Veylor was pulling his shirt off when Korrin stormed into the room. The door banged against the stone wall.

"Korrin," He called out, surprised to see her.

She walked to the table and dropped the pitcher and goblets on it. Veylor walked back to the door. He looked through the hallway to make sure no one saw her come in. The hallway was quiet, so he had to shut the door. Korrin poured wine into one of the goblets and drank the whole contents in three hard swallows.

Veylor moved closer to her. He knew what must have happened. His brother had that effect on her.

"I’m guessing my brother turned you down again." He said.

Korrin did not say anything. She poured another round and was about to drink it when Veylor snatched it from her. He tried not to laugh. The situation was almost funny if it were not so predictable.

"That’s enough. You don’t need to get drunk."

Korrin tried to snatch the goblet back, but his hand grabbed her waist and pulled her closer to him. Her hands fell on his chest. His skin was warm. Then he drank the wine himself.

"Theron is so annoying!" She gritted.

Veylor looked down at her. "What do you expect? It’s obvious my brother is clearly in love with his mate."

Korrin hissed. She ran a hand through her hair. "I wish I could grab that heiress and pull out her hair for snatching my man."

Veylor snorted. "Your man? What about me?"

Korrin met his gaze. "You are not my man."

Veylor felt a sting at that. He had been spending nights with her for months. He had been the one she ran to every time Theron pushed her away. Even when he had left to be with his mate in Lycanthria, he had kept her company.

"So what have we been doing this whole time?" He asked.

"We enjoy keeping each other’s company," Korrin replied.

She tried to move away from him, but he held her closer. His fingers pressed into her hip.

Veylor leaned down towards her ears. "Is it so hard for you to see that I could be better than my brother?" He whispered.

Her fingers traced his bare chest to his shoulder blades. "I admit the sex is good. You listen. You cheer me up. But you can’t be better than Theron." She mumbled.

Veylor’s jaw tightened. "Because I am not an alpha? So you can be my Luna?" He scoffed.

"Yes," Korrin admitted.

Veylor leaned up, his gaze hard. He stepped away from her. He had heard that before, how he can never be like or better than his brother. From his father. From the elders. From every woman who looked past him to see his older brother.

Veylor poured himself another glass of wine and drank it at once. "What if I become the alpha? Will you consider me your man then? Or perhaps better than my brother?"

Korrin stepped closer to him again. Her fingers traced his bare chest. She dragged one nail down his sternum.

She said, "I might consider it."

Veylor smiled. It was not a happy smile. It was the smile of someone who had just found a way to win.

"How do you plan to be alpha?" she asked.

"It is simple. My brother is bound to stay by the heiress’s side once they are married. Since Lycanthria can only have one King, Theron is in the best position to be crowned out of all the Heiress’ mates. And an Alpha—"

Korrin cut him off mid-sentence. "He cannot possibly rule as Alpha from the kingdom." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Veylor shook his head. "Once the wedding happens, Theron will have to choose. Either he stays with his mate in Lycanthria, or he comes back here and rules alone. I am certain he would choose the former."

"It is a smart plan. But how sure are you that Theron will declare you alpha and not just an overseer? What about the elders? Do they consider you fit to be their leader?"

"I have been diligently serving this pack. So I have a bigger plan." He answered.

"I do not want to be involved in your plans. All I care about is being Luna." Her fingers traced down to his abs and then to his groin.

She found his member already hard. She gave it a hard squeeze. Veylor moaned. He let the goblet slip from his hand, and it dropped on the floor. It clattered against the stone and rolled under the table.

"How about I make you forget your worries for the night?" Veylor muttered.

Korrin flashed him a seductive smile. It was the kind of smile she gave him every time she wanted something. He knew Korrin only wanted him for sexual satisfaction. A replacement for his brother’s absence. But he did not care anymore.

"I’d love that," Korrin answered.

Then Veylor grabbed her face and kissed her hard. She kissed him back. Her hands moved up into his hair. The kiss was rough. Tongue clashed. Teeth clashed. They ate at each other’s lips.

When they broke apart, they were both breathing heavily, and their eyes were filled with lust.

"You are not him." She said in a tight whisper.

"No. I am not. But I am here. And he is not."

She looked at him for a long moment. "Fuck me, Veylor."

"As you wish, my lady."

Then she pulled his mouth back down to hers. He walked her backward toward the bed. He licked her bottom lip, and she opened her mouth for his tongue to explore hers. He ripped off her dress in one motion while she pulled the strings of his leather trousers and pushed them down his knees. Veylor stepped out of it. His cock was fully erect.

"You are so hard." She stroked him a few times.

"You drive me insane." He grunted.

Veylor pushed her down on the bed. She fell onto the bed and pulled him down on top of her. He kissed her neck. She moaned in his ears.

He sucked on every part of her skin. She breathed out heavily.

"Oh, Veylor...take all of me. Now."

He removed her pants and sniffed them. The fabric was soaking wet.

"What the hell did you do with Theron?"

"Don’t ask questions. Just fuck me." Korrin moaned in frustration. She gave her boobs a hard squeeze.

He tossed the underwear aside. His fingers moved to her clit and started rubbing it slowly. He bent down and started to kiss her inner thighs.

"Oh yes..."

He kissed her clit and licked it down to her entrance. She grabbed a fistful of his hair when he pushed his tongue into her core. He continued to rub her clit with his thumb.

"Oh yes...Veylor. Fuck me now." She ground her pussy against his face.

Veylor teased her core with his tongue until he felt her walls tighten. He replaced his tongue with two fingers and thrust in and out a few times.

Korrin stopped him. "Make me cum with your cock!" She groaned in frustration.

Veylor pulled out his fingers and moved up to kiss her lips softly. He knelt between her legs and pushed his cock into her core.

"Hmmm...right there..." She giggled.

"Do you feel good?" He pulled out and thrust in again.

"Fucking yes!" She gasped.

"Do you like my cock in your damn pussy?!" He grunted.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

He grabbed her leg and put it on his shoulder to get better access. He hit her sweet spot.

"Ugh! Yes!" She moaned.

Veylor started to thrust harder. The sound of skin on skin hit the room. Their moans and series of grunts were in sync. He kissed her leg and suck on her toes. He pounded faster until she felt a knot in her stomach, and her walls tightened.

"I’m—close!"

"Together. As. Always." Veylor groaned.

He spread her legs wide and positioned himself between her legs. He hovered over her, his hands by the side of her waist, and their eyes locked. He drove into her at an insane pace until he felt his cock enlarge in her core. Her pussy clenched at his length. After a few more thrusts, they both came. His cum filled her walls.

Veylor did a final slam and pulled out of her core. He collapsed next to her on the bed.

After a few minutes of silence, their breathing was even and calm. Korrin lay on her back staring at the ceiling. Veylor was on his side, watching her.

"What’s running through your mind?"

She turned on her side to look at him. "Your big plans. If you go ahead with it, there is no going back. And if things go wrong, Theron will not forgive you."

Veylor moved closer until there was no space between them. His fingers traced the lines of her jaw. "Theron does not need to forgive me. He needs to be gone." He pressed a soft kiss on her lips.

She didn’t respond to the kiss. "You really think you can pull this off?"

"I have to succeed to make you mine." He replied. He sounded so confident and determined.

Korrin pulled away from him and sat up. "Alright. So how long do I have to wait to be your Luna?"

"You will not have to wait for long. Theron leaves for the Seven Kingdoms soon. I’ll set the ball in motion after he’s gone."

"I’m leaving with him," Korrin said.

"What?!" Veylor sat up quickly. "Why? He doesn’t need you there."

"I suggested going with him."

"Why?"

She studied his face. She wanted to tell him she had her own plans, but that would discourage him.

"Think about it." She moved and straddled him. "If I go with Theron and help him win my brother’s favor. The king will be pleased. The council will acknowledge him as fit to be king." She pushed him back down on the bed. "That way, you have a free pass to become Alpha."

Veylor thought about it. He hated the idea of her being with his brother. She grabbed his cock from behind and slid it into her core. The act disrupted his train of thought. He let out a soft moan.

Korrin started moving against him. "What do you think?"

Veylor nodded once. He shut his eyes. "Good."

"Keep your eyes open!" She snapped.

He reopened his eyes. She took his hands and directed them at her boobs. He squeezed her nipples, sending a wave of pleasure through her belly. She continued to grind against him slowly. His cock was fully erected and was buried deep to the hilt inside her walls.

Veylor pushed her down on him. She fell easily, and her head rested on his chest. His hand gripped her tightly by the waist. He slammed into her. She gasped.

"Your brother is a fool." She said.

"I know." He shoved his cock in again. This time, his tip hit her sweet spot.

"For choosing her over me."

Veylor said nothing to that. Because he knew the truth. Theron was not a fool for choosing his mate. Theron was a fool for other reasons. But Veylor did not correct her. He let her believe what she wanted. That was how he kept her close.

He knew he was no match for his brother. Theron had everything. The title. The mate. The respect of the elders. He only had a half-empty room, a woman who wanted his brother, and a hunger that had been building since childhood.

Veylor closed his eyes as he continued to ram into her pussy. Soon, he would set his plans in motion. But for now, he had to let himself enjoy the feel of her cunt gripping his cock.
