The wind whips around me, stealing my breath as Kit circles around our mansion to replace a good place to land. He is larger than the entire building, and the ground quakes when he lands. A few trees shake, and Kit winces when he accidentally knocks one over with his powerful tail.

‘Sorry…’ Kit sounds like he is pouting and sighs inside my head. ‘I will be more careful next time.’

‘Don’t worry about it,’ I tell him and slip down from his enormous body. ‘Grandpa Avery can grow those trees back with his amazing magic. He is old and the most powerful being living in this house right now… though I suppose my dad and Elijah are powerful too. So is Damien… s**t. I actually don’t really know who is the strongest.’

Kit gives me a funny look. ‘You have a lot of people living under the same roof.’

I grin at him. ‘I kind of prefer it that way. It never gets lonely, but sometimes, I do admit it can get annoying. Some of the walls are paper thin, and I’m getting tired of hearing Damien’s dates dump him once they hear his age.’

Speaking of the devil, I see Damien walking out of the mansion when I turn around. He is followed by Becky and Elijah, and they are all looking up at Kit in awe.

“Oh wow,” Becky says, her voice filled with reverence as she steps closer to Kit. “He’s so big! I’ve never seen a dragon this size before.”

Damien is the first to reach us, his hands on his h**s as he surveys Kit from head to toe. “Nice one,” he says approvingly before turning to me with a smirk. “Who knew you had such a huge pet?”

I roll my eyes at him. “He’s not a pet; he is a friend,” I correct him firmly before turning back to Kit and patting his side affectionately. “And don’t let him fool you; he isn’t that tall in his human form.”

Kit, who has turned back into a human, snorts from above me and dumps his muscular arm onto my head, using me as his personal armrest. “Not tall? Are you kidding me right now, short stuff?”

I glare up at him, standing on my tiptoes to reach his face. “Hey! Don’t call me short!”

Kit chuckles, and I turn towards the others, who have all watched our exchange with amusement. Becky is staring up at him with an open mouth, Elijah looks slightly impressed, and Damien is just shaking his head in disbelief.

“How come I’m the only one unable to replace true love in this house?” He asks out loud, and I blush.

“I’m not in love!” I am totally in love with Kit, but I’m unwilling to acknowledge that even to myself.

I blush furiously at Damien’s comment and try to ignore it. “Anyway,” I say firmly, turning back to the others and hoping to move on from that awkward moment. “This is Kit… he is my fated mate.”

The other three look at Kit with interest, and I can almost see the wheels in their heads turning as they look at him to me as if trying to figure out whether or not we have done the deed yet. Elijah is the first to speak.

“Nice to meet you, Kit,” he says warmly, holding out his hand for a shake. “Welcome to our home. I believe I didn’t properly introduce myself during the dinner; my name is Damien and these two are Becky and Elijah.”

Kit takes Elijah’s proffered hand and shakes it firmly. “Nice to meet you,” he replies with a friendly smile. “And I suspect you already know my name, but I’m Kit, Kit Howler.”

Becky and Elijah both look at me with admiration, obviously impressed that I have found my true mate in the form of a hybrid. I blush slightly under their stares and turn away, not wanting them to think too much about our relationship.

“So,” Damien says, clearly trying to lighten the mood. “You’re a demon and werewolf hybrid?”

Kit nods and smiles. “Correct,” he confirms. “But I have more demon b***d coursing in my veins than werewolf b***d. We don’t know why, but that’s how it is.”

Elijah shrugs. “Well, it doesn’t really matter what your mix is as long as you two are happy together.” He looks from Kit to me with an almost fatherly expression of approval on his face which causes me to blush again.

Becky leans forward and fixes her gaze on Kit intently. “So have you two…you know…” She trails off with a suggestive eyebrow raise and I can feel my cheeks burning with embarrassment now.

Why the heck is she asking Kit that question?!

Damien snorts in amusement but jumps in before Kit can reply. “It’s none of our business, Becky,” he scolds lightly, and she pouts a little before giving up and looking away.

Phew.

I take a deep breath and Kit seems to notice how flustered I am. He grins down at me, and despite my embarrassment, I can’t help but smile back at him before clearing my throat awkwardly and turning away from his gaze..

“We should probably be getting ready for bed now,” I suggest quickly, hoping to avoid any further uncomfortable questions about our relationship or lack thereof. The others all agree readily enough and soon we are all saying goodnight to each other before heading off to our respective rooms for the night.

Once Kit and I are alone together in our room, Kit turns towards me with a mischievous glint in his eyes that causes my heart to flutter nervously in anticipation of what he might say or do next…

“So, are we sharing a bed?” He asks with faked innocence, but I can see how his eyes linger on my breasts.

My heart skips a beat, and I feel my face flush in both anticipation and embarrassment. I take a deep breath before replying, trying to keep my voice even.

“Yes, we can share the bed,” I murmur, feeling slightly awkward.

Kit grins triumphantly and moves closer to me as he takes off his shirt, revealing his toned chest and abs. He is even more attractive than I remembered and I can’t help but let out an appreciative gasp at the sight of him. He notices my reaction and smirks knowingly.

“Is someone admiring the view?” Kit’s voice is low and silky as he steps closer to me, his body radiating heat.

I can feel my blush deepening and I quickly turn away from him before he can see how embarrassed I am. “Shut up, Howler,” I try to keep my voice stern, but I’m blushing so hard I’m certain even my ears are red.

Kit chuckles and moves closer still until we are almost touching. He reaches out to brush a strand of hair away from my face before gently tracing his fingers along my jawline. His touch sends shivers through my body, and I can feel myself melting into him despite my protests.

“It’s alright to look,” he murmurs in a silky smooth voice. “We are mates, aren’t we?”

Is it just me, or is it hot in here?

“Yes,” I whisper, my voice barely audible even to myself. “We are mates.”

“Then… is it okay for me to k**s you?”

My heart skips a beat. I can’t even manage words. Kit’s expression is so tender that I’m melting under the intensity of his glowing yellow eyes. How did I get so lucky? All I want to do right now is to run my fingers through his black hair and trace his cheekbones with my fingers. He looks like an erotic painting, even with his sharp canine teeth.

But since I want to k**s him, I nod. It makes him smile and step closer, pulling me to him. His nearness sends sparks of electricity through my body, and I can feel myself melting into his embrace.

“You’re gorgeous,” Kit tilts up my head, and his lips curve higher as he looks down at me. “I could eat you up.”

Is he serious? “Please don’t,” I whisper.

He chuckles and leans down to lightly brush his lips against mine, sending shivers down my spine. His k**s is gentle yet passionate, and it speaks volumes about the feelings he has for me without saying a single word.

I’m so lost in him that I hardly notice that someone is knocking on the door. But once knocking turns to banging, I unwillingly pull myself away from Kit.

“Uhh… I better check that.”

Kit grins. “Can I borrow your shower in the meantime?” He nods at my bathroom door. “You should have an extra set of towels, right?”

“Yeah, go ahead.”

His lips form a brief smile before he walks into the bathroom. I look toward my door and open it. Bella is standing on the other side, holding a coca bottle and some snacks.

“Peace offering?” She asks.

Since I’m about to get my period, I take the bag of sweets, pleased to see there is chocolate in it. That wins me over, and I take the bottle of cola from her hand.

“Peace sounds good,” I eye her skeptically. “But… aren’t you mad I’m mates with Kit?” I assume she knows Kit is in my bathroom as well.

“No,” Bella’s eyes darken momentarily, but when I blink, she is back to smiling again. Did I imagine that? I stare harder at her, and she sighs. “Look, I just want us to be cool, okay? You’re my sister, and your happiness is important to me. It might suck that you’re fated to the guy I’m in love with, but eh, what can you do?”

I smile at her. “I’m glad you feel that way, hug?”

She hugs me, and I squeeze her body before we both agree to talk more tomorrow. I thank her for the snacks and close the door, eager to dig into the chocolate. Kit is still in the shower, and I know this is my chance at a headstart—I bet the guy is a sweet tooth and I don’t want him to eat it all.

I place down the cola on my bedside table and open a chocolate bar. It’s Marabou milk chocolate, my favorite, and I chew with a happy smile.

Though, is it just me, or does it taste differently?

I ponder on this as I’m about to grab another, but instead, my hands fish up a note inside the bag. I begin reading it at the same time my skin feels funny, almost as if it’s burning.

Dear sister,

After you’ve eaten one of these chocolates, we are officially even. You see, these are magical chocolates, and each one comes with a curse: it could be anything from a face and body filled with pimples, to growing a third arm—I have no idea which one you might eat!

But… that’s the fun part.

Xoxo, Bella.

“That b***h!” I growl and freeze once I catch my reflection in the mirror. Like Bella’s note suggested my entire face and neck is covered with bad acne. It’s not a little either—I look all red and blotchy. These are no ordinary pimples but magical ones and—

“I hope you don’t mind that I used your shampoo—”

I shriek at the sound of Kit’s voice and dart to hide underneath one of the blankets—I can’t let him see me right now! f*****g Bella! Who needs enemies when there are jealous evil sisters? How am I supposed to get laid now?!
