Everyone could get to the allied territories and then I could find Odette and life would be rainbows and roses. Except my life was never rainbows or roses. Freya chimed in, “It will be now.Mate will make it so.” That just wasn’t my reality anymore. My life was dark, dreary, and cold.
We ran downstairs and Xander’s eyes instantly found mine. He looked upset about whatever he was discussing with Phil. Phil quickly hung up his phone. Freya asked, “Who do you think they were talking to?”
I answered, “Gage. Xander’s Gamma. Easily… it was definitely him.” She chuckled, “I’ll go with your guess.” She could ask Oden. She hummed, “You are correct it was Gage and he’s intrigued I knew that. Don’t worry, I blamed you.” I bit my lip so I didn’t laugh. Our interaction practically struck me in the chest. I’d missed out on moments like this with her….but I had her now so…it was ok.
I asked my mate, “Are you ok?” Xander kissed me possessively until Phil cleared his throat. He broke apart from me. It looked like it took effort for him to say, “Let’s get going.” Sierra linked, “Look at you having sexy girl mojo! I knew you had it in you.”
I asked, “Huh?” She snorted, “You kiss so well the man wants to claim you.” I blushed. The truth was I’d read a lot about kissing. In book and how to’s. I didn’t want to be completely unprepared….just in case I did convince Xander to give me a chance. Or in case the mate bond just demanded he kiss me.
Xander popped us on a mountain that overlooked a beautiful town and lake. I gasped, “It’s beautiful.” Phil announced, “We will meet up for lunch. Are we doing that at the usual place, Cousin?” Alexander answered, “Yup.” Phil opened a portal and he and Sierra stepped through.
I practically shrieked, “Did they just go to the Hackura realm? I just... seriously? They did… they totally did…” Xander laughed, “No, they didn’t. They briefly stepped through it. Phil likes that mountain.” He pointed to one that was three mountains away from us.
I asked, “Will you shift for me? I want to see your wolf.” Freya purred, “Oden. You want to see Oden.” I replied, “I know that….but he doesn’t need to know I know his wolf’s name… I’ve obviously known forever…but he doesn’t need to know that.” She reasoned, “A lot of people know his wolf’s name.” Fair.
I amended, “Oden. I’d like to see Oden.” Xander’s eyes went black. Oden asked, “Would you, little mate?” I nodded, “Yes… but I’m not really little… so…” He chuckled, “You are smaller than me.” I asked, “So… what you’re saying is everyone is little to you. Because you’re a giant… got it.”
He grabbed my hand, took me a little deeper into the forest, then started to strip. I blushed. Oden laughed, “You’ve seen all of me, little mate.” I agreed, “Yes… but… it’s like daylight… and… no you’re just right.” Oden smiled, “I know. I enjoy how you look at my body and so does Alexander.”
I felt my face flame, “Umm well… you’re like… sculpted… so…that’s really your fault…when you think about it…and possibly all the gym sponsorships you have…definitely all the practices you do…for sure.” He winked at me and I was certain that time stopped again.
In the next second... he shifted into a beautiful black wolf with white markings. He looked just like my Xander wolf. Oden tilted his head at me. I linked Freya, “Did I say that out loud? Say no… please say no.” Freya said, “No, you didn’t say it out loud. Isn’t he handsome?” He was.
In fact, I’d never seen a wolf, other than my stuff wolf, that looked like his. I reached forward and started to stroke his fur. He shivered under my touch. I declared, “You’re bigger than… other Alpha wolves I’ve seen… like, by a lot. I mean that was the rumor about your dad and your family’s wolves… but like in person… wow… like… wow.” He chuckled but this should be studied.
Freya linked, “Oden wants you to ride him.” My hand faltered, “But… he’s an Alpha wolf, Freya. They don’t just let people ride them.” Freya argued, “You aren’t just people. Can you please do this for me? I can’t shift and play with him yet.” I felt guilty about that.
I was getting all our time with our mate, and she was still locked away inside me. Freya assured me, “I’m getting stronger. It helps being around Xander and Oden.” I spoke out loud, “Freya says you want me to ride you.” Oden nodded his head. I sighed, “Ok... if I’m too heavy... this is really on you.” He snorted as I climbed onto his back. He leaped forward.
I couldn’t help but laugh. I’d ridden my dad and brother’s wolves before for fun, but this… I felt free riding on Oden’s back. Just like when I was dancing. We stopped by a lake. I climbed off Oden, and he shifted back. I smiled, “This place is… quiet.”
His voice sounded husky when he answered me, “It’s off the beaten path. Only wolves could find this place. Or other animals.” I looked up noting his eyes were full of lust. The look alone had my underwear dripping wet. Which he definitely smelled. Freya purred, “He does.”
He gripped my waist then practically seared his lips to mine. We lost ourselves to that feeling. He pulled back barely even breathing hard while I was panting. He whispered, “Are you sore?” I shook my head, “No. Take me Xander.” He growled and his lips were back on mine.
My back was against a tree as we ground into each other. I couldn’t get my pants off at this angle. UGH! He snapped them off in the next second. I felt his finger at my entrance. That was so not what I was wanting at the moment.
I said, “I want to feel you… take me. I’m ready.” Xander growled, “Fuck me, Lovebug.” I admitted, “I’m trying.” He chuckled, “You’ll be the death of me.” He slowly slid inside me. He groaned, “You’re so damn wet.”
I mean… I did tell him that…right? Maybe but my brain couldn’t form that thought to say out loud. I could only moan. I didn’t care that my vest was going to be ruined... I could only think about the pleasure I felt.
We didn’t stop for hours. He’d even snapped us a mattress at one point. We fell apart in a heap. I snorted, “We are going to look like the hot mess express at lunch.” Xander laughed and snapped us back to normal with our clothes back on.
I admitted, “Well… that’s handy.” Xander rolled on top of me, “Not really. Not when I already want you again.” I blushed. Xander groaned, “My cousin has lost his touch. They are waiting for us already.” He stood and pulled me up to him.
He popped us closer to where they must be. I nearly laughed when I spotted Sierra’s sex hair. Xander snapped his fingers and fixed it. Phil nudged her saying, “I told you he’d fix it.” She smiled at him, and he turned to face my mate.
Sierra mouthed, “Holy shit. That snapping thing is SO handy.” It was. Phil announced, “Alexander, I ran into Elias. He’d like us to stop by the gym.” I nearly squealed because I knew who Elias was because they hung out with him if they were here so I had a folder on him…I hadn’t met him but he was a Werewolf.
Freya laughed in my head. I tried to calmly ask, “A wolf gym?” Phil nodded. I clapped asking, “Can we go? Please! They would be a challenge… their pack is good… I like challenges… I like to win… and I would… and…”
Sierra snorted, “I told you she’d be all about it, Phil. Just conjure our gym clothes here.” Alexander agreed, “I can do that.” We ate and talked for about an hour. I was really excited. I needed a good workout.
We went to the gym on the pack grounds. Xander handed me a bag with clothes. Sierra and I ran off to the girls locker room. Igrabbed the yoga pants and the tight blue long sleeved pullover then pulled my hair back into a ponytail.
Sierra snorted, “They aren’t ready for you.” I admitted, “No one ever is. It’s kind of… the running theme of my life. It’s the literal one thing I can count on. So, let’s go show them what’s up.” We walked out and I nearly tripped over my own dang feet.
Xander was already in the ring with his shirt off. I couldn’t help but stop to watch him. He was so fluid on his feet. He was just warming up with his fight, but he still looked good. I glanced around the gym to see if everyone was as captivated by him as I was.
