The wind blew my fur as I ran. I talked papa and dada into letting me go for a run on my own. They say no at first but I gave them my best puppy eyes making them agree. So here I am, running through uncle Theo's territory to explore on my own. The cool air brushed past me where I let my head fall back a little with my eyes closed.

Soon enough, I came to a spot I've never seen before. Even when running with Karter, I haven't seen it. A relatively small field with flowers and animals scattered around. Rabbits and squirrels with a couple deer. I shifted to my human form where I sat down to soak up the sun.

Only it didn't warm me up, I started heating up. A painful heat spread through my body making me groan and cry. Not knowing what to do, I laid where I was and cried while the heat engulfed my body. Just as I closed my eyes, I saw someone coming to me, I don't know who, but when they touched me, I felt the same sparks I did when Karter touched me. Kyra taking a deep breath saying, "Mate."

While I sat with my fathers, I listened to their conversation. Nothing to really listen on, only children and grandchildren talk, about what to do for Kobe's upcoming birthday. Only a couple months and he's quite buzzed he is close to finding his mate. I was excited to find my mate and thanked the moon goddess for giving me Nova.

It feels like ages since I've last seen her, I mean I saw her a couple hours ago before I left her house to see my parents, but thinking of her gives me, Rogue and Isaiah a longing feeling to have our mate in our arms. Just as I was about to mind link Nova, a mouth watering scent filled my nose. My jeans tightened with a growing hard on, the scent of Nova came at me but more alluring, like it made me want to mate and mark her.

My face fell as I knew what this meant. My mates in heat. "I need to go." I quickly said before getting up. As soon as I got outside I shifted and followed the scent to find her. It led me into the woods letting me know Nova was on a run, but if she's with any unmated males, they will try to mate with her. Pushing myself to go faster so I could protect my Nova before anything bad could happen to her.

When her scent got most strong, I was near a clearing. I remember hunting here with Tommy when we were low on blood bags. But when I got to the side of the woods. What I saw made my blood boil. A man was holding what's mine. A low growl rumbled from me making it known the girl he's holding is mine.

I shifted again when I was close enough and took Nova from his arms. "K-Karter?" She looked up at me. A sigh came from her lips as she cuddled up to my chest. My touch soothing the heat but not stopping it.

"I'm here doll. Your safe now." I told her and kissed her head. "Why did you have hold of my mate." I growled with a glare at the man. A vampire at that. Is this even Theo's territory? How is he here without being caught.

"She's my beloved." He stated.

"Not possible. She already has a mate, me." I growled again making Nova whimper.

"Yes, but there are cases of wolves or vampires having more than one. I'm sure, she kept on muttering mate to me, and the sparks I felt only proved that she's mine. I never thought I'd have to share a beloved, but I guess I don't mind." He smirked at me.

This took me by surprise. I mean, if I didn't have Nova I'd definitely hit that. He's got black hair, pale skin but pulled it off with bright green eyes. No ones eyes beat Novas, but his come in second.

"Then why don't I feel a connection with you? I'm sure if Nova has two mates so would we." I sat down with him sitting close where he could hold Nova as well.

"Maybe because she's in heat. Our senses are for her and nothing else. When it simmers or stops maybe we'll get that. I don't know." He shrugged.

Before I could say anything, Nova cried out scratching at my chest and burying her face into my chest. "Come, I have a cabin close by, we can go there." The man stood up.

I nodded and followed him. My raging hard on didn't help as I moved, especially with Novas scent and her kissing my neck. Soon enough, a small log cabin came into view with the smell of him around it.

"This is wolf territory no?" I asked.

"Not that I know of. No ones come around here other than two other vampires a few weeks ago and Nova. I've been on my own for centuries here." He replied.

"What's your name?" I questioned as I followed him into the cabin.

"Alaric. Yours?"

"Karter." I muttered.

"We can lay her on the bed. It's easier for her to feel both of her mates to her. Skin on skin contact it good to ease the heat." Alaric explained.

"You sure know a lot about wolves." I chuckled laying down with my mate.

"Yep. I read about them incase my beloved ended up being a wolf. Incase of heat and all that I wanted to make sure I knew how to help." He told me.

"Why didn't you mate with her when I wasn't there?"

"You sure do ask a lot of questions." Alaric chuckled while getting on the bed laying the other side of Nova. Like me, he was naked with his cock standing tall.

"Answer it." I growled.

"I could smell your scent so I gathered she was close with someone and they were going to find her soon. And the fact I didn't want my beloved to hate me for fucking her without consent and while she was vulnerable. I may not know her but I know she's one of a kind and I don't want to lose her or what she has to offer me." He shrugged.

"I just don't want to be alone anymore and finding her gives me hope I won't be alone." He sighed.

"Okay. But if we have to share her, we have to agree to terms." I stated.

"What terms?"

"We only come here when she wants to. If nova wants you around you'll be there and if she doesn't you won't. She may not know a lot but she can hold herself and make her own decisions." I told him.

"Of course. What about mating? There will be a time she'll want us both."

"She's a virgin, so when the time comes it'll be me. I know her more than she knows herself, I know I won't hurt her." I whispered looking at Nova.

"What if she wants us both?" Alaric asked.

"Look who's asking the questions now." I smirked at him.

"That didn't help my boner." He muttered. "Answer my question."

"Then we'll both be there. I don't really know how this works." I admitted.

"We'll figure it out." Alaric reassured me. "One step at a time."

"Karter." Nova whimpered. Her hand coming to mine where she pulled it to her core. "Please, please touch me. Make it go away." She begged. Before I could reply, her lips closed over mine making my eyes close and kiss her back.

With her hand on mine, she pressed my fingers to her wet core. A moan came from her lips letting me pull away to see her face lost in pleasure. Alaric kissed her neck looking at me before claiming Novas lips. I wanted to be mad but instead I was insanely turned on. I don't like the idea of sharing Nova, possessive I know, but this is a whole new level of pleasure.

Slowly I started rubbing my fingers on her clit earning a moan from my mate. Alaric's palm covered her boob massaging it like I've once done.

"No going all the way." Alaric looked at me.

I nodded. "But do what she tells us." I agreed.
