I felt when Zak left the bed and heard our front door close behind him. He thought I was asleep, and I kind of was. In that half awake, half asleep twilight phase. I rolled over, seeing the note that he left me.
Hey love,
Mind’s a mess. Going for
a run. Sleep in and I’ll bring up
Zak and I emerge from the trees at the front of the packhouse. We both grab some shorts from one of the chests that are scattered around the property for just this purpose.“Did you link Charlie?” Zak asks, his arm going around my shoulders. To anyone else, it looks like two friends coming back from an early morning run. But my heart flutters at his closeness, tingles reverberating from where his skin touches mine. I’m so in love with this man.“Yes. She’s waiting for us in your suite.” I put my arm around his waist, pulling him in for a squeeze before quickly letting him go.He stops and pulls me to him. Zak leans his forehead on mine. “I’m so happy that I found you and that you came back with me.”
Fuck! I watch Brandon walk towards me, his erection swaying as he walks. My mouth is dry in anticipation of what is going to happen. Brandon has to smell my arousal, which is running down my thighs. His eyes are fully azure, his canine teeth still elongated. His wolf is close to the surface, the threat arousing on it’s own.Brandon places the toys on the bed. He grabs both of my ankles and roughly pulls me further down the bed. I can’t help the squeal that escapes my lips.He grins wolfishly. “Don’t be frightened, Red.”“But, sir. What big eyes you have.”He chuckles as he restrains one ankle to the bedpost. “The better to watch you writhe in pleasure.&
I receive a mindlink around 2 pm from my father, waking me from a sound sleep.“Son, we need to meet. There are things to discuss before the Blue Crescent Pack gets here. And we’ve got to talk to the pack as well.”I rub my hand down my face, my voice groggy as I reply, “You’re right. Give me 30 minutes and meet me in my office. Grab the old leadership. I’ll contact Carl and let Brandon and Charlie know.”“Sounds good.” With that, father cuts off the mindlink.I want to stay where I am, cocooned in Brandon’s scent, lying in his bed. Bu
I end up showering in my room. As much as I wanted to help Zak and Charlie wash, there was no way I could explain why I smelled like them when I was freshly showered. Not without admitting what we were up to and I think my father would kill me. That is, if he didn’t die of a heart attack first.So, I raced to my rooms and quickly showered and dressed. I made it to Zak’s office just as he and Charlie were walking in. I couldn’t keep the smile off of my face as I thought about what had happened since I woke up in the forest with Zak waiting for me. I kiss Charlie’s head before Zak opens the door and she gives me a radiant smile before walking in. I pinch Zak’s ass as I walk by and hear him chuckle behind me.Can’t keep your hands off? Zak
“Fuck, Xander! Right there. Don’t stop!” I scream as he pounds in and out of my ass. He has my back against a door, my legs up on his shoulders. I’m holding on to the top of the door jam, hoping that it can take the punishment that he is giving me. ‘Goddess, you feel so good,” he groans, his head thrown back and his eyes closed. “How the fuck are you still so tight? I’ve fucked you like ten times today.” “My ass was made for your cock!” I cry, grabbing my own dick and beginning to pump. “Shit that feels so good.” Xander smacks my ass as he continues to fuck me. His movements are becoming jerky, his dick hardening as he nears his climax. “I’m gonna cum, babe,” He says, his face contorting in pleasure.
We watch Xander and Devin run into the barracks, laughing at their rush to get back to their room.Sobering slightly, we all turn back to the table. I grab Charlie’s hand from across the table and rub Brandon’s leg under the table. Brandon’s hand lays on top of mine.“You know that this is all going to go horribly wrong, right?” Charlie says. “This is going to be really, really, really bad.”“I know,” I say. “Honestly, all we can do is try to minimize the damage and make sure that we are ready for it.”“So, what do we need to do?” Brandon asks. He starts ticking things off on his
I wake up to the feeling of sparks marching up and down both sides of my body. I could acutely feel each and every part of my mates’ bodies pressed against mine. My face is pressed into Zak’s chest, my arm wrapped around his waist and his leg thrown over my hip. Brandon has his face pressed into my neck, scenting me. His arm is thrown across my chest, reaching to touch both me and Zak. His front is pressed against my back.This is a wonderful way to wake up. Intimate. Full-filling. And fucking HOT! Like, I’m sweating balls here. Werewolves run hot naturally and having two huge-ass males wrapped around my body did not help matters at all. If this was how we were going to spend the rest of our lives, the AC would have to be turned down, a ceiling fan installed, and possibly frozen blocks of ice placed in the mattr
I make the “walk of shame” back to my room to shower and dress before meeting Zak and Charlie in the dining hall for breakfast. Before grabbing a seat at the head table, I head to the kitchen and ask one of the omegas to add an envelope with a print out of all of the information Charlie and I found out yesterday to the meal that they send to Xander and Devin. I really don’t want to interrupt them again, but they need to be aware of what is going on so far.When I arrive at the high table, I find that a seat has been saved for me between Zak and my father. When I sit, greeting all at the table, Zak immediately moves his hand to my thigh, giving me a light squeeze. Nothing sexual, just intimate. I can’t help but smile at him.“As I was saying,” Charlie continues, “we would like to meet with a
Welp, that was a shit show. It went about as well as we expected, though I had no idea that Arya would reject Xander and Devin. Having felt that with Brandon, I know what they are going through. And they will be feeling like that for two days until she returns. They are currently staying in Brandon’s room so that they are closer to everyone. Lauren and Mom are with them.Xander’s mom is in the pack hospital after her most recent bout of chemotherapy. She’s called and Facetimed several times, attempting to get him to respond, but he hasn’t really said anything. He and Devin haven’t moved in hours, laying in each other’s arms on Brandon’s bed.Charlie, Brandon, and I have taken turns going to see them, but Charlie and I both know that they don’t really hear us.&n
After Devin entered and he and Arya claimed each other as mates, pretty much everyone was silent and shocked. Well, those of us that didn’t know. So everyone except the Oracle, Meredith, my mates, and me. And Mathias. I could already tell that he was pissed when Arya and Xander claimed each other as mates. I’m guessing that he and Arya were in some kind of relationship and he isn’t too happy to have his bedmate taken. But when Devin claimed Arya as well, his fury became palpable.Zak, Charlie, and I had watched as Mathias began to shift, seemingly without his consent. His wolf fed on his rage and began to take over his form.The three of us fanned out, each linking separate warriors to make sure that we were ready for whatever might happen.
As I walk through the packhouse, I can smell the most intoxicating scent of lavender and honey floating through, mixed with Xander’s scent of oak, nutmeg, and leather. It’s her. She’s here and with Xander. “Go, Gamma,” Lucille smiles at me as she sees me scenting the air. “Meredith will help me from here. We’ll be right behind you.” I gently release Lucille’s hand from my arm and place it on Meredith’s. I smile at her warmly before hurrying out of the house. I hear the loud voice of a male wolf say, “Looks like we have something more to celebrate, other than our packs’ meeting.” I figure it is Mathias, but I don’t even spare him a glance as I take in the sight of my two mates holding each other. Seeing the two of them t
I walk outside with Zak, Brandon, Charlie, and the pack elders. This is it. Our mate will be here in a matter of minutes. My heart feels like it is going to thunder out of my chest and I can’t help but reach out to the hand closest to me. It happens to be Brandon’s, which causes a sudden movement from Charlie and an almost glare from Zak before they see my face. I’m sure I’m as white as a ghost.Brandon looks into my face and squeezes my hand. “It’s ok, Xander. I know that this is incredibly hard, but it will be ok. The Goddess promised. You will see your mate today and then you will have her forever in two days. We’ll be here for you and you’ll have Dev. You just have to be strong for a little longer.”I nod, absentmindedly. I didn&rsqu
By 12:45 everyone but Devin,Lucille, and Meredith are in the dining hall. Everyone is tense, waiting for the inevitable blow-up. This is going to be bad. Really, really bad. “You’re going to end up hurting your lip, Red,” Brandon says, sliding his thumb along my lip to pull it from between my teeth. He bends down and gives me a quick peck on the lips. “I’m just…” “Nervous?” “Yeah,” “Me, too. But we’re going to get through this. I’m more worried about Dev and Xander than anything.” After leaving the banquet hall this morning, and fucking like crazy, Zak and I told Brandon everything about the Goddess’s visit. He knows everything and why we kept it from him. I have to s
We are all in the banquet hall to help Clara prepare for the Blue Crescent Pack’s arrival. Whereas the hall was decorated in soft drapery and blue and silver tones for the ascensions, there is a completely different vibe for this arrival. Clara mixed the soft tones of our pack and the large portrait at the end of the hall to display hopeful friendship and peace, along with displays of might. Clara ensured that the seating arrangements showed our best warriors at the head of the hall, while putting their pack below the high table with only their Alpha and Delta at the head table. Pictures of our wolves in battle and during training, both in human and wolf form, were displayed throughout the hall, along with copies of deeds of land that we had won through battle, treaties with other packs, and pictures of Zak and Jared with a variety of alphas from across the country. It was a way to show our prowess in battle and our
It’s hard to believe that the bond between Charlie, Brandon, and me can get even deeper. But the second that Xander drinks from the cup and our brotherhood is complete, it is almost like I can feel him in every corner of my mind. Though he has been inside my head as my mate, able to feel my emotions and occasionally read my thoughts, this is new. It feels as if his presence is everywhere. This ever present feeling is only matched by Charlie’s presence.Unlike our last ascension dinner, this one ends well. Many in the pack come up to congratulate not only Brandon in becoming Beta, but the three of us in our mating. Some of the older women start asking about when we are going to provide them with some pups to dote over. Charlie’s face is glowing at their questions and I can’t keep the smile off of my face. Brandon’s face starts out
“Members of the Artemis Pack!” The Oracle booms into the banquet hall, arms spread wide and a smile on her face. The meal was magnificent, a true testament to Clara’s skills as a hostess. Now it was time for the ceremony. Lucille’s salutation is greeted with howls and thunderous applause. “Today we are completing our pack’s new leadership with the ascension of our new Beta! “Brandon Snow will take his place beside his mates, Alpha Zakary Loup and Luna Charlotte Loup, and his friends Gamma Devin Laoch and Delta Xander Hawthorne. I cannot imagine a better choice for Lady Selene to pick as the second-in-command and helpmate to our beloved Alpha and Luna. His faithful and selfless service nearly led him to reject his mates for the good of our pack. I cannot imagine a more committed and loyal wolf to help lead us.”
Clara steps to the podium to welcome all of the pack to the dinner. “Good evening my beloved pack and welcome to our induction of a new Beta for the Artemis Pack!”A roar explodes from the pack, along with hand clapping and stomping of feet.Clara waits for the sounds to quiet down before continuing. “As our Silver Lady and our patreon goddess have blessed our pack with plenty, so we bless them with our fellowship and joy. In the spirit of love, support, and thanksgiving, I present to you our feast.”Clara’s arms open and the omegas enter the room loaded down with food in large serving bowls and plates. They set them on the tables for family style service among the pack members. More omegas came to the high table to serve us, starting with me and Zak, then
