"Tonight, salvation is ours,"

Calice arched her back as she breathed out heavily, feeling his tongue exploring her tulips. Her fingers getting lost in his smooth locks. 

"Ugh! C-Chris! Dare to stop and I'll-"

"No way I am going to,"

He hummed into her core, the reverberation travelling through her walls making her arc her back more as she tried to spread her legs more but he was fast enough to grab her thigh and pull it in on his shoulder while the other grasped her waist, holding her in place. 

"Haa! I-I'm close!"

Her body felt heightened to lengths she never discovered but before it could reach its peak, he withdrew his mouth from her core, sitting up while placing her thigh back down and licking his lips all over, consuming all her attraction. 

"There is no way you are reaching that high without being filled to the brim,"

He removed his tracks and boxers before getting back on the bed, grabbing her thighs and crossing them around his waist. He leaned forward before taking her swollen lips in, his hand slithering to her back pushing her up and swivelling her around. He grabbed her waist raising her on her knees, her palms lying on the mattress before the pillow. He undid her bra and tossed it aside. 

"Ugh!" 

She grunted as she felt him invading her sensitive and twitchy tulips. This wave felt different from all the times they had shared in bed (and a few other 'unprecedented' places) up until now. No. This was an infinite number of times superior to that. She closed her eyes to feel this wave rush over her better. 

Up until now, my feelings were heavy, burdened with all that doubt for his love. I thought Pacio had led me to my ruin, my demise and the destruction of the only genuine feeling I felt after Mother's death. 

"Uff! Holy mother of lilies!" Chris whined, feeling her drenched walls wrapping and squelching around his girth.

I thought the moon had waged war with the love I have for him. 

"Ahh! C-Chris!" Chris's moves synced with her little, internal moans as he didn't seem to be stopping any time soon, taking it slow, to tease her.

But tonight, I finally received my answer. 

"Don't mind me, little pup because I'm going all the way in!" Calice's eyes flew open as she felt like she was being filled more than necessary, not only from her core but from her heart, her mind and her soul as well. 

He pulled her up on her knees, grabbing her neck as her hand grabbed his head, stroking his locks again. His pace picked up by itself as her eyes closed whilst feeling him rearrange her insides.

Until now, all such nights burdened me with apprehension and distance. But tonight, that burden is nowhere to be found. 

Her tongue dragged itself out, begging for attention as the bud in front of her core began twitching. 

"Oh, if you could look at yourself like this, you'd be as delighted as me,"

He grabbed her jaw and pulled her tongue into his mouth, feeling her moans. 

"MMMF!"

Tonight, I can proudly say that I have never felt more delighted and connected to you than ever!

His other hand slithered down to her little bud and began massaging it as his pace remained consistent.

Tonight! 

She squealed as he let go of her mouth and choked her harder with the same hand he grabbed her jaw with. 

For the moon or not! 

Her eyes screwed shut as tears of joy trickled down her cheeks. 

I am all yours! To keep and to spend a lifetime with!

"Oh yes, my pup. You belong to me!" Chris began rubbing her bud at an animalistic pace as he heard her squeals echoing through the room (even the neighbours could hear them). 

"AHHHH! HEAVENS!"

A massive and sinful puddle let itself lose on the mattress as she reached the lengths she was chasing. 

"HhUuH," She whined lowly, not in her senses from the ecstasy. 

He withdrew as another batch of that sinful release mixed with his trickled down her thighs. He turned her around and placed a peck on her lips, giving her a chance to breathe. 

She looked at him before pulling him back and letting her tongue meet his. He grabbed her cheeks as she wrapped her hands around his shoulders and tilted his head to the other side to deepen that sinful and wet kiss. 

"Haa!" They withdrew, a string of saliva connecting their red and fulfilled tongues. 

Chris smirked as he got on his knees, making her eyes widen. 

"You're still hard?!"

With that, he invaded her flower once again and leaned closer to her ear. 

"Counting lilies isn't a task as short as you think,"

"Yeah, I'll be there by sundown," Billy cut the call as he drove west from town, heading to Philly. He sighed as he looked at the rearview mirror before staring at the road again. He went on for about 14 miles more before stopping at a motel. 

"Ugh! Wish I had enough cover and connections to catch a flight like Abby," He came out of the bathroom after a warm shower, wiping his hair, with nothing but black pants covering his lower body. He went closer to the bed before his figure plopped onto the mattress. He rested his palm behind him and unlocked his phone, going through the gallery, with pictures of Samantha and himself passing his eye as his thumb kept tapping the delete button for each. He stopped right before the last image for a second there and smiled lightly. 

"Sorry, Sam. Your sacrifice was essential. You shouldn't have tried to tell on me because...,"

He leaned forward, withdrawing his palm from the mattress.

"...you had no idea who I had pawned for her protection,"

In a split second, his gallery was empty of all the pictures that had together. He sighed as he rested the back of his hand on his forehead, facing the ceiling as his upper body plopped flat on the mattress. 

"I hope she's safe wherever she is," 

He looked to the side, the green study lamp covered in dust as his pile of grimoires and lores lay on its surface. 

"Family reunion is on its way, Julia"

"So you decided to protect the one wolf who doesn't need protecting," Julia mocked Seokjin as she took a huge sip of the beer that once occupied the red cup. 

"She needs it now and-"

"You're the man for it. Got it," 

"So what is with this party anyway? You could've had a tribal meeting with all of them,"

"Seokjin, Seokjin, Seokjin. You fail to feel fun!"

He frowned, disappointed at her answer but didn't dare protest against it. 

"A tribal meet would make them feel like I am setting an authority above them,"

His frown slowly disappeared. 

"A party, on the other hand, would actually make them feel accepted and like they belong or so,"

She finished her beer and withdrew herself from her seat. 

"Come take a walk,"

He hesitated but followed her around the living room. 

"So my plan is to gather at least about 15 to 20 hybrids,"

"Purpose?"

"Protection,"

"From?"

"It's a long story I've saved for another time,"

"Coming back to the point, I need protection for now from someone whom I met about 500 years ago when I was in exile,"

"Oh,"

"She was called The cursed Witch of Versailles,"

"She still lives?!" Seokjin freaked out. 

"Yes. I was able to sniff her aura on the pair of twins from the beginning,"

"That means she could be using them,"

"I wouldn't worry about them much,"

"Why though?"

"I have my reasons and besides, Calice and Chris got them covered,"

The previous day
(After the deal for the hybrid pack was sealed)

"Why'd you wish to see me?" Calice asked.

"Relax sissy. I have no intention to hurt you,"

Julia took a seat at Calice's place whilst grabbing an apple. 

"If you're going to take his long to tell me then fine. I'll go first,"

Calice took a seat on the bed as she crossed her legs. 

"There is something wrong with the four Geminus's auras,"

"Exactly what I was going to talk about,"

"Why didn't you say anything back then?"

"Because they're not aware of it,"

Calice looked into the empty space, frowning as she almost had it figured. 

"What should we do?"

"Remind Chris of the appearance you guys altered 400 years ago,"

"She still lives?!"

"Yep!"

Julia finished the apple and threw the core into the trash can before standing up and heading to the balcony and looking back through her side eye. 

"I split because of that wench, from the moment I smelt her stinking aura on those wolves,"
