LILA
R unning through the forest was second nature to me. I knew these woods as if they were my own backyard. Out here, there was no limit.
Breaking through the tree line and entering the city was something entirely different. Time didn’t matter, and direction wasn’t an issue. The only driving force was my instinctual need to get to Rainor. The beast called out to me in my mind, and I knew where he was. There was no thinking involved; it just was.
My claws clicked against the sidewalk, my paws ripping against the cement, but I continued running. Humans screamed, diving out of my way. In dark alleys and through open windows, I could hear howls, each one distinct, each one alerting others to my descent through the city.
Then the scents came. So many different scents, mainly masculine but also the odd female. I wasn’t sure how I knew, but I did. Just like I knew exactly which building Rain would be in.
Lila, enough! Kage was calling to me, but somehow, he was far away. I ignored the phones, the pictures, the gawkers, and the onlookers. Waves of the heat racked through me, tearing me up inside, driving me mad, and I knew the only way to settle it was to get to him .
Let her in! Kage’s voice within me rose above the howls that sounded off in the streets. Then a howl ripped through the city, shaking windows. Some humans fell down, startled at the sound. And it abruptly stopped every other howl that had been sounding. Kage had silenced his pack.
I could only imagine what the humans would think.
I ran to a tall condo building, leaping over steps to where a valet held open the door. I paid him no attention; I wanted nothing from anyone else. Throwing my head up, I frantically searched for the smoky scent I so desperately needed to consume me.
Running for the stairs, I threw my body against the door, not once slowing my pursuit.
Mate . The beast called to me.
Help , I whimpered back, scrambling up each flight of stairs, something fierce inside of me urging me on. I sniffed every landing, searching for the scent, knowing I was getting closer. My claws slipped and scraped against the floors, finding no traction.
His scent grew stronger still, and I cried with each floor I ascended. My legs burned, having never run like this before. I didn’t slow down when I got to his floor, his scent beckoning me. I threw my body against the release bar of the steps once more and tore down the hallway, running so fast, I nearly missed the door.
Frantically, I attacked the door, scraping and clawing at it, biting chunks of wood and tossing it aside until there was a hole large enough for me to squeeze through.
You have to shift. There is a code, 6397 .
I was worked up to the point that I paced back and forth in front of the door before me. On the outside, it looked like the door to a safe or a freezer locker, a number pad next to it.
With what felt like fire flowing through my bloodstream, I forced the shift through will and pure adrenaline. Pain consumed me as I forced my bones to bend and break and rearrange.
Back in human form, my hands shook as my fingers reached for the number pad, typing in 6397. The sounds of pressure releasing and the click of the locks were music to my ears. I pushed the door open, letting it swing most of the way as I peered into the pitch-black room.
I took a few unsettling steps in, knowing he was here but unable to see him. As the smoky, woodsy scent surrounded me, a low growl started to vibrate quietly, coming from every direction while slowly picking up in volume and intensity.
And then his red eyes flashed from the far corner. While my body still wanted to throw itself at the beast, I knew, in that moment, that I had made a mistake.
My eyes adjusted to the darkness just in time to see the beast, teeth bared and ready to claim, launch himself at me. I stumbled back, falling onto a pile of pillows and blankets, just as another black wolf charged through the door and collided with the beast. Kage.
The bloodshed was almost instantaneous, the two males snarling and snapping, savagely tearing at one another.
Still lost in the clutches of the heat, my pheromones no doubt added to their aggression. I had to shift, I had to separate the two, but my body was spent, my muscles seizing with a painful neediness.
Then a grey wolf charged into the room, flying right into the mix. I knew they meant to subdue the beast, but it was a free-for-all bloodbath. Weylin was just as vicious as the other two.
What scars would be left on them this time? What wounds would coat their skin? And Rainor? What wounds would coat his mind? How many more boxes would Kage build to lock him away? How many more limits would Rain put on himself? I cried out, but it was my heart this time. The beast was tearing my mates apart.
A pulse emanated from within my heart, a dull light flashing through the room. Once. Twice. Three times. Like the beacon of a lighthouse. With each pulse, fire continued to spread through me.
My cry turned into a scream, and I fell back against the pile of pillows, unable to hold myself up any longer. It was too much. All of it was beyond my control. I was ready to ask the beast to end it all. If he was going to kill my mates, he may as well kill me too.
And then a palm touched the side of my thigh. I opened my eyes to see Kage positioned between my legs. My eyes took in his blood-covered body, cataloging every wound on his once-pristine chest. His eyes were dark as he gripped my hips, tugging me down and bringing our pelvises together, lining his cock up.
“We have you, baby.” Weylin brushed the hair from my face, his already-marred body riddled with fresh wounds. I wanted to cry for him. “Shh.” As he pressed kisses along my forehead, I reached up, gripping the hair at the back of his neck, holding him close to me while breathing every bit of his scent deep into my lungs.
Kage thrust deep into me in one fluid movement. I gasped. The need for him to fill me was so intense, but I wasn’t ready to let go. Kage pulled back before thrusting in once more.
“Rainor!” I called out.
“I’m here, angel.” His voice was broken and it shattered me.
Kage pulled back, gripping my hips and bringing me to him as he thrust back in. The feeling was amazing, the pain in my belly lessening only slightly, but my heart was my concern.
I reached out into the darkness. “I need you,” I begged. Weylin continued to kiss along my jaw, peppering my neck, Kage kept a steady rhythm, and Rainor…reached out, placing his hand in mine.
His features came into view and my heart wept. His neck was torn apart, slowly healing, blood dripping down his chest, but despite the depth of his wounds, the beast still tried to fight free.
Black hair spread up from Rainor’s arms like waves in the sea, appearing then receding. He rolled his shoulders back against the tension in his muscles, his eyes flaring and dimming, back and forth. Back and forth. Kage thrusting, in and out, in and out.
“You will not hurt them again.” The voice came from somewhere deep within me, within my heart. I took Rainor’s hand and placed it on my chest, feeling the power pulse from me and into them, all of them, their wounds healing more quickly.
Kage slammed into me, my back arching, my pussy clenching around him. Weylin held my breast in his hand, looking up at me with those mesmerizing eyes as he flicked my nipple with his tongue.
A tremor racked Rainor, the beast trying to force a shift. I let go of his hand, my palm shooting out and grabbing him by the neck. I stared into the eyes of the beast, gazing into the storm within, the ferocity that gripped him so tightly that Rainor could no longer breathe in his own skin. Two souls within a body, completely at odds with one another, each one lost in the fight to take the light that was tearing the other apart.
Rainor had to stop subduing the beast.
The beast had to stop tormenting Rainor.
I twisted my body, pulling away from Kage. He seemed to understand, slipping his arm around my waist and helping me up. My belly cramped with need, but I ignored the pain as I knee walked towards Rainor before straddling his thighs.
I grabbed hold of his hair, yanking it hard to force his eyes to mine. “Show me the beast,” I commanded.
His dark eyes flashed red, and I impaled myself on his erection. The beast roared at the sensations, wolf fur pulsing along his skin again. His teeth elongated and he moved to bite, but Kage was there, wrapping a ripped piece of cloth around Rainor’s face, covering his mouth, and tying it off.
I felt the pinch of his claws digging into my flesh, but Weylin took care of it, grabbing Rainor’s hands and tying them behind my back with another piece of fabric.
“If you want to play, you have to play nice.” My voice came out as a growl as I began lifting myself up and down his cock, my body taking what I needed.
The beast fought, biting at the fabric, thrusting his hips up, trying to grab hold of me.
“Show me Rainor,” I demanded. It was the switch in the eyes that told me the beast had obeyed, stepping back to let Rainor have the light.
“How are you doing this?” Rainor spoke through the makeshift mask.
Lost in the surges of the heat, I grabbed the cloth, yanking it down and claiming Rainor’s lips. He kissed me back, teeth colliding, tongues tangling, leaving me a breathless mess. His skin along mine felt amazing. Slowing the movement of my hips, I took my time sliding down while twisting, finding the right spot. Teasing him with my pussy, tasting him with my tongue, feeling him with every nerve along my body.
I pulled away, feeling the edge of the beast's patience. “Beast,” I gasped as Rain surged up into me.
The beast was ready for his turn, twisting his hips and flipping me onto my back. He used his thighs to spread me painfully wider, his tied hand coming up my back and gripping the top of my shoulders, holding me in place. When he moved to bite my neck, I was quick, pulling the mask back up. He let out a feral growl in protest, slamming his hips into me relentlessly.
The beast triggered the wolf in me, my claws coming out and piercing his skin as I held on. Licking and tasting his skin beneath my lips while his scent soaked into my body. The sensation was nearly overwhelming, overpowering.
“Rainor!” I called out. Immediately, Rainor rolled over, pulling me on top of him. I tugged his mask down, seeing where the beast had chewed his lips raw.
“It’s time to bring you home, angel.” He said.
I could taste the spiced whiskey before Kage’s hands touched me, his arms wrapping around from behind and cupping both breasts. He nuzzled his face into the crook of my neck, nipping at my skin. His hard cock rested between my ass cheeks, rubbing and teasing at my back entrance until he slipped between Rain and me, rubbing alongside where Rainor’s cock was deep inside of me. The sensation was tantalizing. Exciting.
Weylin stepped in front of me, grasping his long, thick dick, holding it close to my face. “I heard my girl likes to suck cock. Kage hasn’t stopped thinking about that tongue, and it’s driving me crazy,” he said with a grin. “Open wide for me, baby.”
He didn’t have to ask me twice, his scent so enticing that he had me salivating. My wolf nearly keeled over at the prospect of having two mates in me at once.
I took Weylin into my mouth, running my tongue along the underside of his shaft as he slowly eased into me, much more gently than Kage. Still, a shudder went through his body as he savored the feeling of his cock in my mouth.
“That’s it. Good girl,” he cooed, brushing my hair out of my face and tucking it behind my ear. “I’ve been watching you. Fuck, I love watching you, baby.” He started picking up a rhythm. “You’re so good at making yourself come, but I have to admit, feeling you come on my face, licking up your cream and having it coat my lips all day, is my favorite.”
I could feel his cock swell in my mouth, and as I gazed up at him, I saw his eyes focused on my pussy, where I was still riding Rainor as Kage’s cock thrust in and out between us.
Weylin enjoyed this…a lot. I slipped my fingers down in between and began playing with my clit, making sure Weylin still had the full view. I clenched down on Rainor’s cock at the sensation, causing him to moan and throw his head back.
Weylin pulled himself out of my mouth abruptly, grasping himself. “Sorry, babe, this isn’t for your pretty mouth. Not this time.” He walked behind me, and I lost Kage’s warmth before feeling the hot spurts of Weylin’s cum dripping down my ass.
Fingers touched and probed me, rubbing the mess around before slipping into my puckered entrance. My head dropped to Rainor’s chest.
“Please,” I begged.
“Mmm. Our girl likes that,” Weylin said.
A second finger was added, and sweat broke out all over my body, a telltale sign that the wave was about to peak. Kage stretched and played with my ass some more. I knew it was Kage because Weylin appeared back in front of me, his cock still stiff as he held it, stroking himself and watching from a breath away.
I braced myself when Kage removed his fingers, replacing them with the tip of his cock. He moved slow, letting me adjust, but the sensation of him entering me, his thickness pressing up against the thin layer of skin separating him and Rainor, was already enough to send me over the edge.
“How does it feel to have the alpha’s cock push my cum up inside of you?” Weylin asked, his pace quickening. I reached out to him, and he stepped up, positioning himself so his cock lined up with my lips.
“So…fucking…good.” I was breathless, but not as much as Weylin when I took his cock into my mouth again, swirling my tongue around and tasting him.
With all the sensations at once, as soon as Kage started matching Rainor’s pace, the two of them quickening, I could no longer hold myself up. Weylin pulled out and caught me, holding me up while Rainor and Kage penetrated me, alpha and beta completely owning my body.
The orgasm that took over me was unlike any I had ever experienced. Both of them released before I did, painting my insides with their cum, cooling down the fire within me like salve on a wound. They continued working me over until I cried out my own release, going completely limp. Weylin softly lowered me to Rainor’s chest, brushing my hair away and telling me how amazing I was.
I vaguely remember Kage pulling out. My wolf wondered why I ever fought against having sex with them. The orgasms I’d had early on in the heat were enough to relax my aching muscles, ebb away the pain. But being coated in their cum while I orgasmed was pure bliss. It was a high like no other. Pure euphoria.
When someone gathered me in their arms, my eyes were too sleepy to open, and all their scents covering my body made it difficult to distinguish who had me now, but he was warm. And he was safe. And he was exactly where I belonged.
