Ours.

Romi squeaked as his fingers began sliding through her plump lower lips. “Nathan,” she moaned.

“Yes, baby. Those are my fingers touching you. No, don’t turn away. Look at us, Romi.” Eyes wide, she stared at the two of them. His hand was still wrapped around her throat, but not as tight. Nathan’s thumb rubbed along her jawline. He bent his head and kissed her lightly on the cheek. “You look so beautiful. I could fuck you all day. Don’t you want that baby? Don’t you want to feel my dick sliding inside your beautiful pussy? I want to spread you wide and eat your pretty pussy for hours, drinking your juices as they flow from your body.”

Romi’s body began to undulate and move in time with the stroke of his fingers. “Nathan.”

Two of his fingers penetrated her body, the slickness of her channel making it easier for him to slide in. “Aggghhh! There it is. Just imagine if this was my dick. I want to fuck you, Romi. I want to claim you. I want to make you mine.”

Slick sounds could be heard in between his words. Wetness flowed from her as his fingers continued to thrust inside, his thumb rubbing her clit. It felt so fucking good. Her mouth opened in ecstasy as he picked up the pace, thrusting faster and faster. Even though it was only his fingers, she felt so full. Fuller than she’d felt in years, with any other man.

“Every night, you would be loved and worshipped. My only focus would be to bring you pleasure, to make you scream my name.” He knew he was being selfish, but Nathan didn’t care. All he wanted was for Romi to be his. Earlier today, he’d been so afraid of losing her, he’d promised the Goddess that he would give over everything he was if only Romi was safe and sound. As long as they could bring her home with them, nothing else mattered. Now that she was here, all he wanted to do was fuck her. He wanted her crazy with lust over him the same way he was about her. He wanted her to crave him just as much as he obsessed over her.

Nathan felt her channel began to pulse and knew her release was upon her. This moment would be his. Tobias may be the primary in their relationship, but Nathan would always be the one who made her cum first. “Yes, sweetheart. Just like that. Let me feel you gush all over my fingers. Let me know how much you want this.” The faster his fingers moved, the louder she moaned. He knew Tobias could hear them but didn’t give a shit at the moment. Nathan needed this.

“Oh. Oh. Oh. Nathan!” Her body seized as her orgasm rushed over her. Nathan felt his fingers covered in wetness. Looking in the mirror, he caught the gaze of Tobias standing in the bathroom door. His arms crossed and his eyes glowing yellow. As Romi came down, he released his fingers from her body and brought them to his mouth. Licking her juices from his fingers, he savored the taste of his mate. Fuck Tobias. At this moment, Nathan didn’t care that he’d breached protocol. If Tobias felt betrayed enough, he could challenge Nathan. Something told him that wouldn’t happen though.

Finishing sucking Romi’s slickness from his fingers, he glanced at her in the mirror and noticed she was sex drunk. Her eyes were half-closed and her mouth slack.

Lifting her in his arms, he placed her on the bed. Leaning over, he kissed her lips softly. “Thank you for giving that to me. I will never forget how beautiful you looked breaking apart in my arms or the taste of your essence.”

“Mmmmm hmmmm,” she moaned as she stared at him.

Nathan stood from the bed and took a step back. Tobias walked over to stand next to him.

Looking down at Romi, he smirked. “Did you enjoy your little interlude with Nathan?” There was heat in his eyes a bit of snap in his tone.

The haze of lust left her eyes as she looked at the man standing in front of her. “Tobias. Um… it just happened.”

“I didn’t ask you about how it happened. I asked you if you enjoyed it.”

Glancing over at Nathan, he gave her no sign of what he wanted her to say. So, she just told the truth. “I did.”

Tobias looked at Nathan. “Are you finally on board with what needs to be done? Because if not, and you touched my mate, not only will I kill you, but I’ll kill your whole family.”

Nathan smiled. “As I’ve told you before, she’s our mate. Keep leaving me out and we’re going to have a problem.”

“Then it’s time you start acting the part. You claimed something that wasn’t yours. Don’t think I don’t know why you did it. I know what you’re feeling inside because we’re connected Nathan. I knew the moment you touched her, even though you tried to be sneaky about it. The moment you wrapped your hands around her neck, I could feel the need rushing through you. And when you fucked her with your fingers, I knew how much you wanted to fuck her for real. But you and I both know, you can’t. Whether you like it or not, you cannot fuck our mate for the first time without me. I have never denied your right to have our mate or your role in our lives. You’re the one who’s been fighting it this entire time. You’re the one who ran away like a coward. Do you really think I didn’t know what the fuck was happening in this bedroom with my own mate? THE FUCK YOU THINK THIS IS?”

If Nathan was a lesser man, he would be cowering in fear. If he were a true Beta, he never would have had the balls to do what he did in the first place. Looking at Romi, he smiled, “I think I wanted a taste of our mate.” He went to turn away when Tobias punched him in the jaw. Stars burst behind his eyes, and he stumbled backwards against the wall. He quickly got his bearings and unsheathed his claws. He’d been waiting for this moment for years. It was time to finally decide who was Alpha Supreme in this bitch.

Tobias snarled at Nathan, his teeth dropping and his voice deepening into a growl. “You feeling froggy? Then jump your Beta ass over here and get dropped.” Unsheathing his own claws, Tobias was ready for whatever happened next. Calling Nathan a Beta would piss him off, which is exactly why Tobias did it. Plus, he’s been itching for this fight for years. He knew Nathan was upset about how things had to be, but Tobias didn’t make the fucking rules. Fate had decided. Tobias knew Nathan was an Alpha. Had felt it from the first time they met as kids. That’s why they fought so much. Neither was willing to give into the other. Tobias would never bow down to another wolf, other than his own father.

“Stop. Both of you. Why are you fighting each other?” Romi stood from the bed and came in between them. “Didn’t you say I belonged to both of you? I’m pretty fucking positive you told me that I was the mate for both of you. That this Alpha Triad only worked if we were together. Was that all a lie?” She was looking at Tobias as she spoke, because he was the one who she felt thought he’d been wronged. Maybe he had. “Tobias. Look at me. You told me that being with both of you is what fate had decided. That we had all been blessed to rule your pack together. I’m sorry if Nathan and I did something we shouldn’t have.”

He finally glanced down at the woman standing in between them. His hazel eyes still bright but not glowing like they were before. He raised his hand and trailed his fingers down her face. “You are everything to me.” He glanced up at Nathan before speaking again. “You’re everything to us. Making you happy is all I want. Coming out of the bathroom and seeing you with Nathan…” he sighed before stepping closer and wrapping his arms around her waist. “You are his mate also, Romi. It pleases me that he can make you happy. Because I want you to be happy here with us. Having you by my side is all I need. Nathan has been a part of that picture for so long and we’ve hated each other for it all these years.”

“I never hated you, Tobias. I just… this wasn’t the life I thought I would have.” Nathan knew he and Tobias had to put the bullshit behind them if they would have a successful reign.

“Nathan. Brother. You and I both know how much you hate that you’re my second. You begrudge your role in this relationship. You always have. Even before our mate arrived, so you can’t use her presence as an excuse.” Never letting go of Romi, Tobias continued speaking. “You may want her for yourself, but it can never be. Not unless you plan to kill me.”

Tobias glared at Nathan. He knew something inside his friend wanted to harm him and claim their mate as his own, without Tobias being in the picture. While he would do almost anything for his friend, that was one thing he would never allow. Not being with Romi was not an option for Tobias. Nathan may want to live a different life, and he was free to do that, but it would be without Romi.

Looking down at Romi clinging to his arm, he smiled at her. Using one hand, he lifted her face to his. Against his better judgment, he leaned down and captured her lips in a soft kiss. Turning his face away from Nathan wasn’t the smartest thing to do, but he also counted on the fact that Nathan wasn’t a coward. That he wouldn’t attack him while his head was turned away. Just the feel of Romi’s soft lips made his cock thicken. Claiming her as his mate wasn’t something he could wait for much longer. As he looked down into her face, he tilted his lips in an attempt at a smile. “It’ll be fine. Just trust me.”

Turning back to Nathan, Tobias pushed Romi behind him. It would piss her off that he was placing her behind him, but she’d get over it. The look on his friend’s face hinted at his feelings. Good thing looks couldn’t kill.

“Listen, Brother. We can all be happy with our Triad. We can come up with a situation that works for all of us, so you and I can both be happy. But know this. I will never take a step back for you. I will never stop being who I am,” he growled. “I am blessed by the Goddess to be Alpha Supreme of this pack. That is my goddamned destiny, and no one will take that from me. You have been given the blessing of being part of the most powerful Alpha Triad in North America. You will never stop being who you are. My friend. My partner. My Advisor. The question is, are you willing to accept that our fates are intertwined, and our destinies are linked? Or will we have this fight every fucking day until you get it through your thick fucking head. I don’t want to fight with you, but for my mate, I will rip your fucking throat out and feed it to you if you can’t get the fuck over yourself.”
