TRISTAN:

Dahlly was behaving strangely… Just now, did I hear her request correctly?...

“Show me your wolf… Let’s mate together in your wolf form.”

“Dahlia,” I said, unable to hide the surprise in my voice and perhaps in my whole face too. I thought she’ll end up laughing and telling me it was all a joke, but she went closer to my right ear and swiveled her tongue while biting on it lightly.

“Let me see him… Let me see your wolf.”

“Dahlia… Are you sick?” I ran my hand into her forehead, but it was useless since my hand was already wet.

Dahlly’s flushed face came into my view again, her seductive lashes fluttering beautifully. “Don’t you want it?... Don’t you want to make love with me?”

Damn it, of course I did! Her sultry voice alone was making me weak all over as she spoke.

I have not held her in my arms like this since the day Arthur had taken over. I knew I had hurt her enough to avoid any intimate moments with me, so why?... Why was she requesting this from me now?...

If I do as she asked, I’ll definitely lose control. What if I end up hurting her even more? Worse, what if I ended up showing her the true nature of my wolves?

‘F*ck you and your secrets,’ Arthur shouted inside my mind, ‘Why must we suffer just because you cannot be honest with her?’

Just as I had expected, it was my dark wolf who had started to lose his head at the excitement of hearing our mate’s request.

‘Arthur is right. Why are you fighting the nature of your true existence?... Did you not know that giving ourselves to our mate was the natural law of our kind?’

They started to bicker and to fight inside me some more while I was trying to think straight, all the while debating what to do…

A few weeks before, during the banquet, I specifically invited my sister over to help me with my dilemma.

I had no choice. I spoke honestly to Livia about discovering that Dahlia was my fated mate.

“She’s what?! Are you sure?”

I could only nod my head towards her.

“Tsk! I knew it! I was sure this plan of Samalah would turn out to be a big failure…”

Livia was the same age as my Dahlia – nineteen, and she was also very beautiful. I look at her, and I was instantly reminded of our mother, the one I lost to the Talandor monsters.

I had only found out about her a few days after I came to Talandor, thanks to Samalah’s help. After learning of her true background, I, Samalah, and she began to concoct a plan to bring down the very people who had killed those whom we loved.

Livia was vehemently against me seducing Duke Hurst’s daughter to inflict pain, and after knowing about my discovery so far, she was against it more than ever.

“How about Samalah? Does she know about this already?”

I shook my head. “She suspects I had fallen in love with Dahlia, but I didn’t tell her that she is my actual mate.”

“How much does Lady Hurst truly know about you at this point then? How sure are we that she hasn’t discovered everything through your mind-link yet?”

“She still does not know much… But lying to her is getting harder and harder by the day,” I confessed. “Not to mention that she really has a kind heart, which makes me feel doubly wretched when I lie to her…”

Livia sighed. “So, that’s why you need my powers this badly?”

Again, I could only nod to her.

She was right. I concocted the idea of the banquet to bring my sister home on the very night that she turned nineteen - the day her powers were at its strongest. Together with my powers, we can use it to re-establish the spell I had casted so that I could prevent the powers of the fated mate mark taking over me.

Despite growing up without the knowledge of who she really was, Livia was smart enough to have kept the fact that she had two wolves within her a secret, even to the person who had adopted her – Count Jeteris. Surprisingly, she had also cultivated her powers by herself even without any prior knowledge that she was a Shadow Rune wolf.

“You’re going to counter the fated mate mark with a spell? Do you think that will really work?”

“Probably… I’ve got no other choice, so it has to work…”

“Alright… I will help you, but you have to promise me one thing,” she said. “At the end of this… You have to let that girl go.”

My heart stilled. I opened my mouth to answer her, but I cannot say it.

“What? Why can’t you promise it,” Livia responded, her eyes rounding up in concern, which was very refreshing considering she was usually detached from any emotions.

“I don’t think I can… I’m falling in love with her, Livia…”

That was the simple truth… There was no use denying it…

Thoughts about Dahlia filled my head when she’s not with me, and when she’s beside me, her entire self was all I could ever think of that it felt like I was going insane from wanting her!

And right now, I was going doubly insane!

“Tristan,” Dahlia’s pleading voice came back to me. “Tristan, won’t you show him to me, hmm? Can I not see him?...”

“Dahlia,” I pleaded, “Don’t make me do it… Don’t tempt me like this.”

Every muscle in my body was beginning to stiffen from the sheer want of her flesh. Her scent of cherries and honeyed milk was making me lose whatever sanity I had in my being.

“Let me see your wolf… I just want to see him. Call him for me…”

She began to wrap her legs around my waist. My senses were heightened to the extreme.

Suddenly, she stroke the shaft of my manhood from the base going upwards.

“Please…”

F*ck… The sensation was more than I could handle. My body felt like it was boiling from the core.

“Alright,” I grunted. “You asked for it… Just this once.”

I channeled Albus to take over. Arthur rained a thousand and one curses on me, threatening to break loose from the body that held us all together.

As I shifted, enormous amounts of water overflowed. I began to cover the whole bath tub.

My Dahlia was pinned underneath my fur. She was so tiny that I could almost scoop her from her waist up with just one hand, which I did.

I snatched the bath towel I had prepared with one hand, wrapped it around my wife, and carried her back to our bedroom in my half-wolf form.

I put her gently on the bed and watched as she gently rubbed the towel around her damp and glorious body, her immaculate long legs peeking in between the damned cloth.

I only watched her like this, and I could already feel myself burn up in delirium and desire…

All the while, she was looking at me straight in the eye. Suddenly, she stood from the bed, and let the towel fall on the floor, giving me a full view of her angelic and bare beauty.

Dahlia hugged me. “Come to bed with me… Let go of everything tonight…”

She did not need to tell me twice… I had no plans of keeping any inhibitions from her now that I had possessed her in my arms again.
