Two moans of ecstasy answered him. He smiled at how his mates were so lost in their pleasure that all thoughts except what was happening to their bodies seemed to have left them. Raith pressed forward slowly. His body shook and a sweat broke out across his brow at the control he was trying to hold. The sensation was too much. His mate’s hole was so tight and Aaron’s slicked up cock sliding against his was sending him to the edge too soon. He clenched his jaw so hard he thought he would break a tooth. Rory released a hiss and Raith thought he would die right there if he had to pull out. He stilled. “Are you okay, baby boy?”
Rory was breathless. The feel of both his mates inside him was too much, too good. Then there was a moment of pain as Raith slid deeper. He hissed at the intrusion and Raith stilled. He heard him ask if he was okay. He couldn’t find his voice. He took a deep breath. “Yes…please…don’t stop,” he said in a strained voice.
Aaron wrapped his arms around Rory and held him tight as Raith pressed forward. All three moaned when Raith hit bottom and slid against Rory’s prostate. Raith stilled at the sensation. He held his breath trying to hold off the orgasm that was threatening to explode too soon. Then he saw stars as Rory squeezed his muscles around the two cocks stretching him.
“Damn, baby boy! If you keep that up I’ll be coming sooner than any of us want,” Raith said through gritted teeth. Raith took in a deep breath and then slide back until just the tip remained inside his mate. Aaron and Rory both moaned at the move. Raith felt like a god. He was pleasing both his mates at the same time. He slowly slid back in and met Aaron’s gaze over Rory’s shoulder. Aaron raised a brow in question and Raith nodded his approval. They both started to pump their hips. As Raith pulled out, Aaron pushed in. Rory held still as they continued their in and out strokes. The cutest moans, groans, and whimpers came from him. He started to pant faster as their tempo picked up. “Oh…yes…I…oh…so good…so…so…good,” he panted out.
Raith slid his hands under Rory’s arms and grabbed onto his shoulders as he continued to pump into his mate. He pulled down on Rory’s shoulders, causing Rory’s body to slam back on his shaft as he snapped his hips forward. The sensation causing them all to yell out. “Now, Aaron!” Raith said as he leaned his body against Rory’s back. “Now, sweetheart. Let’s claim our mate.” Aaron licked the right side of Rory’s neck as Raith licked the left. Both their teeth extended and they struck simultaneously.
Suddenly they were thrown back into that field. But this time Rory was there, too. They all stood facing each other in a circle, holding hands. A bright light spread around them, engulfing them. A golden rope wove around the three of them as they were pulled against each other. But this time there was no loose end in the rope. It was all connected. As their three bodies touched, a bright light exploded around them and consumed them. Suddenly they were back in their bed.
Rory screamed out both their names as he shot his cum between his and Aaron’s stomachs. The sensation was like nothing he’d ever felt before. He was floating. His head spun and his body seemed totally weightless. It was as if his soul shattered into pieces and raced out of him, causing his breath to catch. But then he felt an incredible force slam into his body and he felt both his mates. He could feel what they felt. Then he felt the heat of both his mate’s releasing their seed inside him. Both his mates stilled as the last reams of their cum shot into him. They all held their breath and then both his mates pulled back from his neck and both licked him where they bit. Rory never felt so good, so loved, so safe in his life. Tears stung the backs of his eyes and all he wanted to do was to cry out his happiness, but he didn’t want to freak out his mates.
Raith was the first to recover. He kissed Rory’s neck where he bit him and then gently slid his cock out. He sat back on his heels and grabbed Rory around the waist, helping to lift him off Aaron as Aaron’s now-soft cock slipped out. Raith helped Rory to roll to his side and cuddle up to Aaron. Both his men looked so cute as they wrapped around each other as they lost the fight with their heavy eyelids. Raith smiled warmly at the vision in front of him. He never knew life could be this good.
He slowly rolled off the bed and went to the bathroom to wash up. He returned a few minutes later to the sounds of both his mates’ small snores. He gently washed Rory’s overused hole and wiped down his stomach. Then he applied a soothing balm to his sore bottom. Raith kissed both of Rory’s ass cheeks before moving on to Aaron. He wiped his stomach and then cleaned his soft cock. “Thank you, love.” Raith heard a soft whisper. He looked up and met Aaron’s half lidded eyes. Aaron gave him a soft smile and an air kiss. Raith smiled back at his tired mate, then leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on the tip of his cock. Aaron moaned softly and Raith saw that he was asleep again.
Raith threw the soiled cloths in the hamper and stretched out on Rory’s other side, snuggling up behind him, wrapping an arm over Rory and resting his hand on Aaron’s hip. He closed his eyes and sighed in contentment as he let sleep claim him.

Whir! Whir! Whir! Whir! Whir! Raith jumped up from a sound sleep at the sound of the house alarm going off, warning them of an intrusion. Both his mates jumped from the sound as well and sat up quickly. “What is that?” Rory asked nervously.
Aaron wrapped an arm around him, drawing Rory against him. “Do you think it’s rogues again?” Aaron asked Raith.
Raith was already out of the bed and jamming his legs into his jeans. “I don’t know, sweetheart. But I need you and Rory to get dressed quickly,” Raith said as he zipped his pants and shoved his feet into his boots. Aaron and Rory climbed off the bed and dressed fast. Raith grabbed Rory’s hand as Aaron grabbed the other and the three stepped out into the hall. They bumped into Xander as he was racing down the hall. “Do we know what set the alarm off, Xander?” Raith asked, jumping right into his Beta role.
“Someone’s shooting at the house, Beta,” Xander said as he raced toward the stairs.
Raith stopped both his mates and directed them toward the other end of the hall.
“Wait, Raith, where are we going?” Aaron asked as he tried to keep up with Raith’s fast pace.
“To the Alpha’s room. There’s a safe room there,” Raith answered as he pulled them to Micah’s room. The door swung open as they approached. Micah was standing there.
“Come, you two. Jesse and Raffy are already in the safe room. Raith, secure your mates and meet us downstairs,” Micah said as he ran past them.
Raith rushed his two mates through Micah’s suit and stopped at the glowing fireplace. He grabbed the poker and stuck it into the fire. It jammed into a hole in the bottom stone and the fireplace swung open. Raith pulled the poker out of the fire and replaced it. “Okay you two, in you go. Soon as you're in, I’ll close the door. Go to the end of the hall. There’s a door there. Aaron, place your thumb over the pad and the door will open. When you get in, just close the door behind you,” Raith explained.
“But how…?” Aaron asked in confusion.
“When you came here, Micah put your fingerprint in the security system just in case. Please, sweetheart, just get you and Rory to safety.” He kissed each of his mates quickly and stepped away. Aaron pulled Rory with him into the hidden hall and they turned to look at Raith.
“Please be careful, Raith,” Aaron whispered. He had fear in his eyes.
“I will, sweetheart. Now go.” Raith pushed on the brick of the fireplace and it swung back into place seamlessly. Once he heard the click of the lock he turned and bolted out of the room.

Raith ran out the kitchen door to the backyard. Micah was standing there about fifty yards away looking out into the tree line. Raith stopped next to him. “What is it, Alpha?”
“There’s a man in the woods. Lexi and Xavier picked up his scent. The enforcers are tracking him now,” Micah explained, not taking his eyes off the tree line.
“A human?” Raith asked in surprise. There were very few humans here in Sanctuary, and those who we
re here were pack. They were mated to the shifters that lived here. The only other humans to ever come to Sanctuary were the ones that went to the club or to do shopping in some of the stores during the day, but never out this far. Dare stepped up next to Raith.
“Is there anything I can do?” he asked. “I can shift and fly above. My night vision is exceptional.”
“Although that would be a sight to see, I don’t think it’s a good idea to have a dragon flying around Pennsylvania. Even if you were only spotted by my pack members, I think that would freak them out. Thanks for the offer though,” Micah said with amusement in his voice. Dare grunted his agreement. “So where is Ryland?” Micah asked.
“He stayed in the upstairs hall outside your bedchamber to guard over the weaker members in case there was a breach of the house,” Dare explained.
“Don’t let Jesse or Aaron hear you call them weak. They’ll kick your ass.” Raith snickered.
Micah laughed. “Ain’t that the truth.”
Dare gave them a sideways glance then looked back into the tree line. “That’ll never happen. I’m much bigger and stronger than either of them,” he said in annoyance.
“Yes, but they’re both mates to the leaders of this pack. Let’s just say you will definitely lose,” Micah said with a mischievous grin.
“Your wolves return,” Dare stated, ignoring Micah’s words.
“Yeah, I know,” Micah answered.
“How? I know your wolf eyes are good but not as good as my dragon sight. Your wolves are still miles out,” Dare questioned.
“Pack link. They already told me they lost his scent as he crossed a stream. He was definitely a human though,” Micah said.
“Lexi’s back,” Raith said and looked to the right. Lexi stepped out of the tree line to their right. He was in human form and was carrying something.
He stepped up to them and held out his hand to Micah. “This was back there in the woods,” Lexi said as he nudged his chin in the direction he had come from. He handed a black band with a white tag on it over to Micah. Micah took the band and ripped the tag off it. It was a piece of paper folded up. Micah opened it and read the note. He grunted and looked to Raith.
“What is it, Micah?” he asked.
“I think this is for you,” Micah said and handed the note over to Raith. He took the note from Micah and started to read.
You took what belongs to me. Return my property now and nobody gets hurt. Keep Rory away from me and you won’t believe the world of pain and trouble that will come down upon your head. Your big, fancy house and all your money won’t be able to save you. I will get Rory back at any cost. I’m watching you. I know all about you. Give him back or suffer the consequences. The next bullet will be through your skull.
Raith folded the note and breathed out heavily. His eyes met Micah’s. “I’m sorry, Alpha. I’ll take care of this right now.” Raith said angrily and turned away crumpling the note. “Watch over my mates,” he yelled over his shoulder and disappeared around the house.
“What did it say?” Dare asked.
“Someone is after his mate,” Micah said solemnly.
“Shit. Do you want me to follow him, Alpha?” Lexi asked.
“Yes. The boys should be back any second. Take Xander with you.” Micah looked at him pointedly. “The others can patrol the perimeter,” Micah instructed.
Lexi nodded in understanding, then turned and shifted into his wolf and took off for the trees. The other wolves stepped out just as Lexi got there. One of the wolves turned back and took off with Lexi, while the others spread out and started circling the property.
“That wolf link thing you’ve got comes in pretty handy doesn’t it?” Dare asked.
Micah lips went up in a shit-eating grin. “Yes it does.” He turned toward the house and headed back inside with Dare on his heels.
They stepped into the kitchen to a commotion. Taylor was holding Aaron back as Rory cried in Jesse’s arms. Ryland stood there looking like he was lost and Raffy was nowhere to be found. “Aaron, take a chill pill, man. I know you’re worried about your mate but you need to remember, he’s a big bad wolf, and this Rambo wannabe is just a human. Raith can take this wanker with his eyes closed,” Taylor said soothingly.
“Taylor, thank you for shielding the house,” Micah said as he stepped closer to them.
“No problem, Captain.” Taylor gave Micah a salute and winked. Micah raised a brow in question. “Yeah, I didn’t like that one either, sorry. My brain may be a little scrambled from being interrupted during a fantastic orgasm.” Taylor huffed.
Micah smirked at him and shook his head. He stepped closer to Taylor and kissed his head. “Sorry, Tay. We know how much you hate that,” Micah said chuckling. “Your mate will be patrolling for a while so…” Micah trailed off shrugging his shoulder.
“So I need to go finish on my own. That’s what you’re telling me. Fine.” Taylor huffed and turned away and started to walk out of the kitchen. “But you do realize this is the definition of fucking one’s self, right? You know, when someone says go fuck yourself, I can honestly answer, been there, done that.”
Micah, Jesse, Rory, and Aaron all broke out laughing at Taylor’s disappearing back. Dare just stared after him with his eyes wide open and his jaw dropped. “He’s mental, you all know that, right? I never met anyone who just blurts out whatever is in their head like that,” Dare said.
“Don’t let him hear you say that. You’ll end up in a box at the bottom of the ocean,” Ryland said and sat at the table.
“Can we get back to Raith please?” Aaron asked. Rory moved away from Jesse and went to Aaron. Aaron wrapped his arms around him and held him close. “He spoke to us in the link and told us to stay here. He said there was someone he needed to take care of. What’s going on, Micah?” Aaron asked.
Micah sighed and ran a hand through his hair, then met Aaron’s eyes. “He went after the human. The one who knows Rory,” Micah explained gently.
Rory’s eyes went as big as saucers. “Ma…Tom did this?” He caught himself.
“It appears that way. He wants you back and he’s trying to scare us into giving you to him,” Micah explained.
Rory started to tremble. Aaron tightened his hold on his mate. “Hey, that’s not going to happen, okay? You’re not going back to him, ever,” Aaron said with conviction. “You’re mine and Raith’s now. You belong right here with us.” Aaron kissed his head.
“But, I don’t want Raith or you, or any of you to get hurt because of me,” Rory cried.
“Raith will be fine, Rory. He’s a professional. He knows what he’s doing. He will do whatever he has to to make sure you’re safe,” Micah said.
“That’s what scares me. Tom is a lot better at what he does than he looks. He’s a police officer. He’s a sharp shooter. He goes deep undercover with some of the worst of the worst. And he has a lot of connections. Both legal and illegal.” Rory explained and pulled away from Aaron. “I should just go back to him so he doesn’t hurt any of you.” He started to turn away, but Aaron grabbed his arm and swung him back around. Meeting his eyes.
“Don’t you dare,” he said with heat in his voice. “You’re never going back there, baby boy. Raith and I won’t let you go. So stop saying that you want to leave us.” Aaron paused and studied Rory’s face. “Unless that’s what you want,” he said with pain and confusion in his voice.
“No, Aaron, no. I don’t want to go back there. I want to stay here with you. With both of you. But…” Aaron stopped him by putting a finger over his lips.
“Then don’t ever say that again. You’re right where you belong.” Aaron wrapped his arms around Rory again. “Our big mate is strong and smart. He knows what he’s doing. He’ll take care of this and he’ll come back to us. I know it.” Aaron met Micah’s eyes over Rory’s head. Micah nodded his agreement. “Come on, baby. Let’s go back to our room and wait for Raith there.” Aaron led Rory out of the room.
Jesse walked up to Micah a
nd pressed his body to Micah’s side as he wrapped his arms around Micah’s waist. “Raith will be okay right?” Jesse asked in concern.
Micah leaned down and kissed Jesse’s head. “Yes, baby. Raith will be fine. I also sent Lexi and Xander to follow him just in case.”
“Do you think this human will cause more trouble?” Ryland asked.
“Yes, I do. I don’t think he’s going to give Rory up that easily. Men like him need to feel big and tough by forcing others to cower at their feet. I don’t think we’ve seen the last of him,” Micah said.
* * * *
“Oh my gods! What happened?” Aaron said in a panic as Lexi and Xander carried a bloody Raith into the clinic at the pack house. They laid him down on the hospital bed there and stepped back. Aaron quickly started to assess his body. He was covered in blood from head to toe. His clothes were all ripped to shreds and falling off him. His body was covered in cuts and bruises and what looked like shrapnel. Aaron hovered his hands over Raith’s body, afraid to touch him. Tears started to roll down his cheek. “I said, what happened?”
Micah came rushing in with Jesse. He stopped short when he saw Raith. “What happened?”
“He walked up to the guy’s house and knocked on the door. Suddenly there was a huge explosion and he got thrown back as all kinds of shit from the house shot into him. The house just blew to bits, Alpha. He didn’t even get a chance to do or say anything,” Lexi explained.
“We were across the street keeping an eye on him when it just blew. The force of it blew him clear across the street at us. We shifted and grabbed him, getting him out of there as fast as we could. The neighbors started to come out of their homes so we dragged him into the woods. We heard the sirens as we left,” Xander said.
