Hunters of the Gods_Protecting Their Heir

  Puello watched as Ross kissed Alyssa after licking and healing the marking on her shoulder. They had decided that it was one of the best ways to protect her and help ease her mind to their commitment to her. It was before they knew she was Fae and wolf. They were guided by the gods, and tonight they would seal their fate with her, as well as announce to the world that the Keuric pack future Alphas had a mate and she bore a child, a male, already who one day would lead.

  Ross pulled out of her and made room for Puello next. Stark leaned down and kissed her shoulder. “So beautiful and giving. I haven’t even claimed you yet, and I feel in my heart that hole begin to fill up,” he said, and she smiled at him.

  “Your body is exceptional, mate. I feel instantly protective and possessive of what is ours,” Puello said and then began to caress up her soft skin on her thighs to her pussy. He kissed her inner knee and along her thigh and then up her body to her breast. He tugged on her nipple, aroused and impressed with her abundant breasts and her beauty. She licked her lips and held his gaze.

  “Take me, Puello. Make love to me. Make me yours,” she said to him, and he felt the mating musk as well as sensed the ache in her core. He raised his body above hers, allowing his thick, hard cock to tease her pussy lips.

  “Puello, please…please.” She begged for it, for him to fill her with cock, and his wolf fucking loved it. He growled low into her neck. She shivered and shook.

  “Alphas are very demanding, and you will need to put aside that stubbornness and accept our commands. My commands.”

  “Please.” She moaned and moved her hips side to side then up and down, trying to get his cock into her.

  He inhaled against her neck.

  “You are mine,” he said and slowly began to push his thick, long cock into her cunt while holding back the need to fuck and claim her wildly. His chest heaved up and down.

  “Easy, brother. The first several times we need to slowly get her used to us,” Stark said to him.

  He clenched his teeth. “So tight and hot.” He kept breathing her in, absorbing every sensation, and he lost a little more control and shoved the rest of the way in.

  She cried out and came, and he gripped her shoulders and began to thrust and stroke deep, fast into her cunt. The bed rocked, his brothers growled low, and everything hit him all at once. “Alyssa.” He said her name. She was his mate. He found his mate and would be sharing her with his brothers. She was special, his everything, and nothing else seemed to matter but having her close and protecting her and Brock.

  He thrust over and over again, and she lifted her thighs, grabbed onto his hips, and he used her shoulders as leverage to fuck her deeper and get rid of his own itch and ache.

  “More, yes, like that, oh, it’s working. I feel the power, Puello,” she said to him. His mind went numb a moment, and he lost the ability to slow down. He came with a roar and then bit into her shoulder. She gasped and gripped him tightly, and then he licked at the wound as he rocked his hips a few more times. His cock elongated. He nearly shifted inside of her. He panted and then kissed her lips. She ran her feminine hands up his arms to her shoulders then cupped his cheek.

  “Are you okay?” he asked.

  “Almost. I need Stark next. The burning lingers inside of me.”

  “We have all night to ease that ache, woman. All night.” He kissed her.

  * * * *

  Stark eased onto the bed after Puello moved. She smiled up at him, and he gave her a wink. He pulled her thighs toward his and caressed her skin, took in her beauty, and inhaled her sweet, feminine scent. Combined with his brothers’ scents, his wolf wanted in. To fuck and claim and mark her as his mate, too, yet he felt the need to cherish the moment and to truly absorb her beauty.

  She tilted her hips as she held his gaze.

  “I feel it, too. The need, the power of this bond. I’m sorry I tried pushing you three away. I hated when you left. I felt empty,” she admitted. He ran his palms along her thighs to her hips then to her breasts, cupping them. She raised her arms above her head in a show of submission. His cock grew harder.

  “We thought you were human, and that would have been fine, too. We would figure out how slow we needed to go,” he said to her and then tugged on both nipples. She closed her eyes and moaned.

  “No need for slow. I can handle it. This is my destiny,” she whispered, and he lowered over her and kissed her lips. He slid his hands along her arms and entwined his fingers with hers.

  When he lifted up to lock gazes with her, he saw her eyes change color. “Wolf after all?” he asked, and slid a little to align his cock with her cunt as he began to push into her.

  “Apparently so. There will be a lot for us to learn together. Please, Stark, I need you inside of me. I feel so—”

  He shoved into her fully and her lips parted, her hips jerked, and it was on. He thrust and stroked, and then she countered against him. He pounded into her pussy, and she lifted her thighs higher as if she needed his cock deeper. He tightened, closed his eyes, and his cock grew thicker, longer. He was able to control how much he grew, being sure to not shift inside of her. She panted and cried out another release, and then he couldn’t take it. It was overwhelming as he gripped her hips, felt his nails begin to elongate against her skin, his incisors grow, and he came inside of her and bit into her shoulder. He suckled and then licked the wound clean, and she panted and moaned.

  He eased from her cunt, kissed her everywhere his lips could reach, and her eyes fluttered closed.

  “Rest, mate. We are here to protect you. You are now a significant part of Keuric pack.”

  Chapter Five

  Galvan felt so weak. There was nothing more he could do. Each day he lost hope of escaping and being found. He didn’t understand why these men from the Polta pack were doing this. At first he thought they knew about the baby and about Alyssa. Perhaps they did. He wasn’t sure. He didn’t know if she was dead or alive or if the baby made it or was killed. It enraged him. He had so many regrets. Especially leaving her. Not telling his brothers about her out of fear of what would come against their family, their pack, who were already fighting against these rogue groups. Now he knew a little about what was happening. He glanced toward the other man, an Alpha wolf from a local pack in Louisiana that had been destroyed by the Polta pack.

  He said his wife and child were taken from him. He was beaten, they were separated, and his brothers were all killed. If he fought to save his wife and child, then they would have died, as well. The man, Lucienne, had heard that there were six or seven packs vying for control of the United States and all the packs. They wanted to destroy the Circle of Elders, the rules and regulations of the gods, and just expand and take over so that there would only be the seven packs. However, they began to fight amongst one another, and an additional unknown pack began to make some sneaky maneuvers, and in doing so started pushing the idea of creating rogue wolves, ignorant beasts that would be controlled and brainwashed and that would also force the mating and link to whomever controlled the most. Lucienne believed that the idea got out of control, and soon someone thought of not only forcing the mating bond of an Alpha woman, or Alpha mate’s woman, but also taking the child, or her ability to give birth to an Alpha, which would ensure greatness and power. It was forcing something that the gods had control over.

  That just made his fears for Alyssa and the baby grow stronger. What if she were taken? What if the baby was, and he hadn’t been there to defend them? He didn’t know any of this was going on when he left her to fight with his brothers across the land. Alyssa was human, and more than likely the baby, too. A human couldn’t rule a pack, nor could a half-breed. By the old rules, if he announced the pregnancy and bond to Alyssa, they could have all been banned from the pack for life.

  He sat up and held his head in his hands. He fucked up so badly.

  “Don’t give up, Galvan. We’ve been here for a long time. Me months, you longer. I have to believe that ther
e is more for us to do in this life. That the gods have chosen us for a reason. That we won’t break down, but instead be ready for the fight.”

  He looked at Lucienne. “I’m ready, Lucienne. I’m ready to see my mate and my child,” he whispered.

  “As I am ready to see my mate, and my son, Lionel. He will one day be leader to our pack. I know this. He is strong and capable. If Layla is still with him, then there is hope. I need to believe that they are together.”

  “I understand, and I hope our opportunity arises soon. The smell of death is great in here.”

  “As is the increased number of mutant rogue guards. Something is happening. I can feel it,” Lucienne said.

  “I feel it, too. Be ready.”

  “Side by side, my friend.”

  Galvan nodded.

  Selania Keuric was walking along the path on the border of the property. She wanted to check in on the children’s day care there. Only girls. No boys. No little ones that could take the place and continue to grow the packs. Other Alphas in line had girls. Her sons were the only hope, and they had yet to find a mate, and it wasn’t a guarantee that they would bear a son if they did find one. The option of forcing a bond to bear a male was frowned upon, but it could be the only way to ensure a continuation of the pack. Hearing about the rogue wolves and the abduction of women and children, she worried even more so.

  As she watched the children playing in the yard with toys and battery-operated vehicles, she thought about what was happening lately. About her sons and about Galvan, who still missing. As an Alpha mate, she knew that she needed to let the men be men and do her part to represent the pack on societal levels, but it was tough letting them go. She longed to see them again and hoped they were safe. She thought for sure that Puello, Ross, and Stark would have found Galvan, but then when they returned, she was just relieved to see them alive and hoped the gods knew what they were doing.

  Things were changing.

  She stayed for a while and then headed back to the main house. She took the side trail, needing some peace and quiet, but then she heard a noise. When she looked toward the trees, she saw men. They weren’t Keuric, and she followed her instincts and took off running. She heard the roars, then the alarms blaring, and when she glanced over her shoulder, four men shifted to wolves. She shifted, as well, and hurried toward the house. Immediately guards emerged from all directions, including her husbands, and then claws grabbed at her body and she tumbled to the grass. She rolled and used her momentum to turn the tables on her attacker. She knew, smelled the combined odd scents of various packs. He was rogue, and he was out to either take her or kill her.

  She wasn’t going without a fight. She would rather die here. She bit into his skin, and the wolf howled. Another joined in, and they fought her. She resisted and attacked back. Her wolf, though out of practice of battling, was still young and determined enough to fight the wolves off. She bit into one’s jugular. His howling cry echoed around them. The other swiped hard at her shoulder and arm, and she howled out but then countered with her own strike. As she fought for her life against the other two, the deep, angry growl of her Alpha, Jordan, filled the air, and he sprung over her and onto the other two wolves. Korkak and Lucca followed, killing who remained. She lowered her chest to the ground and breathed, and whimpering as her shoulder bled, and then her wolves were there, comforting her.

  “Shift, mate. Shift to heal,” Korkak ordered. She whimpered, trying to gain the strength she needed to shift. As she did, she knew the rest of the guards were surrounding them, and that she was safe once again, but one look at her Alphas, at their angry faces and disgust and worry, and she knew that the danger was now on their doorstep. Where were her sons?

  Jordan, Korkak, and Lucca shifted back to their human forms, and Jordan lifted her up into his arms.

  “Get on top of this situation now. Secure the perimeter all around. Put everyone on high alert. These rogues want a war. They got one,” he said and carried her back to the house. He nuzzled against her hair.

  “Are you okay, Selania?” he whispered.

  “Now I am.” His chest heaved up and down, and she could feel his heart racing.

  “You will not go anywhere without one of us or without security. The meeting with the elders is soon, and good timing, because I am going to issue the development of an army and take out the leaders of these rogue wolves. Decisions need to be made. Our sons need to take action, too.”

  “Don’t send them away again.”

  “I didn’t send them away. They are Hunters of the Gods, and they will get their orders. My concern right now is you. Are you in pain?” he asked.

  “A little. I’ll be just fine.” She hugged him tight as they entered the house, and the omegas and helpers bowed and waited for her Alpha’s orders.

  He carried her into the bedroom and gently placed her onto the bed. She stared at him and felt exhausted.

  “How is she?” Korkak asked as he and Lucca joined them on the bed.

  “I’m fine. I’m just exhausted.”

  “Of course you are. You were fighting off four rogue wolves on your own. You’re lucky they didn’t kill you,” Lucca snapped and then paced by the side of the bed.

  “Lucca, if they wanted me dead, then I would be dead. They were going to take me. I wasn’t accepting that.”

  Korkak exhaled. He pointed at her. “You will go nowhere alone. Not even on the property. Understood?” he commanded. She nodded her head.

  “Just come here please. I need you three close to me. Please,” she said, and they gathered around her, kissed her, caressed her body, and she breathed in their scents. Her wolf began to calm, and then the pain and aches kicked in. She moaned as Jordan was pressed over her left side.

  “A hot bath, and rest. We need to take care of some things immediately,” he said to her as he got up. She cringed.

  Korkak brushed her lower lip with his thumb. “You rest. Thank the gods you remembered how to fight.”

  “Oh really, did you think I had forgotten?” she asked him.

  “No way. You were always challenging anyone who would dare mess with your moves. In fact, I recall the night you challenged us when we caught your scent. That led to a lot of rolling around, and marking you our woman,” Lucca teased and winked.

  “Maybe later we can reminisce?” she said, and they chuckled.

  “You will be resting,” Jordan commanded, and she could tell he was still on edge and angry. There would be hell to pay, and the guards would be in big trouble, too. How in the world did those rogues get so close? How?

  * * * *

  Alyssa awoke, feeling the cocoon of warmth around her body. She was pressed up against Puello’s chest, her ass snug against Stark’s belly and cock, and Ross was partially between her legs, his cheek against her thigh and bare ass. They definitely liked to cuddle close and she didn’t mind one bit. She had been so lonely, so sad for far too long. She moved slightly. Ross adjusted his body, licked her thigh, and she raised it higher against Puello’s thigh. Stark moved next, leaned over her back, and kissed her shoulder. She felt that burning need in her core again, and then felt the tongue lick right up into her cunt.

  “Ohh.” She moaned, and they adjusted her to their liking, but she had a different plan. As Puello went to pull her up, she slid lower, kissing his belly and a pathway to his cock as Ross lifted her hips and stimulated her cunt with tongue and fingers.

  “So sexy and responsive. Look at this ass,” Stark said, sitting up and massaging one ass cheek just as Ross’s fingers thrust a little faster into her cunt from behind. She rocked her hips, spread her thighs, and then took Puello’s cock into her mouth. That burning need intensified, and she sucked up and down and then pushed back onto Ross’s fingers.

  “More,” Ross said, and Puello moaned.

  “Mate, your mouth is amazing. I won’t mind waking up every morning to you one bit at all,” he said, and Stark chuckled.

  “I think she�
��ll be in bed a lot,” he said, and then Ross pulled his fingers from her cunt, pressed up behind her, and thrust his cock right into her pussy from behind. She moaned against Puello’s cock.

  “Oh fuck, yeah. Yeah, baby, let go. Widen those thighs and let us mark you like we did all night long,” Puello said, and she reacted. Her pussy clenched, and Ross reacted, too. He thrust and thrust into her so fast, so deep, and then growled out as he came inside of her. His mouth went to her shoulder, but he didn’t bite. He nipped and tickled her, and then Puello grabbed her hair.

  “I’m there. I’m fucking there,” he said, and she gripped his hips and suckled hard, making him come just as Ross pulled out and Stark took his place. He stroked into her from behind, and she moaned and then pulled her mouth from Puello’s cock after licking him clean.

  “So perfect. I can’t wait to fuck this ass,” Stark said and then spanked her ass several times, making her cry out her release. He followed, growled against her neck, and then pulled out of her, wrapped his arm around her waist, and hoisted her onto her back. He covered her body, shocking her with his strength, his quickness, and his expression.

  “Never letting you go, mate. Never.” He kissed her tenderly.

  * * * *

  “You need to come with us and Brock, too. You will need protection. Word will get out about our mating, and then that’s it. They will come after you and Brock,” Puello said to her after he got a call from one of his fathers.
