Grim's POV.
Pearl collapsed on top of me, breathing heavily as I stroked her hair softly. Soon, her heart beat slowed and she drifted into sleep, snoring lightly.
"Someone is in love," Nathaniel teased with a smirk while Griffin scoffed as he walked into the bathroom, probably to freshen up.
Magnus relaxed against the wall, lost in thought as he wore his T-shirt, water dripping from his hair.
Jaxton sat on the couch, staring at both pearl and I calmly, his eyes not giving anything away as usual.
'The bastard.' I thought within and adjusted myself properly on the bed so Pearl could lay comfortably on my chest.
Nathaniel went after Griffin and in an hour, we were all cleaned up and dressed. Pearl was still on the bed, fast asleep, looking all desirable with her naked body on display.
I brought a wet towel closer to wipe our semen off her body, admiring our handiwork. I had no problem sharing her with them because I always knew or suspected I would share her at some point.
Pearl Whitmore. The one girl who doesn't look at me like I was some damaged goods. Even my parents were wary of me because I have always been wild from little.
I would do anything to protect her. I let her go at some point because I thought it was the best thing for her and now?
My heart tightened. The sparks were no longer obvious in her dark eyes, they were now empty.
What exactly happened after all these years?
"Gittens wants to meet." Jaxton said as he packed his white hair into a bun, leaving some strands out to cover an eye.
More than 10 years of knowing this dude and I still don't get what his deal about being mysterious was.
"Why and where?" Griffith asked as he folded his hands across his chest.
"Our usual meeting sport."Magnus replied, scrolling through his phone.
I let out a sigh, having this weird feeling running through me. I couldn't quite place my fingers on it so I just shrugged.
What could he want though?
I stood up from the bed, dropping the towel in the laundry basket, before washing my hands and exiting the room with the brothers.
"Whoa! Is that a 2025 Audi RS7!" Jaxton exclaimed, as we walked into the garage, jumping forward to run a hand over my new, red car.
I pressed the key button and the car doors popped open with a hiss, revealing the blood-red leather seats.
"Nice, man. Chic and it's your signature color." Nathaniel slapped me on the back, before joining Jaxton to admire the interior of the vehicle.
For the first time in awhile, I saw a smile cross Jaxton's lips and almost smiled myself.
How could I have forgotten that he was a car freak?
I walked over to the driver's seat about to pop in when Jaxton snatched the car keys from my hand and pushed me backwards, so he could get in instead.
My mouth opened slightly but then I just ignored it and walked over to the passenger. The others sat at the back and Jaxton roared the car to life.
My head swelled with pride as my vehicle moved with great speed, Jaxton handling it like the beast he was.
"Your company made a splendid product yet again." Griffin complimented and I fought the urge not to grin as the others chimed in as well.
My family owned car companies across the world despite, us being based in Greece. It was a thing of both honour and pride for the Xenakis' house.
"I would like to order the latest product you have." Magnus leaned to whisper into my ears and I nodded, bringing out my phone, opening a catalogue for him to pick from.
We all began to discuss, catching up on old times, touching every topic except for Pearl and what happened back there at their residence.
No one made a note to bring it up either and in a way, I was grateful.
Soon Jaxton drove into an old basketball park, that was now abandoned. It used to be where we practiced. Looking at it now, I could hear the rechos of our laughter.
Before we all got out of the car, I saw Gittens already waiting by the court, a ball in his hand.
"Welcome, old teammates." He began as he walked closer to us, the side of his lips curling up.
The wary feeling grew stronger and for some unknown reason, I began to sweat. I turned to look at the others and noticed they were also sweating.
Their expressions twisting in discomfort. Just then, we all growled at the same time, our wolves struggling to take over.
I clenched my hands into fists, dropping heavily to my knees as the most delicious scent ever, hit my nose, my heart soaring in excitement.
'What was this? Pearl wasn't here so why this reaction?' I pondered, feeling suffocated.
The other's eyes began to glow as my wolf, Dregan began to flip around in my head, excited.
"What are you doing to us?" Magnus roared, his nails digging into the sand at our feet. It was then I looked forward and noticed Gittens wasn't affected.
Rather he was leaning against a swing, obviously enjoying what we were going through.
I knew the bastard was up to something.
When Gittens refused to answer but rather decided to play with the ring on his fingers;
"Answer us, damn it!" Griffin snapped, obviously in pain.
"Chill Alphas. I ain't doing anything, our mate is." He said and despite the pain, Jaxton chuckled and I wanted to join in, but my head was pounding like hell.
It was impossible for us to have mates, the prophecy didn't even state it.
Dregan was restless and that was unlike him. He kept pushing for us to transform or for me to rail forward, especially when the scent grew stronger.
Gittens pointed to a direction and we all turned to look, only to see another of our past walking towards us.
Just then;
"Mate." We all growled, getting up and moving towards her.
It was all we were being controlled or rather, our wolves were controlling us for the first time.
I tried fighting against it when the pain hit me out of nowhere, like I was being cut open.
"You only be in agony if you try to refuse the bond." Gittens explained and I screamed, unable to stop myself from wrapping her into a protective hug.
The others joined in as well and I watched as Lilith smirked in satisfaction, knowing that Pearl was going to be more than heartbroken by this.
I wasn't wrong because the next morning when I opened the door to the Director's office, walking in with the boys, I saw her laughing like crazy but in her eyes, were unshed tears.
