Ileus: The Dark Prince-Chapter 692 Feelings

As Kaizan guided his sister to the backyard, he whispered, "I know this is new to you, but I also understand your emotions." He wondered if Paige was even listening to him because she was struggling to have some semblance of control over her wolf. A low growl rumbled her chest.

Clutching her gown on both the sides with her hands, she walked with him with her heart like a wild animal trying to escape her chest. And her wolf—it just wanted to come out and be with her mates. She wanted to understand her emotions. They were all over the place and then some more.

Kaizan brought her to the backyard. As soon as he opened the glass door of the backyard, he saw that Ileus had accompanied the two spies and they were now standing under a willow. His eyes were glowing golden as if warning them something drastic. When his gaze met with Kaizan, he left the spies and strode to him. With his hands on his waist, he said, "This is the oddest situation I have ever come across! I always thought that she was interested in women. How come she got twins as mates? This is... bizarre!"

Kaizan scoffed as he watched his sister walking with trepidation towards the twins. "Telling me?" He exhaled nervously as he looked inside the banquet halls. The hall was teeming with guests. Soldiers jesting with each other or some trying to talk to the king and the queen. "Paige's past lovers had been women. So yeah! This is going to be crazy not only for her but for them too!" He moved his chin in the direction of the twins. He remembered how Bernice fled with her mate the moment she saw him, and he marveled that Paige was exercising control over herself.

"Do we stand here as their guard?" Ileus asked. "I am afraid that they might take her with them to the jungles."

"Can you create a spell around them so that they don't run to the jungles or anywhere around the property?"

"Would that be wise?" Ileus countered. "What if they want to lope to the jungles? It is their natural instinct."

"I don't want Paige making an impulsive decision!"

"She wouldn't," Ileus said. "I mean look at her past history. You have to trust her."

"Can you trust yourself around Anastasia?" Kaizan growled.

Ileus jerked his head back. He stared at Kaizan for a moment and said, "Did you forget that I stayed in Vilinski for a year before I could get close to Anastasia? Did you not know that she was my mate?"

Kaizan was speechless. He lowered his head and a ragged breath escaped his lips. He did remember how Ileus had exerted control over himself and he knew that it was too difficult for him. He raked his fingers in his hair. "I remember, Aly, but Paige is not like you..."

"Paige is having so many doubts about herself and so are the twins that it is highly unlikely that they will run to the jungles," Ileus said. "However, what I am going to do is create a spell around the estate so that they don't go out of this place." His eyes shone a flicker of golden. He waved his hand in the air. Tiny pinpricks of yellow light sizzled and left his fingertips. They floated in the air forming a line and then traveled at speed outside the backyard, disappearing in the darkness of the night. He brushed his hands and said, "Now, we can go in." He motioned Kaizan with his chin to the banquet hall. Kaizan took a look at Paige and the twins and then walked inside with Ileus. While Ileus went to his mother and father, Kaizan went to Olivia who was standing with Nate and Ooksahi.

"Are those her mates?" asked Nate.

Kaizan bobbed his head with anxiety.

"Oh my god!" Ookashi said, pressing her hand to her chest. "This is strange!" Her mouth fell to the floor as she blinked her eyes at Kaizan.

Nate circled his arm around her shoulder and said, "Let's see how this pans out..."

On the outside, Paige stood in front of the twins, totally shocked. The twins were staring at her with possessiveness so strong that their chest and shoulder muscles bulged. Their fangs had descended and both were growling. "I am Paige..." she introduced herself, feeling so funny that she was introducing herself to her mates. She looked from one twin to the other. Both were identical and the only difference between them was that one had arched eyebrows while the other had straight. Their square jawline, aquiline nose and high cheekbones that could cut metal, were alike. And according to her, the twins were the most beautiful men in the world. Her wolf immediately craved for the warmth of their bodies. The thought of both of them pressing their bodies against her made her flush to the root of her hair.

"I am Connor," said the one with arched eyebrows in a low husky voice that was enough to send Paige's heart to a toss.

"And I am Tyler," whispered the one with straight eyebrows. He was looking at her as if he was suffering with agony.

After that none of them knew what to do. It was either they succumbed to their instincts or they... talked.

"I am unable to hold myself," she said as her lips quivered. The feeling was intense and she wanted to embrace them and do something. And at the same time, she was too conflicted about her feelings.

Connor chuckled restlessly. "Neither can I."

"But there's a lot I want to talk to you about before—" she said gazing at their full lips. ƒr𝒆𝑒𝔀e𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃𝐞𝑙. c𝗼m

"Before what?" asked Tyler as he gave her a warning growl. His fists were balled so tight that his knuckles went white.

Paige swallowed. Her throat was choked with an acidic taste of nervousness. "Before we go any further—," she said, her voice ragged.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" Tyler asked, as he took a step forward. His demeanor was menacing. He looked as if he would kill the boy right now.

"No, but there is something else..." she said. "I really want to—" she wanted to raise her hand and brush the skin of Tyler's arms. "Gods above!" She resisted and the struggle was painful.

"You want to talk about it," Connor said, dipping his chin low. Even though he too seemed too eager to claim her just like Tyler, he was the one who had more patience. Tyler on the other hand was impatient as hell. If it had been for him, he would have already wrapped his arms around Paige and pressed her against his chest.

Paige nodded. "Let's get out of here." Saying that she started to walk towards the door that led outside the manor. She stopped to look over her shoulder and saw that the twins were following closely. She took a deep breath and stepped out. She had to tell them about her preferences and that it was all too new for her. She didn't know whether she wanted to reject them or not, but at this point when she had come out of a painful relationship, the idea of having a mate was delightful. The feeling was pleasant.
