Xander

"Brother!" I raised my head at my Sage's call. I had been going over the never-ending paperwork that went along with managing our foundation and investments. I welcomed any distraction I could get.

"What's happening, baby sister?" I laced my hands behind my head and stretched as she came running through my study door.

"I was down near Four Corners and there's a woman camped there. The woman." I raised my eyebrows in question. "The one from town, Vivi Fenrir. I never dreamed she'd come so close to our property. What do you want to do?"

My posture instantly shifted. Every muscle in my body tensed at the thought of her being so close. The woman called Fenrir Sage had mentioned earlier. Surely it couldn't be a coincidence.

"I've got to speak to Kane." I tried to quench the lick of hope that flared in my chest. I kissed Sage on the top of her head as I ducked out of the room. "Thank you, sister."

Quickly finding my second, Kane and I shifted and set off to check out this woman my sister had mentions. We loped across the forest floor toward the campground our large, padded feet making barely a sound.

With our heightened vision in our shifted state and the full moon illuminating our way, the dark woods were almost as bright as day. The small human campground was only five miles from the pack compound. It was an easy run to check out this woman with the name of the Norse wolf born of the god Loki.

My nose to the wind, I skidded to a halt when a captivating scent curled around my head and teased my nostrils. Kane stopped and trotted back to me. We spoke in our telepathic language, Rhuhi, that we used in our wolf forms.

"What's wrong, Alpha? We have another mile to the campground," Kane asked.

"Don't you smell that?" I stood stock still, staring into the darkness. I sniffed again. That scent, intoxicating. It wrapped around my senses until nothing else could penetrate. My fur rippled across my body in pleasure. My eyes closed and a low growl hummed through my deep chest.

Kane tilted his head in confusion but raised his long nose to give a deep sniff. Suddenly, his eyes widened. "What is that delectable smell?"

"I don't know, something…magical." Without warning, I shifted to my human form and Kane quickly followed suit.

We stood, sniffing the air as if in a trance. A slight smile played on our lips. Despite the cold, I felt my cock standing to attention, my arousal growing as the intoxicating fragrance danced through my body and mind.

Kane apparently wasn’t much better off. When I glanced at him, his eyes were closed and he rubbed at the stylized wolf tattoo on his chest that every member of the pack sported somewhere on their bodies.

I did the same, the ink warming under my hand. It was all I could do to not take my cock in my hand and stroke myself to completion. As hard as I was, I didn’t think it would take a moment.

"Xander, what is it, brother?" Kane’s eyes slowly opened and his expression was almost pained under the ecstasy.

I started to walk slowly along the animal track we had been following to the campground. "I'm not sure. I just know I need to find her." Her? Where had that come from? But as the thought flitted through my head, I knew it as sure as my own name. "Yes, that's it - a female. That's it. I must find her."

I started to move more quickly, ignoring the branches lashing my human skin, and the stones and sticks bruising my feet.

"Alpha, wait for me!" Kane caught up in three quick strides and ran alongside me trying to keep up with my much longer strides.

Soon, we were at the edge of the campground. A smoldering fire in the stone lined pit burned merrily and there was a large, family-sized tent pitched near a red Jeep Cherokee. We stared, noses in the air, searching desperately for the source of the completely intoxicating scent.

A beautiful melody suddenly curled around my head like a sweet smoke. A song coming from the voice of an angel. I closed my eyes and swayed like a lovesick pup. Without conscious thought, my feet started moving toward the music.

Luckily, my Beta showed slightly more control this time and threw up an arm to stop me from going any farther. My eyes popped open and a low growl escaped my throat.  “You were about to walk right into the human's camp." He scanned me up and down. "Like that."

I looked down at myself and saw the bleeding scratches covering my body and felt the pain on the bottom of my feet. I also noted I was so hard it was almost painful. Before I could ask more questions, the tantalizing scent came again. My head tipped back, and I groaned in pleasure. A shudder ran through me. "She's here," I said huskily.

Kane’s breath came in deep gasps and I could tell he was fighting for control as well. He whipped a hand up to his face and held his nose like he could block the scent from affecting him. It must have worked somewhat as he was able to take a strong hold of my arm and give me a quick shake. I would normally never be manhandled this way, but these were extenuating circumstances.

"We have to shift, Alpha. Heal our injuries and hide ourselves. If the woman is here, she's going to panic if she sees two large, tattooed, strange men walking into her camp. Shift, man!"

Finally hearing my friend's words. I dropped my head, sighed heavily, and with more effort than it had required in centuries, shifted. Kane quickly followed suit in relief. We melted back into the tree line and started to circle the camp.

The woman seemed to be alone. There was no evidence of any other presence. The smell of honeysuckle and vanilla permeated my senses as we got closer and closer to the tent. I could smell the lingering scent of coffee in the air as well as frying meat but overlying all these basic scents was the one that tugged at my very soul. Something unique to this female I had never scented before. I couldn't help but follow it and quickly found myself closing in on the woman's bright orange tent. Kane rushed to my side, calling to me in Rhuhi.

"Jesus, Alpha! What is happening to us?"

"I don’t know but it’s the most amazing thing I have ever experienced. I don't just smell it. It has invaded all my senses and my mind. I feel...alive!" My whole body shuddered again; my body so sensitized that the breeze rustling my fur had me groaning in need. I tried to move closer to the tent, but Kane suddenly blocked me with his body.

His black hackles rose and he bared a sharp canine. The shock of this show of aggression had me freezing in my tracks. My lips curled up in response and a low rumble sounded in my chest. Kane suddenly looked ashamed and cut his eyes from mine.

“I am so sorry, Alpha! I-I don’t know what came over me.” He lowered himself to the ground in front of me, showing his neck in a show of submission.

"Get up, Kane. I don’t know what’s happening either, only that I've never experienced anything like this before." I turned my head back to the tent. "I must see her, brother."

Kane swallowed and panted heavily, looking from me to the tent where a light suddenly clicked on.”

I whined and nearly came right there as the silhouette of a curvy woman stood outlined against the thin orange fabric of the tent.

My heart thudded so hard against my chest I thought my ribs would crack. Cutting a glance at my Beta, I knew he felt it, too-- an overwhelming need to see this woman, to touch her, to claim her. The need settled into the very marrow of my bones.

Then I heard the teeth of the zipper that closed the tent flaps start to part.

    I gazed through the trees at the woman emerging from her tent. She was tall and voluptuous, with long, shapely legs that seemed to go on forever. The sleeping shorts she wore clung to her hips and ass, hugging her curves in all the right places. A pair of thick, woolen socks covered her calves, the bright colors a cheerful contrast to the muted tones of the forest.Her top was thin and long-sleeved, but it did little to conceal her full, bountiful breasts. I could see her nipples straining against the fabric, hard peaks that begged to be touched, tasted. A light dusting of freckles trailed across her shoulders and down her arms, a tantalizing roadmap I longed to explore with my tongue.She was breathtaking. Exquisite. The most beautiful creature I had ever laid eyes on. And the scent...gods, the scent. It wrapped around me like a warm embrace, soothing the beast that raged within me even as it stoked the fires of my desire.Beside me, Kane let out a low, needy whine. I could feel his

I could feel the heat building between my legs, the ache growing with every passing second.Behind me, Kane pressed closer, his body a wall of solid muscle and warmth. His hands gripped my hips, holding me steady as Xander explored my curves with a reverent touch."This is crazy," I breathed, but even as I said it, I knew it was true and false at the same time. Something had come over me with the arrival of these two men out of the dark woods. I didn't know exactly what was happening but I couldn't seem to feel anything but need, want, and safety as strange hands, teeth and lips played over my body.

    Kane The sight of Vivian coming apart beneath our touch was the most erotic thing I had ever witnessed. Her body arched off the ground, her back bowing as wave after wave of pleasure crashed over her. She was exquisite, a goddess in the throes of ecstasy, and she was ours.As she slowly came down from her high, her body going limp and pliant beneath us, I felt a surge of possessiveness, a primal need to claim her, to make her ours in every way possible.With only a glance at Xander, he seemed to understand what I needed. We shifted positions, with my moving to lie between our mate's supple, spread thighs while he moved up her body licking and sucking until he reached her sweet mouth.

    ViviI woke slowly, my body warm and comfortable, nestled in a bed of... fur? I tried to pull up my blankets, but they seemed to resist, and a soft growl echoed near my ear. My eyes flew open, and I found myself surrounded by two massive wolves—one pure white, the other solid black.Panic surged through me for a moment, but it was quickly replaced by a strange calm as memories of the night before flooded back. The wolves in the campground, the intense connection, the... transformation. Xander and Kane. The things we did, the pleasure we shared. It was all so surreal, yet I couldn't deny the reality of it.I studied the wolves, their forms familiar even in this wild state. The white wolf had to be Xander, his eyes a piercing blue, watching me intently. The black wolf, Kane, with his dark, almost obsidian gaze, was no less striking. I should have been terrified, but all I felt was a sense of peace, of rightness."Xander? Kane?" I whispered, reaching out tentatively to touch their fur. Th

    XanderThe howl echoed through the forest, a summons that couldn't be ignored. Kane and I tore through the underbrush, our paws pounding against the earth, our hearts racing in our chests. We knew that sound, recognized the urgency in it. Our pack needed us.We ran side by side, our bodies moving in sync, our breaths fogging in the cool morning air. The scent of pine and earth filled our nostrils, the familiar smells of our territory grounding us even as our minds raced with thoughts of what could be wrong.As we approached the edge of our pack's lands, we slowed, our ears pricked forward, listening for any signs of danger. Another howl sounded, closer this time, and we followed it, our steps cautious but determined. We found them in a clearing, our packmates gathered in a loose circle, their bodies tense, their eyes watchful. As we got closer, the circle opened to reveal a strange wolf, his eyes a piercing green, his fur a mottled gray, and covered in blood, pain obvious in every te

    Vivi I looked up as Xander and Kane approached, their expressions serious and urgent. The sight of them, naked and powerful, should have been distracting, but the intensity in their eyes kept me focused. I set my coffee cup down, standing to face them."What's going on?" I asked, my voice steady despite the flutter of nerves in my stomach.Xander stepped forward, his blue eyes piercing. "Vivi, there's been an incident. A nearby pack was attacked by poachers. We need to move you to our compound where you'll be safe."I blinked, taken aback. "Move me? I can't just up and leave. I have a job to do here. I'm not some damsel in distress who needs protecting."Xander's jaw tightened, a flash of frustration in his eyes. "Vivi, this is serious. These poachers are using silver bullets. They're targeting wolves, and they won't hesitate to hurt anyone who gets in their way."I crossed my arms, my own frustration rising. "I understand that, but I can't just abandon my work.

    I stormed into the healer's cabin, the scent of antiseptic and worry hanging heavy in the air. I had heard the whispers, the rumors that my brothers had found their mate. But I didn't believe it. How could they be so sure, so soon? And a human, no less. It went against everything we stood for, everything we were. I was determined to get to the bottom of this, to prove that this woman was nothing more than a distraction, a danger to our pack. Another nail in the coffin of my brother's leadership of the pack.I found Sage in the kitchen, her hands wrapped around a mug of tea, her eyes distant. She looked up as I entered, a small smile playing on her lips. "Dax," she greeted, her voice soft. "I was wondering when you'd show up."I crossed my arms over my chest, my stance wide and commanding. "I heard about the woman, Sage. The one Xander and Kane are claiming is their mate. I don't believe it."Sage sighed, setting her mug down on the counter. "I knew you'd be like this.

"How?" she demanded.I took a step closer, enjoying the way her pupils dilated at my nearness, the way her breath hitched in her throat. "I'm sure you'll figure something out. You obviously convinced Xander and Kane. But I will not be so easily fooled. Prove you're mine." The last word was a low growl, and I saw the effect it had on her. Her pulse quickened, and she licked her lips, her eyes dropping to my mouth. I could smell the sudden surge of desire that arced between us, and it was then that I knew I'd won. She wanted me, and not just as a brother or a friend. I saw Sage watching us intently from the corner of my eye, and I knew she understood the game I was playing, the stakes involved. I knew she'd be running to my brother if anything went down between me and the human she didn't like.Vivi took

    The scent of burning sage lingered in the air, mingling with the faint musk of leather and old parchment. Inside the library, Kelda carefully turned the brittle pages of an ancient tome, her fingers tracing the faint Norse etchings. The firelight from the hearth flickered against the towering bookshelves, casting moving shadows across the worn wooden floor.“It’s here,” Kelda murmured at last, her voice carrying an almost reverent tone. Her silver-blue eyes glinted as she leaned closer to the text, examining the runes etched into the faded vellum. “The Starfire bond... it’s older than we even imagined.”Across the oak table, Liza looked up sharply, her pen poised halfway through a line in her leather-bound journal. She adjusted her glasses and scooted her chair closer, her curiosity palpable.“What does it say?” Liza asked, her voice imbued with a mix of scholarly interest and trepidation.Kelda exhaled, scanning the runes again to be certain of her translation. “It’s not just any bon

    Dax released the taller man roughly, his expression a mixture of triumph and grim satisfaction. "Well, there it is," he said darkly. "The Broker. Exactly what I thought."Gunnar folded his arms, his eyes narrowed as he studied the hunters. "The Broker’s involved. Now we’re getting somewhere."Xander entered then, his white braid streaked with blood, his presence commanding as ever. His ice-blue gaze settled on the hunters, and a cold smile curled his lips. "Good," he said, his voice smooth but deadly. "Because now we have names to go with the bodies."At the name, the shorter hunter flinched. Dax caught it instantly, his sharp eyes narrowing."There’s a nerve," he said, his voice dropping dangerously as he moved to stand behind the second man. "The Broker. Who is he? What does he want?"The hunter said nothing, his lips pressed tightly together, but the thinning of his resolve was visible in the way his body trembled. Gunnar, ever-watchful, picked up on it too. He leaned forward, his

    The secured cabin at the edge of the compound felt suffocating. The air was heavy, thick with tension and the acrid scent of sweat and blood. Gunnar stood with his arms crossed, his massive frame casting an imposing shadow over the two captured hunters. Behind him, Dax paced like a wildcat, his frustration palpable with every step.The hunters sat shackled to their chairs, the enchanted chains faintly glowing as they suppressed any attempt to resist. They were bloodied from the fight but defiant, their eyes blazing with misplaced righteousness.Dax lunged toward the taller hunter, his voice a low snarl. "You’re going to tell us what we want to know." His fists clenched at his sides, itching to make good on his promise. "Who sent you? Who’s ‘The Broker’?"The hunter looked up, his gaze sharp and unyielding, his lip curling into a sneer. "I don’t answer to animals."The room seemed to hold its breath at his words. It was like tossing a lit match into a room full of gasoline fumes. Dax’s

    The door burst open with a deafening crash, and the first hunter stepped inside. His black armor gleamed in the dim light, and the silver-tipped spear in his hands practically hummed with malevolent energy. He didn’t hesitate, lunging toward Lexa with deadly precision.But I was faster.The Starfire surged through me, a burst of golden light exploding from the staff’s crystal tip. The hunter staggered back, his spear clattering to the ground as the energy scorched his chest armor.Lexa gasped, her silver markings flaring brightly. She raised her hands, and a wave of silvery light shot from her palms, slamming into the second hunter who had just entered the room. He toppled backward, crashing into the doorframe."Nice shot," I said breathlessly, a faint grin tugging at my lips despite the situation."Thanks," Lexa replied, her voice still shaking but steadier than before. "You, too."Before the third hunter could enter, an enormous black wolf barreled through the doorway, taking the man

    The morning mist clung to the compound like a second skin, heavy and pregnant with the kind of stillness that made the hair on the back of my neck stand on end. From the window of the common area, the dense forest surrounding us glimmered faintly under the pale light of dawn. Ordinarily, I’d find the view relaxing, but today, unease wrinkled the edges of my thoughts like a persistent shadow.Something felt off."Where’s Lexa?" I asked, glancing around the compound’s main room. Her usual spot—curled up in a chair with a blanket—was vacant, only the faintest scent of her jasmine and pine lingering in the air.Xander strode into the room, his movements sharp and purposeful. His piercing blue eyes scanned the area, narrowing slightly. "She went to Kelda’s workshop earlier for more training," he said, his voice calm but firm. "Kane is with her. They’re safe."Safe. The word should have reassured me, but the unease threading through my chest didn’t loosen. Instead, a low buzzing sensation p

    "Lexa needs rest too," I mumbled, fighting to keep my eyes open as I watched Kane move to support the younger wolf."I'll make sure she gets to her room safely," Kane assured me, his arm steady around Lexa's shoulders. I noticed how Dax's eyes followed them, concern evident in his expression. The bond between Kane and Dax had grown stronger, more intimate, and it warmed my heart to see their growing connection."Tomorrow we'll continue," Liza called after us, her voice eager despite her obvious fatigue. "There's so much more to explore in these texts! The connection you've formed... it could be the key to understanding everything!"Xander carried me back to our rooms, my head resting against his chest. I could hear his heart beating, strong and steady, grounding me as the lastof today's power faded. The corridors passed in a blur of warm wood and soft lamplight.The soft glow of the moonlight filtered through the vast windows, casting a silvery sheen over the bedroom. Xander carried

    A chill, sharper than any winter wind, traveled down my spine. The room fell deathly silent as her words hung heavy in the air, the weight of an unspoken truth pressing down on all of us."We're not letting that happen," Xander said firmly, his voice breaking the tense silence. The Alpha aura in his tone left no room for argument, but I felt his fear through our bond—not of me, but for me. "Whatever this is, whatever they think they've seen... we'll find a way to control it. To protect everyone. Vivi isn't alone in this."His gaze met mine, searing through any lingering self-doubts like the fiercest of vows. Behind him, Kane and Dax moved closer, their presence steady and reassuring."We'll control it," Kane echoed, his hand warm on my shoulder. "The prophecy is a guide, not a sentence. You shape your own destiny, Vivi."Dax unfolded himself from where he leaned against the wall, his dark eyes stormy but resolute. "And if anyone—even these hunters—thinks they can get through us to you

    The compound was eerily silent as we waited, breath held collectively, for the Shadow Pack survivors to emerge from the woods. I stood flanked by Xander, Kane, and Dax, their protective presence a comforting wall around me. Yet even as their mate bond pulsed steady and sure through my chest, an undercurrent of unease crept through me. Something was wrong. I could feel it, like crackling static in the air before a thunderstorm."They're here," Sage announced, her voice tinged with both relief and caution. She stood at the gates, her sharp eyes scanning the treeline. I noted the tension in her stance, the subtle way her hand rested near the knife at her belt.When the Pack finally emerged, my breath caught. The small group of survivors carried the weight of devastation upon their shoulders. Their clothes were tattered, their bodies bruised, and their eyes haunted. They moved as if each step took a Herculean effort.At the center of them was a girl, no older than sixteen, supported on ei

    ViviThe next few weeks were a blur of training, research, and intense bonding with my mates. Liza and Kelda continued to delve into the ancient texts, searching for any clues about the Fenris line and the symbols on the blanket I had been left with as a baby."It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack," Liza sighed one afternoon, pushing a stray strand of hair out of her face. "There's so little information about the First Ones, and even less about the Fenris line.""But we're not giving up," Kelda assured her, her gaze determined. "We'll find answers, Vivi. We just need time. I'm searching for clues in my grimoires as well. Maybe there is a mention or to there."Meanwhile, I focused on learning to control my new abilities. Shifting was still a challenge, the pain still intense, but with each transformation, it became a little easier. Xander, Kane, and Dax were patient and encouraging, guiding me through the process, helping me to understand the instincts that were now a part o
