Page 38 of Alpha's Rise

Glancing at the clock, she noticed it was just after twelve noon. She’d been in and out of sleep all night and morning. It was to be expected though, because her men did not know the meaning of take things slow. Not that she was complaining, but her body was feeling every bit of their nocturnal and early morning activities.

After they came together that first time, both her men became unstoppable. They both took her repeatedly, until at some point in the middle of the night, she begged them to let her rest. If she wasn’t pregnant already, then she soon would be, which may not be a bad thing.

Just thinking about what she’d gone through last night and earlier this morning brought a smile to her face.

Turns out, Nathan was very much a man in charge when in the bedroom. The way he controlled her pleasure, her orgasms, and her screams made her want to cry happy tears. Nothing had prepared her for just how dominant Nathan was, but damn, she was incredibly happy about it.

Surprisingly, Tobias allowed Nathan to take control when needed.

She’d just come from the shower when Nathan told her to climb on the bed and get on her knees. While a part of her wanted to tell him to leave her the hell alone, another part of her, the needy wench that she was, got her ass on the bed and spread her legs. There was no doubt that Nathan would make her feel good and she was more than ready. Glancing over at Tobias, she smiled at him. By the look on his face, he was enjoying the vision in front of him. Puckering her lips, she blew him a kiss. Might as well give her man a show.

“Get on your knees,” Nathan growled.

“Please, Nathan. I’m tired.”

His large hand grabbed her around the neck, not strong enough to hurt, but just enough to add pressure and let her know he was quite serious. “I need you again. Give me what I need, Mate.”

Still naked, Tobias sat on one of the chairs at the table. Drinking water from a glass, he stared at the two of them with a heated gaze. His legs were spread open, and his thick member was on full display. Just as she was about to ask him to step in, he quirked his eyebrow and shook his head. No, he would not be stepping in to help. Of course, he was enjoying the site of Nathan taking her. Shooting him a look of frustration, she couldn’t help but turn her attention back to Nathan when he leaned down and whispered in her ear.

“He will not help you. This is my time to have you on my own. We’ve taken you together, as dictated by the Goddess. You belong to us. Our mate. Our Queen. But at this moment, right now, I’m the one claiming you.” Nipping the flesh of her earlobe with his teeth, he continued. “Romi, give me what I need.”

How can such a simple turn of phrase make her heart hurt and her core ache for one man. She knew exactly what he meant. She’d seen him go through the pain of accepting that outside of this bedroom, and to the shifter world at large, he would always be second in their marriage. He would always be viewed as the third in their Alpha Triad. Tobias would always take precedence, and for a man like Nathan that was a hard pill to swallow. She understood his pain. His words of need, of demand, spoke to her heart. He was hers. Her husband. Her mate. Her lover.

There would be no other man who could take the place of Nathan or Tobias in her life. Opening her eyes, she glanced at Tobias again. He nodded at her, giving his permission for whatever happened next.

The need to defer to Tobias was something that happened after they became mated last night. It was as if she’d been broken down and rebuilt in the way the Goddess intended. Tobias was her Alpha. She would bear his children. She would die for him, and he would die to protect her. Their bond was unbreakable.

Her heartrate increased as she finally understood what it felt like to be so wholly consumed by love for someone else. For two someone’s. Romi didn’t understand how this all worked, but it felt good. As she felt Nathan slide inside, she hissed at the combination of pleasure and pain. The burn and stretch of his thick cock entering her body after she’d been taken over and over again made her gasp.

As Tobias sat at the table across from the bed and watched his two mates together, he held no jealousy. Of course, he would always want to be inside his mate, but he knew Nathan needed this time with her. The two of them needed to forge their own bond as a couple. Plus, Tobias already took her on his own after they came together. Just thinking of the memory made him smile and his dick harden.

As Nathan lay beside them, Tobias had climbed between Romi’s legs and fucked her long and strong. His tongue laved over their bite marks, speeding up the healing process and sealing their commitment to each other. Yes, he was the next pack Alpha by birthright, and he was imbued with special powers that he would need to strengthen his Triad. Nathan was not only his friend, his brother, but he was also the missing piece to Tobias’s future. No other puzzle piece would fit with him and Romi so perfectly.

And as Tobias had fucked their mate as Nathan watched, he couldn’t help but be at peace. With every moan he wrung from her, every time she whispered his name in awe, and as her channel clenched when she came all over his cock, he knew Nathan would eventually do the same later.

Behind closed doors, they would share Romi equally.

It was the only way this could work between the three of them.

Outside, beyond this space, they all knew Nathan’s role would be different. There was no other choice for him but to serve as an Advisor to Tobias. His role was meant to calm the heated confrontations that would inevitably rise between Tobias and other pack leaders. But, with Romi by his side, Nathan’s ability to calm their tempers would be greatly tested. Especially when he himself was a hothead.

If nothing else, their lives together would be interesting.

But Tobias could finally acknowledge that his friend was no Omega or Beta. He’d never been. Which is why they fought so hard. Each of them was intent on overtaking the other. As young men, the matches were much more even. They hadn’t fully come into their own strength and power.

As grown men, Tobias had no desire to go against his brother and pack mate. The real probability of Nathan being maimed or killed by Tobias’s hand was a real possibility. Even the thought of it didn’t sit well with him.

Finding a balance between the two of them, so they could live a good life, was the best way.

As he watched Nathan slide into Romi’s quivering sheath as she moaned in pleasure, all Tobias could do was smile. This time alone, building their relationship as a Triad would bind them together stronger. This is what they needed. If they were blessed enough to come out of this week with a pup growing inside Romi’s stomach, he would never question the Goddesses decisions again. He wanted her to quicken with his baby. It was time to build his family and settle both of his mates into their new lives.

Plus, Tobias’s parents, all three of them, still had a lot of time to lead the pack. There was no rush for him to take the throne.

Sending a telepathic message to his father, he shared that they would need food sent up to his wing. At least four meals a day for the next week. With all the fucking they would be doing over the next few days, both he and Nathan would need to replenish their energy on a regular basis. And if he knew Romi, she would be right there with them.

There wasn’t really a formal wedding that would take place. The mating was the most important part of the process. This next week would be their honeymoon period and he wanted to take full advantage of it. Since this suite was a medium sized apartment by normal standards, they had everything they needed.

Him. Romi. Nathan.
