To me.

They’d have chased me through the town in fur, the members of the pack urging us on as we wound our way through the streets of our hometown and into the forests beyond. Sometimes people tried to assist the omega or hinder her, stepping out in front of the boys or the omega, trying to slow them down.

But I wouldn’t have slowed my pace.

Not until it was the right time. I howled, throwing back my head and calling out my own cry of rebellion. And when I heard theirs back in answer? My jaws widened, my fangs feeling the play of cool air over them before I took off.

Into the deeper, darker parts of the forest, away from the moon’s glow. Away from them, home, my cottage and all of the trappings of my human side. I wasn’t in control right now, she was and she ran and ran, with the endless efficiency of a wolf, right up until she came here. The trees had thinned in this spot for some reason, so that the moon beaming down on me was like a spotlight, alerting anyone in the forest as to where I was.

But even if this had happened back in Stanthorpe, it would all eventually come to an end. My alphas would have run me to ground, cornered me until I had nowhere else to run. Just like they did now.

Massive grey wolves appeared at three points around the clearing, their muzzles pulled back into snarls. They stepped slowly, purposefully towards us, but because they were each coming from a different direction, my wolf spun around and snapped at the air, declaring her challenge to each alpha. They thought to bring us down, to subdue us, but we were skittish, wanting to face one challenge, then the other as they got closer. Because it was in an omega’s nature to fight the approach of her mates, to bite at one muzzle as it dared to get closer, then spin around and snap at the next as they dared to nose at our behind. Our downfall was inevitable, but right now instincts rode us to make them prove they were the right ones to mate us. We focussed on Atlas-wolf and then Jayden-wolf, growling our disdain, our fury at their approach, and as we did, Xavier appeared out of nowhere, his wolf straddling mine, right as his fangs snapped down on thick fur of my ruff.

The others approached as I went limp, other instincts kicking in. I dropped down on my belly as my hips tilted backwards. Xavier’s growls and his brothers’ felt like they reverberated all the way through me, pinning me to the ground. But rather than be a helpless state that was imposed upon me, it was this: Surrender.

The thing I’d always wanted to do the minute I was with them. I’d fought that impulse, obviously, but it bit down deeper the older we got. Our bodies were maturing, growing towards each other like trees that were planted too close, winding around each other, until now.

“Come back to skin.” Xavier was crouched over me now, not his wolf. “Come back to skin, beautiful, and tell me what you want.”

He ground out those words, part growl, part human voice, but they had the desired effect. My fur receded, leaving my human body lying beneath his.

I became painfully aware of my nakedness, the rocks and moss and leaf litter sticking to my skin, something that my fur had protected me from, before I’d shifted back, but that was just background noise to this. His body covering mine, his heavy weight pinning me to the ground and, most of all, the heavy weight of his cock pressed into my arse, shifting restlessly against me.

“Tell me what you want, Kai.” Xavier’s voice sounded hoarse and ragged right now. “Tell me you want me, want us.”

That was an afterthought, we both knew it, but he’d forced himself to recognise his brothers.

“You know how shit would’ve ended that day if your mum hadn’t fucked everything up,” Jayden said, moving forward and tipping my chin up so I met his eyes. “If we hadn’t let her manipulate us into claiming the wrong woman. It was you, always you.”

“So tell us what you…” Xavier’s voice trailed away as I moved underneath him. My body felt slow and sinuous as my spine stretched far further than it ever had been able to, tilting my hips back and up until I was pressed up hard against his cock. “Fuck…”

Atlas dropped down beside me as well, tilting my head sideways to press a kiss between my lips before sliding his hand underneath me. I jerked when he found my clit, one of Xavier’s hands clamping down to stop me from moving. And between them I was caught, forced to feel the pleasure Atlas wrought and that which Xavier threatened to.

“I thought you wanted to wait,” Jay mocked Xavier. “To go on dates and—”

“Shut the fuck up.” Xavier’s grip on me tightened. “I’m holding on by a fucking thread as it is.”

“So don’t,” Atlas told him.

“I need to hear her say it.” Xavier reached down between us, moving his cock until it grazed against my swollen seam, growling when he felt how wet I was. “I need to hear her say that she needs me as much as I need her.”

“Yes.” This came out as a little yip, my body feeling like it was a string being wound tighter, ready to snap. My hips moved in time with Atlas’ strokes, which resulted in me rubbing against the head of Xavier’s cock. “Yes, please, Xavier—”

Any other response from me was cut off as he thrust inside me.

Fuck.

I’d spent most of my life not feeling this sensation of fullness, and, despite whatever Xavier had to say, I wasn’t going to let myself miss out on this again. I moved then, forcing his cock deeper, right up to the hilt. But when he bottomed out, we both groaned.

“Jesus fucking Christ, Kai…” Xavier hissed, his mouth on the back of my neck to kiss me rather than bite, as his hips bucked helplessly forward. “I fucking knew it would feel amazing to get inside you but... fuck.”

“More…” I whined, clawing at the dirt, the rich scents of moss and earth filling my nose. My thighs widened, my hips tilting back so far, I felt the tension in the joints. “More…”

“I can’t, Kai, not out here,” Xavier groaned, but in counterpoint to that, his cock stabbed deeper. I felt an itch build up inside me, one only he could scratch and when he did… It’d feel amazing, I just fucking knew it.

“You fucking better knot our girl,” Jayden snarled and when my eyes flicked up, his were purest silver. “You better give her fucking everything she wants or pull the fuck out.”

“No, I can’t...”
