Chapter Twenty: Daniel

Daniel did not fall asleep, even though he tried his best to.

It was pretty much impossible to fall asleep when the witch, Bethan, had just revealed that he belonged to both Catra and Ryan. And that they belonged to him.

Mates. Three mates.

A triad.

He knew that triad mating bonds had always existed, though they were far and few in between. In many places, a mating bond consisted of an entire group of people, and not everyone in the bond participated in sexual mating.

In some cases, a mating bond was just having a few good friends to spend the rest of your life with.

But that certainly wasn’t the case with Catra and Ryan. Daniel wanted both of them, and he knew that Ryan and Catra wanted him too. He had seen the quick acceptance and then desire on Ryan’s face when Bethan revealed they were mates and Catra confirmed it.

The wolf wanted him as much as Daniel wanted the wolf. Just the thought of Ryan taking both him and Catra at once made him shiver with arousal.
