“Yeah,” Dusty said with some relish. “He’s finally dead. And the traitor has been eliminated.”
She sighed as the hot water soothed tight muscles. Her thigh twitched a little. Yep, she’d definitely overused it tonight.
“At least no one from Shadowpeak was seriously injured,” Cain said, joining her in the tub. Brynn climbed in after him. “But I’m not sure how Cooper felt about Leonard’s pack turning to him as their Alpha.”
She chuckled. “It’s going to take awhile to sort this shit out.”
When the Silverton pack had realized the Shadowpeak wolves were there to challenge Leonard, many had stood back or actually thrown themselves behind Cooper and the others, helping them.
“Apparently they’d wanted to get rid of Leonard as Alpha for a while, but his enforcers had them so scared they couldn’t make a move against him,” Cain explained.
“He died like the coward he was,” Brynn drawled. “Trying to escape. Didn’t take much for Cooper to end his miserable existence.”
“Thank God it’s over.” Dusty yawned. “Things can only calm down from here, right?”
Brynn snorted. “You wouldn’t know what to do with calm. You’d be bored in five seconds.”
“Oh I think I could find something to fill the time.” She grinned before kissing them both. “And I’d enjoy every minute.”
Epilogue
Dusty raced through the forest, pushing herself, reveling in the feel of the trees brushing against her, the wind in her fur, the way she could hear, smell, see everything so much clearer. She pushed herself harder, ignoring the twinge in her back leg. The plate along with the disc had been removed two days ago, but this was the first time she’d been able to change and she was going to get as much out of this as she could.
She heard the other wolf before she saw him. He pounced in front of her, his black fur almost blending into the night. He stood, blocking her path. She dodged around him, letting out a little yip of delight.
He nudged her with his head as she passed him. Then he gave chase. He gained easily, his legs much longer than hers.
He ran beside her, pushing against her until she slowed. She snarled. She didn’t want to stop, she wanted to run until she collapsed.
He snarled back, nipping her nose in rebuke. Growling, she sat back on her haunches, the hairs on her neck rising. He did not get to boss her around. He grabbed the scuff of her neck with his teeth and shook.
It was a clear order to behave herself. He pushed at her shoulders with his head, wanting her to turn. She did, but when he walked off she quickly turned and ran.
Of course it wasn’t long until he caught her. He soon had her turned around. He stayed behind her, biting the back of her legs every so often to keep her moving. But by this time she was pleasantly tired and ready to go home. When they reached the place where they’d left their clothes, she changed form. Human again, she lay on her back, staring up at the stars. Every muscle ached. But it was a good pain.
“You were pushing yourself too hard.” Cain knelt beside her. He massaged her aching thigh.
“That was so amazing,” she breathed dreamily.
Cain chuckled. “You are amazing.”
“Well, looks like I’ve missed out. Whatever it is making you two smile like that, I want in.”
Dusty looked up and smiled happily at Brynn. He’d been away for two days now in Hell. He didn’t leave as often as he used to, but still she missed him horribly when he did. “You want to be a werewolf?”
His eyes lit up. “You changed?”
She nodded.
Swooping down with a whoop, he picked her up and swung her around. “Now that deserves a celebration.”
“Just what I was thinking,” she replied.
Grabbing Brynn’s face, she kissed him. “Strip now. I want you both.” She helped Brynn pull his clothes off. Cain stood and drew Brynn toward him and kissed the other man deep. His dark hands came around and grasped Brynn’s creamy ass, clenching tight as he rubbed his body against Brynn’s.
Dusty’s breath caught.
“That never fails to make me hot,” she breathed. Brynn and Cain reached an arm out each and pulled her into their embrace. Reaching down, she clasped both men’s cocks, one in each hand, then squeezed slightly. Brynn’s shaft was cooler and slightly smaller in circumference than Cain’s but the skin was smoother, more silken.
Kneeling, she sucked on Cain’s cock then moved her mouth to Brynn’s. Back and forth she shifted, loving the feel of them.
“Jesus, enough,” Cain groaned, stepping back. “That feels too good.” He knelt beside her and, lying back, pulled her down to lie on top on him. He thrust his fingers inside her pussy without preamble. But it was exactly what she wanted. She was wet, needing his touch. Brynn dropped behind them and parted the cheeks of her ass. His tongue licked across her asshole. She arched back in surprise.
“Hurry, please, I don’t want to wait.”
“Good,” Brynn groaned as Cain’s hands replaced Brynn’s, holding her ass cheeks apart. Brynn dipped his fingers into her pussy, gathering up her juices. He thrust a lubricated finger into her ass.
“Oh God, that’s amazing.”
She pushed back, wanting more. Cain smacked her.
“Lie still,” he growled.
Brynn moved up to using two fingers then three. She couldn’t wait.
“Please, please,” she begged.
Cain grasped her hips with his hands, lined her up and drove his cock deep within her. He paused. “Damn, no condom.”
“It doesn’t matter,” she groaned. “Please, don’t stop. Please.”
Her reasons for needing that bit of latex between them seemed stupid, had for a while now. It didn’t matter whether they were true mates or not. Both of them were hers.
As he pulled out, Brynn nudged her ass with the head of his shaft, slowly pushing into her.
“Oh Lord.”
They worked together, one pulling back while the other drove forward.
Pleasure washed over the three of them in a deep wave. Cain reached down and rubbed her clit. She screamed as she came, feeling Cain’s essence shooting through her pussy at the same time as Brynn came in her ass. Stars burst over her in waves, throwing her up to the sky before she fell to the ground and darkness raced over her.
When she awoke she was still between them. They were lying on their sides on the ground in a tangle of limbs.
“What happened?” she asked, groaning, moving her arms and legs carefully. She felt different, strange, but couldn’t quite put her finger on what was wrong. As Cain and Brynn sat up, she felt them.
Inside her.
“Fuck.”
She stared over at Cain as he swore.
“What was that?” Brynn asked.
“We’re mated, all three of us,” she spoke quietly, unnerved.
Brynn frowned. “I know we’re mated—”
“No,” Cain interrupted, “not just mated, true mates. We’re true mates, all three of us, impossible as it sounds. Why did this happen now? How did this happen?”
“You didn’t use a condom,” Dusty said slowly. “And my wolf was fully with us this time. Maybe that’s what the link needed. The three of us together without anything between us. But how is it possible for Brynn to be part of our link?” she pondered.
“It must have something to do with the way we’re tied to him through the bond.”
Brynn rubbed at his chest. “The bond feels stronger, complete. I can feel both of you so strongly.”
“It’s amazing,” she said.
Cain drew her leg onto his lap and rubbed it.
“You did too much. I can feel your pain.”
“I’m fine.” She shrugged off his concern.
“Dusty,” he growled.
“Sorry,” she sighed, snuggling into Brynn, who was rubbing her shoulders. “The adrenaline rush took over.”
“You can’t let your own health suffer,” Brynn said. “Not that
we’d allow that to happen.”
“Arrogant, bossy, domineering—”
“Gorgeous, sexy, snarky…” Brynn interjected with a smile.
“Mine. Both of you. Mine.”
Dusty looked from Cain to Brynn and smiled.
“I never thought I’d be this happy, you know.”
“None of us did, my own. But we are, and we’ll stay this way.”
“Forever.”
Dusty let her men carry her into the bedroom and love her, pamper her, cherish her.
Forever.
