Godiva PoV.
“I’m waiting for Alpha Pollux.”
I answered Castor’s question as he passed by me to head to his room. He raised one eyebrow and kept looking at me. I finally felt restless, and I dug my heels into the floor as I lowered my head.
This afternoon, I saw with my own eyes that Pollux came to the salon. He dragged a man, with two bodyguards following behind him. I saw the expression on his face, which was smirking but with a sharp glint in his eyes.
The man he dragged looked stunned, as he didn’t struggle from the grip of Pollux’s hand. What the hell kind of sight was that? I did know that Pollux was an impulsive werewolf, but his actions earlier were too eye-catching.
“Is something bothering you, Luna Godiva?”
“I wasn’t sure you were going to answer my question, Alpha Castor. I’ve always noticed that you always defend Alpha Pollux’s actions, except for his ridiculous actions towards me.”
“What part of anything I said seemed to defend him?” He asked with a sharp glare and a click of the tongue.
“I feel like you’re hiding something from me. First, take the blood from your hands. Then, your study shows that I can’t see anywhere in any room in this house. Lastly, I saw Pollux dragging someone roughly, and his face was very creepy. All of this is bothering me.”
“There’s nothing for you to worry about, Luna. If you think it’s too creepy for you, then it’s not for any particular reason. I can only explain this.”
I sighed wearily. “I want us to have no secrets, Alpha Castor. To me, this is an important basis for the bond we will build together. I hope you can understand what I mean.”
I felt the gentle caress of Castor’s hand on my face. Only with a touch like that did I become weak. I was lulled and immediately buried my head in his chest.
At the same time, I heard the sound of footsteps approaching us. I moved my head away from Castor’s chest and peered over his shoulder. The figure of Pollux, with his face and appearance, is much different from the one I saw earlier.
Pollux looks shabby with clothes that are slightly splattered with blood stains. I sniffed his scent, and he smelled so bad that I thought it was from alcohol. I noticed that his walking position was unsteady and he wasn’t standing on the floor properly.
“What happened?” I asked Castor, who was already looking at Pollux.
“I don’t know. You’d better go to your room right away. I’ll handle Pollux.”
I was so curious about what happened to Pollux. My previous intention was to ask for clarity from him, but I had to temporarily drop it because of Castor’s orders to me. Before I stepped towards my room, I felt my hand being held by something.
I turned around and saw Pollux staggering towards me. He rested his head against me and mumbled incoherently. With all my might, I held his body resting on me.
“What should I do, Alpha Castor?” I asked Castor.
For a moment, I saw the unreadable expression on Castor’s face. His brow furrowed deeply, and Castor moistened his lips with his tongue. He blinked slowly, as if he were observing Pollux’s movements towards me.
“Pollux, I want to be with you. I’ll ask the omega to prepare some cold water to keep him conscious. Take him into your room, Luna Godiva.”
I obeyed. I wrapped one arm around Pollux’s shoulders and pulled him gently into my room. I laid him down on the bed and removed his shoes and shirt buttons.
His body was slightly hot when I touched his hands. Is he running a fever? Or are werewolves like this when they’re drunk.
I received a container of cold water and a towel from one of the round-faced omegas. She bowed to me, and I thanked her in return before she left the room. I refocused on Pollux, who was still mumbling incoherently.
“Uh, Go.. diva.”
“What?”
“Do you still hate me?”
I wasn’t sure whether to respond or not. A drunken human’s words sometimes even show his innermost thoughts. Can I consider Pollux a human too?
I sighed slightly. I remembered the events of that night. The more I remembered it, the more I wanted to curse Pollux, but on second thought, I wasn’t too angry with him anymore.
Aside from his ridiculous and annoying attitude, it was only limited to annoying me. I refuse to be a hypocrite because I also enjoyed our romance. I hoped Pollux would never bring this up when he came to his senses.
“No, but still annoyed. You’re a childish man who likes to play with his prey. If only you were sober, I would have interrogated you about the incident at the salon this afternoon. Gosh, I’m talking seriously to a drunk!”
“I’m still sober, Go. Diva. Ah, why is it so hard to say your name? Sweet pea, huh? You smell nice and cute too, so cute that I want to bite you.”
I saw Pollux baring his fangs at me. What the heck is that? I stepped back a few inches at the sight of Pollux’s fangs, which were really wolf-like.
“I’m handsome, right? Answer me, sweet pea. Am I handsome?” He demanded in a swinging voice.
“Yes, you are handsome. Asshole!”
I had to say it because his hand had a firm grip on my hand. As I let out a moan, Pollux immediately loosened his grip. I rubbed my hand slowly as I cursed inwardly.
“Has your wound healed? I’m sorry; my bite hurt you too much. I wanted to say it when you were awake, but you got mad at me first.”
I gasped. I didn’t expect that apology to come out of his mouth. I believed that Pollux was telling the truth because his eyes were fixed on my neck where he tagged me yesterday.
“It’s getting better. Why are you drunk, Alpha Pollux?”
“My head is tired. For Moon Goddess sake, I want you to call me by my name when it’s just the two of us. Damn Castor for being too stiff. He’s been that way ever since he lost the lottery. You know what? Castor can’t swim; he’s always annoyed with humans. I’m like that too, but he hates them more than me. He’s controlling; he’s”
“Pollux, let’s just talk about you, okay? It’s not nice to talk about your brother behind his back.” as I took off the towel I put on his forehead.
“What do you want to know about me, sweet pea?”
“Was there ever a second in your life that you were in love with me?”
I asked that question because Castor had told me about Pollux’s feelings. I meant it as a joke and didn’t have any intentions. Being in the middle of two men who are in love with me, it’s like riding a Ferris wheel when you’re afraid of heights.
I had no idea what I should do. I just had to stand by both of them. All this time, we were in a peaceful state to welcome our wedding day, which was only three days away.
What, three days? I’m supposed to be married to two men, and I still barely know what to do. I had no one to look up to as a polyamorous role model. I exhaled my breath heavily.
While leaning against the headboard, I kept thinking of all the possibilities that would happen in my life. I should give it a try, being the mate of two twin werewolves.
“I’m in love with you, sweet pea.”
