Ruthless Hearts

Chapter 1: Deadly Charm

"Void, are you done with Lydia? We're sharing Lydia... Because you like Lydia too."

I said to Void who is sitting with Lydia Martin the banshee, because Me, Void is both dating Lydia, while Scott the true alpha werewolf dating Allison and Malia the werecoyote dating Kira the thunder kitsune and everyone's living at my own luxury house that I buy with myself.

Void looked at me for a moment before glancing back at Lydia, who was sitting comfortably beside him.

"I'm done. Lydia wanted to stay here a little longer."

Void answered calmly, his expression softer than mine had ever been.

Lydia crossed her arms and looked between us.

"You two are seriously strange. I still don't understand how this arrangement works."

I leaned against the doorway, watching them with a faint smile.

"It works because we understand each other. That's all that matters."

Lydia raised an eyebrow.

"You say that like sharing a girlfriend is the most normal thing in the world."

Void chuckled quietly.

"Compared to everything we've been through, this is probably one of the least strange things."

I smiled at his answer, finding his optimism almost amusing.

Void might have once been feared as a creature of chaos, but now he was simply another member of the pack.

Scott suddenly walked into the room with Allison beside him.

"Are you three seriously having this conversation again?"

Scott sighed as he looked at us.

I turned toward him with a composed expression.

"Why? Jealous?"

Allison laughed softly before Scott could respond.

"Trust me, Scott has enough to deal with already."

Scott gave her an annoyed look.

"Thanks, Allison."

She simply smiled and slipped her arm around his.

From the other side of the room, Malia looked over while Kira stood beside her.

"This pack gets weirder every day."

Kira smiled.

"I think that's what makes us a family."

I quietly watched everyone for a moment. They were all comfortable in my house, surrounded by everything I had built for myself.

And somehow, despite all the chaos surrounding us, I had never felt more in control.

"Fine guys, I already made a lunch for us."

"Thanks Scott, I don't know you can cook."

"Stiles, I've learn from Allison, since you're rarely cooking a food for us."

Scott smiled proudly before placing the plates on the dining table. The smell of freshly cooked food quickly filled the room, making everyone gather around.

Allison pulled out a chair beside Scott.

"You should cook more often. This is actually really good."

Scott laughed.

"I might, but only if everyone helps with the cleanup."

Malia immediately pointed toward Kira.

"Kira can help me."
