Edric was breathing heavy. He couldn’t wait. He needed her so badly his wolf let out a low growl. He stood at the edge of the bed, trying to catch his breath. Melena rolled from Chance’s arms and stared at him.
“Come to me,” she whispered. He leaped onto the bed right between her legs.
She squealed and he laughed as he hugged her to him.
“The best for last, sweetheart.” She smiled then opened wide as he slowly pushed his cock into her cunt. She felt slick and warm and oh, so very good, instantly easing the anxiety his wolf had felt.
He caressed her curves, absorbed the calmness around the room as his brothers and Julius watched in ease.
Edric moved his fingers through her long brown hair and held her face between his hands as he sat up. Her thighs were over his thighs and he could feel her juices drip between them.
“So sexy and wet. Your body knows that you belong to us. You feel it don’t you, baby?”
“Yes, Edric. I want more. I want you all everywhere.”
He adjusted his body and flipped Melena onto her belly shocking her. She gasped as she turned and a moment later he was back inside of her, pumping his hips into her pussy from behind.
“Let’s see how this feels.”
He ran a finger from her pussy to her ass with one hand while he cupped her breast with the other. Melena moaned as he pressed his finger through the tight rings and into her ass.
“Oh!” She moaned then pushed back against his finger and it was way out of control. He increased his thrusts and pulled on her breast. He felt the feeling of satisfaction just out of reach as he thrust his cock into her pussy and his finger into her ass as he pulled on her breasts. He inhaled deeply, instantly smelling the aroma of Melena’s cream and he needed more. He let go of her breast and wrapped an arm tightly around her midsection as he pulled back and shoved his cock into her deeply. He roared as he bit into her shoulder, marking her like his brothers had, before he felt her go limp in his arms.
“Ours, forever.”
Chapter 15
“What would you like to do? Fight one another? I am just as shocked as you are, Gideon,” Julius stated firmly as Gideon paced in front of him.
Gideon ran his fingers through his hair.
“You knew she was your mate the first time you saw her at the gala.”
“I knew she was my intended mate when she was a child, living in Hawaii with her family.”
Gideon widened his eyes.
“How can that be?”
“Easy. I was a friend of Zeikele, her father. I was present in the meeting where he declared having information on certain packs forming armies to strengthen their positions. He was a forceful and very intelligent wolf. He loved his family dearly.” Julius walked over toward the wall by the fake window. Outside it was daylight, but he was floors below his estate in a makeshift home of darkness. He should be sleeping, but he yearned for his mate. This was one negative that would surely take a toll on Melena.
“I saw Melena when she was born. I visited the house often, but it wasn’t until she turned eleven that I realized she was of some greater importance to me than Zeikele’s daughter. He noticed how I would watch her and he made me swear that I would stay away from her. He didn’t want his only daughter mated to a vampire and stuck living for eternity. He didn’t even want people to know of her existence.”
“He was trying to protect her from her destiny. It explains why he trained her the way he did,” Gideon stated.
“It was that training that saved her life. I don’t know the details of her experience, but having the ability to read her thoughts, I know she seeks revenge on Morago. I know she saw her family massacred.”
“My brothers and I entered the Mahalan home after the attack. Lord Crespin sent us at the time, but we were too late. The one thing about what we felt and saw that will always remain in our minds was her scent. We knew our mate was present, but with all that blood and torn flesh, we assumed she had been killed.”
“You’ve all lived your life as I have. A mate not meant to be ours and one taken from us because of the betrayal and criminal mind of killers. The gods call us to Melena now for good reason. She is in danger. As soon as Morago realizes that Zeikele’s daughter is alive, he will hunt her down.”
“Then we must put our annoyance with this situation behind us, wolf. An ultimate power has made this decision and we must abide.”
“That is not going to be so easy, Julius.”
“Tell me about it. I have never broken a promise and I have never shared a woman with anyone, never mind wolves.”
Gideon smirked.
“We will survive as long as we put Melena first.”
“Agreed.”
* * * *
Melena was fixing Saxton’s pillow behind his head as he sat on the couch, and then she helped to put Tango’s feet up. Around the room her wolves sat making low growling noises. She turned to them.
“Cut it out. They need coddling. They nearly died.”
Saxton held her hand and sniffed her.
“A lot happened while we slept.”
She blushed.
“I’d say so.”
“Why haven’t any of you marked her?” he asked.
Gideon now entered the room. Julius remained downstairs since it was daylight.
“What do you mean?” he asked as he pulled Melena closer to him. He wrapped his arms around her from behind and nuzzled her neck. He loved that she smelled of him and his brothers. The bond was taking. His wolf was a bit upset at the traces of Vampire intertwined, but he supposed they had no choice but to get used to it.
“She is not marked. There are no bites,” Tango added.
Gideon scrunched his eyes and Melena reached up to touch where the men had bitten her. She knew the purpose. In marking her, they let every wolf know that she was taken and mated to them. She felt the smooth skin.
“They’re gone,” Gideon said.
Melena was feeling different all morning. She couldn’t quite place her finger on the reason why, but she knew things were different. She blamed it on having sex with five wolves and a vampire, but something told her it was more.
She remembered hitting the pavement during the battle outside their home. She had cut her elbow and upper arm badly. Pulling from Gideon’s embrace she looked at her arm. Nothing.
“What is it?” Chance asked her.
“I know I cut my arm last night. I felt the stinging sensation and saw the blood. I was so worried about Tango and Saxton that I didn’t remember until now.”
“What could it mean?” Chordeo asked.
“She has magic flowing through her,” Cullen said as he entered the room. He was Julius’s friend and he maintained the house.
“What do you mean, Cullen?” Chordeo asked him.
“Kamea is a goddess of Polynesian decent. It is a rare breed of wolf but important to the sanctity of the circle. Her ancestors helped to establish the circle of elders many moons ago.”
“I thought the Goddess of the circle was a legend?” Mano asked.
“Yeah, someone the elders made up to place fear into the children so they followed wolf law and didn’t go rogue,” Edric said.
“Afraid not,” Melena replied sarcastically then looked at Cullen.
He squinted his eyes at her. “You did not tell them?”
She shook her head.
“Tell us what?” Gideon asked.
“I am this Goddess of the circle as you know. However, I also have the power to decide who remains as circle members and who needs to step down. I have been working on creating the Security Ring to ensure that once the circle of elders is in place, that they will be safe and secure.”
The men appeared shocked but then Gideon appeared upset.
“They’ll want to kill her or make her help them to overtake the circle.”
“Exactly. That is why you, your brothers, and Julius need to protect her. At any moment the magic tha
t has sealed her identity will be released. She will no longer be able to hide from the enemy. In fact, when these men realize that Zeikele’s daughter Kamea is alive and well, they will want to possess her for her land and her bloodline. There are only a few living relatives of hers and they have been placed under a protective spell by the gods.”
“Wonderful,” Chordeo replied.
“This could work well actually,” Melena said as she stood by the window and looked out. She wanted to destroy the bad guys and secure the circle. Perhaps making her presence known would pull these creeps out of the woodwork.
“What crazy ideas are you formulating, Melena?” Gideon asked.
“Oh, just thinking that perhaps if Morago, Filletto, and the count knew that I was a Mahalan, then maybe they would let me in on their plans to destroy the circle, and we could stop them.”
“Absolutely not. They would finish the job and kill you,” Chance stated firmly and the others added their concerns.
Or perhaps, he would try to mate you himself and take over everything that belongs to the Mahalan name,” Edric added with his arms crossed as he glared at Melena. He looked her body over and she seemed to understand his line of thinking.
“Morago is going down, whether you all are willing to help me or not. Let’s get things moving. I have made a decision on the last two members of the Security Ring. I think seven is sufficient. If necessary, I can always appoint more in the future.”
“What about Donovan?” Mano asked.
“Dani said that he is all clear. Mercer was being manipulated and threatened by the count. Donovan still has my vote.”
“And the last two?” Mano asked.
“Their identities will remain hidden for now. Let’s see if we can let out the information that Kamea Mahalan is indeed alive.”
* * * *
Mano sat in the chair watching Melena as she worked. She was lovelier than any woman he had ever seen. Did he think that because she was his mate, or was it because she was a Polynesian goddess? He wasn’t certain, but he did feel differently inside. His wolf wasn’t quite at peace. It was on guard, wanting to protect what was his. He had thought his mate was gone forever. He never expected for her to emerge from the dead, but Melena did, as far as he was concerned. She had been taken away from him, by evil, disloyal wolves who deserved to suffer. He thanked the gods as he inhaled, her scent calming his wolf and enticing it at the same time. She looked up toward him and smiled.
“You’re staring at me again, Mano. I can’t possibly concentrate when you do that.”
He stood up and walked closer to her. Leaning down, he whispered in her ear as he absorbed her scent.
“You are exquisite, and I can’t keep my eyes off of you.”
She tilted her head up and kissed his lips. That kiss grew deeper and soon he was kneeling on the floor between her legs and embracing her.
She opened for him, giving his hands access to her thighs as he caressed under her skirt. They battled for control over the kiss until they were both breathing heavy.
“I want you.”
“I want you, too, but anyone could walk in, including Cullen.”
“I don’t really care and if Cullen has any sense at all, he would knock before he enters.”
Mano pulled her hips toward him causing her to fall backward and spread her thighs wider.
He made quick use of his fingers, divesting her of her panties before pressing fingers to her pussy.
“Oh, Mano.” She held on to the arms of the chair and thrust her hips against his fingers.
“You’re wet and ready for me, mate.”
“Always.”
She nodded her head and he smiled as he undid his pants then lifted her up off of the chair. He sat down in it, and she straddled his waist, taking his cock between her wet folds as she gasped.
“Fuck yeah. Ride me, Melena. Show me how turned on you are.”
She lifted then lowered her pussy in slow even strokes. He used his large hands to squeeze her ass and spread the cheeks. Stroking fingers back and forth across the tight bud seemed to make her move faster and ride his cock with vigor. The sounds of her moans of pleasure fed his wolf’s ego and he wanted every part of her. All of her forever.
It was torture to not touch every inch of her as he undid the buttons on her blouse and played with her breasts. He leaned forward to lick the tip and taste her delicious skin.
“Oh, that feels so nice.”
“Ride him.”
Mano smiled as Melena gasped in shock as Chordeo joined them in the room. She hadn’t heard the door open or noticed his entry but now Chordeo was behind her and Mano knew what he had in mind.
“I want you, too. Will you let me?”
“Oh God, yes. Please, I feel so tight and needy.”
“Did you find lube? Don’t hurt her when you fuck her ass,” Mano said to Chordeo through their mind link.
“My ass? Oh my God, this is crazy. Yes, do it, please.”
Mano grabbed her face between his hands.
“You heard us?”
She nodded her head as Chordeo squeezed some lube onto his fingers.
“What?” she asked in surprise.
“You heard me talking to Chordeo through our mind link. You can hear our thoughts?”
“Holy crap, yes. Yes, I thought you spoke aloud. Oh my God.” Melena was so surprised and the excitement in her voice, in her facial expression, brought Mano such joy.
Mano smiled as he pulled her down closer so he could kiss her deeply.
He felt her body jerk then tighten and he knew that his brother was pushing his fingers into her ass and getting her ready for his cock.
He released her lips.
“Oh God, Mano, it burns,” she said then began to ride Mano faster. Up and down, she sped up until Chordeo pulled his fingers from her ass.
“I want in, baby. You look so fucking beautiful.”
Mano held her gaze as Chordeo gently pushed her lower.
“Nice and easy, baby. Let him in and we’ll both make love to you together,” Mano whispered and she hugged him as she breathed softly against his shoulder and ear.
“Fuck, she’s tight and hot. Oh yeah, baby, you make me so happy,” Chordeo said. Then Mano heard her gasp and he knew that Chordeo was all the way in.
“Nice and slow. Lift up, so I can see these pretty plump breasts of yours, baby.”
She slowly rose, eyes closed and then Mano lifted her up then pressed her back down. Chordeo pulled back then slowly pressed in. They moved slowly until Melena adjusted to the fact that two men had their cocks deep inside of her. She gripped Mano’s shoulders. He felt her nails.
“Easy, baby, you’re doing so good. You feel so fucking amazing.”
“I need you two to move. It’s so crazy but I need more. Please give it to me harder.”
Mano smiled then winked over her shoulder at Chordeo.
They began to increase their thrusts until neither one of them could control their desire to claim her like this. She was their mate, their lover, their goddess, and they needed to fulfill the need burning inside of them.
Melena moaned and thrust between them until finally their strokes became wild and uneven and she screamed her release. Mano and Chordeo followed suit.
“Ours. Always and forever.”

Dani and her men joined Melena, Edric, Chance, and Gideon in the study. In their investigation they helped to interrogate the wolves who attacked them at the apartment complex and ultimately figured out what the secret society was.
“It appears that this information you found out about Melena, at the warehouse was a secret meeting of the TAMW. These men that we questioned said it was an organization created by Morago to ultimately build an army of were against the circle,” Dani said.
“Son of a bitch,” Gideon stated.
“The letters stand for Tactical Assault, Modern Were. According to these men who ratted Morago out, TAMW was established ten years ago
then put on hold when the government tried to intervene in the attack on a member of the circle, Lord Crespin. In doing so, Morago retaliated in anger and went after the Mahalan family,” Van told them. Everyone looked at Melena.
“I knew that he was responsible. If he had killed me along with the rest of my family, the circle would be in jeopardy,” Melena said.
“With this information and what we are learning from these rogue wolves who turned, we already informed the higher-ups and alerts have been sent out to all elders of the circle,” Miele said.
“Are you tracking Morago?” Melena asked.
“Yes. He is under surveillance now. We have men collecting the evidence, securing the testimonies of witnesses so we can bring Morago, Filletto, and the count before the elders for their punishments,” Dani stated.
“They will live?”
Everyone looked at her and she knew they could see her anger and dissatisfaction.
“They have the final say, Melena. But now you can complete your recommendation for the Security Ring and place those members into their positions. The circle will be safe because of you,” Van added.
“What can we do to assist in getting this arrest moving? I want Melena safe, and until Morago, Filletto, and the count are behind bars, that’s not going to happen. He could still get his hands on the Book of the Founding Fathers,” Edric stated.
“You and Chance can assist us. Melena has placed the key to the book in a secure location. I believe Julius is aware of it,” Miele said as Gideon took Melena’s hand.
“No one but Melena and her mates should know the location of that key,” Gideon stated.
“I agree. The fewer, the better,” Van said.
“I personally, would prefer Morago, the count, and Filletto to be punished for their crimes before the circle of elders and the new Security Ring. It will send a clear message that the new command in the circle of elders are stronger than ever,” Melena added.
