"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. Somehow I felt deep in my soul that this was meant to be. These two beings were what had been missing in my life.

    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. The scent of her arousal filled my nostrils, heady and intoxicating and I couldn't resist a long, slow lick from her entrance to her apex. I growled as her flavor burst on my tongue. I could feel my cock throbbing, aching to be inside her, to feel her tight heat surrounding me.But not yet. First, I wa

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

    ViviThe Council's decision was better than nothing, but far less than we needed. As I left the meeting chamber, frustration warred with pragmatism in my mind. The sanctuary designation would provide some protection, but Julian wouldn't be deterred by political gestures or economic sanctions. His vision of supernatural society was too fundamental to his identity, his conviction too deep to be swayed by diplomatic pressure."It's something," Xander said quietly, reading my expression as he fell into step beside me. "The Council's formal recognition legitimizes what we're building here.""I know," I sighed, running a hand through my hair. "I just hoped for more direct intervention. Julian crossed a line using that weapon against the barrier. The potential consequences weren't limited to our territory."Kane nodded grimly. "The Council understands that. But they're constrained by centuries of precedent regarding territory autonomy. To intervene directly would undermine the very foundatio

    LyraI could feel it—the tension in the air, the worry in their minds, the fear they tried so hard to hide from me. At three months old, I wasn't supposed to understand these things, but I did. The dual Starfire that flowed through my veins made me different, connected me to things beyond ordinary perception.My silver eye saw what others couldn't—the shimmering threads of energy that bound our community together, the pulsing light of the barrier that separated our world from the Void. My golden eye perceived intentions, emotions, the subtle currents of thought that adults believed were hidden from an infant's awareness.They were wrong. I saw everything. I understood more than they realized.As I lay in my cradle, watching the mobile of stars and moons that Sage had crafted for me, I felt the barrier tremble again—an aftershock from Julian's attack. It had been three days since the eastern boundary was breached, and though the adults spoke in hushed tones when they thought I couldn't

    XanderThe attack came at dawn, when the barrier's energy was naturally at its lowest ebb. I was awakened by the compound's alarm—a magical warning system Sage had designed to alert us to any breach of our outer defenses.I was on my feet instantly, years of training taking over as adrenaline surged through my system. Beside me, Vivi stirred, her golden Starfire already flaring in response to the threat."The nursery," she said, fear evident in her voice. "Lyra—""I'll check," I assured her, already moving toward the door. "Stay here until we know what we're dealing with."The corridor outside our bedroom was filled with activity—pack members responding to the alarm with disciplined efficiency. Kane appeared at my side, his expression grim."Eastern boundary," he reported tersely. "Multiple breaches. The wards are holding for now, but they're under sustained attack.""Julian?" I asked, though I already knew the answer.Kane nodded. "His signature was detected by the boundary markers.

    EowynThree months after Lyra's birth, I stood at the eastern boundary of our territory, my senses alert for any disturbance. Julian Thornwood's forces had been unusually quiet since our expansion, but Kane's intelligence network reported increased activity along the borders of his alliance. Something was brewing, and I was determined to ensure our defenses were prepared.The boundary gleamed in my magical sight, a shimmering curtain of energy that pulsed with the combined power of my silver Starfire and Vivi's gold. Since Lyra's birth, the barrier had grown stronger, more stable—as if her very existence had somehow anchored the equilibrium more firmly in our reality.I ran my hand along the invisible boundary, feeling the familiar tingle of energy against my skin. The moonstones we had placed were functioning perfectly, their power amplified by the barrier essence that Vivi and I had created together."Anything concerning?" Ronan asked, approaching from behind. He had been patrolling

    ViviThe pain came in waves, each one stronger than the last, cresting and receding like a tide determined to pull me under. I gripped Xander's hand on one side and Eowyn's on the other, drawing strength from their unwavering presence as my body worked to bring our child into the world."You're doing beautifully," Kelda murmured, her experienced hands checking my progress. "The baby is descending perfectly. Not much longer now."I nodded, unable to speak as another contraction built. Around me, I could feel the energy of those I loved most—Xander's steady power, Eowyn's cool Starfire, Kane's analytical calm, and Dax's restless vitality. Each contributed in their own way, creating a circle of protection and support that made me feel invincible despite the pain.As the contraction peaked, I felt something else—a ripple in the barrier, a resonance that seemed to echo the rhythm of my labor. The Void Walkers were watching, their attention focused and intent."They're here," I gasped as th

The expansion of our territory had begun in earnest, and today I was tasked with establishing the new magical perimeter—a responsibility I still found somewhat surprising, given my history.A year ago, I had been a prisoner of the Council, my powers bound and manipulated for their purposes. Now, I was trusted with safeguarding the borders of what had become the most remarkable supernatural sanctuary in existence. The irony wasn't lost on me."You're smiling," Ronan observed, appearing at my side with the quiet grace that still sometimes startled me. "A rare sight so early in the morning."I glanced at him, taking in his familiar features—the sharp angles of his face softened by the morning light, his dark hair ruffled by the wind. Once my captor, now my partner in every sense that mattered."Just appreciating how much has change

    I shifted slightly to ease the pressure on my lower back, a common discomfort in these final days of pregnancy. "What is it?""A naming ceremony," Dax explained, his usual cockiness tempered with genuine emotion. "Not just any ceremony, but one that honors both your Fenrir heritage and connects our child to the barrier.""The three of us have been researching ancient traditions," Xander elaborated. "Working with Sage and Lyra to create something meaningful. A ritual that would formally recognize our child as both heir to your bloodline and a symbol of the new world we're creating."The idea of a naming ceremony resonated deeply within me, evoking images of ancient rites and sacred gatherings. I could almost see the flickering candles, smell the fragrant herbs, and hear the solemn chants that would mark this significant moment in our child's life. The ceremony would be a blend of old and new, a testament to the heritage we carried and the future we were forging.Xander continued, his v

    As Xander and I made our way toward the guest quarters, he took my hand, his thumb tracing absent patterns across my knuckles."Happy?" he asked simply.I considered the question seriously. "Yes," I replied after a moment. "Not in the simplistic way I might have defined happiness before all this began. It's deeper now—more complex. I'm fulfilled. Purposeful."His golden eyes warmed with understanding. "That's a better goal than mere happiness, I think. Fulfillment lasts.""What about you?" I asked, turning the question back on him. "This territory is three times the size of your original pack lands. The responsibility has grown exponentially.""Shared responsibility," he corrected. "That makes all the difference. And seeing what we're building here..." He gestured to the compound around us, which had expanded considerably to accommodate our growing population. "This is what being an Alpha should mean—creating something sustainable, something that serves more than just our immediate pa

    Six months after establishing the barrier, our vision for a new kind of supernatural sanctuary was taking shape. What had begun as a theoretical discussion in Xander's office had evolved into a tangible reality as word spread throughout the supernatural communities.The Council, after initial resistance, had eventually recognized the wisdom in our proposal. The barrier's stability had proven itself through multiple lunar cycles, and the benefits of having a dedicated territory surrounding it—managed by those most connected to its maintenance—became increasingly difficult to deny.Today marked the arrival of our newest residents, a small coven of water witches from the Pacific Northwest who had requested sanctuary after conflicts with local shifter packs made their position untenable."That's the third magical group this month," Kane observed as we watched from the main house balcony while Sage showed the newcomers to their quarters.
