Episode 4

Liv narrating:

My heart raced as I felt a warm breath against my neck. I knew one thing: it was mating season, and they had no control over themselves. I felt someone press their body against mine, something hard against my thighs. Then, someone began kissing my neck.

I started to feel overwhelmed, and for a moment, I was lost, surrendering to the pleasure of two men touching me. A small moan escaped my lips, even though I knew I shouldn’t be enjoying this. My wolf was getting excited too. Without a doubt, she wanted more.

"Liv" Ryder sighed, and I felt the impact of his lips on mine. In that instant, I knew I had to do something, as both were thinking with their desire, not their heads.

Max, who had his hands dug into my waist, slid them inside my underwear. While Max was doing that, I felt Ryder grab my breast, squeezing hard. He groaned as he wrapped his hands around my neck, pulling me closer.

"No!" I shouted as my senses returned. That was when I pushed their bodies away from me.

"Is there a problem, Liv? Don’t you like this?" I felt that same hand wrap around my waist, pulling me closer, this time with more force.

I knew I had to think quickly. Their massive bodies were in front of me, and I realized the only escape was to slip beneath them and flee swiftly. Bracing myself against the wall, I slid down to my knees and then crawled out.

I didn’t wait a second; I got up as fast as I could and ran as quickly as my legs would allow.

"Hey!" Max growled. Before long, I started hearing footsteps behind me: they were chasing me!

The energy still hadn’t returned, making it hard to see, but I ran as if my life depended on it. Maybe, by the next day, when the mating season was over, I could tell them that whatever ideas they had in their heads, I had no interest.

I couldn’t believe that, after all my years of waiting, my partners were them! I was furious, but I had no time to be angry. All I needed to do was escape.

With my eyes half-closed in the darkness, the moonlight shining through a crack helped me. I spotted a door. Without thinking, I rushed inside, locking it immediately.

It didn’t take long for the energy to return, and I sighed in relief. I looked around the room where I was. My heart began to race again when I realized where I had arrived. I had been in that room before, but that wasn’t the only problem. It was Callum's room!

I recalled the incident from the day before and how furious he had been. I knew I had to act fast and get out of there as quickly as possible.

The shower that had been running suddenly turned off. I ran to the door but stopped when a fragrance hit my nose. It wasn’t his usual scent. I felt the same sensation I had when inhaling the new aromas of Max and Ryder: a feeling of floating in paradise and a heat that seemed to pulse between my legs.

I snapped out of the trance immediately. There was no way the three of them could be my partners! Was this a death sentence or something like that?

I stood still, wanting to confirm if my suspicions were true. He emerged from the bathroom shirtless, wearing joggers that sat low on his hips, exposing his entire abdomen. His defined muscles caught my gaze, and I had to blink quickly to pull my mind away.

"Partner!" my wolf exclaimed, buzzing with excitement, confirming my suspicions. She was enjoying this, but goodness, I wasn’t!

He had just dried off, but as soon as he saw me, he froze.

"Jesus Christ." he murmured softly, astonishment etched on his face.

He knew!

I swallowed hard. It was mating season, and I had just walked straight into Callum's room as if handing myself over to his will.

"And... I... I..." my tone came out shaky as he watched me. No words came from my tongue. There was only one thing on my mind: run!

I quickly turned around, unlocking the door, hoping it would swing open for me to leave, but nothing happened.

Please, just kill me already!

I looked at him. This time, the disbelief that had been in his eyes had transformed into amusement as he watched me try to escape from his room.

My hands trembled as I repeatedly tried to open the door.

“You’re just going to mess everything up,” he sighed, and then I heard him approach.

I spun around. The mischievous smile on his face made me swallow hard. I knew exactly what he was thinking, and it was the same thing Max and Ryder had thought when they saw me.

I pointed to the door.

“I need to leave now!”

“But you just got here,” he frowned. “Wouldn’t it be rude of me to send you away? And besides, you don't want me to send you away, because you don't want to leave.”

My breathing quickened with each step he took closer.

I had to exit the room and retreat further inside, pressing my back against the wall, keeping my gaze fixed on him in case he tried to act quickly.

“I really want to go.”

“What a shame,” he smirked. “I still don’t want you to leave, Liv.”

His eyes darkened, and he approached me with determination.

“What are you going to do to me?”

“Pat you on the back,” he replied sarcastically, followed by a mocking laugh. “What the hell do you think I would do with you?”

He growled.

“We’re in heat season, and we can have some fun.”

“I... I don’t want to have fun.”

He pointed his finger at me and said, “My house, my rules.”

I realized I had hit a dead end when my legs collided with the structure of his bed, and gravity pulled me down onto the king-size mattress. I wanted to leave as quickly as possible, but he pinned me to the bed, his hands blocking my sides before I could even blink.

His lips curved into a playful smile as he eyed mine. My heart raced.

“Now you’re mine,” he growled, leaning in closer.

I screamed, shutting my eyes tightly and clenching my fist. I expected his lips to crash into mine, but instead, I felt him drop down beside me.

I shot up immediately, watching him settle into the bed. I thought he was going to kiss me. Was he just playing with me?

“Goodnight, Liv.” he murmured as he made himself more comfortable, leaving me stunned.

“At least open the door so I can leave,” I lightly tapped him.

He laughed.

“With Max and Ryder in heat? Keeping you here is a favor I’m doing, or do you want your two holes to stretch before the heat ends?”

I swallowed hard.

“So, can I sleep here?”

He said nothing, and I had to silently agree.

He suddenly turned to me.
