Tommy’s hand ran down her spine, and Natalia sighed. They would be all right now.
Chapter Ten
Jeremy waited for two days to speak to an elder. He had to wait until Tommy’s body had mostly healed. His pup was scarred and still limping slightly, but his eyes were bright, his passion returned. In fact, Jeremy had denied Tommy’s advances last night so that he could do what needed to be done today. It hadn’t gone down well with the horny pup. Jeremy was determined that the next time he took Tommy’s body, it would be as his mate, nothing less.
He stood in the middle of the meeting circle and spoke loudly, calling to the congregated community.
"I need to re-pledge my allegiance to my mates."
There was a general murmur of unease. The elders looked surprised, and one stepped closer to him.
"Why, Jeremy? Are you not happy with your choice of Natalia?"
Jeremy shook his head to negate such a stupid assumption. He swallowed down his fear of rejection as he readied himself for the speech he had been practicing for the last two days.
He opened his arms, calling silently to Tommy and Natalia. They came to him without hesitation, and he took a hand of each.
"No, not at all. But I need to alter it. I was not honest three days ago, and I need to rectify that.”
Their pack moved to circle them once again, but there was an unnatural stillness as they all waited to see what he would say. Even his own mates seemed to be holding their breaths.
“I pledge my protection, love, and commitment to both Natalia and Tommy."
His father stepped forward, his blue eyes intense. "Both of them equally?"
Jeremy gripped the hands he held tight. He would do this no matter the consequences.
"Yes, I cannot deny it. I have claimed them both, in body as well as in my love for them. They both deserve to be seen as my mates. Especially Tommy, as I did not admit to my claim on him earlier."
He looked at his male mate and saw so much love within Tommy’s eyes that he knew he would never regret his decision to do this.
A collective gasp sounded, and an elder stepped forward and began reciting the old legend.
"The true Alpha will be strong. He will protect us.
He is of pure blood, and he will be mated to one of pure blood."
Jeremy stared at the elder in shock as he continued. He’d only ever heard that first part.
"He will bring peace to our pack, and he will claim both a male and female mate. A three part unit, a family to protect and love, ensuring our survival."
The old man fell to his knees and gazed up at Jeremy.
"Our Alpha."
Jeremy stood, stunned. Was that really what had been needed? The one thing he had feared and thought would get them banished from the pack?
Several men now dropped to their knees, and as such, so did most of the pack.
Tommy and Natalia began to drop, but Jeremy held them tightly, pulling them into the circle of his arms.
“Please stand. All of you. I understand what needs to be done, and I look forward to bringing our pack through this sad time and reuniting us all.”
The people of his pack slowly stood, and Jeremy’s mind began to race. This was what he had done for a job. Worked with the local council organizing education, housing, money for local communities. Already his brain began to think about ways to raise money, roads that needed fixing. There was so much to do, yet he had time. He wasn’t going anywhere.
“But first, I need to take my mates home. I have much to make up for, to both of them.”
The oldest of the elders nodded his head.
“Of course, Alpha. We will see you tomorrow.”
Jeremy looked down at his two mates, blushes staining both of their cheeks.
“Why are you both so red?”
Natalia cuddled in closer, hiding her face in his chest.
Tommy smiled and went up on his toes, kissing Jeremy gently on the lips in full view of the entire pack.
“Thank you.”
Jeremy winked at him and stepped back towards the forest. He had only done what he needed to do. They deserved nothing less.
“Let’s go. We have a honeymoon to start.”
He tugged on the hands he held once again, and they followed him. Jeremy felt the love radiating off both Natalia and Tommy as though it were heat off a burning ember.
“I love you both. You know that now?”
Tommy nodded, and Natalia let go of his hand, running up the steps to their home and throwing open the door.
“Well, come show us then.”
Jeremy laughed, grabbed Tommy and lifted the pup up into his arms.
“Jeremy!” Tommy laughed and wrapped his arms around Jeremy’s neck.
The weight and warmth of Tommy was something he would cherish forever.
Jeremy climbed the steps and stepped over the threshold, kissing Tommy deeply before putting him back on his feet.
“I love you,” he said, cupping Tommy’s jaw and staring into his green eyes.
Tommy smiled and nodded. “I love you, too, Jeremy.”
Jeremy pulled Tommy against him, grinding his erection into Tommy’s belly and plunging his tongue into Tommy’s warm mouth.
“Boys?”
Natalia’s sultry tease had them both turning. She was naked and standing in the middle of the room, hands on hips, breasts jutting forward.
“Can I have some of the love, too?”
Jeremy ran at her and scooped her up into his arms. She squealed and grabbed him.
Jeremy kissed her deep, tasting her lips, her tongue, the inside of her mouth.
“I love you, Natalia.” He repeated his vow and saw the understanding and love mirrored in his mate’s silver-blue eyes.
“I love you, Jeremy. Not because I am meant to, but because I honestly do.”
Jeremy growled and threw her, carefully, onto their bed.
He ripped off his clothes and watched as a naked Tommy crawled onto the bed next to Natalia. She turned towards him and pushed him back, rolling on top of him.
Jeremy loved watching them together, Natalia’s lithe, curved body moving on Tommy, Tommy’s cock pressing up, straining against Natalia’s ass.
She leant forward and kissed Tommy, and Jeremy moved between Tommy’s knees.
Natalia’s body was open, her pussy pink and swollen with her need for them.
Jeremy bent forward and opened her up with his hands on her thighs, running his tongue along her slit and tasting her sweetness.
“Oh my God! Yes, Jeremy!”
He heard Natalia’s words and moans of pleasure and began sucking on her clit. She jerked and moaned again.
Jeremy moved his hand to Tommy’s straining cock and began stroking the hard flesh.
“Sit on Tommy’s face, Natalia. I want to suck Tommy’s cock.”
“Yes, fuck yes.” Tommy grabbed Natalia around the waist and pulled her up his body.
Natalia gripped the bed-head and moved so that she was in position. Jeremy saw her beautiful ass and groaned loudly. He would never get enough of these two.
He looked down at Tommy’s cock and the pre-cum glistening in the tip. He swiped it with his tongue, swallowing his mate’s taste. A muffled groan came from Tommy, and Natalia began to thrash.
“Oh, Tommy. Yes. Oh my God, I’m going to come too soon.”
Jeremy sucked the head of Tommy’s cock into his mouth and licked the underside of the stiff flesh.
He looked up and saw the trembling in Natalia’s body, Tommy gripping her around the waist hard.
“Come, Natalia. Don’t stop, Tommy.”
Tommy began thrusting his hips up, and Jeremy sucked as much as he could into his mouth. It was the first cock he had ever had in his mouth and would probably be the last.
He found it arousing but strange. He would learn to get better at it with time.
A keening cry from Natalia sounded, and Jeremy looked up to watch her throw her head back and shudder
over Tommy’s face.
Jeremy moved forwards and pulled her back into his arms, enjoying the small tremors still shaking her muscles and the sheen of sweat covering her face.
He cupped her breasts and squeezed her nipples. She moaned and shuddered.
Tommy sat up, his face wet from Natalia’s orgasm, his eyes wild with lust.
“How do you want me, Jeremy?”
Jeremy stood up, Natalia still in his arms. “I want your ass here, Tommy. We’re both going to have you tonight.” Jeremy patted the edge of the bed, and Natalia looked up at him, confused.
“Sweetie, get the lube.”
Natalia nodded and moved to the bathroom.
Tommy shuffled awkwardly over to where Jeremy wanted him, his eyebrows drawn together in a frown.
“I don’t understand, Jeremy.”
Jeremy smiled and pushed Tommy’s legs open, bending them so that it would be comfortable for his mate.
“Natalia and I are both going to love you. I’m going to fuck you…” Jeremy pushed a fingertip into Tommy’s tight body, and he arched up. “Natalia is going to ride you.”
Natalia climbed onto the bed and handed Jeremy the lube.
“I like this idea.”
She swung her leg over Tommy’s waist once again and lifted up, her aroused scent heavy in the air.
Jeremy looked over her shoulder and down onto his mate. “You can handle this?”
Tommy grinned, his beautiful young face lighting up with mischief.
“I can handle anything.”
He gripped Natalia’s waist and positioned her over his cock, thrusting up into her pussy with one stroke.
Tommy and Natalia groaned, and Jeremy’s own belly tightened to breaking point. He would never have considered himself a voyeur, but watching these two gave him untold pleasure.
He poured lube onto his fingers with shaking hands, anticipation making him unsteady.
“Hurry, Jeremy, please.”
Tommy’s strained voice pushed Jeremy forward. He spread the lube over his own cock, then thrust two fingers up into Tommy’s body.
“Ah, fuck, hurry, I’m going to explode.”
Jeremy lined up his cock and pulled his fingers out.
“Move, Natalia.”
With a small cry, she began to move up and down, Tommy’s cock moving in and out of her pussy.
Tommy groaned, and Jeremy pushed in, pausing when he felt Tommy still, then moving farther and farther in.
His mate’s hot body closed around him, gripping him in the most intimate caress.
“Oh, God, you feel so good.” Jeremy gripped Tommy’s bent knees and arched his back, thrust balls deep into his mate’s body.
Tommy roared and began to shake.
“Fuck me! Quick!”
Jeremy pulled back and thrust back in, Natalia leaning back so that her spine was pressed against Jeremy’s chest.
She moved faster, and Jeremy picked up his pace, thrusting in and out.
“I’m coming! Oh fuck!” Tommy howled, his body tightening unbearably, and then he came.
Jeremy heard Natalia’s own moan as she was flooded with Tommy’s seed. Tommy’s ass spasmed in time with his orgasm, the muscles milking Jeremy so tight, spots started to form at the edge of his vision.
He reached around Natalia and rubbed her clit fast.
“Come, baby girl.” Natalia screamed and leaned back, moving hard on Tommy until she cried out also.
Now that his mates were satisfied, Jeremy let go of control and thrust with abandon. His balls tightening, he gripped Natalia to him as he came deep inside Tommy’s body.
Jeremy growled, his tiger a part of him now, but not trying to take control. He pumped his life essence into his mate.
He pulled out and collapsed on to the bed.
“Oh my God, that was incredible.”
He couldn’t catch his breath because his heart was still beating too fast, spasms of pleasure still firing along his nerve pathways.
Natalia slid off Tommy with a gasp and slid down over him, nestling into his side. The smell of sex, sweat, and their mingled fluids surrounded them as Tommy rolled into Jeremy, too.
Jeremy lifted his arms over their heads and pulled them into his chest.
He was the Alpha of his pack. He had the love and commitment of his two rightful mates, and his pack accepted them.
Life truly was perfect.
Epilogue
Three Months Later
Natalia skipped on her way through the forest back to their house. Her heart was light, her happiness unsurpassed. Everything in the town was getting better with every passing day. Jeremy had found a good job within the city council an hour away, but he had also changed things dramatically within their community.
He had set up better education opportunities for those leaving high school and had begun a community rebuilding for some of the homes. He was a born leader, and she was so proud to be one of his mates.
She stopped on their front step and smiled up at the house Tommy had extended for them. They had so much room around them she could have a dozen children, and he would continue to build.
The thought made her smile, and she rubbed her belly. She couldn’t wait to share her news with Ariana, the Flock Alpha’s mate.
By chance, she had met Ariana, closely followed by Chase and Ben a few days after the fight. Now that they knew for certain that she hadn’t killed Damian, they were now good friends. Communications between the shifters of the land and air had never been better. Again, that had been mostly because of Jeremy’s skill in peace-making.
Natalia walked up the steps and pushed open the door. Her men were in the bedroom chatting, and she stood in their new living area that Tommy had built off their bedroom, gazing at her mates.
When they finally turned to her with identical smiles she couldn’t hold her news inside any longer. “I’m pregnant.”
Her men looked at her, then at each other.
Jeremy cleared his throat. “When?”
Natalie smiled and cupped her gently rounded belly. She had thought she had been happy when they finally bonded properly. Well today she was even happier.
“In about six months. I think I got pregnant that first night we were together.”
Her mates looked at each other again and walked over.
Jeremy swung her up into his arms and kissed her, walked over to the bed, then put her gently down in the centre.
Her men surrounded her, their heat and love radiating off them making her dizzy.
“I wonder what sort of shifter it will be.” Tommy said quietly, stroking a hand over her belly with reverence.
She knew the question meant to confer that her two mates wondered who had fathered their baby, so she shrugged.
“I don’t care. Cub or pup. I want a couple of each.”
Jeremy nodded and bent to kiss her belly.
“This one will be a tiger, but they will be ours.” He looked directly at Tommy, who nodded.
“Yes, no matter what.”
Natalia settled back into the bed and watched her men kiss each other before they descended on her body.
Together they were stronger; together they were happy. She was the wife of their Alpha and the partner of the Alpha’s mate.
Jeremy was their pack’s Alpha, their leader. But to her and Tommy he would always be Jeremy. The man who left the life he had created to come home and begin a new life with them.
A man, a tiger, an Alpha. One to love, forever.
