He asks her, she drops her gaze and looks to the ground whimpering, my heart shatters when I realise that means no.
“She’s right, she isn’t our mate, she’s something though”
Gunner whispers sadly. At that she turns and walks back towards the house whimpering sadly, I look back up at Desmond with tears in my eyes. He looked shocked, confused and honestly a little hurt. That alone filled me with guilt
He shakes himself slightly, putting his hand out for me to take, I grab it but as we touch I’m struck with the same feeling, he immediately let’s go looking to his hand and back at me
“What the f**k is happening”
He whispers, I shake my head staring at my hand.
“Whatever is happening it’s happening to all 3 of us”
I whisper, looking back up at him. He looks conflicted but ultimately he sighs closing his eyes
“She wants to go for a run, do you want to run with us? See if we can’t clear up this mess or understand it even”
“Yes”
Gunner says before I even have a chance to say no. I roll my eyes as he smirks at me for answering so fast.
“I’ll go get her”
He whispers, grabbing my hand and he pulls me off the ground. Then he turns and walks back towards his house where Heartly sat watching us.
—————-
Heartly’s POV
My entire world had stopped, his perfect green eyes were drilling into me, looking straight through me and right into my soul.
I just stand there watching them both as they talk, so confused yet heartbroken. I could see the pain on both of there faces, hope felt miserable. She wanted him too but I had no idea why it was happening or even how it was happening.
We could feel something, it wasn’t a mate bond but it was a bond. One I didn’t understand.
I can’t take my eyes off the man in front of me and the pull I have towards him in my chest, something about him made every hair on my body stand to attention.
Des turns to look at me smiling, lifting his hands he starts to sign
“You want him to run with us?”
He asks me, I nod my head, excitement fills my soul.
“Maybe I could have both of them?”
Hope asks, I just stare at her in disbelief. From the moment she arrived on my 16th birthday she has done nothing but beg me to go live with Des, she has been obsessed with him and now suddenly not only was she obsessed with des but gavin now too.
None of this made any sense? None of it added up but I couldn’t deny the bond we shared and I definitely couldn’t deny the love I already have for him.
Hope walks back towards des, waiting for him to change. He pats my head making hope chirps at him, he rolls his eyes
“For the record Your mine”
He tells me, pointing his finger at my face, the words were like a knife straight through my soul. Hope whimpers as our heart shatters, dropping her head.
We had already committed to Desmond, our life was a commitment to him and this bond, whatever it was didn’t change the one I had with Desmond. But it did add an extra layer of complications because like it or not I do want them both.
Desmond grabs our chin and he lifts our face so we could see his lips
“Whatever this is, we will figure it out but tonight is about you. Your almost 18 and I don’t want this to ruin it. Let’s just run ok?”
He asks me, I nod my head even though I wanted to scream at him that I didn’t care about my birthday. He closes his eyes taking a breath then he pulls off his jeans and he shifts.
As his feet touch the ground my heartrate picks up, his thick golden coat covers his body, he was a beautiful burned orange gold, absolutely stunning and so so big.
nudging us with his long large nose his eyes twinkle brightly in the evening sky. They were almost glowing as the late evening sun hit them, the wisdom and love radiating from them straight into my soul was so obvious, my stomach flips in excitement.
Whimpering he nudges me some more before turning to look at gavin, I turn with him, resting our head on his large shoulders and we wait. Looking at gavin, waiting for him to shift.
“I wonder if he feels it too”
Hope asks me
“I don’t understand it”
I whisper back
“Me either, but there is something between us all, I can feel it, I’m just not sure if Desmond can feel it too”
We wait and watch as gavin takes the shirt off his body and I can’t help but laugh when both hope and deek bend their heads to watch his muscles ripple while he moves.
“Jez talk about an audience”
He snaps, hope chirps at him making him smile. At that he drops the shirt on the ground and he pulls on his belt, as he does deek leans in, watching me watch him.
“I don’t mind, actually I don’t mind even a little”
Gavin says out loud, clearly talking to Desmond
“Well deek obviously wants to watch so why can’t she?”
He snaps unbuckling his trousers, hope growls glaring back at deek, making gavin laugh
“Told you”
He smirks at Desmond, Desmond growls rolling his eyes and shaking his head like he was tired of our behaviour. But I couldn’t help it, my eyes were trained on him.
He drops his trousers and boxers at the same time, as he does our jaw drops open, right between his legs lay his huge, thick, hard c**k. I had not seen many, mainly just on tv and even then it was for half a second but this d**k was big, hard and so f*****g appealing.
“What is happening to us, I thought we weren’t meant to find anyone but our mate attractive”
I cry to hope
“I don’t know but your voice is ruining the show, shushh”
Hope snaps back at me just as gavin lunges forward, shifting into a huge brown wolf, as he does the wolf takes off running towards us, bounding across the meadow and stopping right beside me.
My stomach flips as he moans and whimpers, nudging me with his nose then he does the same to deek, deek doesn’t seem to mind his attention, nudging him back and licking his eyeball.
“They are so cute”
“They ain’t cute they are hot, smoking f*****g hot”
Hope snaps back
“Why is this happening?”
“I don’t know, let’s just run, get rid of this nervous energy”
