Killikbarked a loud, exasperated groan, asLouisaandUlfarrexchanged an uneasy glance — but thenRosamerrily laughed, and swattedKillik’sarm with her papers. “Itreally is too easy,” she said cheerfully. “Butwhatever you decide to call it,I’myour secretary.I’llsend you word of the first meeting.”

Withthat, she spun and flounced off withJohn-Katoward the door.LeavingKillikto stare after them with mingled disbelief and outrage, and maybe — maybe — just a twinge of amusement, too.Butjust to be sure,Louisayanked out her knife, and pointed it toward his chest. “Youwillbe nice to her,Killik,” she said flatly. “Andyou will begrateful.”

Killikscowled and spluttered, whipping out his own dagger to point back at her. “Ishall not be grateful for a title such as this!” he shot back. “Youken anySkaialive shall wish to be part of aWolf-CampWildernessandWellnessEducationalColloquium?”

Louisascoffed back at him, whileUlfarrgave a low, rolling chuckle, and then hauled them both into his arms.Noteven seeming to notice their blades both scraping into his chest, but instead kissing both their foreheads, and then squeezing them even tighter against him.

“Ach, my fierce pups,” he murmured, so husky, so fond. “Skai-kesh has so greatly blessed me, with you.”

Andblinking atKillik, at his own flushed, squashed face,Louisacould only nod, and smile, and breathe in deep.BreatheinKillik, andUlfarr, and the truth ofSkai-kesh’s blessing upon them.Teemingand thronging with so much life, and so much hope.

ShewasSkai, and she was home.

Thatnight, in front of the camp’s roaring bonfire,UlfarrandLouisalaidKillikout between them, and put on a show.

Louisahadn’t expected a rut to have ceremonial aspects, butKillikandUlfarrhad both followed its traditions with surprising care.Ulfarrhad first formally askedSuneand his former pack to stand guard out in the forest, and once they’d fanned out into the trees, the rest of the clan circled the clearing to bear witness.WithSimon,Maria, andDrafliall among them, andUlfarrhad then bowed low toward them, and asked their blessing.

Thankfully, they’d all given it —Simonhad even praisedUlfarr’schoice in a mate — and thenUlfarrhad calledKillikforward.AndwhenKillikhad slipped out of the trees,Louisahad gasped aloud at the sight of him, with his tall, scrubbed-clean body, the long, shining fall of his black hair, and — theclothes.Theever-present trousers had vanished, replaced only by a leather loincloth, and there was a large silvery fur tied around his shoulders, making him look surprisingly bulky, powerful, dangerous.

Ulfarrhad startled at the sight too, and he’d looked almost shy as he’d takenKillik’shand, and kissed it.Andthen he’d askedLouisato come forward, too, and join him in holding this rut uponKillik, and claiming him as his lifelong bonded mate.

Louisahad willingly complied, striding forward to meet them, dressed in only her own loincloth, too.AndatUlfarr’ssign, she’d carefully taken offKillik’sfur, smiling at his flushed face, his bright glinting eyes.Andthen she’d knelt, and spread the fur out onto the packed earth before the fire, whileUlfarrdrewKillikclose, pressed a soft, reverent kiss to his mouth, and…

Heattacked.TacklingKillikbodily down to the fur, pinning him onto his back, kicking his legs wide apart.Andwith a fierce, jolting thrust,Ulfarrburied himself deep inside, his hips powerfully plunging, his hand clamped tightly toKillik’sstraining neck.

Fora breath,Louisaonly stood and stared, her mouth dry, the shock sparking through her chest — butUlfarr’sface was already buried inKillik’sthroat, inhaling, making sure he was safe.AndwhenUlfarrsharply signed towardLouisa—tend him for me— she rapidly nodded, and dropped down beside them.Hergaze sweeping overKillik, his stunned face, his flushed ears, the wild light in his eyes…

“Lookat you, pup,” she breathed intoKillik’sear, as she stretched long against him, and caressed her hand against his gasping, trembling chest. “You’reso good, aren’t you?Sohandsome.Sobrave, when you’re opened up wide, and taking your big wolf’s strong ploughing.”

Killik’seyes glimmered, flicking hungry toUlfarr’sface, andLouisashifted closer beside him on the fur, slipping her hand further down to stroke at his half-hard cock. “Sogorgeous, love,” she murmured. “Andyou’ll be even more stunning when you’re full of your wolf’s strongSkaiseed, won’t you?”

Killikjerked a nod, brief but urgent, his wide eyes still fixed toUlfarr’sdriving body above him.Whilehis mouth opened and closed, as if he wanted to speak, but couldn’t — andLouisakissed his cheek, stroked up and down his hardening shaft. “Canyou sign it, sweetheart?” she murmured. “Tellour wolf your truth?”

Killikgasped and shuddered, his body wrenching beneath every slam ofUlfarr’ships, but then he raised his hand and signed, shaky but clear.Yes,Wolf.Fuckme.Rutme.Harder.

Ulfarr’sgrowl was almost a roar, and after another sharp inhale againstKillik’sneck, he obeyed.Clampinghis hand tighter aroundKillik’sthroat, shoving him down into the fur, his thrusts powerful enough to chatterKillik’steeth.ButKillikkept signing it, kept begging for more, whileLouisakept caressing him, praising him.Feelinghow he quivered and responded to her touch, his cock now rigid and leaking beneath her stroking fingers, his eyes fluttering, his back arching up —

Hecried out as he came, spilling all overLouisa’sfingers, spraying across his bare sweaty chest, his neck, even his chin.Andat the sight of it,Ulfarrgave one last, ramming thrust, his groan ragged and deep — and then he poured out, too.Hisentire body shuddering, his head tilted back, the howl tearing out of his throat.

Butinstead of waiting, or stopping,Ulfarryanked out ofKillikagain, and then grasped for his waist.FlippingKillikforward onto his hands and knees, so he was now facingUlfarr’ssoftened, dripping cock.Andafter another sharp inhale againstKillik’shead,Ulfarrcaught a large handful of his loose hair, and draggedKillik’ssweaty face forward. “Makeme hard again, pup,” he hissed, “and suck me down your throat.”

Killikgroaned and nodded, and instantly suckedUlfarr’sslack bulge into his mouth, whileUlfarrburied his fingers deeper intoKillik’shair.HoldingKillikin place like this, kneeling low before him, and it belatedly occurred toLouisathat he was showingKillikoff, too.Showingoff where he’d openedKillikwide, where the hot seed was already escaping from inside him, streaking down his thighs.

AnddespiteKillik’sfervent efforts onUlfarr’sgroin, the sounds wet and sloppy and slurping,Louisacould see him still trembling, the flush now bright red on his ears and cheeks.Wantingthis, no question — especially withUlfarrregularly scenting for it like this — but perhaps also not used to being the one exposed, on his knees, on display…

AndLouisawasn’t doing this, she wasn’t, stroking her way downKillik’sshivering back, trailing kisses against his sweaty skin.Untilshe was kissing at his opened, leaking crease, letting her tongue slip between, lower, lower.Untilshe could taste that spurt ofUlfarr’ssweet seed, dribbling hot onto her lips…

Killik’sshudders were more like quakes now, his body wrenching betweenLouisa’smouth, andUlfarr’sgroin.Orrather,Ulfarr’sslick, fully hard cock, now gliding swift and strong between his sucking lips, sinking deep into his throat.Hardenough that those were tears, streaking downKillik’scheeks, but his shaky hand was still signing, saying,Yes, harder, more.Giveit to me, feed me, flood me full of you…

Ulfarrhowled again as he poured out, bearing down intoKillik’sthroat.Holdinghimself there for a long, sustained moment before yanking out again, his softened bulge bobbing beforeKillik’seyes, as a long string of shiny saliva dangled down toward the fur.

“Good, pup,”Ulfarrsaid, rough, after another deep inhale againstKillik’smussed hair. “Butyou have not yet thanked me.”

Killik’seyes fluttered, his moan thick in his throat, but he nodded, and leaned forward to gently kiss at the tip ofUlfarr’sslack, dripping cock. “Thankyou,Wolf,” he said, hoarse. “Forgranting me leave to suck you, and drink your strongSkaiseed.”

Ulfarrgrunted and nodded, his hand caressingKillik’sflushed face, patting his cheek.Andthen he guidedKillikdown onto his back on the fur, and gently nudgedLouisaon top. “Areward, pup,” he murmured, as he settled down besideKillik, and nipped at his ear. “Ourwoman’s sweet womb upon you.”
