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 struggle, his desperate need to shift, to claim, to mate. It mirrored my own, a primal urge that threatened to consume us both.
The woman took a step forward, her eyes scanning the clearing. She held a flashlight in one hand, the beam cutting through the darkness. I tensed, ready to bolt if she spotted us, but she seemed unconcerned, almost...expectant.
As if she sensed our presence. As if she welcomed it.
I shook my head, trying to clear the haze of lust that clouded my thoughts. This was madness. We couldn't just...I couldn't just...
But even as I thought it, I knew it was futile. The pull was too strong, the need too great. I had to have her. Had to claim her as mine.
I glanced at Kane, saw the same hunger, the same desperation in his eyes. We were in this together, for better or worse. Brothers in every sense of the word.
Slowly, cautiously, we crept forward, emerging from the shadows to stand before her. She froze, her eyes widening as she took in the sight of us. Two massive wolves, their fur gleaming in the moonlight, their eyes blazing with a feral intensity.
But she didn't scream. Didn't run. Instead, she took a step toward us.
When the woman's eyes locked with mine, and I felt a jolt of electricity course through my body. Her gaze was intense, penetrating, as if she could see straight into my soul. I shuddered under her scrutiny, my fur rippling across my skin.
She took another step forward, her movements slow and deliberate. I tensed, ready to spring into action if she made any sudden moves. But she simply stood there, her head cocked to the side, studying us with a curious expression.
"That's far enough," she said, her voice low and husky. It sent a shiver down my spine, settling in the pit of my stomach. "I know you're not going to hurt me."
I blinked, stunned by her words. How could she possibly know that? We were wild animals, predators. She should be terrified, not...whatever this was.
Beside me, Kane let out a soft whine. I glanced at him, saw the confusion and longing in his eyes. He was just as affected by this woman as I was.
The woman's gaze flicked to Kane, then back to me. A small smile played at the corners of her mouth. "You're beautiful," she murmured. "Both of you."
I preened under her praise, my tail wagging slightly. I couldn't help it. Her words filled me with a warmth I had never known before.
She took another step forward, and this time, I didn't stop her. I couldn't. She was like a magnet, drawing me in, irresistible.
She reached out a hand, her fingers trembling slightly. I leaned into her touch, a low groan rumbling in my chest as her skin made contact with mine. Her hand was warm, soft, and smelled of honeysuckle and vanilla. I breathed in deeply, letting the scent fill my lungs.
"This is crazy," she whispered, but she didn't pull away. If anything, she seemed to press closer, her fingers sinking into my fur. "I shouldn't be doing this."
But she was. And gods help me, I didn't want her to stop.
Kane pressed against my side, his nose nudging my flank. I glanced at him, saw the hunger in his eyes, the desperate need. He wanted her too. Wanted to touch her, taste her, claim her.
And suddenly, I knew what I had to do. What we had to do.
Slowly, carefully, I shifted, the change coming over me in a rush of heat and pain. Bones cracked and reformed, fur receded, and muscles rippled beneath newly smooth skin. In moments, I was human once more, naked and aching with need.
The woman gasped, her eyes widening as she took in the sight of me. I could see the desire warring with the shock on her face, the way her pupils dilated, and her breath hitched in her throat.
"Who?" she breathed, her voice trembling. "What...how..."
I didn't give her a chance to finish. I closed the distance between us in two strides, my hands coming up to cup her face, my thumbs brushing over her cheekbones. She was so soft, so warm, so perfect. I felt the tension in her body at my sudden movement but she didn't try to pull away from me.
"Don't be scared, my beauty, we will never do anything to harm you," I growled, my voice rough with lust. "I am Xander and this is Kane." I practically shook with maintaining even a modicum of control. "We need to touch you, taste you, claim you as ours. Please don't deny us." Beside me, Kane shifted as well, his body changing, morphing, until he stood beside me, just as naked and just as aroused. His hand reached out and took a strand of her flaming red hair in his fingers bringing it to his nose and inhaling deeply. Vivi gasped as we touched her, and the cool night air caressed her now flushed skin, the sight igniting a primal hunger deep within me. The blending of our three scents was intoxicating, sending her heart racing so quickly I could see it pulsing in the long column of her throat. I imagined I could feel the rhythm pounding in my own ears. Kane's hand settled on my shoulder as he stepped closer, tracing his nose up her neck. He was just as enthralled as I was. I'd never been one to share my female conquests. In fact, I was normally exceptionally possessive of the females I took to my bed--at least while they had my attention. But something about Vivi was different. I found myself wanting to share her, to do anything to give her as much pleasure as she could bear. My gaze met Kane’s hooded, lust-drunk eyes over her shoulder, and I could tell he felt the same. The three of us were meant to be together--to leave one out would not satisfy the magical bond that was overcoming us. "Vivian," we growled in unison, our voices intertwining in a dark symphony that made her shudder. The way her name rolled off my tongue, filled with reverence and longing, caused a whimper to escape her, a sound that sent a jolt of satisfaction through me. Her tongue darted out to wet her lips, and the sight was almost my undoing. "How do you know my name?" she whispered, her voice trembling with curiosity and something deeper. A slow, wicked grin spread across my face as I let my finger trail along her jawline. A fine tremor went through her body under my touch, and I reveled in it. "You met my sister, my beauty," I purred, the need in my voice unmistakable. "The universe placed you in her path so we could find you. We've been waiting for this moment, dreaming of the day for an eternity." Looking up at us as we surrounded her with our bodies, her bright green eyes filled with something between awe and desire, and I could scent the pool of arousal that suddenly emanated from between her thighs. Kane's grip on my shoulder tightened and I had to lock my knees to keep from falling to the ground at her feet. The moonlight bathed us in its silver glow, and I knew how we must have looked to her—powerful, primal, the embodiment of everything she'd been taught to fear in the human world but had unknowingly been searching for. The desperate need to claim her surged through me, a thrill that echoed in every fiber of my being and one that I could suddenly feel from Kane as well. The pleasure spiking in both their bodies was suddenly one with my own. I could sense the flicker of apprehension in her, but as she looked into our eyes, those deep emerald pools went soft and, I saw that same sense of rightness that pulsed within me. It was as if she had finally found where she belonged. As if, in finding her, we had all found our home. I trailed a hand down her throat, feeling the smoothness of her skin, the way her pulse thrummed under my touch as Kane twined his fingers in her long hair. She didn't resist when he drew her head back to give us both better access. Her small submission had my cock growing even harder and a groan left my lips. "Yes," Kane growled, his lips taking advantage and trailing down her neck, his teeth grazing her pulse point. "You're ours. Ours to claim, ours to cherish, ours to love." She shuddered with desire and my other arm snaked around her waist to hold her up. A moment later and Kane was at her back, allowing her to lean against his hard chest, their breathing synchronizing with the contact. As I drew my arm away, confident that my Beta had her supported, my fingers brushed against the tip of Kane's cock already weeping with pre-cum. Without a conscious thought, I circled his wide head with my thumb eliciting a deep moan of pleasure from my oldest friend. Part of me was shocked that I had purposely touched his erection, never even having played sexual games with the others as some of the pups did as they matured, but it felt only natural to touch Kane in this way. In fact, I felt a compelling desire to touch more of him and vowed that I would when the time was right. But for now, the need to pleasure this female was more consuming. "Please," she whimpered, the word a plea and a prayer all in one. "Please..." I glanced at Kane, saw the same hunger, the same desperation in his eyes. We were in this together, for better or worse. Brothers in every way but blood.Vivi I shuddered as Xander's fingers trailed down my throat, his touch searing my skin even through the thin fabric of my top. My body arched into his, craving more, needing more. 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. These two magnificent men, these powerful wolves, had been created just for me.Xander's lips fou
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
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 have a responsibili
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. Always so suspici
DaxHer eyes widened at my challenge, and I saw a flicker of uncertainty flash across her face. But it was gone as quickly as it had appeared, replaced by a defiant tilt of her chin. "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
DaxVivi followed without question, her eyes darting around the empty space as I closed the door behind us. The silence that followed was heavy with anticipation, and I enjoyed the way her eyes widened, the way her heart raced at the implications. I backed her against the door, enjoying the way her breath hitched as I loomed over her. "Prove it," I demanded, my voice a low growl. She didn't flinch, instead reaching up to trace the contours of my face, her eyes never leaving mine. "I don't really understand any of this, Dax," she murmured, her fingers trailing down my neck to the expanse of my chest. "But I feel this need for you, just like I did for Xander and Kane."I growled low, the sound a warning as much as an encouragement. She smirked, her fingers dipping lower, tracing the contours of my abs. "I like that noise," she admitted, her voice a breathy whisper. "The way you take charge, the way you dominate. It's... exciting."I said nothing, allowing my actions to speak for me. M
As they approached the compound, Vivi stumbled, her new wolf form trembling with exhaustion. Without hesitation, Xander slipped beneath her, supporting her weight against his larger frame. The sensation of his fur against hers sent tingles through her body, and she gratefully leaned into him. As they entered the main house, Xander gently nuzzled Vivi, guiding her towards their shared quarters. Kane and Dax flanked them, their eyes scanning the surroundings protectively. Once inside, Xander shifted back to his human form, his voice a gentle rumble as he spoke to Vivi."You're safe now, love. Let's get you cleaned up."Vivi, still in her wolf form, looked up at him with trusting, golden eyes. Xander smiled softy and scooped her up into his arms, carrying her to the large bathroom. Kane and Dax followed, their presence comforting and familiar.The bathroom was expansive, with a sunken tub big enough for all of them. Xander set Vivi down gently on the soft bathmat and turned on the tap,
Vivi's wolf form was magnificent – larger than a typical female, with rich red fur that seemed to glow even in the dim light of the cave. But she was hunched in a defensive posture, her eyes wild with fear and confusion as she faced off against two male wolves.Without hesitation, Xander launched himself at the nearest guard, his jaws clamping down on the wolf's throat. Kane and Dax moved in perfect synchronization, taking down the second guard before he could even react.Vivi let out a confused whine, backing away from the sudden violence. Xander turned to her, his heart breaking at the fear in her eyes. Slowly, he shifted back to his human form, holding his hands out in a non-threatening gesture."Vivi," he said softly, his voice rough with emotion. "It's me, Xander. You're safe now. We're here to take you home."For a long moment, Vivi stared at him, her wolf eyes uncomprehending. Then, slowly, recognition seemed to dawn. She took a hesitant step forward, then another, until she was
Though it didn't seem to slow him down a bit, Vivi continued to kick and fight as she was dragged through a rabbit warren of roughly hewn tunnels by Sean, the giant redheaded shifter."Oww! Stop that! One of your damn beads hit me in the eye!" Sean complained as she whipped her head back and forth."You're lucky that's all that's happened to you! Just wait until Xander finds me. You'll be begging to die before he's done with you!" Vivi kicked the giant in the shins, but she'd lost her shoes at some point, and she doubted she was even bruising him with her bare feet. She couldn't give up, though. She had to keep fighting until Xander showed up. No part of her doubted he would come to her rescue at any moment.Finally, Sean stopped in front of a small opening in the side of the rock wall that looked just big enough for an adult to crawl into. Vivi's heartrate spiked, and she fought to find the air to fill her lungs. Her eyes rolled in her head like a panicked horse, and she broke out in
Before me, sitting in an incongruous high-backed chair, was a tall, broad male, his eyes a striking shade of green. He wore a perfectly white silk shirt and a hunter green silk vest with what looked like small paw prints embroidered across it. One of his legs was crossed over the other, and he swirled an amber liquid in a crystal glass as he ran his eyes up and down my body."Welcome, little human," the male sneered, his eyes drifting over me with a mixture of hunger and contempt. "We've been waiting for you."I glared at the man, my eyes squinting. Even the small amount of light from the torches made my head pound. "What's going on? Who are you? Where are we?""We are somewhere your mates will never find you...unless you I want them to," the man who had taken me snarled. "Now, now, pup. Is that anyway to treat our guest?" The man in the chair stood, coming out of the shadows into my line of sight. He was tall and lean with blonde hair falling to his shoulders. He grinned at me in a
The man ignored my question, his eyes scanning the room as if searching for something. They landed on the knife block on the counter, and I felt a surge of fear as he strode forward. My heart pounded in my chest, and I backed up until I felt the coolness of the refrigerator against my spine.Where was Soren? He'd been supposed to guard me, but there was no sign of the young warrior. Had this intruder hurt him?The man stopped in front of me, his eyes drilling into mine, and I could see the madness within them clearly now. "Where are they?" he demanded, his voice rough and grated."Who?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper, transfixed by his intense gaze."Don't play dumb, human," he snarled, his hands balling into fists at his sides. "The two alphas. Where are they?"My eyes widened as the pieces clicked into place. This must be one of the rogues Xander and the others were fighting. But why was he here? And how had he gotten past the sentries?Before I could process his questions
My mates helped me from the spring, and I felt a sudden chill as the warm water ran off my skin. Luckily, Kane had thought ahead and brought thick towels, and we dried ourselves off quickly. I shivered as the cool air hit my heated skin but a warm blanket wrapped around my shoulders, and I was soon cozy again.The men spread the picnic blanket on the dry ground nearby and added some extra layers for good measure. I snuggled between Xander and Kane as Dax sat across from us, a picture of rugged masculinity with his wet, dark blonde hair and powerful build."That was incredible," I murmured, still reeling from the mind-blowing sex we'd just had. "I feel like I'm floating.""We aim to please, mate," Dax drawled, his eyes dark with desire as they roamed over my body.I felt a slow smile spread across my face as Xander nuzzled my neck, his breath warm and his fingers stroking lazily over my thigh. "Mission accomplished, it seems."Kane's lips pressed against my ear, his voice low and rumbl
As Kane's hips slowed, Dax's hands were on my hips, pulling me away. I felt a momentary loss, but it was soon replaced by a surge of lust as Xander and Kane swapped places. Xander's fingers delved into me, and Dax's thick cock moved slowly within me with a slow, steady thrum.I cried out, the sensation of being stretched beyond belief mingling with the intense pleasure that shot through me. Xander's tongue swept against mine as his fingers continued to stroke within me, his fingers rubbing against my G-spot with every curl of his fingers.The brothers' movements were sinfully delicious, and I felt myself being drawn deeper into a spiral of ecstasy. Xander's tongue delved deep, and his fingers found the perfect spot, rubbing and teasing with every stroke. Dax's thick cock filling my back entrance making Xander's ministrations even more amazing.Kane's hands rejoined the dance, stroking my hips and thighs as Dax continued to sink into my body. The warm water splashing around us, buoying
ViviI watched the three of them in awe as they discussed the upcoming battle at the dinner table, their faces grim but determined. I couldn't help but feel a sense of dread as the reality of what they were preparing for sank in. War. They were planning a war against these mysterious rogues, and the thought of my mates risking their lives terrified me."You three are the most skilled warriors in the entire pack," I blurted out, unable to keep the fear from my voice. "What if something happens to you? To any of you?"Xander wrapped an arm around my shoulders, pulling me onto his lap. "We'll be fine, Vivi. We've fought much worse over the centuries. This is nothing compared to some of the battles we've faced."I nodded, trying to swallow the lump in my throat. "I know you're the best. It's just... I can't stand the thought of anything happening to you.""We'll be careful," Kane promised, kneeling beside my chair and pressing a kiss to my temple. "We have a good plan, and we won't let an
XanderI strode across the training yard, a sense of purpose and determination fueling my steps. The sun was barely rising above the mountains, casting its warm rays over the compound, and the pack was already buzzing with activity. Everyone knew about the attack on Liam's pack, and the news that our sentries had found sign of them less than two days away had only heightened their resolve. We would not tolerate such an assault on our neighboring wolves, and we would strike back.As I approached the sparring ring, I spotted Dax talking with Liam and one of the sentries, his eyes narrowed in concentration. The sight of him there, offering his services, took me by surprise. Dax had always been a loner, disinterested in anything that didn't directly benefit him. When he came to me last night and volunteered to help plan and train warriors for Liam's pack was... unprecedented.I nodded at the sentry as he walked past me, his conversation with Liam and Dax obviously concluded. I cleared my t
