Chapter 184: Kylo, The Killjoy
Kylo seemed to be faltering, as he struggled with what to say. However, he finally shut his eyes tightly, shoving Fergus away, the latter falling butt-first to the ground.
"Dude, you’re not in love with me," Kylo said sternly. "It’s just lust. It’s always just fun with you, Cullen. Yes, you’re gay, but you don’t even try settling down with anyone. And for the last time, I am NOT gay."
Fergus felt like face-palming himself. For the love of everything unholy, why was Kylo so uptight?!
Even though he was frustrated inside, Fergus didn’t let that reflect on his exterior demeanor, as he pretended to be affected by Kylo’s push and words.
"Ow!" Fergus yelped, giving Kylo a pained look. Then, with a cracked voice, he spoke. "Why are you doing this to me, Kylo? You know you like me too. You can feel the pull too. We’re soulmates."
Fergus smirked secretly to himself when he saw Kylo retch at his words. He looked at Fergus, disgust and annoyance laced in his voice. "Soulmates my ass!" Kylo snarled, rubbing his forehead before continuing. "Listen, Cullen, there can never be a ’me and you’. Ever. The sooner you get that into your head, the better."
As Kylo turned to leave, Fergus suddenly recalled the reason he had interrupted Kylo’s training.
"Hey, what’re you even training for anyway?" He inquired, getting up himself and dusting his body.
Without turning, Kylo replied with a harrumph. "Cullen, this is something you wouldn’t be of much use in."
Fergus tilted his head. Oh, now he was even more curious.
With Kylo not looking, he took advantage of the situation. Fergus zoomed to him with his vamp speed, blocking his advancement. Kylo frowned, opening his mouth a little in surprise.
"Still think I’m useless, Kylo darling?" He arched his eyebrows with a knowing grin.
Kylo looked away, much to Fergus’s amusement.
"Okay, fine. It’s not like you wouldn’t hear it from the news tomorrow morning anyway." Kylo sighed to himself first before continuing. "The higher-ups in the pack have a plan in place. In two days, all firstborn males of each family will be enlisted to join the pack’s army. Then, they’d be trained under the guidance of the Gamma and Beta to prepare against the vampires." 𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝒎
Fergus couldn’t help frowning to himself. These pesky wolves! Did they really think enlisting a bunch of civilians into the army would amount to much?
It seemed they required another attack to remind them of their place...
Suddenly, Kylo smirked at Fergus, causing him to squint his eyes. So, the Gamma’s son was capable of smiling at him? Miracles do happen!
However, the words that came out of Kylo’s mouth next made Fergus once again second-guess his choice of taking Cullen’s body. "Now you see why I said this information wouldn’t be of use to you? With you being one of the girls and all, you don’t have to worry about being enlisted."
Fergus bit his lips. Touchè Kylo.
Touchè...
Kylo laughed at his own joke before heading back home, leaving Fergus to his thoughts.
The Raven Wood keepers pack were stepping up their game in this war. Hmph! It was about time.
But now, Fergus felt a bit lost on what to do. He had this nagging feeling that something wasn’t right with this new plan. He secretly wished his brothers and sisters luck, trusting in the Vampire lord’s leadership.
.
Fergus and Kylo reached the Gamma’s house around the same time. They met Lupe sleeping soundly on a sofa, exhausted.
Fergus smirked to himself. Why wouldn’t she be tired after getting so much pleasure from him earlier today?
"At least Lupe was able to get some sleep." Kylo sighed, looking at her with pity. "Poor girl, she’s lost so much already."
"We all have, Kylo," Fergus skillfully conveyed a shared sense of camaraderie with the wolves.
Kylo shot him a glance, smiling wryly at him.
Two smiles in one night from him. That was delicious progress!
Fergus decided to push his luck as he stretched like a cat, rather than a wolf. He threw an arm around Kylo’s shoulder, flashing a toothy grin.
"Holy moonlight! It’s been one heck of a day, huh Kylo?" He asked with a carefree tone.
Kylo arched an eyebrow, looking at him weirdly. "I don’t know, you tell me."
Oh, you have no idea Kylo...
"Say, Isleen probably wouldn’t be coming back till tomorrow. And, seeing as Lupe is asleep and your dad isn’t here either–" Fergus’s voice was already brimming with excitement, but Kylo just had to be a killjoy.
"I know where you’re going with this, Cullen. And the simple answer is no." Kylo eyed Fergus with a frown, before forcefully removing his arm from his shoulder.
Not sparing Fergus another glance, Kylo walked away, heading for the stairs.
But Fergus was relentless. "What’s the ’hard’ answer then?"
Kylo paused. Without looking back, he spoke up. "That you can go fuck yourself, dude."
And with that, Kylo rushed to his room, slamming the door behind him.
Fergus scoffed.
He’d teach that stubborn Gamma’s son a thing or two about manners someday. But right now, his gaze lingered on Lupe. He felt the urge to pounce on her since he wasn’t able to have his way with Kylo yet again. So, he climbed on top of her, causing her to wake up.
She seemed dazed at first, but then her eyes shone with astonishment when she saw Fergus on top of her, a sly grin on his face.
Before she could say something out loud, Fergus hushed her with his hands.
"Ready for another round of pleasure, mignon?" Fergus purred in French, grinning widely when he felt Lupe’s resistance crumble down.
Like a hungry lioness, as if she hadn’t been sleeping a few seconds ago, she drew in Fergus for a sloppy kiss. Soon, Fergus was even more turned on, as he yanked her out of the sofa, taking her upstairs to her and Isleen’s room.
.
.
The next morning, Kylo had already gone out to work. Lupe had also gone job hunting, to gather more money for rebuilding her mom’s house.
As for Fergus, he sat lazily on a sofa in the living room. On the TV, there was breaking news concerning the enlistment program Kylo told him about last night. Not just first males, but any man over eighteen was advised to volunteer too If they were willing.
Fergus rubbed his head with annoyance. If Kylo was enlisting, it meant he’d also have to tag along. He wasn’t sure if Cullen was the first male of his family, and didn’t even know if he had any family within the pack, but at least now that wasn’t a necessary prerequisite for joining.
Just as Fergus was about to change the channel out of boredom, the living room door burst wide open. And then came in Isleen, looking distraught.
Look who finally decided to leave her mate’s side.
"Cullen," Isleen called out, her voice shaking as tears welled up in her eyes. "I think I made a terrible mistake."
Fergus raised an eyebrow, feigning concern, but deep down he was trying hard to conceal the huge grin that was threatening to burst out.
