Story: Prophecy of the Wolf
“I know it’s a lot to take in,” Tannin said. “Finding out that we’re wolves must be overwhelming, and I’m sure this bond has been making you feel crazy and confused.”
I nodded. “Yes, it has.”
“For two wolves to mate to the same woman has never been heard of among our people,” Tannin continued. “We can’t explain how or why it happened, and it’s a struggle for Jax and me to know how to handle it, so we decided to leave the choice up to you.”
My breath hitched. Surely, they didn’t want me to choose between them.
Jax’s thumb began to rub lightly over my arm. “Our proposal is that the three of us indulge this bond as nature intended. Together.”
“Together?” Blood rose to the surface of my skin everywhere, making me feel hot and a little lightheaded.
They wanted... me and both of them? At the same time? Okay, now I knew I was dreaming. This couldn’t be real!
“Only if you want to,” Tannin reassured me softly. “We’ll both understand if you can’t see past our differences or forgive us for our actions. Neither of us is going to force you to do anything you don’t want to do. What happens between us, if anything, is completely up to you.”
My hormones were racing rapidly now, making every inch of me burn for them. It was all I could do not to throw myself at either one of them right this instant.
Thankfully, I was able to hold onto the last remaining thread of my rational functions.
“I-I need some time to think about this,” I said slowly.
Longing pinched Jax’s features, but he nodded. “Of course.” He withdrew his hand, and the absence of his warm touch made me feel strangely destitute—like I never wanted him to not touch me ever again.
“Take your time. We’ll respect whatever you decide.” Tannin did the same, and though my heart screamed for his touch to be restored, I was grateful for the chance to clear my head.
I rose and made a beeline for my room. This was all too much.
This day had been a cruel emotional whirlwind. So much flirting and teasing, so much rejection followed by amazing kisses and touches. And now they were laying themselves before me with open arms, offering the greatest temptation I’d ever known!
Wicked, powerful Jax, and sweet, gentle Tannin, both touching me together, kissing me together, teaching my body all the ways to feel pleasure together. It was a dream come true. And my insides ached painfully, blissfully, to experience every sinful thing they had to offer.
But I’d spent the entire day plotting their banishment. And they were still my enemies. Did their confession really change anything? I still didn’t know if I could trust them. My way forward wasn’t certain, and I hated that.
I had a big decision to make, and my whole future depended on me making the right one.
