Dark Moon Boys (Love, Lust & Magic #2)

Griff

“All right, so I figured we do three protection spells. They’re something I’ve been reading about a lot lately,” said as he lit several candles and took a seat in a chair next to Darcy. “Not sure if this is safe in a log cabin, but doing it anyway.”

“So, we’ve got the Grand Grimoire , the Artemis Grimoire , these other ones we haven’t even dug into yet, and— what’s this? ” Darcy grabbed up a small binder decorated with stickers that was sitting on ’s bag. “Should we just call this ’s Grimoire?”

“Ha,” blushed. “Those are just some spells of interest that Old Mother Madge has shared with me over the past month or so. I guess I’m supposed to add them to my family grimoire now that I have it.”

“Ah, here’s the one we used in the cave,” Darcy noted as he flipped through the binder. “And here’s that one about channeling sunlight. Wow, simpler than I thought. Could come in handy if I piss Uriah off.”

“I haven’t tried that one yet,” said as he grabbed his spells away from the other witch. “Let’s focus on the spells at hand.”

“All right, so three for three different people?” Darcy asked, scooting closer to the desk.

“Well, according to Fen, the prophecy already tells us who has to die in order for it to be fulfilled,” said, thumbing through the Grand Grimoire . “So, we cast a protection spell on Pruitt for sure because he’s the First Werewolf.”

“Who else? The Wolf with Two Powers?”

“Well,” began as he shuffled through his backpack for another book, pulling out the Artemis Grimoire and placing it before Darcy. “The group voted while you were out of the room and we think it’s you… Or maybe Haven.”

winced as he waited for a reaction. I hope this doesn’t upset him.

Darcy seemed surprised. “ Me? ”

“Well, Darcy, even if Pruitt isn’t your official sire, a bite or scratch from Luna means you’re still going to turn tonight. She controlled you, too. Plus, you opened the book. That makes you a witch who is also a werewolf. Kinda checks the boxes for some prophetic being known as the Wolf with Two Powers.”

“You’re right, you’re right,” Darcy sighed. “I’m still trying to wrap my head around it, I guess.”

“It’s a lot,” said, offering Darcy a reassuring pat on the back.

“Is there any way to reverse a werewolf’s curse?” Darcy asked. “You know, like killing the werewolf who bit me or something?”

frowned. “No…”

“It’s okay. I figured,” said Darcy, a long sigh escaping from his lips.

“You gonna be okay?” asked.

His ex-roommate nodded. “Well, like you said, it’s a lot. Blossoming witch, college student, parasitic host, newbie werewolf. All of that, plus there’s this cute guy.”

“Oh, yeah?” teased, biting his lip before he decided to continue. “And was that you asking my boyfriends for permission to get with me downstairs?”

“Is it bad if it was?” Darcy replied with a question of his own.

“Well, I don’t need anyone’s permission, first off,” said with a smile, leaning in closer.

“Keep going,” Darcy teased, opening the book before him and scrolling.

“And second off, what is it you’re looking for when it comes to me, anyway?”

It appeared as though Darcy wasn’t expecting that question. “We’ve always had a connection, ,” he said as he took the other witch’s hand. “If you’re poly—I don’t know—is it too much to ask you to go out on a date?”

“It’s not,” squeezed Darcy’s hand. “I’m not looking for just sex, you know.”

“Me neither,” Darcy was quick to add, leaning closer to . “I’m looking for companionship.”

“Me, too,” couldn’t help but to fall into Darcy, their lips locking for the very first time. Sparks seemed to emanate between them, purple and blue hues fluttering and quickly disappearing as they separated.

Darcy let out a cute giggle. “So, I guess now that I’m part werewolf, I finally make the cut, huh?”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, there’s Pruitt,” he said as he held up a finger. “Then there’s Haven.”

sighed. “Oh, come on. Haven’s a new friend.”

“I think he wants to date you just as much as I do,” replied Darcy.

“Look at you, Darcy Landon,” smiled. “And I didn’t even sneak any truth serum into your drink this time.”

“GK, you little twerp!” Darcy wrapped his arm around ’s neck, pulling him into a playful chokehold. “That implies that you did at one point, huh?”

“Be careful,” replied, squeezing the arm that was wrapped around him, “I like that kind of stuff.”

“Oh, I can tell. I saw Uriah’s dirty Twitter account long before you came to town,” Darcy admitted. “I know exactly what he likes.”

“ What was that? ” Uriah’s voice drifted up from downstairs.

Darcy froze.

“Nothing!” shouted toward the door before lowering his voice and directing his attention back to Darcy. “You are a naughty witch, aren’t you?”

“That would make two of us then, huh?” Darcy asked before kissing again. He ran his hands through the other witch’s hair as he explored his mouth with his tongue.

“Do you feel any different?” asked as he finally pulled back.

“Well, I know I said I’m pan, but I haven’t really ever gotten with a guy before so…” Darcy’s voice trailed off.

“That’s not what I meant, goof.” pushed his shoulder into Darcy’s. “Today’s the day of the full moon. Pruitt’s told me that something about the whole day really hyper charges him.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. All his emotions are heightened, I guess.”

“That would explain why I’m suddenly so, um— well, I shouldn’t say.” Darcy appeared flustered before scooting his chair away.

“ Say it! ” Uriah shouted from downstairs.

rolled his eyes at the sound of his vampire boyfriend again adding commentary from another level of the cabin. “Does he bother you?”

“You know what? Weirdly enough, not at all,” Darcy said as he closed his eyes and leaned in for more kisses. couldn’t resist him. “But I suppose they’re going to hear everything.”

nodded before standing up, walking over, and sitting on Darcy’s lap. The two continued kissing. “We don’t have to do anything you don’t want to,” said .

Darcy was suddenly shy. “Um, I guess I always wondered…”

“Wondered what?” ’s chest felt tight as he waited for a response.

The other witch blushed. “Do you enjoy having, um, all of your men at the same time?”

laughed out loud at Darcy’s phrasing of the question. “What?”

“I mean, I don’t know,” Darcy shrugged. “I imagine since everyone’s into one another, you all have sex together—all three of you—a lot.”

“Well, we do,” said, a seductive smile crossing his face. “Why do you ask?”

“Just wondered,” Darcy said as they continued to kiss. “It’s kind of hot.”

“It is,” nodded, his hands running up Darcy’s chest. “Do you want them to join now?”

“Who?” Darcy asked. “Uriah and Pruitt? Haven, too, or?—”

shrugged.

Darcy ran his hands up and down the front of ’s shirt, pinching his nipples through the fabric. “Maybe it’s the impending full moon, I don’t know. I’m surprised I’m saying this, but— fuck . It’d be hot for all of them to join.”

opened the door to the office to find Pruitt and Uriah already undressing one another.

“Oh, uh, hi there, fit fellas,” Uriah—already down to his revealing boxer briefs—said with a smile. “Heard we might be needed.”

“You guys ,” blushed. “What about Ha?—”

“Well, that’s the thing,” said Pruitt. “The office would be a totally hot spot for this, but we already tied Haven up in the bedroom so he can watch. Plus, he can enjoy things from my POV, too. We just did a little test run and it turns out you only severed our bond to Luna, not the one between us.”

“Whoa, you guys really are kinky,” Darcy said, his eyes widening.

“Just you wait,” Pruitt replied, pulling his underwear down and letting his thick cock flop out. Uriah did the same, his erect nine inches already shiny with precum.

Uriah’s voice was stern and demanding as he stepped forward. “Get over here, newbie,” he said, grabbing Darcy by his ear and pulling him into the next room.

In the bedroom, Haven wore only his white briefs and the rope tied around his wrists. Pruitt had placed him on a loveseat just parallel to the bed.

“Off with this, then,” Uriah tugged at Darcy’s shirt. Darcy quickly pulled it off. He went to unbuckle his pants and was surprised when Uriah’s hands did it for him. With one quick movement, Uriah had pulled off Darcy’s pants, underwear, and socks. Meanwhile, Pruitt tossed onto the bed.

“Over here.” Uriah pushed Darcy to the foot of the bed, then used his vampire speed to strip bare save for the jockstrap he wore underneath his pants. Each of the men took turns passionately kissing , their hands exploring his body as they went.

Wow, this is—wow, thought to himself. He recalled the very first day in Mystic Hollow—the same day he met Pruitt, Uriah, and Darcy--and how he had such a crush on each of the three men in bed with him now.

started to jerk and tug at Darcy’s manhood, while rotating in between jerking each of his boyfriends off.

“That feels good,” Darcy spoke softly. dropped to his elbows and guided Darcy into his mouth, stimulating and tickling him with his tongue until he was fully erect.

“Guess I’ll have to call you big witch,” Uriah said as he stood next to Darcy and examined his body.

“Huh?” Darcy asked, his eyes trained on .

“Meant to say you have a nice package,” replied the vampire.

“Oh. You, too,” Darcy said, his attention breaking away to admire Uriah’s nude body. He felt the tension between them building, and before he knew it Uriah had pushed his tongue into his mouth.

“You like that, G?” Pruitt asked as he continued to please Darcy.

smiled as Darcy’s erection slid out of his mouth. “I-I do,” he said with a giggle.

“You are very naughty,” Pruitt laughed, taking Darcy’s cock in his hand and slapping it against his witch boyfriend’s lips and tongue.

“ Very fucking naughty,” Haven sighed from the other side of the room, his underwear tight over his hard-on.

“Why don’t you show Haven how naughty you can be?” Pruitt asked .

obliged, jerking both Uriah and Darcy as he allowed Pruitt to guide his cock into his mouth. His werewolf boyfriend held either side of his head, bucking his hips slowly at first as he slid between ’s soft lips and into his warm mouth.

Pruitt turned and faced Haven. “Show what you want to do,” he said to him.

“And you guys say I’m the kinky one,” laughed.

“Back on that dick,” Pruitt suddenly commanded, pushing the back of ’s head down onto his penis. “Keep sucking.”

didn’t have to be told twice. He could tell that the parasitic link between Pruitt and Haven was active just by the tone in the werewolf’s voice.

“Oh, that feels so good,” Haven gasped from the chair. “All the way, beautiful. Let me see your eyes.”

choked as Pruitt forcefully slid his entire length into his mouth. He felt the pressure at the back of his throat and swallowed hard, which caused both Pruitt and Haven’s bodies to shudder.

“Why don’t you try that on me?” Uriah told Darcy.

Darcy looked surprised at first, but quickly got to his knees, using both hands to jerk Uriah as he contemplated his next move.

“Don’t tell me you’ve never sucked a dick before, big witch,” said Uriah.

Darcy seemed sheepish. “Well, I?—”

“Get on it, then,” Uriah pushed Darcy’s hands away and slapped his hard-on against the witch’s lips.

Darcy used one hand to jerk Uriah while sliding his tongue along the vampire’s sensitive head. He engulfed the tip and slowly experimented with going further down. Despite being preoccupied with his own blowjob, was positioned perfectly to watch the interaction. Holy fuck, this is super hot, he thought to himself.

“There we go, Big D,” Uriah groaned, putting his hand on the back of Darcy’s head and guiding him further down. “Let’s see you do it like little over there.”

“Oh, god,” Darcy exclaimed as he came up for air. “I don’t know about that.”

“If you’re gettin’ my boyfriend’s ass, I’m gettin’ what I want from you,” Uriah said jokingly, pushing himself back into Darcy’s mouth. “Think he wants it, ?”

let out a gasp as Pruitt released him. “Do you, Darce?”

Darcy eagerly nodded. “The tough guy thing is kinda hot.” He felt his jaw unhinging, his courage growing as the vampire guided his head up and down.

“Now, let me,” Uriah whispered, putting both hands on the back of Darcy’s head and thrusting into his mouth.

“You like that?” Pruitt asked as he buried ’s face in his abdomen. He leaned over and slapped ’s bare ass.

“I bet you fucking do,” said Haven, as though continuing the sentence.

“I know what he really wants,” Uriah said from behind.

Pruitt let up on just as Uriah and Darcy surrounded him. The three men all slapped their cocks on ’s face.

“You like that, ?” Haven asked, his eyes closed.

“Fuck! I do,” said excitedly, alternating between licking and sucking each of his men.

Uriah took charge, exploring the back of ’s throat as Darcy got on the bed. felt a tickle up his spine as Darcy pressed soft kisses down his lower back and onto his rear, spreading his cheeks as he went.

“You are truly beautiful,” Darcy exclaimed, sticking his tongue out and teasing ’s hole with it.

“Get him nice and ready for us,” said Uriah as Pruitt again spanked ’s ass. Darcy obliged, exploring the other witch’s most sensitive areas with his mouth.

Before long, Darcy was back on his knees and pleasing Pruitt this time. By now, Uriah had spun around, hoisting his legs up. He invaded ’s hole with his tongue, rubbing his lover’s hard-on through his jockstrap as he went.

Pruitt pulled Darcy to his feet. “If I kiss you, we’re going to develop this weird ESP bond, just so you know.” watched as Darcy seemed to hesitate before pulling Pruitt into a passionate kiss.

“You ready to get fucked, little witch?” asked Uriah.

“Yes, please,” whimpered .

“Why don’t you do the honors, Darce?” Uriah asked as he gave Darcy’s ass a playful smack.

“Fuck yeah, Darcy,” Haven exclaimed, pinching his nipples as he watched.

Now on his back, made eye contact with each of his lovers, an excitable grin forming on his face as the newest one took hold of his ankles. He felt Darcy’s fat head pressing against his opening and let out a quiet whimper as Darcy pushed his full length inside of him.

Darcy’s eyes rolled back as he entered . “Wh-whoa.”

“That feels amazing,” gasped as he looked into the other witch’s eyes. Darcy leaned forward, kissing gently. “ You feel amazing.”

“No, you,” Darcy said with a chuckle before sticking his tongue into ’s mouth.

felt his hands guided to both of his boyfriend’s penises. He eagerly began jerking them.

“Hot,” Uriah whispered to Pruitt as they watched.

“It is,” Pruitt replied, pulling the vampire in for a kiss. “So are you.”

“Oh, god,” gasped as Darcy leaned up and pulled him close, securing his legs over his shoulders.

“I bet you like it like this, huh?” Darcy asked as he increased the rhythm of his hip movements.

“Yes, please,” whimpered, his erection peeking out from his jockstrap as he shook with every thrust.

Even though he was deeply engrossed in a passionate kiss with Pruitt, Uriah guided his cock into ’s mouth, holding the back of his submissive lover’s head steady as he gently moved his hips into him.

“Yeah, suck that cock while I fuck you,” Darcy commanded, his thrusts now strong and steady. “That’s right.”

“Think it’s my turn,” Pruitt finally exclaimed, jumping down from the bed as Darcy traded spots with him.

“Oh, wow , yes,” Haven gasped as he watched, his body writhing with pleasure as Pruitt entered .

“He-he can feel everything?” asked as he gestured to the bound werewolf.

Pruitt nodded. “We both can.”

“ Ugh, Haven ,” gasped, looking to Haven and back up at Pruitt. “Fuck yes.”

Pruitt responded by leaning forward and placing his hand securely at the front of the witch’s neck.

“You like it when I fuck you in your boyfriend’s body?” Pruitt asked, but knew it was Haven.

“ Yes, yes, yes! ” shouted with every thrust.

“That’s some wild paranormal shit, isn’t it?” Uriah asked as he tugged at Darcy’s erection.

“Take it!” Haven shouted from the chair.

“Oh, wow. You feel so good inside of me,” gasped, his glasses falling off at the pressure of Pruitt’s thrusts.

“He likes that, huh?” asked Darcy, his hands finding ’s nipples and squeezing them.

“Oh, he’s very naughty,” the vampire said with a nod. “Just wait until you see what we’re going to do next.”

Pruitt took hold of ’s legs and kept thrusting, sweat dripping down his forehead.

“You gonna save some for the rest of us, Pru?” asked Uriah. “I mean, er, Haven?”

“ It’s Haven ,” Pruitt said. “And this ass is too good for me to give up yet.”

whimpered as Pruitt grabbed his hands and pinned them down.

“Talk dirty to him, Aussie,” Uriah suggested, his hands casually exploring Pruitt’s rear.

“You fucking like that?” Pruitt shouted.

“Yes!” replied . “Please don’t stop.”

“That’s it! I’m cu-cu-cumming,” Pruitt whimpered, both his and Haven’s bodies shaking as he collapsed on top of . The two shared a series of warm, gentle kisses before felt a pair of arms pulling him further up the bed.

To his surprise, Uriah was already waiting for him. His head positioned atop a pillow, he lay flat on his back. Darcy pulled ’s limp, sweaty body over top of the vampire’s stomach so that he was facing away from him. “Ready, little witch?”

“Yes, baby,” whimpered as Uriah lifted him onto his penis. The vampire held his lover’s legs in the air as he thrust into him.

“You next,” Uriah nodded to Darcy. The witch came around to the front, facing them both and spitting onto his cock before pressing it into ’s already filled hole.

“I’m not sure if this is going to…” Darcy cut off his own sentence as he felt the sudden, tight, and addictive sensation of his cock pushing inside and rubbing up against Uriah’s own throbbing penis.

“Holy shit!” Uriah cursed. ?Feels fucking brilliant.?

“You okay, cutie?” Darcy asked, leaning in and kissing on his chest.

“Y-yes,” whimpered, his body contracting and then relaxing as he felt his new lover push into him. “Kiss me.”

Darcy made out with as his hips gently bucked into him. Uriah pushed ’s head forward while wrapping his arms tight around his shoulders, giving Darcy the perfect leverage to fuck him.

“Looks like this newbie isn’t half bad,” Uriah groaned as he enjoyed the sensation of the double penetration.

“Jealous,” Pruitt said before he joined Darcy and in a three-way make-out. Their tongues danced together as Pruitt held ’s head.

“You know what he wants you to do, Pru,” Uriah nudged the vampire.

Pruitt chuckled. “Hey, Darcy. Repeat after me.” His thumb found the corner of ’s lips, pushing past them and gently coaxing his mouth open. “Open up, baby.” When obliged, he spit into his mouth.

“Damn, that’s hot,” Darcy exclaimed, leaning forward and spitting his own saliva into the vulnerable witch’s mouth.

“Wow,” gasped, Darcy’s hot saliva dripping from his chin. He concentrated on the fire in his witch lover’s eyes, his eyes wide as his sphincter contracted on the two cocks inside of him.

“Good witch,” Darcy cackled, giving ’s face a gentle slap.

Before anyone could react, Pruitt hovered over top and pushed his full length inside of ’s mouth. “That’s what the spit was for,” Haven said from across the room with a groan.

“So fucking tight,” Uriah gasped, pressing gentle kisses into ’s neck.

Darcy pulled ’s hard-on free from his jockstrap and jerked him while increasing the rhythm of his hips.

“Naughty witch. Getting me all excited,” Darcy replied. “You want me to cum in you, too?”

“I do,” looked up to him with eager eyes as his werewolf lover readjusted. He switched to jerking Pruitt off, his attention concentrated on Darcy.

“You are so beautiful,” Darcy whispered as he furrowed his brows. “You gonna cum for me, too?”

Haven growled from nearby. “Yeah, fill him up like he deserves.”

“Oh, oh, oh!” ’s body trembled as Darcy and Uriah moved back and forth inside of him. With every involuntary contraction of his body, he felt their full length and thickness pushing deeper.

Darcy watched with pleasure as ’s eyes rolled back, his body tensing up as he sprayed semen onto his stomach.

“Good little witch!” Uriah commended , a low moan coming from the back of his throat.

Darcy was caught off guard by the tight sensation of ’s body contracting with him inside it, losing control and orgasming at the same time. “Oh, wow! Here it is!” Darcy howled.

“That’s right, Darce,” Uriah cheered him on. “Fuck it into him.”

“My turn,” Haven and Pruitt demanded simultaneously. Pruitt quickly took the place of Darcy. “Whoa, I— wow .”

Uriah let out a long sigh as he felt Pruitt join him inside of .

Pruitt took hold of ’s chin, leaning forward and kissing him as he began to gently move deeper inside.

Darcy watched from the other edge of the bed, his attention span moving from the three on the bed to Haven on the nearby chair.

“How’s that feel, Haven?” Uriah asked. “You like that?”

“Hell yeah,” Pruitt replied.

Uriah adjusted his legs, giving himself just enough leverage to match Pruitt’s enthusiasm. The two alphas happily bucked into their lover with a coordinated tempo.

“Ha-Ha-Haven,” moaned as he completely submitted to his lovers.

Uriah gently grabbed ’s head by a tuft of hair, while Pruitt once again grabbed for the witch’s neck to brace his bottom’s body against him.

“You like giving these guys a show, baby?” Uriah whispered into his ear.

“Y-yes,” moaned.

whimpered as the vampire continued to tease him. “You gonna cum for us again, champ?”

“Who, me?” Pruitt asked.

“I meant ,” Uriah said, acknowledging his bottom’s rock hard cock as it bounced back and forth. “But you, too.”

“You like having two big dicks inside of you?” Darcy whispered in ’s other ear.

“Fuck,” grunted, looking to Darcy with puppy dog eyes. “I-I do.”

“You guys were right.” Darcy looked to Pruitt and Uriah. “He is a little slut.”

“That’s exactly what he is,” Uriah growled. “You fucking like it when we take control of you, huh?”

“Yes, Uriah! Please don’t stop.” whinnied. “If you both keep going, I’m going to cum again.”

Darcy took hold of ’s member, sliding it into his mouth and bouncing up and down on it. The sound of Pruitt’s balls slapping into ’s skip rang out.

“Ha-Haven!” gasped. “Please keep doing that.”

“Don’t forget about me,” Pruitt growled, his other hand tightening its grip around ’s neck.

cried out. “Oh, please, Pruitt! I’ve been so good. I-I deserve another load.”

“Tell me you want my load,” Pruitt demanded, giving ’s face a gentle slap.

“Cum in me!” cried out.

“Oh, yeah!” Haven grunted.

“Whoa,” Pruitt gasped, his eyes wide in disbelief. “Here comes my second one!”

“M-m-me, too,” let out a high-pitched squeal, more hot strands of cum shooting across his torso.

“Oh, you’re gonna make both of us cum now,” hissed Uriah before going into an uncontrollable yelp.

“Fu-u-u-ck,” shook as he received his next two gifts. He felt the pulsating sensation of his lover’s cocks, a warm sensation running through him as they filled him up.

“Well, damn,” Uriah finally exclaimed, wrapping his arms lovingly around ’s quivering body. “That was the most people I’ve ever tried to fit into this bed before. Well, at least this century, anyway.”

“You okay, Haven?” gasped, looking over to the man sitting across the room. He motioned him over to join them in a post-sex group cuddle.

Haven nodded, finding the last strength inside of him to move from the chair to the bed. That’s when they all noticed the constrained werewolf’s underwear was soaked.

“Wow, that host-parasite stuff really works,” Pruitt said with surprise.

Haven had a bashful grin on his face.

heard Pruitt’s voice in his head. ?Think your Dark Moon boy would like it if you helped clean him up like the good little sub you are.?

rolled over and on top of Haven, pressing a soft kiss into his lips. Haven seemed shy at first, but quickly returned the favor. The witch moved his hands down to the blonde werewolf’s waist, pulling down his underwear. “Don’t want you feeling left out,” he said with a devious smile.

Haven’s eyes rolled back into his head as took his sensitive, spent cock into his mouth. felt truly naughty as he licked up his new werewolf’s seed, savoring the feeling of complete submission as all his tops watched his movement with greedy eyes.

“Strangely hot,” said Uriah, to which Pruitt nodded. The vampire pulled off Haven’s bindings with a quick tug.

was surprised when Haven pulled him back up and showered his face with gentle kisses.

“Strangely hot is a phrase I might use to describe all of you,” Darcy said as he leaned over and kissed on the cheek.

“Very fair,” said with a smile as he wrapped his arms around Haven. “Well, I’m blessed to feel cared for by each one of you strangely hot men.”

He felt like the luckiest witch in the world as his harem of muscular, sweaty, and spent men snuggled, caressed, and kissed him. And I thought aftercare with just my two boyfriends was heaven, he thought to himself as he looked from Pruitt and Uriah to Haven and Darcy.

“You mind talking for a minute?”

Fresh from a shower, exited the bathroom and turned to see Haven standing in the upstairs hallway.

“Hey, Haven,” said with a smile as he adjusted the towel around his waist. “What’s up?”

“You think I could—I don’t know—take you out to dinner sometime soon? You know, on a date?” asked Haven, his hands carefully navigating ’s defined hip bones before he tucked either thumb into the witch’s towel and pulled him close. “I mean, after the full moon is over, and presuming we survive all this impending apocalypse stuff, of course.”

admired the werewolf’s forwardness. “I would like that a lot,” he replied. “In Crescent Ridge or Mystic Hollow?”

“Well, let’s see if there’s anything left of either after tonight,” Haven replied with a half-hearted smile. “You were amazing back in the bedroom, by the way, little ankle biter.”

moved in closer, taking in the Australian werewolf’s natural scent and savoring it. “I could say the same for you, Mr. Parasite.”

“Your boyfriends—they’re great guys,” began Haven. “I know I can’t match them. I see how they treat you like a prince. B-but I’d like to have a shot at showing you a good time one-on-one.”

“There’s no need to compare one relationship with another,” said with a wink, his hands finding Haven’s and wrapping them up. “I’d love to get to know more of the real you, Haven the werewolf healer.”

“I was nervous I wouldn’t get the chance to ask you if I didn’t do it today,” replied Haven. “If the rest of the pack finds out I’m not part of their brainwashed army, I-I might not make it back to you.”

“Well,” began , “I know we got a little distracted earlier, but Darcy and I just finished casting a spell of protection over you.”

The two were silent as the werewolf processed the witch’s revelation. Haven gently pulled away, a look on his face suggesting he was lost in thought. “So, does that mean you think I’m the one? The Wolf with Two Powers, that is?” he finally asked.

lifted his scraped up and bruised hands, battle scars from the manor attack. Without asking, he again took Haven’s hands in his own. “Well,” mused as the two watched the cuts and discoloration fade from the witch’s fingers and hands, “I know you’re a contender for the title.”

The blonde werewolf sighed. “And even after all that, you still want to hang out with me?”

“I do,” nodded.

Haven played coy. “This is probably the part where I lean in for a kiss, isn’t it?”

“Oh, most definitely. ”

Haven squeezed ’s hands protectively within his own, leaning down slowly as he pulled him into a kiss. felt like fireworks were going off in his head as their lips locked. Wow, he thought to himself. What a hunk.

“ What?” Haven asked as let out a giggle.

“Guess I’m a sucker for accents and sweet personalities, that’s all.” wrapped his arms around Haven’s shoulders, pulling him back in for one last kiss.

“Clearly, darl,” Haven whispered.

“Is that some kind of Australian term of endearment?”

“It is, actually. Short for darling,” Haven pulled in close to his chest. “I can stick with ankle biter, though.”

“I like both.”

felt Haven take a deep breath before replying. “I like you.”

“I like you, too, and I want you to be safe tonight,” cautioned.

Haven nodded, a grin crossing his handsome face as the two made eye contact. “Whatever you say, darl.”

“I mean it,” replied . “You can’t heal yourself.”

“No, I can’t,” the werewolf acknowledged. “But I’ll be there to protect you, to heal you should you need it. Anyone else, too. Promise.”

pulled Haven in for a hug, squeezing him protectively. “That’s what I like to hear.”

“I’ll be back soon, okay, ?”

recognized a sadness in Haven’s voice, a fear of the unknown and the battle ahead. He wished he could take the werewolf’s worries away, but he knew it wasn’t possible.

Uriah met at the foot of the stairwell to scoop him up into his arms. “Did the wolf from down under check out?”

“He’s headed back to the manor now,” nodded, thankful for his vampire lover’s playful demeanor even when things seemed so dire. “Let’s hope everything falls into place as planned.”

“Well, if all else fails, I’ll just fly you somewhere far away,” teased Uriah. “How about that?”

“Oh, yeah,” Pruitt called from the living room. “Riah tells me you gave him the courage to unclip his wings.”

The vampire carried his human to the couch, placing him gently in Pruitt’s lap. “I don’t think I gave him anything,” said between kissing both of his boyfriends. “Uriah just found what was already inside of him.”

“Guess so,” Uriah shrugged, joining them on the sofa. “You gonna be distracted at your big game when you see me flying by with some advertisement banner like an airplane?”

Pruitt squeezed Uriah’s hand.

Uriah squeezed back. “Do you want to talk about Theodulf, Pru?”

“It feels terrible to know that Odessa spent three hundred years-plus dedicated to ruining your happiness. Not just with Uriah, but with Theodulf, too,” thought aloud as he traced his fingers up and down Pruitt’s forearms, tickling his skin as he went. “Makes a lot more sense why she was so pissed at me.”

“Thank god you wasted the old crow,” Uriah winked, his hands caressing ’s legs.

“ We wasted that old crow, thank you,” nudged Uriah.

“And we’ll do the same tonight with this deranged doctor. Supernatural battles between good and evil at the football field is something I can handle,” added Pruitt. “But losing you—either of you—is something I can’t.”

“That’s why we’ve got the element of surprise, pet,” the vampire replied. “Those wolves won’t know what hit ‘em.”

’s mind raced to Darcy. “Speaking of wolves, we have a brand new one upstairs that may or may not be coming into his powers in just a few hours. I’m nervous for him.”

“He can go in Quinn’s room—er, cage,” chuckled Uriah. “That’ll keep him from harming anyone.”

“It’s not exactly how a wolf learns self-control, but it’s probably the best we can do for tonight,” added Pruitt, a look of concern on his face.

“Who would’ve thought our boy would have such a big thing for werewolves, huh?” Uriah gave Pruitt a painful punch in the shoulder. “Oh, sorry. Forgot about your little bite.”

Pruitt chuckled. “It’s all good. It finally started to heal more like a normal wound.”

“Do you think I should feel something special after the protection spell?” Darcy asked as he joined the trio in the living room. “I mean, I just gave myself a wicked sliver on the railing, so maybe it’s not as powerful as we thought.”

“I think it works a bit differently than that, silly,” said with a smile, reaching his arms out for Darcy.

Darcy looked surprised but pleased at ’s yearning for him. Looking from Pruitt to Uriah, he hesitantly perched himself on the edge of the couch, between the vampire and werewolf and just in front of , whose torso rested in Pruitt’s lap and legs stretched over Uriah. leaned forward, wrapping Darcy into a hug.

“All right,” Darcy said with a shrug. “Pruitt, do you remember the day you first transformed into a werewolf?”

“I do, but it was a little different from the average first time.”

Darcy nodded. “Oh, sorry. You mean the whole witch forcing you to become one, right?”

“Yeah, that part.” Pruitt sighed. “But I know you’re probably already feeling a lot of changes. Heightened senses, emotions.”

Uriah gave Darcy a friendly nudge. “Horniness, clearly.”

“Y-yeah,” Darcy blushed. “Thanks for helping me out with that one, guys.”

“We’ll make sure you’re safe,” said Pruitt. “Whoever infected you aside, this curse is ultimately my responsibility. What I became is what gave birth to the likes of wolves like Luna Dark Moon.”

“You’re like the father of wolves, I guess, huh?” Darcy ran his hands through ’s hair, winking at Pruitt. “Teach me your ways, daddy wolf.”

“I’ve never had so many guys call me daddy until I met you witches,” Pruitt laughed.

“I can be daddy, too, you know,” said Uriah, earning him a stare from Pruitt, , and Darcy. “ What? I can. ”

“All right, dads,” began, his voice loaded with sarcasm. “Let’s get ready for tonight’s big game.”

The streets of Mystic Hollow’s Campustown neighborhood swarmed with students, fans, and shoppers alike. Local businesses showed support for the Mystic Hollow Devils, while many visitors boasted blue shirts and jackets representing Moonhaven University’s Wolf Pack.

“Not at all,” the elder witch replied, greeting with a friendly smile as she took a seat on a bench outside of Witch’s Brew. “Back so soon. Looking to refill your truth serum?”

“Uh, no,” said with a laugh. Behind him appeared Darcy and Pruitt—and from the shadows, Uriah stepped forward with an umbrella blocking him from the overcast day’s sun. “But I was wondering if you had anything that worked for, say, full moons and magical energy boosts.”

Old Mother Madge tilted her head in thought, surveying ’s suitors before turning her attention back to . “Hello, gentlemen. If you’ve brought with you the grimoires, I suppose we can have a look.”
