Page 68 of Wolf Unleashed
“One of the other shifters smelled the blood and ratted us out to the guards in exchange forprivileges, whatever that entails. The guards threw us into the cell before we could do anything. Later, when Rafe told me to kill you, I figured out what he was doing. A modified version of his prior plan, except he expected you’d be the one finding and escaping with her. The guards would have seen me trying to slip the tracker to you and I didn’t want to chance dropping it if you put up a real fight, so I shoved it behind the toilet. It won’t draw the DSA to us, but it will still lead them to the facility.”
“That’s all we need. We’ll hear the assault on the compound, and then we can leave here. We don’t need the DSA to get her out of here, we just need the diversion. When are they coming?”
“They gave us four days, figuring it could take that long being moved around before we ended up in the WSSO’s compound where Alyssa was being held.”
“You two took a big risk. You could have ended up at any WSSO lab.”
“The DSA had intel of where and how shifters were being captured for Dr. Monroe’s use. And we gambled that if the WSSO had her, she’d be with her dad.”
“Intel from where?”
“Your alpha.”
“Drake?” Maddox huffed. “I wonder what that cost the DSA.”
“Their problem, not ours.” Tiernan opened the door to the cabin and froze.
Maddox’s wolf roared at seeing their alpha thrusting into his female on the bed.
“It’s Tiernan and Maddox,” Rafe said to her, never slowing his thrusts.
Maddox needed to get used to seeing these males with Alyssa. She wasn’t just his, but he had a strong blood-bond with her, a blood-bond he’d shut down. No wonder his wolf was out of sorts. Without the connection to her, he couldn’t read her emotions, couldn’t know if being taken behind by Rafe was something she wanted.
As he opened the bond, a torrent of emotion struck him so hard he stumbled. Immense relief pulsed the strongest, but beneath the surface an intense passion lingered. For Rafe, whose thrusts slowed to an erotic show of caring as he kissed her through what sounded like a powerful orgasm. When her body finally relaxed, she tilted her head to look at Tiernan, who stood at the side of the bed, two fingers trailing over her arm, the only part of her not fully covered by Rafe’s massive body.
She reached over and took Tiernan’s length in her hand, even as Rafe continued moving in her.
The energy of the bond heightened, magnified as she stroked Tiernan’s cock. Tiernan moved closer until her tongue licked the tip. Light and playful. Maddox could feel her every emotion as her lips wrapped around Tiernan’s cock, slowly drawing him in.
“That’s it, Tiernan. Give her what she wants,” Rafe said.
Maddox watched, partly trying to calm his wolf and enthralled at the same time. Not at the erotic display that had his own cock hardening, but at the sense of completeness moving through the bond from Alyssa. She loved these shifters as much as she loved him. All of them together. He hadn’t truly understood that before.
As she sucked Tiernan down, Rafe roared and then stilled above her. Maddox knew the moment the alpha found his release as the bond thrummed with pride, happiness, and a sense of awe. Seconds later, the bond roared to life once more as Tiernan slid from her mouth. Beautiful hazel eyes stayed locked on Tiernan, but she said nothing as he stepped away. Sadness seeped into Maddox’s soul from his angel, all because Tiernan didn’t stay.
Maddox knew—felt—that she needed Tiernan, but right now Maddox’s wolf needed to dominate, to claim his female, as did Maddox. Both Rafe and Tiernan must have seen something in his eyes, for they both stepped away from the bed as Maddox approached. He could only take so much of seeing, hearing, scenting other males claim the female that was his by right, byblood-bond. The fact that he hadn’t shredded Rafe and Tiernan was momentous, but he could only take so much. He needed to reassert his claim.
Her breath hitched when her eyes finally found his. Hazel eyes filled with a need he felt right down to his soul.
An insatiable need that would not be denied.
“Maddox!” she squeaked as Maddox grabbed her by her ankles and pulled her to the edge of the bed.
This was a time for claiming, not talking. He flipped her onto her stomach and covered her with his body. With his nose, he scented her, starting at her neck and moving down her torso. She smelled of too many males, guards that had dared touch her and males that registered as brothers. Those last ones he could forgive—the brothers who’d left their scent on her because she’d accepted them as hers—but she needed to wear his scent, to let all know she was his as well.
His lips met her ear. As hard as it was to talk, he would not scare her. “You’re mine, angel,” he said as he slid through her folds, lubricating himself.
She turned her head to the side, exposing her throat and giving him full access. The ultimate sign of trust for a shifter. “And you’re mine,” she whispered back as she wiggled her lush ass against his belly.
He would not follow another male’s actions, be second best to his female. He sat back on his knees, hating the separation from her, but it was only temporary as he ran his hands over her ass and placed his tip at that beautiful rose that was his to take.
He and his wolf loved how she submitted, how her body pulled him in. Weeks, days, hours. Each time he’d been away from her felt like an eternity. This right here, sliding in and out of her, hearing her breathless moans of pleasure, feeling that sense of wonder and joy across the bond, and knowing she was safe, was all that mattered.
As he rocked into her, he spread his hands over her back, feeling the smooth flesh, marveling that she was his.
“Feels so good, Maddox,” she said as he moved her hair to the side and kissed along the crook of her neck.
Perfect. Except there was a sense of regret coming through the bond.
