Unmarked Mates

Chapter 21: "Every cloud has a silver lining"

"They were smuggling Red Venom, do you know what is Red Venom ?" I ask.

"The poison which forced werewolves into an almost instant feral shift, they become the bloodthirst monsters who will attack and kill everything that is moving, and they die hours after the shift very painfully. The wolf who will be found guilty of purchasing or selling Red Venom will be executed instantly and his pack will be disbanded regardless of circumstances, The Werewolf Council is extremely strict with that," he says sadly squeezing my hand with his.

"They gave it to my brother and three of their own, the wolves under the influence of Red Venom are also much stronger than normal. But Luke died at my hand, I was the one who had to take his life. My own brother, my kind and brave brother...''

I have to take a couple of harsh breaths before I'm able to speak again.

"I got into a coma as the result of the fighting, when I woke up Madison was next to me so maybe that's why I didn't die. But she lied, she told everybody that she knew nothing, but I got there before the rest of my pack and before Luke submitted to the poison he managed to mindlink me that she was the one who had poisoned him. She claimed she had thought that they had been smuggling just some drugs and had had no idea that they had been fatal, she only thought that Luke would've slept and she and her rogues would've managed to get away." I managed to whisper.

"And do you believe her?"

"I don't care if she knew or not, the result was the same, my brother was dead and the pack was at risk. She should've been executed but Natasha knew that this incident had to be covered very quietly or the pack would be in danger and was sure that killing Madison would kill Drake and in consequence also me. You must not tell anyone no matter what, do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand"

"I rejected her and it pushed Drake so deep into my mind that I lost contact with him, but honestly I didn't care. At that very moment, all I wanted was to die. She was banished and left and during a few next years, I reached the total bottom. I was still feeling her and I kept myself almost all the time drunk because of it. Luke was gone, Drake was gone, my mate was gone and one day Natasha came to my house to tell me that she and my uncle had decided that if I hadn't pulled myself together they would've given Trist for the adoption in a different pack and that's when I understood that I had only him and no matter what I can't lose him either. Thankfully he doesn't remember much from that time, but that threat forced me to live. And now Madison is again here, and I will not let her ruin Trist's life no matter what."

"It wasn't your fault, Julius," Danny says.

"It was, I brought Madison to my and Luke's life, I failed to notice what was happening, I didn't get there on time... I killed him... I killed him... I killed him..." I sob into Danny's chest.

Danny POV

SMUT Warning

I put a blanket on Julius, he went to sleep during crying. I kept repeating to him that everything would be alright but truth be told I'm not so sure. I just hope, I really hope that Madison is here because she wants to get connected with Trist again, but honestly, I don't believe her. I don't want Julius or Trist to suffer more no matter what.

And I wonder about her feeling towards Julius, is she here also for him?

I turn off the lights and let Julius sleep as I walk upstairs to my bedroom and prepare to also take some rest. The fact that Julius is downstairs makes me feel safe, I think for the first time since I came to live here. I lie down and start to doze off, I'm asleep very fast.

But I open my eyes in the night because someone is in my room, I sit a little scared and see a man standing in the door frame. It's dark but it's a full moon so I can see him in the faint moonlight.

"Julius?" I say as he slowly comes closer to my bed, he is naked.

He sits on my bed and raises his hand to gently caress my face with it, I feel his fingers in my hair as he whispers "Beautiful" in a very strange, raspy voice. I look into his eyes and notice that they are dark which means:

"Drake?" I ask softly and he smiles at me.

How the hell is this possible? Drake can move around without Julius's knowledge but I've been sure that is only possible in his wolf form. He's never been in charge in this form before.

He moves his hand down my neck and towards my chest, his touch on my naked skin makes me shiver in delight, I don't dare to protest, I don't want to protest. I move to lie on my back as Drake climbs on top of me and leans to touch my lips with his. I'm more than eager to let his tongue into my mouth. He is so gentle and so careful as he sucks and bites on my lips and lets his tongue explore every inch of my mouth. His fingertips roam on my torso and down towards my hips.

He stops kissing me and moves a little away to gently pull down my pajama pants, I feel so good I don't want to move no matter what when he parts my legs and starts pleasuring me with his mouth. I don't even try to muffle my moans of pleasure, I tangled my fingers in his hair breathing hard and hoping that this night will never end, that I will always feel the weight of his body on me. Brandon has never touched me like this, everything Drake or Julius does is so different, so... pure.

I cum into his mouth and he slowly starts kissing his way up my stomach and next torso, he sucks on my nipples and I wriggle under him in total ecstasy whimpering in delight. He sits and starts sucking his fingers looking at me as I lie with my legs spread very wide feeling not even an ounce of shame or embarrassment.

"So, beautiful" he whispers again as his fingers touch my entrance.

He leans closer and starts sucking and nibbling on my neck distracting me as his fingers do their magic inside me, I grip the bedframe feeling tears running down my face as he starts pushing his erection inside me. No pain, nor sting I think I've never been so ready and so horny as I'm now. I feel worshipped, he touches me as if I am something sacred. Is this what making love feels like?

"Mine, mine not his, you never his, always mine," Drake says looking into my eyes.

He moves his hips gently, hitting my special spot every time, pleasure runs through me as I wrap my arms around his tors bringing him closer. I feel his mouth sucking my mating mark and it feels as if he was sucking the poison out of me. He pulls out and turns me around so I lie on my stomach, once again I feel him entering me but this time he moves faster and his thrusts become stronger. I feel his arms wrapped around my waist as his lips dance on my nape and shoulders. My heart has never hammered so fast in my chest, I can't stop crying, because of happiness, because I was dreaming about having Julius in me for so long. This isn't sex, Drake/Julius and I are making love and I don't care how a big price I will have to pay for this moment when he whispers:

"Ours, we love you so much and you are ours."

I moan both of their names as he spills in me and I also reach my climax. And yet he doesn't pull out and I feel stuffed but at the same time so warm, secure, and happy. I feel his quick breath on my ear and I enjoy his weight on top of me with every inch of my body.

Tears keep coming from my eyes as peace, full bliss comes to me, I feel my eyes getting heavy.

When I open them again I feel cold because I'm alone, I go downstairs to find Julius sleeping soundly on the couch. I know I wasn't dreaming, all of it happened yesterday. Drake and I were having sex, but now there is a painful sensation in my chest because subconsciously I understand Julius wasn't there with us, at least not fully. And I'm sure he won't remember anything of it when he wakes up. But still, I look at him, drinking the beautiful and peaceful sight of him.

As I come back to my room, the first thing I do is to change sheets because reality crashes on me. Nothing is different, Julius won't remember and Brandon will come back home.
