Raiden remained still, pushed up inside Alex’s heat until the last drop of his seed was spent, then he relaxed into the bed and petted Alex’s head tenderly. He opened his eyes, which he hadn’t even realized he had closed, and stared down at the amazing man at his feet. Alex licked him clean as he drew up, then released Raiden’s dick, with a small pop. Alex licked his lips as he looked up at Raiden through his long lashes.
In that moment, Raiden fell head over heels in love with Alex. The look of joy and fulfillment in Alex’s gorgeous light brown eyes, the pink cheeks and swollen lips, along with the sexy way he was peering up at Raiden, looking like a debauched angel.
“Come here,” Raiden said softly. He had a sudden need to hold Alex.
Alex sat up higher, then got to his feet. Raiden grabbed Alex’s arm, helping him as Alex stumbled. Then it dawned on him that he never gave Alex permission to use his hands. Raiden slid his hands down Alex’s arms and took his hands in his and kissed each one, then looked into Alex’s eyes and smiled. “You are so amazing, pet.”
Raiden gave Alex a gentle tug, pulling Alex onto his lap. Alex hissed from the contact to his red behind and Raiden wrapped his arms around Alex and slid back in the bed, pulling the two of the to the head, then he lay back with Alex resting against his chest, taking the pressure off Alex’s ass.
The bed dipped down to his left and Raiden opened his eyes, again, once again he hadn't even realized he had closed them. He had been lying there luxuriating in the moment and the feel of Alex in his arms, their flesh pressed together.
Raiden smiled when he saw Tug sitting beside him holding out a tub of ointment. Raiden knew exactly what it was. That was his Tug, well, their Tug now, his and Alex’s. Tug was a wonderful, caring, thoughtful Master. “Here, love, you know what to do with this. It will help him. You did a great job, baby. How do you feel?”
“Like I have finally found that missing piece,” Raiden replied, as he dipped his fingers into the tub then gently applied the ointment to Alex’s heated ass. It was that moment he realized Alex was already asleep. His little mate flinched slightly and a tiny whimper came from his lips, but other than that, Alex’s breathing was low and steady and a small snore escaped, causing both Raiden and Tug to chuckle lightly.
“It’s been a long day for him. We should let him sleep,” Tug said, before he leaned forward and pressed a kiss to Alex’s temple.
“I agree. You’re joining us, right?” Raiden asked, as he finished caring for Alex’s rear end, happy that the ointment would ease most of the discomfort Alex would be feeling which would allow him to sleep more soundly. With their shifter genes Alex should be completely healed by morning.
“Of course I am, baby,” Tug replied, as he placed the tub on the nightstand, then helped Raiden adjust himself and Alex so they were under the blankets, then Tug slid in beside him and Raiden pressed against Tug. Alex shifted in his sleep, settling on his stomach in the crease between their two larger bodies, his head and one arm rested on Raiden’s chest and one arm and leg thrown over Tug.
“Gods he’s beautiful,” Tug whispered, as he ran his fingers through Alex’s long honey blond hair.
“I know, right? And this hair. It’s so long and silky. So soft. It felt amazing brushing against my thighs,” Raiden replied.
Tug chuckled lightly. “Oh, I bet it did. You two were really hot together. I can’t wait to watch you Master him some more, but I can't wait to have both my pets kneeling at my feet. Maybe I’ll let you fuck him while he sucks my cock,” Tug teased.
Raiden groaned as a shiver raced through him. “Gods, I want to experience your dominance over both of us. So when can we do this claiming?” Raiden asked.
“First thing in the morning. We’ll get up and have some breakfast, then I want to hunt my men. My wolf is aching to hunt you both down and take you.”
“Damn, mine is too. When he looks at Alex, my wolf growls and scratches to get out and fuck him, and when I look at you, he whines and submits, just wanting to be taken hard and fast.”
Tug reached out and brushed his fingers through Raiden’s hair then leaned in and kissed his lips tenderly. “Tomorrow I will take you both and then you will take Alex and we’ll finally be mated.”
“I can’t wait.”
“Sleep now, baby and get your rest. Tomorrow you’re going to need it,” Tug said with a smirk.
CHAPTER 17
Waiting for morning and breakfast hadn’t happened. For the first two hours they all slept soundly, but after that is was as if something had flipped a switch in the room and Alex and his mates all began to toss and turn in their sleep. Finally at around three thirty, Tug slid from beneath Alex, and stood beside the bed. He figured he would get dressed and start their meal, but as he went around the room, gathering his clothes, Alex sat up, stretched his arms over his head and yawned. When Tug turned to look at him, his heart filled with happiness from the cute and gorgeous vision before him.
Alex looked at him with sleepy eyes and smiled, and Tug fell in that moment. He had been having so many different feelings for Alex for so long and recently those deepened to love, but this was different. Now he knew he loved Alex just as he loved Raiden. In this moment he fell in love with Alex and didn’t want to go another day without him in their lives.
Raiden had also awoken and the three of them dressed, headed for the kitchen, but no food was made. As they stood there looking through the pantry, Alex declared his wolf was riding him hard and he needed to run. Before either Tug or Raiden could respond, Alex had stripped out of his clothes and ran for the back door, but before he disappeared into the darkness of early morning, Alex turned to look at them over his shoulder, a mischievous smirk on his face and said, “Chase me.”
With that Alex was gone. Tug and Raiden stood there speechless for a few moments just staring at the empty spot where Alex had just been. Tug blinked and looked to Raiden and found his man dumbstruck, but his eyes were filled with heat. Tug smiled, then let his wolf come to the surface, and growled in a deep voice, “Run.”
Raiden’s gaze flicked to his, his lover’s eyes now filled with excitement and need. Raiden backed away from Tug a few steps as he started to strip his clothes. Once Raiden was nude, he licked his lips and Tug saw Raiden’s eyes glowing with his wolf. He knew his man was more than ready for this moment to happen and wanted it. Raiden turned and swiftly ran out the open back door, also disappearing into the darkness.
Tug smiled as he walked to the fridge and opened the freezer. He pulled out three thick T-bones he found there and placed them on the counter. He knew it would be hours before they returned, because after he caught his prey, Tug knew he would be spending many hours taking his men over and over again, and when they did come back they would all be hungry.
He yanked off his shirt and tossed it on the chair at the table, then pulled off his sleep pants, letting them pool on the floor. Stepping out of them Tug went to the door and stepped outside. He lifted his nose in the air and drew in a deep breath and smelled that his men ran in opposite directions. Another smile came to his lips as he thought of them giving him a challenge and Tug loved them even more for it.
He closed the door behind him and let down his guard, allowing his wolf to take over. It only took his beast a few heartbeats before he was free and shaking out his form, stretching his legs, and sniffing the air. Mates. The wolf growled in his mind, focused on one purpose, claiming what was his by right. A gift from his gods that he and his beast would never forsake. Instantly the animal took off in the direction of Alex’s scent, and the chase was on.
The wolf ran at top speed for almost fifteen minutes before Alex’s scent changed direction, so the wolf followed. Another five minutes and the delicious scent of Alex mingled with another and the wolf knew his other mate was nearby. From the pattern of how the two were moving, the wolf knew they had been circling close to the cabin and had crossed paths. They must be staying close because of the time of morning.
Their mix
ed smell grew stronger and the wolf raised his eyes, focusing his hearing on his surroundings. He heard a small yelp of surprise, then a soft growl, but it wasn’t one of danger. It was one of dominance. Raiden's wolf had found Alex and the beast wanted to claim, but Tug couldn’t allow that. He was their alpha mate, their Dominant, and he would claim what belonged to him first.
The alpha wolf picked up speed and a few minutes later he broke through the tree line to find Raiden’s large wolf standing by the lake, focused on a smaller wolf, that lay on its belly with its paws out before him, head down and ears back. The smaller wolf was showing Raiden’s wolf submission, but not fully. He realized then that both his mates knew how this needed to go.
Slowly the alpha wolf stalked closer and released a low, deep growl, alerting his prey to his presence. Both wolves turned their heads to look at him and the small wolf instantly whined. The large wolf growled and turned to face him, his body tense and ready to strike. The alpha wolf circled the beta/delta wolf, growling low in his throat, warning the other wolf to stand down and submit. But the beta/delta wolf would not comply as he took a calculated step closer and growled his own warning.
The alpha wolf knew the other wolf would not just lie down and bare his throat, the wolf would give him a challenge and the alpha wolf was thrilled. He would show his dominance over the beast and make him submit, then the prize would be that much more exciting.
With his focus solely on the beta/delta wolf, the alpha wolf stalked slowly forward as the other wolf snarled and snapped, pounding its front paws on the hard earth. The alpha rose up high on its hind legs and howled, then dropped and attacked. The beta/delta wolf went to move right, but the alpha was ready and moved with him, then struck, landing on the beta/delta’s back. They fought and tumbled around, growling at one another. After ten minutes he could feel the lower ranking wolf growing tired, so the alpha struck, biting the beta/delta on the neck, making the wolf cry out.
The beta/delta suddenly went limp beneath him and raised his head, exposing its throat in a show of surrender and submission. The alpha released the wolf’s neck and licked the side of its face, then growled low, telling the wolf to stay.
The alpha stepped back from the beta/delta and turned his head to look at the smaller wolf and found him gone. Surprise struck him and he momentarily froze. Then a body jumped on his back, claws gripped his sides and a growl rang in his ears. The alpha wolf instantly went on the defense and bucked the wolf from his back easily, spinning to face his opponent.
The alpha wolf was shocked to see that he faced off against the delta/gamma. He released a deadly growl, warning the wolf to submit. The delta/gamma instantly dropped to the ground, his ears lying flat against his head and raised his head, exposing his throat. As the alpha slowly approached, the smaller wolf whined then rolled over onto its back, exposing its belly, giving him its total submission.
Tug rejoiced inside, as he watched Alex’s wolf submit to his beast as Raiden’s wolf stood still nearby, watching the exchange. The alpha wolf went to the smaller wolf and circled, then licked a line up its snout and the smaller wolf whined again. As the alpha continued to walk around the smaller wolf, he growled low, a rumbling sound coming from his chest. The smaller wolf rolled back to its belly, then rose up on all fours. He lowered his gaze to the floor, then his head, and the front of his body followed. The smaller wolf pressed its chest to the ground, raising its hind end high in the air in offering to the alpha.
The alpha moved in behind the smaller wolf as it lifted its tail and the alpha licked across the smaller wolf's hole a few times drawing another whine from him. The alpha licked again, and this time found what he was waiting for. The smaller wolf's hole was now slick and dripping, ready to be taken.
He raised his head high and howled into the night in triumph, then immediately rose up on his hind legs as he moved closer to the smaller wolf and placed his front paws on the smaller beast’s back. The alpha pressed the head of his shaft to the smaller wolf's hole and drove in with one thrust, filling his mate.
The alpha wolf pressed in harder, deeper, as he put more of his weight on the smaller wolf, holding the beast down, then wrapped its powerful jaws around the back of the smaller wolf’s neck and bit down, but did not break skin. The need to own, to dominate, to claim, hit the large beast hard and he let himself get lost in the moment, starting to rut against the weaker beast, fucking him into complete submission. The weaker wolf whimpered beneath him and pushed back into his throat, showing the alpha that the wolf was his. His to control. His to dominate. His to take, however, whenever, and wherever he chose.
He picked up his speed and fucked his mate with abandon, claiming the wolf as his own. The smaller wolf released a small howl of pleasure, and the alpha scented its release on the air. He fucked the wolf harder, letting the wolf know who he now belonged to, who his Master was. The thought sent a rush of need within him and he felt his release forcing to come out and spill his seed deep in his mate’s ass, breeding him even though they could not conceive. From now on others would smell him on his mate and know to stay away or face death. All but the other wolf who remained nearby, watching and waiting.
Just as his orgasm was about to erupt, the alpha looked to the beta/delta and saw longing in his eyes, and knew the other wolf was ready to be claimed as well. The alpha turned back to the wolf he was fucking and bit down on the side of the wolf’s neck, causing the wolf to cry out. The first splash of blood across his tongue had the alpha’s head spinning with delight, and suddenly he could feel the wolf below him inside his head as he shot his seed deep in his mate’s ass and froze, taking delight in the moment.
The alpha could suddenly feel everything the smaller wolf was feeling and he knew the pleasure he was giving his mate, as well as felt the need and desire the wolf and the man had, to be owned, claimed, and dominated. He swore in that moment he would never let his mate down. He would always protect him and give his smaller mate everything he needed and desired. He would give that to both his mates from now until eternity.
He heard the sound of another whine and opened his eyes to find the beta/delta now lying on his belly before them and he was licking the smaller wolf’s face. Their eyes met and the alpha could see the deep need within the beta/delta. He released the flesh in his mouth and licked across his bite, sealing the wound that would now always be visible to all who looked, marking this stunning creature as his.
The alpha rose up over the smaller wolf’s back and felt the base of his cock begin to thicken. The delta/gamma whined and looked back to him, his eyes wide and filled with pleasure. The alpha knew his mating knot was now forming and he would be locked inside his mate’s heat for some time. He lowered down once again pressing his chest to the smaller wolf’s back and barked, telling the smaller wolf they were moving.
They both rolled and dropped to the ground together. He was still buried deep inside the smaller male and wrapped around him as his knot increased more, making them both howl softly. The feeling was like nothing he had ever experienced before. It was the most pleasurable thing he had ever felt and the alpha just wanted to stay inside his mate forever. He only wished he could take both his mates at once and knot them both, then life would be perfect.
He watched as the beta/delta crawled closer on his belly and lay in front of them, then rested his jaw on the smaller wolf’s neck. Their gazes met and his heart filled with love. He raised his head and licked the beta/delta’s face, then rested as his knot pulsed, sending a shiver up his spine and his smaller mate whimpered.
Lying there he wondered how long the knot would bind them together before he could take his other mate and claim him as well.
CHAPTER 18
They all lay there still, huddled together for a little over an hour before their alpha mate shifted and pulled back. Keeping his head resting on his smaller mate, Raiden’s wolf watched as the alpha strode to the lake and slowly walked in, immersing himself in the water. The beast dove under a few times before
coming out again, then shaking the water from his fur before he padded back to where he and their other mate still lay.
Their delta/gamma remained asleep, his breathing low and even, face relaxed, the little wolf looked at peace. In the time their alpha mate was locked inside their smaller mate, the two had fallen asleep, but every few minutes they would both make moaning sounds and he figured it was from the knot and wondered what it felt like. He couldn’t wait for his Master Alpha to take him, dominate him, and claim him. They had been together for so long and had given one another the mating bite, but it never left more than a very faint mark. Now they knew why. Without their linchpin mate, their bond would never be complete even though they were also true mates. Something neither of them had known until they met their linchpin. Elation filled him, knowing that he was only moments from finally being claimed properly by his alpha male, and that they would now be truly bound together forever.
A low growl brought him out of his thoughts as a shiver of desire raced through him. The growl was not one to fear or of warning, but one of lust and need to claim. His alpha wolf came closer and nudged him and instantly he rolled away from their sleeping mate and crawled away, not wanting to wake him.
Once he was a few feet away he met the alpha wolf’s gaze and knew what he needed to do. The alpha’s gaze was intense, telling him to submit. Leaving his chest on the ground and his head down, he raised his hind end high in the air, offering himself to his alpha, his Master, his mate. Giving his complete and total submission to the other wolf he loved.

Raiden opened his eyes when a bright light hit him in the face, then he squinted against the burn. He sat up and stretched his arms over his head as he looked around and smiled when he saw Tug sitting in one of the Adirondacks chairs that sat on the shore of the lake facing the water and Alex sat curled up in his lap. Raiden pushed back the blanket that pooled around his waist and his chest filled with happiness when he realized one of his men had covered him.
