"It’s alright. This little torture is nothing. We should focus on serving our mate, treating her like our Queen, and making her feel good. Even though we’re burning with desire, it should be our honor..."
"Serving her, pleasing her, it should be about us, yes, but more importantly, it’s about her. We should be content with that. We shouldn’t be like the other two, impatient and always thinking with their lower half. We must nurture our feelings for Addison first..." Levi said reverently to his wolf, baring his true feelings.
"But if I remember correctly," his wolf teased, "that wasn’t quite what you were thinking earlier..."
"Ehem!" Levi cleared his throat in his mind, trying to push away the heat of embarrassment as his wolf stared at him, unrelenting.
"How much of my feelings were actually yours? Don’t you know better than anyone that we share the same emotions? Your insistence, your instinct pushing so hard to mate, it affects me too; that’s why I struggled to resist the urge to mate with Addison."
"But you know how much I respect her. I want to stand with her, head held high. Unlike Zion and Maxwell, who are both Alphas, we are different. We shouldn’t mimic them, shouldn’t be impatient with Addison, or it could backfire. Luckily, I managed to hold myself back at the last possible moment. Otherwise... what would be the difference between us and them?"
Levi retorted, and deep down, he knew he wasn’t wrong.
Werewolves don’t just share a body with their wolves; they share emotions and feelings as well. While the wolf’s instincts are more raw and innocent, they can still influence their human counterpart’s thoughts and emotions by roughly 20%. When a wolf pushes for something, like mating, their human half inevitably feels it too, which can subtly shape their decisions and reactions.
So earlier, what Levi was thinking and feeling wasn’t entirely his own. Part of it came from him, another part came from his wolf, and another part of it arose from somewhere else, somewhere beyond himself.
But he wanted to leave a lasting impression on Addison, especially since they had been friends before, and he was her Gamma. Breaking the barrier from friendship to something more was far harder than transitioning from lovers to enemies or enemies to lovers, as there were moments when he had to be careful not to disrupt the status quo or risk ruining their friendship.
That’s why he felt so different from Zion and Maxwell: one had once been her chosen mate, and the other had started as a blank slate. Levi knew he had to work harder than the two of them.
Beyond that, what they can offer is different. While the other two could give Addison strength and power through their support, Levi wanted to provide her with stability, understanding, and unwavering care.
He wanted to approach his relationship with her differently. Luckily, the physical intimacy they were sharing helped clear his mind, offering him a fleeting sense of direction, one more way he could support Addison.
Instead of sinking into depression and insecurity, he could channel his strength elsewhere.
But that moment of clarity was brief. Desire surged through him, burning like molten magma in his veins. As he stroked himself, the veins along his hands, arms, and neck stood out, a testament to how hard he was restraining himself. He didn’t want to startle Addison by losing control, yet at the same time, he needed to satiate the scorching hunger building within him.
"Ugh!" Levi grunted, stroking himself harder as he continued pleasuring Addison. Desire and her pheromones swirled around him, clouding his mind. He felt light-headed, caught between the need to make her feel good and the uncooperative urges of his own body.
"Don’t think this has anything to do with me..." Levi’s wolf suddenly interjected, trying to avoid blame. What Levi was feeling now was entirely his own, and his wolf hadn’t pushed him toward mating this time.
"Shut up..." Levi groaned inside his head, heat rising in embarrassment. Just moments ago, he had been scolding his wolf, and now it was his own body defying him, making it even harder to hold back.
