Ch. 601..610

Chapter 0601

She's nervous now, I can see it, but also smell it on her. It's rolling off in waves. Her skin is visibly getting clammy. How is it possible I can 'see' clammy skin?

"Olympia, what aren't you telling us?" I ask slowly, watching for her physical reaction more than I am listening to her answer.

***"Something is happening, everyone be on your guard. Patrols take a second look at your surroundings and report back."*** I link out to everyone. No one from my team moves or looks like anything has changed thanks to their extensive training. But they are ready for a signal from me to engage.

"I...I just want...my pack to be safe. They are being tortured left and right and now it will stop." She doesn't look at anyone, but has enough pride to not look down at the ground. She thinks she is doing what is best, even if it is misguided and setting my pack up for harm. She took someone's word at face value. No one will leave her pack alone.

***" Alphas, North side of the pack. They are coming across the water about two miles north of the main entrance. I think she was supposed to stall longer, they aren't even halfway across."*** One of our warriors reports.

I link my mates and my team. ***"She's either really bad at this or she knew that she could fulfill whatever order she was given and allow us time to prepare to fight by making us suspicious. She doesn't want to be a part of this."***

***"How many are crossing and is there any other sign of attack?"*** Cam asks our warriors.

***"About fifty, all in wolf form from what I can see at my vantage point Alphas."

"***

***"Nothing from the main entrance, Alphas. Extra help has joined us though, we are doubling patrols."*** Another warrior reports.

***"Southern edge is clear, but we are downwind and the air is stale and without any scents at all, not even the forest. More than likely that same damn spell with a second wave of rogues waiting for a signal to attack."*** I love that our warriors take nothing for granted. They take every experience and make it a learning lesson.

***"We agree. Northern border, take out whoever you can as they come across, the waters are shallow there, use it to your advantage. No prisoners. We don't know what kind of magic or manipulation is being used and we have already found out that many of them will die because of the spell cast on them anyway."*** Oliver doesn't even converse with us to give the order. It's like we can see in each other's minds. I wonder if we will ever disagree on anything.

Like he read my thoughts... ***"We will disagree on plenty, Love. Like, for starters, if you even hint at separating from us I will lock your ass in the bunker so fast, you won't be able to use any magic against me..."***

***"And as much as we don't want you in the fight, we won't stand in your way, but we won't stand by and let you get hurt either, Sweetness. Get over it now, mate. The only people in our pack are warriors who can fight for themselves so you are our priority."*

"***

***"Don't get so lost in the fight that you lose sight of us. I know we can link from probably any distance, but I want to be able to see you."*** Oliver jumps in before I can protest Dakota's demands.

***"You do know that you are all targets now because you are mated to me, right?" They all humm in agreement. "And, that they will probably try to kill you three to get to me, but no one will hurt me, not here. The Rogue King wants me... alive. It would be better if..."***

***"NO!!!"*** They all shout in unison making me flinch.

***"I was not kidding about the bunker, Tiny, and Nathaniel and Wyatt have already volunteered to keep guard and for good measure Mateo and Sam would probably add Sierra and Jena with you." Before I can let my anger flare back another report comes in.

"***

***"Alphas, more wolves have started crossing the borders, we are engaging, but could use back up."

"***

My anger subsides as my training kicks in. I look around assessing who's with me and the information I have.

"Mateo, Jena, Sam and Sierra. Take

a team to the northern border and assist them. The attack has doubled." I fook at my mates. "I want to go to the southern border, where there is no scent. I think our skills are better suited there." They nod at me "Wyatt, stick to the main entrance. I want to know what's going on there. Nathaniel, do what you can to get me eyes in the sky. I want to know what's going on, but stick with Wyatt as back up."

"Yes, ma'am." They both reply and then turn to get to work.

"Lil, I want you with me. Something tells me I'm going to need my feral Gamma."

She laughs and rolls her eyes.

"I'm going to need that story sometime, Tiny." Cam whispers in my ear, giving me chills.

Oliver divides the rest of the group

with us and Brett takes Olympia

back to the house she was being

held in. We are assuming that she is being tracked somehow and don't want her any further into the pack lands than necessary. Then we all move out.

***"Northern border, give us an update."***

***"Still fighting, they are better than average wolves, but not super fast and none of them seem to have a personality, if that makes sense. They are mindless and just keep coming out of the woods like ants." ***"Help is on the way."*** We move swiftly without wasting any energy on speed. I have a feeling we are going to need it.

As we moved I took in the sights and

scents. I can tell exactly the moment

we cross into the area being

tel

blocked. It's like I got a sinus infection and lost all scent. I can't even smell the guys right next to me. I can hear noises though, so I know we are getting close to our team here. We all lower ourselves to the ground and belly crawl towards them just to make sure. I can't trust my senses completely now. I don't know how or why the magic affects me this way, but I get some things and not others.

***"Oh Sh*t! How are you doing that?!?" Lil basically scolds me. ***"Doing what?"***

***"Unless you are moving, I can't see you, that's what."***

***"Huh?!"***

***"Your fur turned the same color as the forest around you, that's what."***

 

 

Chapter 0602

***"She's right babe, you blend in completely."*** Oliver scoots closer to me as we slow down to get a better feel for the area. I look at him and I can still see him, but there is a shimmer to his fur. Not like glitter or metal, but a shift in the colors of his fur to match the surrounding area directly behind him.

I keep turning my head and notice Cam and Dakota are the same, then look down at myself and I can see the fur, but as I move or the breeze blows, the colors change to match what's behind it.

***"All three of you are the same. How are we doing this?"***

***"Part of your magic, I guess. We're about to find out how well it works. You were right though." Oliver bumps my shoulder.

***"You're going to have to be more specific. What am I right about this time Oliver?"***

His wolf gives me a lopsided grin which is adorable.

***"It would have been nice to test our basic abilities before we get caught up in a fight, smart ass. It is kind of annoying to come into this knowing we have enhanced abilities and magic, but have no idea what those abilities are or how to use them."***

***"This has been my whole life since Alpha Reggie told me about my connection to the royal family. No one knew what that connection meant for me and what I would be able to do and now I have three mates, some type of prophecy surrounding me and the Rogue King, magic coming out of every orifice I have, not to mention being somewhat of a freakshow before all of that."***

***"Well, we love you freakshow, always have. Now tell us what your spidey senses are telling you. Cause I can't smell a thing out here anymore except the three of you and it sounds like the forest kind of turned off."*** Dakota comes up on my other side.

***"Me too."*** Both Cam and Oliver say in the crazy twin speak.

***"That's interesting. I can't smell anything, but I can still hear really well. Like, I can hear the conversations of our warriors about 2 more miles out. Don't ask me how I know that distance."*** I laugh as I try to explain myself.

We keep moving cautiously towards our warriors, looking around at everything, trying to notice anything out of place or just off. We made it to their camp without any incident though. I say camp loosley. We don't have homes on this part of our pack lands so there hasn't been anywhere for our warriors to stay while they run patrols here, so several tents like the big ones we used for my trials have been set up to shelter them. They are more sturdy than camping tents and can be set up and broken down in record time.

Lil and I shift ahead of the guys and just start walking into the group of warriors, not really thinking about the fact that it is still unusual to many of them that we can shift with our clothes still intact. ***"I still wish we had that particular skill."*** Dakota grumbles behind me.

***"Being naked after shifting has never bothered you before. What's your issue with it now?"*** I ask, smiling back at him.

***"I have a mate now, Sweetness. And all of this manliness is just for you now, no one else gets to see it."***

***"Lil will get you all clothes, just

shift behind me, you'll be fine for now. I don't think anyone really cares, when we have bigger problems to worry about."*** I roll my eyes at his dramatics. I'm sure everyone here has seen his junk in full swing and I don't even want to know how many of the females here have experienced him. A shudder runs through me at the brief

thought.

"Lil, can you go roundup some shorts, apparently Dakota is being weird about shifting and being naked right now." She gives me a look and I can only shrug then she takes off. She's never really seen them outside our group of friends, with everything going on and they have never been shy before.

***"Bitty, you do realize that even though you are a tad bit bigger, you would barely cover one of our thighs right? None of us want to shift out here. It's almost like we can't."***

***"How would that work in a fight then? This is so stupid. Just shift, don't make this any more weird."I'm looking at each one of them and even in their wolf form they look ashamed almost. I put my hands on my hips. "Cam...seriously, just shift, please. We have things to do. I don't know why this is such a big deal."***

His wolf nods his head at me and I

can see the telltale signs of his body beginning to shift, but it looks more painful than normal and not nearly as fast as when they shifted to their wolves earlier. It's almost like he's fighting himself. Eventually shimmers and his bones stop cracking as his body settles in front of me. Holy f*ck! He's fully clothed, but even bigger than before. And somehow hotter than an hour ago.

His height didn't change, thank the Goddess, but he's filled out more. His clothes look like they are two sizes too small. He went from being an eighteen year old boy, to a man right in front of my eyes. His

muscles are more defined spe

his jaw is filled out and sharper all at the same time. Everything seems to have matured on him in the span of a shift.

"That shift sucked, what the hell happened?" Cam rubs his face and looks at me. "Why do you seem small again Tiny?"

I'm not smaller, but I don't think I can explain this one. At least you have your clothes, but I don't think they will last if you move around too much." I smile up at him and his inquisitive look. "Just trust me, you'll see when these other boneheads get moving." I look at Dakota and Oliver with my best glare.

They start to shift and it looks just as awkward and painful as Cam's.

"I look like I tried to put on some little kids' clothes." Dakota laughs. "Damn, we look good." He smiles at the other two and starts to flex. I just roll my eyes.

"Your ego didn't need the inflations." I laugh at him.

"I'll show you ego, little mate." He scooped me up so my legs were wrapped around his waist and kissed me deeply. I almost got lost in it and forgot where we were, until someone clears their throat.

"Your feral Gamma found shorts that might actually fit the Alpha males that can't seem to stop growing. I don't know what happened to you Midge, but for some reason, you're not allowed to grow." She laughs at me and we all join in.

"Ah, it's about time the Alphas showed up. You know it doesn't look very good for your pack's safety if you don't arrive at a threat in a timely manner. People could get seriously hurt due to your lack of initiative and response."

"Alpha Brecc, I would hardly call you a threat." I step forward.

 

 

Chapter 0603

"I was talking to your Alphas child, do not interrupt. You aren't here under the arm of the Alpha King. Things work differently out here in the real world."

Oliver growls in his chest behind me. I reach back and grab his hand to calm him down. ***"He's trying to goad us. Stay calm and talk very little. He likes to have control, by riling people up and getting them to react. He can't fight well and his warriors are poorly trained."*** I told all three of my mates. Oliver squeezes my fingertips, letting me know he understands.

"What do you want, Alpha Brecc? We are clearly not available to entertain." Cam asks. He's always been the better peacekeeper. It used to make me angry when he would do it to placate Kaley and Kevin, but I can see how having a level head and appearing indifferent will come in handy.

Brecc shifts his focus and I can see the wheels turning in his head as he takes in the three massive guys behind me. They are clearly making a statement in their usual positions around me, but he seems confused.

"Charlene, I believe you said the new Alpha's of Blue Crescent were twins, not triplets. That is a detail I would have remembered. It's not common." He looks over at his shoulder and I see her step out of the shadows of their warriors to take her place, not at his side, but just behind his right shoulder. I have to smile at the idea that she wants power, but at the same time will take a back seat to an overbearing Alpha with a superiority complex.

"That is the information the little blonde mouse gave me when we spoke last. She did say that they had a less than worthy mate. I can see she was at least half right." Charlene smiles at me, but it doesn't reach her eyes. I think she's trying to intimidate me, but she just looks like she's in pain.

I roll my eyes in response.

"Well, either way, I am here to offer my daughter as your chosen mate to ally our packs during this time of distress. Us neighboring packs must stick together and an alliance like ours would be most advantageous."

***"Yeah, for him. Moron. I bet he still hasn't done the improvements we asked about when I first went to warrior training two years ago. He wants protection and status without any work on his part, he's lazy and self righteous. From what I have seen Charlene is the same. He couldn't even explain the patrol strategy, that I helped Kyle set up when I was thirteen, to Alpha Reggie when he was asked about it." I tell our whole team. "Don't

underestimate him though, he's vindictive."***

"We have our mate and are very happy with the choice the Goddess made. And trying to infiltrate our pack is not the best way to form an alliance, wouldn't you agree?" Cam asks. "How are your patrols and border protections?" Dakota asks, with a knowing smile.

Alpha Brecc's eyes fly to me and back to them. "Our patrols have always been superb, Alpha..."

He doesn't know who is who, even if he knew the twins names in the first place, now there are three of them and I'm sure he couldn't be bothered to figure

out the Gammal

name. He wouldn't think it

necessary. Gamma's are servants to

him and nothing more.

None of my guys answer him. He

doesn't deserye to learn their

names. I can see Charlene taking a

tel.

mental inventory of the people around us. I know that several of our warriors are still out patrolling. haven't heard from them, so tam hoping everything is alright, but

every warrior that was here at camp

has stopped to watch the conversation.

 

 

Chapter 0604

I'm not sure if Alpha Brecc has caught on, but they are all in a strategic position. Our little tent city is two rows running perpendicular to the forest and Brecc made his entrance at one end, very dramatically. Each tent has at least two of our warriors standing in it as we all talk near the center of the row. Each of them can have his group surrounded in a blink if needed.

***"I need a status update from the area surrounding the camp. Does Alpha Brecc have any more warriors hiding out? You probably won't be able to scent them, you're going to need to get a visual confirmation."*** All the patrol warriors let me know they heard me and we get a running check in as they scour the area surrounding us.

"Daddy, I'm sure the Alphas would be more comfortable if we sat down and negotiated with some refreshments. I know alliance treaties can take such a long time to make sure everyone gets what they want." She places her hand on his shoulder. "Where are your Alpha quarters? I'm sure Skylar could get something whipped up for her Alphas in no time. I would love a chance to get to know you all better. Miss Cunningham said that you are all very handsome, but I don't think her description did any of you justice." She walks over and links her arm with Cam's. It's all I can do to hold still. I can't risk anyone getting hurt because she's flirting with him. She's not wrong, they are hot and I'm sure other women will flirt, so I am going to have to figure out how to handle jealousy without starting a fight, at least initially.

"That sounds like a great idea my dear, see Alphas, she's already taking to her Luna duties, caring for the Alphas that are important to her. It's just a natural instinct."

I roll my eyes. "No."

"NO? You refuse to serve your Alphas, your superiors? How dare you? You are just a Beta warrior. You are lucky they are letting you stand in front of them, let alone anywhere near them." Brecc snarls at me, letting his 'nice neighbor' act slip. "You are not worthy of being their Luna, step aside and let the superior ranks handle things."

"You do know that she isn't our Luna right?" Oliver states and Brecc's eyes light up like his birthday came early.

Charlene giggles next to Cam as he tries to pull his arm from hers, looking horrified. Serves him right for always being placating. He was the same way with Kaley and he couldn't seem to get rid of her either. I take a deep breath, I can deal with her groping his arm, for now.

"I was not aware, you had not taken her as your Luna. Even better. Less mess when you take your chosen Luna."

"You misunderstood him, Alpha Brecc. He said she's not our Luna, not that we didn't claim our mate. In fact, she claimed us as an Alpha of this pack." Dakota says.

"Are all three of you exactly the same everywhere? How does anyone tell you apart?" Charlene.is trying to coo in Cam's ear and can feel my heart rate rising. She needs to step away from him.

"That's absurd. No female is an Alpha." Brecc scoffs.

"We actually now know two, so again you are incorrect. With your levels of misinformation, I don't think an alliance would be the right move for our pack. We value all our members equally, not just the ranked members. Each pack member brings something to the pack and contributes." Cam finally extricates his arm from Charlene.

 

 

Chapter 0605

"Oh, that is so wonderful how you care for everyone, I can't wait to be your Luna." She looks at Cam like she might jump on him again, but moves for Oliver behind me instead. He pushes her away, I can hear the scuffle. I want to turn around, but my instinct tells me that Brecc is the bigger threat and I don't want to turn my back to him.

Dakota grabs her by the shoulders and holds her out in front of him. "We don't want a Luna. Do neither of you listen? We have our Alpha mate. Our female Alpha. Now, we have other matters to handle within our pack. Please see yourselves out the way you came in." Dakota shoves her enough that she moves a few feet back from him.

"But I am prepared to bear your pups. That little thing probably couldn't carry pups as big and strong as yours will be." She flicks her fingers at me and my wolf growls. "I don't even mind being shared. I would let you claim me right here, if that's what you wanted. I bet with three of you, someone is always watching." She smiles a little maniacally as she starts to pull up the skirt of her dress like she would bend over for them here, even in front of her dad.

That's when I lose it. This b*tch has gone too far. She can stupidly flirt while insulting me. I could give two sh*ts about it. I know they don't want her, but now she is disrespecting everything that being a mate stands for. The intimacy that goes with being a mate is not shared with other people and she is trying to literally offer up her p*ssy to them in front of me and everyone here. I lunge and send her flying into one of the tents making it collapse completely on her.

"I don't share, go find your own Goddess given mate and quit trying to take mates that don't belong to you." I snarl out at the pile of canvas she's wrapped up in and let my Alpha aura out for good measure. Brecc looks at me astonished and angry. "You attacked a ranked member of my pack, now it is war you will get." He lunges at me and all hell breaks loose in the camp.

I hear as all the wolves around me engage, but I only have eyes for this weak ass Alpha in front of me. He misses as I easily step aside and let his over enthusiastic lunge send him flying right on past. He turns, but it's like everything is in slow motion for me. I can see him take a breath and decide where he's going to attack me next.

***"Why is everyone so slow?"*** Dakota asks.

***"I don't think they are slow, I think we are faster."***

***"It's kind of messing with my head, like in a dream where you can't force your body to move but your brain is on hyper speed and can see what's going to happen before it does and there isn't anything you can do about it."*** Is he laughing?

***"Well our element powers work at our speed, that's for sure."*** Oliver says, launching a clod of dirt across the camp to hit an Irontooth warrior in the back of the head as he goes for Lil.

***"I'm just impressed that we can have an analyzing conversation while in the middle of the fight. Are we keeping Brecc and his daughter alive, Love? You know them better than us. Would he have information we could use?"***

***"I actually don't know them well at all. I only had a couple of interactions at the palace. That would be better suited for Osiston or Reggie."***

***"What do you need, Little One?"***

***"Uh, how did you know I needed to talk to you, Osiston?"***

***"It's a gift. What do you need?"***

***"Alpha Brecc is here, trying to pawn his daughter on my mates. As you can imagine it wasn't a well received idea and we need to know if we should keep them alive as prisoners or if anyone will miss them when they die."***

***"No one will miss them, but take them as prisoners for now. I will come and collect them. Keep your link open, we will be there soon."***

***"Capture the warriors and Alpha Brecc and Charlene will be collected by Royal Pack members."*** I say to my warriors.

***"What if I already have a few who are less than conscious?"*** Lil laughs at me.

***"Nothing we can do about it now."***

***"If we have to keep them alive, can you just submit them all with your super powers, just in case there's another wave behind this one?"***

Sometimes I forget I have extra

powers, or I just like fighting. Maybe

a little of both. I stop moving and

see the smile that crosses Brecc's face, he thinks he's winning or slowed me down. When in reality, I was able to have that full conversation while batting him away like a fly Treach in for my wolf and let her help me with my aura. I still don't understand this most basic power that ranked pack members have and it's the one I am the most familiar with. It pulses out of me like a ripple from a water droplet and all of the fighters who are not a part of my pack drop to their knees, including Brecc and Charlene. She managed to extricate herself from the tent, but was not fighting. I huff, just another girl who wanted a title, but had no idea there was actual work involved with being a Luna and she would have to know how to defend herself and her pack with that title.

Cam walked over to Brecc. "If your daughter was a true Luna and if you were a true Alpha you both would have been able to put up a fight from that submission. But, I'm going to be honest, you would have still been submitted. I don't know anyone who has gone up against our Female. Alpha. Mate. and won. And I've seen our girl fight a lot of people, including the future Alpha King. You chose the wrong pack to challenge and didn't even bring a real fight." He picks the Irontooth Alpha up by his shoulders and frog marches him to where his daughter is unceremoniously dropped by Dakota.

Oliver walks a little way from the trashed camp and starts moving his hands. I see dirt flying, but I don't understand what he's doing. I walk over and ask too curious to leave it alone.

"We don't have any cells out here

and I agree about keeping all of these people away from the center of the pack in case they are being tracked by the rogue king. So I'm digging a trench to drop them in for the time being. That way you don't waste too much energy keeping them under your Alpha command. We need our girl ready to fight. This was just a test." I smiled up at him. I love it when they all call me 'their girl' and use all the crazy pet names I've been given over the years.

 

 

Chapter 0606

I grab his shoulder and pull him down to me. With the latest growth spurt, I am back to being just taller than their elbows again. He looks at me a little surprised as I kiss him full on the lips in front of everyone. I guess I'm getting past being shy about public displays of affection. He stops what he's doing to wrap his arms around me and pick me up for better access. I laugh into his mouth. We keep it PG, but he kisses me several times before I pull away and ask if I can help him. He slides me down his body slowly.

"I would never turn down the chance to spend some one on one time with you, Baby." We get to work, and our combined effort makes digging out the trench only take about twenty minutes. We had to make it deep enough that they couldn't jump out, and wide enough that they couldn't climb, we'll see how smart they are though. This was actually a task Lil, Jena and I had to figure out at training. It can be done, and without magic. But if these guys think anything like their Alpha, they don't think outside the box very well.

"Alright, you got your moment. I want my good job kiss." Dakota whips me around and the other two laugh while the rest of our warriors put silver collars or wrist cuffs on the captured warriors and toss them into the trench. Lil was more aggressive than necessary, but she seems to be enjoying herself so I let it be.

He walks us away from the crowd and basically devours my face. I have to press against his chest with a good amount of force to extract myself from him. "Dakota, slow down!"

"I can't help it. It is so hot watching you take charge and put all of these losers in their place. I really, really want to take you home right now, but I know we have work to do, so you are just going to have to give me enough to tide me over." I laugh and kiss him again, which he takes full advantage of, then hands me over to Cam, I never hit the ground.

"You really are impressive, Love. We're never going to stop saying it." His kiss is just as hot but not as demanding as Dakota's. "We need to go check on the Northern border and Wyatt and Nathaniel."

"Someone should..."

"Don't even finish that sentence. We already told you we are not splitting up." Oliver puts his hand up to stop me as Cam's fingers tighten on my thighs. "In any other normal situation, you are right, we should split up so someone can meet Osiston when he comes for Brecc and Charlene and check the two other locations. It would also help to keep an Alpha aura on them, but this is not normal and you are not going to be out of our sight of any of us outside of the packhouse. Next topic."

"Well, that was final...and spoken like a true Alpha." I wink at him as I jump down from Cam's arms. "I guess you all are going to have to keep up." I take off, shifting mid run. I really want to know how fast we are, my wolves, their wolves. I can hear all the commotion in my head, but I can also turn the sound down, it's interesting. The fight is still going on on the Northern border, but it's not dire. It doesn't sound like they are actually trying to fight us, but if the point was to distract us for Alpha Brecc and Charlene, then they should be done now. The fight is still going on though, that doesn't make any sense.

***"Nathaniel. ANything at the main entrance?"***

***"Yes and No, Boss."***

***"You are going to have to elaborate on that, Nathaniel. Not all of us are super geniuses that can read your mind."*** Cam chimes in.

***"There are no wolves or any

people here, but there has definitely been movement. Patterns show that someone or something has been moving in and out using the same path for a while now. I can't tell from the drones if it is surveillance or if they have been bringing things in or taking things out. I really need to get close and get a first hand look."***

***"Absolutely not! We are not risking you for surveillance with flimsy information like that."*** I can't even imagine risking Nathaniel's life for something so stupid. He's become another brother to me. He doesn't need protection, something many of the Elite Warriors thought, since he is more quiet than any of them and really good with computers so he tends to be overwatch in a tent or vehicle playing home base. He is an amazing fighter and became our secret weapon on missions. We would use the stereotype to our advantage.

***"Your Alpha has spoken." Dakota laughs. "I love how protective you are, Smalls."***

I just giggle. I have always been protective. That's probably one of the first things I recognized about myself. That is one thing I can thank Kaley and her dad, and if I am being honest, my own dad, for during my youth and teen years.

We continue to run. My wolf is making comments about how we move, but I'm not really listening, I am just feeling. Feeling the breeze in our fur, feeling the dirt under our paws. I don't even have to think, our body just moves through the trees, we hit nothing and don't have to make decisions on which way to move to dodge or jump obstacles. We can just feel the forest, it's almost like it is talking to us through our connection to the ground and it feels wonderful. Warm and comforting, like a hug from Sierra when we first met. SHe didn't know me, but pulled me into her sphere of brightness and I couldn't pull away, didn't want to pull away.

We reach the Northern border in less than fifteen minutes. It would have been a forty five minute drive in the truck. That has to be a record. But, what I see when we get there is mayhem.

 

Chapter 0607

There are bodies everywhere and it looks like the attacking wolves are just attacking no matter their state of injury. What the hell is going on? I don't care what my mates say, I take off aiming for a wolf that is trying to attack my brother from behind.

My wolf clamps down on his hind leg and whips her head back. I can feel the leg break in her jaw just before she releases him and we watch him fly fifty yards behind us. THat should have been enough to put him out of commission for at least a day, but as we look back we can see him stumble to stand on his three remaining good legs, the fourth bent at an unnatural angle. His eyes are red and his gaze is focused

on us.

***"This is a trap for us! Jena and I were supposed to see these wolves. They are possessed the same way the wolves holding us captive were. We didn't kill them when we escaped, just kept knocking them down long enough to get away. I think Tyler might have killed a couple though. He thinks we won't kill them again. They are too deep into the spell, their only way out is death and you are going to have to break their necks to free them."*** My voice cracks as I say the last words. I hate the idea of killing innocent wolves, even if they signed up thinking the Rogue King's mission is the best way, they didn't sign up to be sacrificed. I hope the Moon Goddess gives them a better life the next time around.

We dive in and I keep my mates in my peripherals at all times. As much as I scoff at them for their overprotectiveness, I can't help but be aware of their safety at all times too. I will never admit to keeping close enough to reach any of them in a single jump, they would never let me live it down that I wanted to be close to them.

Wolf after wolf goes down, but they were right, they just keep coming.

***"Is this what took so long to attack? He was building up numbers against us?"*** Mateo asks.

***"More than likely." My dad grunts as a wolf barrels into his side, sending him and the wolf locked in his jaw sideways to the ground. "This is the attack to wear us out." He calls out casually breaking his opponent's neck and turning to handle the one who knocked him down. "They didn't expect the level of fighters we would have though, based on how little fighting experience they seem to possess. They also can't seem to differentiate the higher ranking targets versus the warriors. They are attacking whoever is closest to them. You would think if they were supposed to target our Alphas, they would have all gone after you four when you got here."

I am going to have to table the thoughts and emotions surrounding my dad having an actual conversation with me and calling me an Alpha out loud for the first time.

***"So, you are telling us that the faster we get rid of these idiots, the faster we can take our mate home?"*** Dakota asks.

***"Not really the thought I wanted in my head, man"*** My brother gripes and my dad huffs in acknowledgement.

***"Deal asshole. Remember, my room was next to yours when you found your mate."***

That is the last thing Dakota says

before he jumps in and starts tearing wolves apart left and right. Cam, Oliver and I do the same staying close. It takes another two hours to get through the hordes of wolves that just continue to come out of the water. They finally stop crossing and we are able to wrap it up quickly. Our speed allowed the others to stop and watch the work being finished in moments, while they gathered and tended to wounds and minor injuries caused by the attacking wolves. Once the last attacking wolf was disposed of we all shifted to human form and joined in with the healing.

"Still no smell. I wonder if that is so we can't tell they are coming or if it keeps us from finding out which packs they are from or what." I'm thinking out loud as I move through helping dress wounds that will need a few hours to heal. We have all huddled close to go through what happened today.

"Probably a mixture of all of those things, Little One." I snap my head to the side and can't help the smile that spreads across my face.

"Osiston! When did you get here?" I ran for him and he scooped me up like the tiny person I still am compared to him. He gives me a hug and then sets me on the ground.

"Alphahood suits you, Little One. Though I thought you would maybe get a little bigger." He pats me on the head and I roll my eyes.

"You know I got bigger, jerk." I mutter. "But 'bigger' for me is nothing compared to you and my mates, who seem to also get bigger with each new thing that comes our way." I flap my hand at the three of them looking smug since they now stand taller than him, but only by an inch or so. His royal Alpha blood gives him more advantage than it ever gave or will give me.

"We have been scouring the lands around your pack and haven't found any sign of the Rogue King or Adrielle. The Alpha King and I have both been personally searching, hoping our heightened senses would help, but we have come up empty handed." Osiston explains once we are back at the packhouse, sitting around the table on the patio.

Elena and Gentry insisted on putting

up barriers that would warn us of another attack so we could lighten the number of patrolling wolves to give them more time to rest and recover from today. They also helped the healers with salves and tonics that would speed up the healing process, just in case another attack came tonight, but none of us think that will happen. This was some sort of test and possibly a disposal. Kyle and my dad stayed to help with the first run of patrols and

Brett and Osiston are on the next shift. Martha an dLenny made sure that we were all fed .

"Do you really think he was trying to lessen his numbers?" Cam asks Osiston. "That doesn't make any sense if they were tied to the spell keeping him hidden."

"It is, if the spell works both ways?"

Gentry starts and we all look at her confused. She smiles. "Not all magic is completely under the control of the caster. Think of it like giving a

BUT

child a direction to clean their room, but nothing more specific than that, There are hundreds of ways to interpret the direction and a clever child will find a way to follow the direction while also not completing the task, if they want to be a pain in the butt. Depending how the cloaking spell was cast, maybe we are cloaked in a way from the Rogue King and he needed the attack today to get closer to us. This is something that Adrielle would have known and would have planned for, leading us to believe they are not working toward the exact same goal, but you are the object of both of their desires." She looks at me.

 

Chapter 0608

Everyone disperses to their own activities since there are a few hours left in the evening. Dealing with Olympia and fighting with Brecc and Charlene didn't take nearly as long as one would think. The fight with the neverending zombie wolves took the most time. We were home by normal early dinner time, which I haven't been on time for since the beginning of my Elite training. Cam stands up and laces his big fingers with mine, helping me up. We walk silently to the Alpha's office.

"I agree with Dakota, we need to change this office space up a bit so the four of us can work here together." He closes the door and I look around at the space. The dark masculine walls used to make me feel intimidated. No one ever got called in here unless you did something really bad. Lucas really only used this space to place orders for the pack and go over financials.

He didn't like meeting with other Alphas in here, he said it was pretentious and he didn't need to participate in the d*ck measuring contests. He would walk them around the pack, more interested in showing off what the pack was actually doing than the monetary value of the stuff in his home.

Cam broke me out of my memories, guiding me around the desk to sit me in his lap in the large, formal chair. He pulls my back tight to his chest, presses his nose to the base of my neck and he takes a deep breath.

"This, my little mate, is how we have taken care of the pack for the last two generations. When you inevitably find something wrong with it, we will adapt and move on." He huffed a laugh into my hair. "Actually, Oliver is better with the numbers than I was. We should have him look over it. Do you want me to call...him?...Ah." I barely got my question out as he nibbled my neck and squeezed my boob. "No," His voice is low and growly. Not aggressive, but firm nonetheless. "I want you all to myself for just a little while. Dakota and Oliver are giving us our time."

"Huh?" I can't think with his lips on the back of my neck and shoulders like that. "But, I thought you all wanted to share." I managed to pant out a whole sentence. Every touch feels so good. The three of them are overwhelming in the best way. My brain literally short circuits. But Cam is dominant and demanding. His movements are controlled and borderline painful, without feeling unsafe.

"We love sharing you, Skylar. But we each want your undivided attention too." His hands are roaming everywhere. One is on my torso, the other, squeezing my thigh. "Don't worry. No one is keeping score, we will all get our time with you and you will get whatever you want from us. Just tell us who and what you want and it's yours."

"Okay." My head drops back to his shoulder as I drape my legs wide open over his as he kneads my clit. "I need your face between my legs."

His speed leaves me dizzy. I am laying on my back, all my clothes shredded on the floor. He has my feet propped up on the arms of the desk chair as he looks at me spread wide open for him.

"Is this what you wanted, Love? To be on display for me so your juices drip all over my desk and I will be able to smell your scent every time I sit down to work?"

"Yes." I had no idea this would be

just as big of a turn on for him as it is for me, but have no problem with him thinking of me like this when he works here. That was all the invitation he needed. He dove right in, claiming my p*ssy for his own. My back arched off the desk in response, but he has my hips pinned down with his massive forearms. "Oh, f*ck! Cam!" He is doing some kind of swirling thing with his tongue and my body must have been more wound up than I thought or my

mates can just get me from zero to sixty in a matter of moments.

"I think the other two are enjoying your show, Love. Should we give them some more?" He looks up from between my legs, but his lips brush against me as he talks.

"What? I don't under...Oh, yes!" He presses his stiff tongue inside me and I hear a groan, but it was inside my head, not from him.

Cam laughs. "This is going to be the

I

best part about having you all alone. Seeing who can maintain their composure while you are attacking our minds with your overwhelming lust. You are a naughty girl in that head of yours." He slides two fingers inside me, watching as my body reacts and I hear the moans in my head again and I know it's Oliver and Dakota. He's messing with them as much as he's messing with me. "Should I go faster, Love? I can feel how much you are squeezing my fingers, so close now."

"Please, yes. Faster, harder. I need more of... more...yes, like that. Oh, Cameron, don't stop. Yes. Yes. Oh f*ck, YES!!" His scissoring fingers, thrusting in and out of me at a punishing pace, would have probably left marks before we

mated. Now I am holding his telnet

in

both of my hands, riding out the high of coming all over his fingers and his mouth and I know we are nowhere near done yet. "Are you going to f*ck me like this too? I think I would like it." I can feel how lazy my speech is, but I can't help asking. He said I could have anything I wanted when it came to s*x. "Throw my legs over your shoulders and just pound into me."

 

Chapter 0609

"Just like that, Love. You want me to pound into you?"

"I want you inside me, now."

"So much sass. I might have to spank you for it."

"I think I would be okay with that too." I think I sound drunk, but I'm not and I know what I am asking for. If I want to do anything rough, Cam is going to be my guy. Now I just need to convince him I'm on board. "Only for you, Love." He stands and adjusts me to the edge of the desk. He somehow got his clothes off, maybe while I was figuring out what I wanted, anyway he's a naked God and it really just isn't fair. "Still like what you see? Even with the changes."

"Not a lot has changed. Not for me. I've always liked the way you looked. You've always been...impressive. Uh, yes!" He fills me to the hilt, but stills so I can adjust a little before he starts to move. At least he's making involuntary noises too and not all of them are deep and manly. I don't have the mental space to think of a way to make fun of him, because every delicious thrust has me thinking other thoughts, like how can I get him deeper?

He is holding my legs, but I am sliding along the surface of his very clean desk and I am not quite long enough to grip the end to hold myself in place.

"Come again, Love. I can feel how close you are." I smile and shake my head 'no.'

"Not without you." He thrusts harder. I want the spanking he promised. I don't know why that excites me so much, but it does and he can't do that if I am laying on my back. He slows down when I grip his wrists and only looks at me confused for a minute when I shift him out of me so I can turn my body, planting my feet on the floor and leaning on the desk on my forearms.

He grips my hips, digging his fingers in. "So demanding, now that you have your full Alpha status. What should I do about that?"

"I think you owe me a spanking and I think my mates have waited long enough to feel us both come hard together, don't you think?" I wiggle my ass at him and watch the gleam in his eye turn from playful to dominant in an instant.

He grips my hips again pulling me

back towards him, rubbing his hardened length through the wetness that is now dripping out of me. I whimper at the sensation. He repeats the motion and I swear stopped breathing. He rubs my butt cheek with his right hand, like he's warming it up for me. He thrusts again, still not entering me, just teasing. I'm about to say something when a 'CRACK' echoes in the room. I barely get a sound out when he thrusts into me, hard.

"Is this what you wanted, Little mate? Someone to dominate you in something for a change?"

"Yes!" He keeps thrusting hard, holding my shoulder with his left hand to make sure he fills me completely each time. 'CRACK!'

I flinched a little at the second

spanking, but he started rubbing it immediately with his hand, not once letting up on his punishing pace. can feel the spot warm with blood flow, it's going to be red for a while after this, even with my heating ability.

"Such a good girl, taking her sassy punishments from me." He kisses my shoulder gently, changing the angle of his thrusts. "Are you going to come for me now, Little Mate?" "Oh yes, I'm so close."

"What do you need, Love?"

"Your hands... your hands rubbing my cl*t...and keep kissing me...on my neck... OH F*ck! Yes! Just like that. Come with me Cam, please. Yes, like, that. AH!"

He thrusts in me as I see stars and

spots explode behind my eyes. I can't understand what he is mumbling in my hair, but I can feel him pulsing inside of me and it just extends the aftershocks that feel like they could just keep going. I'm sure if Het him keep it up I could come again. I sag against the desk, but he doesn't let me stay that way for long, pulling me into his lap and nuzzling into my neck.

"You are perfect, Skylar. I love you."

"I love you too Cam. That was amazing. Do you think it bothered the other two too much?"

"I f*cking hope so." He laughs. "You know it's going to be a competition to see who can get you off and distract the others in the most inopportune moment right?"

 

Chapter 0610

"What?! No! You guys wouldn't do that would you?"

"Did you feel how intense your org*sm was? I can guarantee that wasn't just the two of us. It was hard to concentrate on anything else with you sprawled all over the desk like that. The image of you leaning forward ready for me, tight little ass in the air." He groans, and I hear other faint, muffled sounds in the back of my head, but Cam's hand moving erases the thoughts immediately. "I hope my hand print lasts long enough to show it off." He gripped my butt with just enough force to remind me exactly where he spanked me.

"Do you really have work to do in here or was it just an excuse to get me alone?" I ask shifting sideways to sit across his lap and look at him. I'm tracing the patterns of the tattoos that are now on his arms and he is gliding his fingertips up my spine causing goosebumps to raise all over my body.

"Would you be upset if I said both, but more the latter?" He has his chin tucked and his eyes are focused where my hands are on his arm.

"No, I'm not upset. More curious about the location. Why not take me upstairs and tell Kota to find another place to nap?"

"Because I spend the most time here. Dakota was trained to do the financials too, but it's never been his thing. I think Oliver will take to it better than Kota ever did now that we have him too. But this is my space, for lack of a better term and I wanted you here in my space, just for me, with me."

I can't help but smile at him. He can be so intense and serious, but when his sweet side comes out, it's just as intense and I just melt. I lean in to give him a kiss, which escalates quickly. I manage to gain control of my senses and push back from him.

"Will you show me what you actually do in here?" He smiles and gives me another small, sweet kiss.

We managed to look at a few of the financial books once we collected them off the floor with everything else that went flying when he threw me on the desk. He tried a few times to show me how he works, but he would not keep his hands to himself and I was not about to stop him. His touch set fire through my whole body, they all have that effect on me, but one on one is a different feeling completely.

By the time he is done with me it is dark outside and I am wrecked. We used every chair in the office, he had me pinned against the door at one point. His dominating personality shone through in every way. Sometimes rough and sometimes sweet, but always dominant.

velin?

We don't say anything as he pulls his shirt over my head since mine ended up in shreds on the floor. I tuck my head in the crook of his neck as he carries me to the elevator to our floor. I don't hear any voices or sounds. Everyone must have gone to bed already. I'm going to have to work on my concept of time. The having mates distraction is making that a problem.

He does set me down on my feet once we step off the elevator. I was confused and sad for a second and then irritated at myself for getting too comfortable being carried everywhere. No Alpha gets carried and just the thought of needing to be carried used to make me cringe. I head for the bathroom, where I can hear the shower already running.

I love how quickly I have gotten used

to being around the three of them without being covered up. My scars stopped bothering me a long time ago, but for some reason a twinge of nervousness, shyness, insecurity maybe, something passes through me when I look at them. They are all larger than life and gorgeous and I am just little old me. They were built like gods when we were younger and they just keep getting better as we get older. The Goddess was not stingy when she blessed my three guys. More muscles, more size, even tattoos. I just gained enough size to stay taller than their elbows. I am not jealous or angry, I could stare at them all day and not get bored, but this is when I understand Oliver's point of view, wondering, why me?
