Dead At Dawn

Lyra's POV

I woke up with a gasp, trapped between two gods that both reeked of destruction.

I wriggled uncomfortably, trying to break free but Lucien's arm was snaked around my waist possessively, his warm breath brushing against my skin which made the hairs rise while Kael in the other hand, was still tangled gripping my hair like he owned it and I couldn't peel it off.

My thighs….goddess they were soaked, my cunt pulsating and my mouth had the after taste of copper and cum.

But that was not what made me panic, no.

There was something more than that which burned with a feral intensity inside of me.

My heat had not stopped, it was supposed to. Rather, it had gotten more violent, unnatural and raw.

I widened my eyes slightly, a whimper escaping my lips as my hips began buckling on their own, searching, needing something that could relieve us but unfortunately, there was nothing that could stop the ache tearing me apart from the insides.

Lucien groaned behind me as he stirred, his hands sliding down to my now swollen, sore belly. "It has gotten worse, right?"

I pursed my lips slightly, not giving him a reply. My throat was cracked from screaming, my lips were dry but I gave him a slight nod.

He muttered a curse, old words spilling from his mouth. The air felt different. Kael sat up suddenly. "You didn't," he said hoarsely.

Lucien wouldn't look at him. "I had to." "What did you do?" Lucien's voice was quiet, too quiet. "The bathhouse is cursed."

I felt a chill. He kept talking. "It's old, powerful magic. I used it when I first touched her. It was meant to break the bond and give us a second chance."

My heart was racing. "You cursed me?"

"I tied you to me," he said softly. Kael's eyes blazed with anger. "You made her an obsession."

"I didn't think it would be this strong." I gasped, my vision blurring. "Lucien… you controlled my heat?"

He didn't deny it.

"You bound me without asking." My voice broke. "You used my body for a curse."

Lucien's jaw tightened. "I wanted to protect you. From him. From rejection. You were dying….." "And now?" Kael's voice was rough. "She's dying faster."

Lucien's hand shook over my belly. "If we don't finish the bond, the curse will get worse. Her heat will destroy her. And you…." he glared at Kael….."your wolf will go wild. You'll either hurt us or die trying to claim what you gave up."

Kael growled. "You tied my mate to your curse."

"She's mine now," Lucien growled. "The bond picked her. You walked away….that bound us together. You don't get to be mad."

"You tied us both, you bastard," Kael snapped. "You think this curse only holds her? I feel it. I feel her fire in my blood. I taste her on my lips when she's not even here. I dream of her cries and wake up aching and sweating….."

"I didn't want this." Lucien shook his head.

"Then break it." Kael growled, he was getting angry.

"I can't!" Lucien fired back, a deep sigh escaping from his lips as he tilted his head backwards.

The room throbbed. The air itself felt alive….heavy with anger, need, and something ancient.

Lucien looked at me, his eyes dark and fierce. "We have to finish this. Seal the bond. Or it kills you."

My lips shook as I spoke. "I don't want to belong to anyone, not in this way please. Not forced together by some curse."

"You already do, omega," he murmured. "But I'll make you enjoy it."

Kael turned, but I saw his stiff back, his tight fists. He was falling apart. He still wanted me. Still loved me. And it tore at him.

Then the mark on my neck burned…..Lucien's bite. Not Kael's.

I gasped in pain.

Kael jerked like he'd been cut.

Lucien's mark was settling in.

I was being taken.

My breath hitched, I didn't even realize in time that I was on my back, not until I felt Lucien's heavy body pressing down against mine as he pinned me between the ground and his body.

"Let me save your life and quench that heat, little lamb" he snarled in a low, wicked, sly smirk dancing on his thin lips.

My heart skipped a beat, my pussy clenching as my mind screamed at the danger signals but I chose to ignore it; not when my heat begged and yearned for the brothers touch.

I nodded, whimpering as I heard Kael make a feral noise beside me. I could feel his hands grabbing my thigh, his lips crushing mine as he devoured it in a kiss. It was full of rage, desperation, possessiveness and hunger.

"Just this once, Little slut!" He growled, his voice raspy. "Then I promise I would break the fucking curse!"

Lucien smirked, spreading my thighs wider. "You would bind her to me if you act without thinking, Kael"

Kael tilted his head backwards slightly, a low growl rumbling from his chest but he didn't stop.

I was too hot, too wrecked and too needy to process what was happening at this moment. Then, I felt it; Lucien's duck was pressing deep inside of me, thick and slow, while Kael took my mouth once again, his cock already throbbing against my cheek.

"Open…." He roared a command and I did as I was told.

I took them both, one deep in my pussy and one deep in my throat.

Lucien thrust into me, deep and hitting the raw places inside my pussy that made me choke on a sob.

Kael on the other hand, kept feeding me his cock like I was made to swallow all he had to offer.

Then, Lucien grazed the mate mark at first, before sinking his teeth deep into my check.

"Fuck yes" Kael growled as he leaned in, kissing the tears from my cheeks.

"Oh, fuck yes, don't stop!" I moaned, begging. "Don't you dare fucking stop!"

My core was being split open, filled up more than I could handle. Lucien was still knotted deep inside my pussy, our body locked together as Kael fisted my hair, his thrust even harder down my throat, his growl turning feral.

"You belong to us, now, little slut" Lucien growled against my ear. "Cursed and claimed, forever"

With one final thrust, I crashed and came violently and uncontrollably. My body froze, shuddering as my core pulsed around Lucien's knot as Kael finally came too, hot and intense, his cum spilling down my throat while I choked on it.

Then, everything around me became blurred. I could not scream, neither could I breathe properly.

I was too full, too used and too wrecked.

Then, everything went black.

******

I woke up to silence around me, Lucien still held me close to him, his hands wrapped around as he looked at me with a calm expression. But beneath that facade, I could tell something was wrong, terribly wrong.

Kael stood over us, eyes squinted with something dangerous flickering in them, teeth clenched together.

Lucien shifted his gaze to him. "You have not marked her yet. You need to do that so that the bond would be complete"

Kael shook his head, taking a slow stride backwards. "I don't want to," he muttered under his breath. "I can't accept the bond I rejected, Lucien"

"Well you have no fucking choice, Kael!" Lucien growled. "If you didn't want this you should have broken the bond properly! You know too well not to reject a mate in maddening heat, it would kill her!"

Kael froze, his calm facade faltering.

"It does not matter" He growled, shifting his gaze to meet mine. "She will heal"

"Heal?" Lucien growled, his tone raw and primal. "The curse isn't done yet and neither are we. If you don't mark her on time…." His voice trailed as he looked at me, his expression hardening. "She'll die before dawn"
