Without exchanging words, I darted forward, already choosing a target. Halfway, I changed into my wolf, and the forest soon became a blur as we chased our prey. I knew I would never stand a-chance against Kyle and Zeke, but I should at least try. I could feel the


    adrenaline coursing through my veins, my instincts guiding every move. This was no ordinary hunt.


    We were bonding as mates. My tongue rolled out in excitement as I wasn''t so far behind my mates. It was as if they had purposely slowed down for just me. I could also feel the purpledy underneath my skin as she shimmered and added speed to my heavy limbs. We closed in on the deer with the determination of getting the biggest chunk out of it. That was the winner''s size. I was moved to get that for myself and myself alone.


    "You can''t and won''t. Did you think I was going to let you take such a beautiful deer? No. It''s mine!" Kyle roared like the animal he was, while Zeke observed with a satisfied smile.


    "From the look on your face, let me guess... he said something you don''t agree with."


    I groaned. Zeke would save me if he was in my head too.


    Why were the moon goddess and the elderly one so wicked? They were sisters, but they had their own way of frustrating you to the brink of death. I didn''t see both my mates crouched low and taking calcted steps towards my prey. I totally missed it. "He ims he would get the price." Imented, stopping when I realized what a fool I was. I had stopped running while my mates grabbed the deer for themselves. "Hey!


    Wait for me!"


    "Nope." Was Kyle''s single reply as he dragged the carcass of the deer.


    "That could be a deer shifter." I walked closer to the carcass, pretending I was possessed by some other spirit.


    "Imagine eating an extinct creature... As Alphas, you would be ruining lives."


    They both froze. Yeah, I was right; my mates were still as dumb as f*vck. How could they believe?


    "It''s still mine!" Kyle yelled, grabbing the carcass against Zeke. He took a big chunk, leaving nothing for Zeke and me. "You forget I am in your head, and secondly, you didn''t use your words. You were speaking to me the whole time!" "What?" I shrieked like a mad woman, shifting into my original form. "Zeke, why did you stop?"


    Zeke had to transform so he would answer me. "Kyle stopped, so I stopped." Zeke shrugged, picking anotherrge part for himself. Both of them walked close to me, dropping it at my feet.


    "What what are you doing?" I stuttered, wondering what type of service they were rendering to me by killing my prey, cleanly cutting the parts, and offering it to me almost on the same spot.


    "You are our mate. We are doing this for you." Zeke said. He gave a quick nod to his brother, who had shifted into his original form.


    "Did both of you n this again?" I folded my arms across my chest. They should know by now that I do not like surprises. It always leaves me insecure, instead of the usual excitement they''d expect. I felt left out, and so nning stuff without me was just like leaving me out of it.


    You could tell me, and I''ll still pretend to be surprised and give you the reaction you want.


    "Not really. It just happened spontaneously." Kyle smiled.


    "Spontaneously? I do hope there won''t be spontaneous..." I wasn''t even allowed toplete my words.


    "Oh, there will be more. You hate it; we love it. That''s why we are true mates."


    I nced at Zeke, gauging his reaction. "Why would you say that?" I asked Kyle through the mind link. "You are ruining everything."


    Before Kyle could reply, Zeke kneeled to the floor, bringing out a sharp knife from the insides of his pockets. He came quite prepared for the hunt, didn''t he? He dragged the carcass over to my side and began cutting and separating the fur from the meat. "So, mind linking, huh? That''s quite rare. It usually happens between true mates, but not everyone experiences it." He looked at me. "I am not experiencing it."


    Something was wrong with the link between me and Zeke.


    It wasn''t me; it was him. He hasn''t opened uppletely to me yet, and that was blocking the mind link.


    "You know, I was speaking to Beta Brooke the other day. I told him mind-linking was possible." He shed me a small smile. "Beta Brooke was so against it. He said it had deathly consequences. We all heard about couples who did it. They died a few dayster. Right, Naya?" I gulped. "Yeah."


    "It''s still hard to believe my brother is speaking to my mates in her head currently. I can''t believe it." He sliced another b of meat. "It''s surreal to me, and I can''t im it''s real until proof."


    My eyes widened at what he was implying. His ears suddenly perked up. "I hear the sound of a small stream; let''s go over."


    I nodded. We all quietly followed him with so many questions buzzing in our minds. Was Zeke jealous of Kyle and me? Was Kyle the jealous one? What was up with his many talks today? Zeke was naturally a man of few words, so hearing him say a lot of things made me alert. It may not have had an effect on Kyle because they were brothers, but even I could see the surprise in Kyle''s eyes.


    His brother was behaving unusually ever since I told him how real mind-linking was.


    "What''s Zeke thinking?" I asked Kyle through mind linking.


    Kyle shook his head, telling me to stop talking to him as he tried to understand his brother''s behavior. We closed in on the small stream soon enough. I sighed, feeling parched from the high adrenaline.


    "Can I drink it?" I asked, running towards the water.


    "Yes." Zeke replied.


    I was already drinking the water. I exhaled my happiness.


    "Good water." At the other end, Zeke dunked the good part of the meat into the water, wasting away the blood and dirt.


    It was my first time seeing this.


    "The hunters must do that every time they go hunting. No wonder the meat tastes so soft and good." I mused. "Fresh water from the stream makes it tender enough to chew. It gives it an unusual taste too." Zeke continued.


    "What are we doing here, Zeke?" Kyle suddenly asked, halting the awkward situation.


    Dang it!


    Zeke dropped the meat to the side, raising his head to look at me. It seems like he made a decision to do something. It was heated and filled with desire. How could a man change so much within a second? He was truly a man of expression. The best he kept was the poker face. He got up slowly, excluding grace. "I want to test the mind link. I want to know if it''s strong enough. I do not want my brother to die of a fried brain."


    I raised my hands in defense. "I can assure you, I am worried about it."


    Zeke took a step closer. "Kyle, tell her something you have always wanted to say. I want to see it in her eyes."


    I red at Kyle, daring him to say something lewd, and he did just that."


    "I want to f*vck you, Naya."


    I gasped at his direct tone. It was as if my body waited for his words as my clit throbbed with need. It slowly inched towards a desperation to be filled by both their c*cks. "Kyle, don''t..." I had totally forgotten Zeke''s eyes were piercing through my soul. "I am tired of walking on eggshells around you." Kyle continued.


    "You were?" I also continued, using my words.


    "Let me guess again." Zeke interrupted. "He was telling you what we both want."


    My head snapped towards Kyle, who was smirking wickedly.


    "He told me I would get my turn soon. It''s my turn, and he is here to watch." Kyle added, mming his lips against mine.


    He slowly rocked his c*ck against my mold as we were all without clothes. It made it easier for him to ess my wetness with both hands. He patted my legs, plunging two fingers into them.


    Before I could say Jack, Zeke was behind me like a solid rock. His hands trailed my abdomen and my belly button. I gasped when he moved upward to my breasts. My gasp had apparently given Kyle ess to my mouth as he sucked on my tongue harder. Through the haze, my backnded on something rough, but not rough enough to tear my skin. Kyle''s hands went under my left thigh, and his other hand continued fingering me in and out.


    Zeke wrapped hisrge hands over my breasts without touching my n*ipples, nearly driving me mad. His hands would inch closer to them, then he would pull away, fumbling and squeezing like they had a life of their own.


    His hot breath ran a shiver down my spine.


    "Part those legs for me, baby." Kyle murmured, raising my left thigh to his waist. I knew what he wanted, so I wrapped both legs tightly around his waist, giving him more open ess to my wetness.


    He slipped in without further ado, and with a groan, he pushed in and out.


    I mmed back, feeling his balls p against my clit, further intensifying my pleasure. I screamed as I felt myselfing closer to the edge. "Kyle, Kyle, Kyle." I chanted incoherently.


    He mmed in and out of me with groan after groan and heavy grunts. Zeke only watched, just like he said. He rubbed and twisted my n**ipples, and when I screamed, he would pull away and resume his actions all over again. It was a cycle of never ending pleasure.


    "Please, please..." I pleaded.


    Zeke nipped at my ear. "Please what?"


    "Please..." I couldn''t say anything as Kyle continuously pounded into me while Zeke abused my n**ipples. "I... want you to go faster." I screamed to the heavens when Kyle did not say anything but heeded mymands.


    He pounded into me with inhuman strength. His wolf must have taken over. This wasn''t the Kyle I knew. This was a shadow.


    I closed my eyes, taking him all in.
