s okay. I don’t think your sister is mad anymore. You should run along with her,” I said. I tried to push her towards her sister, but she gripped my hand tighter and refused to move.

“No! I want to fix it. I want you to help me fix it!” she said fiercely. She definitely had the same determined attitude as her older sister.

“Jenny, I said enough,” Jaime almost screamed at her. Her face was full of rage now. Jenny stepped closer to me, her eyes watering again.

“Jaime, I really don’t think this is necessary,” I said.

“You don’t need to speak,” she snapped at me. Jenny cowered into my side. I was beginning to feel like this wasn’t uncommon for the poor girl around the sister she clearly idolized. The way she was speaking was making Calli angry in my head.

“Jenny was upset, and I did nothing but try to help her. You can be upset about me being Cullen and Calder’s mate, but you will not take your anger out on your little sister,” I said stoically.

Her eyes narrowed at me. “Give me my sister, now,” she said.

“She doesn’t seem to want to go with you right now. I think maybe I will take her to have some tea and cookies with the Luna. Don’t worry, we’ll be sure to get her home later,” I said resolutely. Jenny was clinging to me now, scared of the cat fight between her sister and me.

“Don’t think I won’t handle you just because she is standing here,” Jaime threatened.

“You will not lay a finger on me,” I warned her. There was motion behind us on the stairs. I turned to see a furious Calder coming down the stairs. He stopped behind me. He locked eyes with Jaime for a moment.

“Don’t be late for dinner,” she said to Jenny before turning on her heel and walking away. I let out a shaky breath as she walked away. Calder turned me around, Jenny still clinging to me. His eyes looked me up and down.

“What was that?” he asked gently.

I shook my head. “It’s over now,” I said. Jenny peered up at Calder and he looked down at her.

“Are you okay, Jenny?” he asked her softly. She nodded her head. “Why was your sister upset?”

“I spilled drink on her dress. But then Remi told me she would help me fix it, but sissy was still angry,” she told him. He looked at me for a moment and I gave him a weak smile.

“Well, she is probably just having a bad day. I was coming down to find a snack, would you like to come with Remi and me? There might be some cookies in the kitchen,” he said to her. She nodded her head. It was beyond sweet of him not to spoil her image of her older sister simply because he didn’t like her.

He reached out his hand and she grabbed it, still holding onto mine. I smiled at him. “Are you okay, baby?” he linked. I nodded at him. He gave Jenny a bright smile and we all went to search for some cookies.
