Mated to Three (6 page)

Within seconds all three men were around her, kissing her.

“We love you, too.”

Their touch, it calmed the fear that was threatening to take over.

Suddenly, Alex tensed up, as did Reese and Draco. Bethany heard it. The growl of wolves, not one, but many.

They will not hurt you once they see me.

How can they see you?

I have my ways.

She found the wolf in her mind a nice addition to her craziness.

At least she wasn’t talking to herself, she had a friend in the form of a wolf.

Reese stepped forward, keeping Alex and Bethany behind him.

They’re coming to take her from us.

I won’t let them.

Draco stood by his side, and they didn’t have long to wait before their pack entered the lake. The icy ground crunched beneath their feet, and Reese sensed their fear, their nerves. They were not getting to his woman, no matter what. He would protect her with his very life.

Mischa was the first to change from wolf to human. She stood tall, thrusting her chest out, and smirking at him.

“I couldn’t speak the words, but I could write them, Reese,” she said.

He didn’t say a word, watching as men and a few women changed into human form.

Liam, one of his closest allies, stepped forward. “How could you do this, Alpha? Allow a human to live after her attack. She’s an abomination.”

Reese growled. He heard Bethany gasp and felt her upset.

“Speak carefully, Liam. My patience is only so short.”

“You see? She has him convinced that she is one of us. I saw her with my own eyes. She was pretty much dead, and he allowed her to live, like a zombie. She is not one of us and needs to be brought into the pack to be destroyed!” This came from Mischa.

He saw some of the pack agreed with her, but they were curious. They wanted to know what and who had kept their Alpha from them.

“She’s my mate,” he said, speaking firm.

“Outrageous. Only a worthy female can mate with you. She’s all wrong for you, and you’ve been manipulated by a witch.” Mischa spat the words, taking a step forward.

He had no attraction for her.

Reese never had even thought she had been the strongest female in the pack, he’d not liked her.

“Bethany belongs to me!”

He saw several of them jerk at the name.

“Bethany?” they all asked.

“Bethany from the café?” Liam asked, speaking for them.

“Yes,” Draco said. “What did Mischa tell you?”

“It doesn’t matter what I told them—”

“Silence!” Reese yelled the word. “You bring the pack to me, threaten to kill my mate, and you don’t even tell them why? You don’t give them all the facts!” He wanted to kill Mischa. Instead of risking Bethany’s life by moving from in front of her, he stayed in his place. “Over a week ago, a hiker was attacked. Bethany, the waitress from the café, went to see if she could help. The hiker had been attacked by a wolf, and for trying to help another woman Bethany was attacked also.” He swallowed past the lump that had formed in his throat, thinking about the danger that she’d been in. “The hiker didn’t make it. She was torn to shreds and eaten. Bethany, however, was torn, bloody, and bruised. She didn’t die. Draco and Alex, they helped me to bring her here, where she got better. She got stronger, and the wolf within her is strong.” He paused, letting everything he had said sink in. “She’s my mate, and she belongs to Draco, and to Alex. All three of us have mated with her.”

“How can that be?” Liam asked.

“We don’t know. We don’t know what will happen come the full moon. She is not a threat.”

“She is a savage beast,” Mischa said.

“How fucking dare you,” Alex said, snarling the words out. He stepped around Reese, holding Bethany by his side. “This is a savage beast? Is she so dangerous? She has been out on her own, and she has not harmed anyone. There is no blood thirst inside her. She is precious.”

All of the pack stared at Bethany, and he saw her tense. She was terrified of what was about to happen.

One by one, Reese was shocked as they sank to their knees before her.

“What are you doing?” Mischa said.

“She is our Alpha’s queen, as she is our Beta’s. Can’t you feel the energy coming from her. She is real, and she is not a threat,” Liam said. “We hope you will find happiness within the pack, Bethany. This is your place, and it is with great pleasure that I offer my sincere apologies. I came because I thought my Alpha was under threat. I know that to be a lie.”

“Er, okay,” Bethany said. She was shaking, scared, terrified.

“Do you accept my apology?” Liam asked.

“Nothing to accept. I’m good. Kind of scared that I’m naked, and everyone can see.” She hid behind Alex’s naked form.

The pack smiled, standing tall. “I apologize, Bethany. Nakedness doesn’t bother the pack.”

“Maybe one day it won’t bother me.”

They all smiled.

“Alpha, how would you like us to proceed?”

“I want you to find the wolf that did this. I want to know who is hunting on our ground, and who is causing these deaths. Hikers should be free in Riser Woods.”

“Yes, sir.”

Draco entered Bethany’s room at the café. She had insisted that she live with Alex, and still continue to work for the rest of the month. She was sat at the table, covering up her scar when he entered.

She smiled at him, and he couldn’t help but smile back.

“Hello, beautiful.”

“I don’t feel it today.” She put down the makeup and turned toward him. “I’m not used to wearing this stuff. I don’t know if I’m doing it right.”

Draco took the makeup from her, and started to work on the scars on her face, blending the powder in. “I know how to do it.”

“Thank you.”

“You don’t have to go to work right away.”

“I don’t want Alex to go out of business. The café is his life. He loves it here, and I love working here.”

“Reese doesn’t like you being away from the pack.”

Three whole days had passed since the incident in the woods. Draco had seen that Bethany was nervous. The pack took turns taking care of her. Someone was always by her side, and after two whole days, she had used the excuse of the café to get away.

“They’re not bad,” he said.

She didn’t pretend to not know what he was talking about. “I know. They’re really nice. I guess some things haven’t changed with me turning into a wolf. I get nervous being naked, I’m not used to seeing it everywhere. Most of your pack likes to walk around naked.”

“Most of the unmated pack males have fallen in love with you,” Draco said.

“I doubt it.”

“I know I have. I always had.” He finished doing her makeup and touched the collar of her shirt.

She closed her eyes. “I love it when you touch me.”

“It drives me crazy. I feel like I don’t touch you enough.” Even though they were parted during the day, they were all together at night, sharing one bed. He’d been inside her hours ago but it felt like it was months, years.

Bethany stood, and he did the same. She stared up at him. He was going to step away, but she closed the gap between them, sliding her hands up his shirt. Sinking his fingers inside her hair, he moaned as she nipped at his lip. Running his hands down her back, he cupped her ass, lifting up her skirt to tease between her thighs. She was wet, covering her panties. Tearing them from her body, he slammed her against the wall, lifting her leg up, he thrust two fingers inside her.

“I’ve wanted you for so long, Bethany, so fucking long. I’m so damn happy that I’m mated to you. You belong to me.”

“What about Reese and Alex?” she asked.

“You belong to us all. You know that, and I know that. This isn’t just about me, it’s about all of us. We belong together, always have.” Draco loved it when he got to watch her coming apart in Alex or Reese’s arms. There was no jealousy between the men, only respect, and of course love. They all loved Bethany, and that love built between them all.

She tugged on the buckle of his belt, releasing it, and pulling out his cock. He was already long, thick, and hard. When he went to pick her up, she surprised him by sinking to her knees. She held his cock, taking him into her mouth, and they both moaned. His pre-cum spilled out of the tip into her waiting mouth.

Wrapping her long brown hair around his wrist, he watched as her lips spread around his dick. Slowly thrusting in and out, he built up a steady pace. She moaned, sucking harder on his dick.

It was heaven, total heaven, and he wanted to come. More than anything he wanted to come.

“Touch your pussy,” he said. “Before I come, I want to see you finger yourself.”

She stared up at him, her hand delving between her thighs. She started to touch herself, and he felt the difference in her mouth. She took him deeper. When he hit the back of her throat, she didn’t stop. Using her hand and mouth, she worked his dick like a fucking pro, and he loved it. He didn’t look away.

“Are you close, baby?” he asked.

Bethany hummed her answer, and he couldn’t take it anymore. Thrusting into her mouth, he gave her a quick warning that he was close. She didn’t pull away in disgust, and so he pumped into her mouth, filling her with his cum which she swallowed down. Seconds later, still sucking the remnants of his cum from his dick, Bethany came, filling the air with her incredible scent. It was the nicest smell in the world.

* * * *

Bethany smiled at the customers, taking their orders. She kept her pace slow, worried that she would give something away that she wasn’t entirely human anymore.

“Are you okay, baby?” Alex asked, pulling her aside as she gripped the counter.

“I’m fine.”

Sweat dotted her brow from the effort to keep up the pretense. The noise within the café was so loud. She heard everything, the smells were at times too much for her. Her stomach kept on turning.

“How can you handle it?” she asked.

“Years of practice.”

A wave of fried food, something fishy, and then eggs was all it took. Bethany rushed behind the counter, going toward the toilet. Lifting up the lid, she threw up everything she ate that morning, plus lunch.

Alex was right behind her. He held her hair in his hand. The buzzing in her head was giving her a headache, and she was getting so hot.

“You need to go back to the pack,” he said.

He picked her up, and leaving through the back, Bethany couldn’t focus. “I’m sorry,” she said.

“It was too early for you to try to be normal, sweetie.”

“I was doing well.”

“You were, and I’m proud of you. Not many wolves can take on a café within their first month of turning.”

She felt the tears flooding her eyes, making everything a little blurry. “I’m scared. What if I don’t ever get used to it?”

“You’re one of the strongest women I know. You’ll get there. Besides, Reese, Draco, and I can take care of you.”

She smiled. “I’ve never thought about being a kept woman before.”

“Is everything okay?” Liam asked, coming out of nowhere. Alex was carrying her through the forest toward their pack.

Closing her eyes, she rested her head against Alex’s shoulder, loving his smell. Her big bear was so gentle and kind. She loved him with her whole heart.

“She’s fine. She’s just trying to do too much at once. Typical woman.” She heard the love in his voice and couldn’t help smiling.

“I know you love me,” she said.

“That is never in question. I’ll love you for the rest of my damn life. What I don’t like is you putting yourself at risk for nothing.” He kissed the top of her head. “You don’t need to work. The whole pack is willing to take care of you.”

“You’re one of us now, Bethany,” Liam said.

She snuggled in close to Alex, loving his warmth.

Draco and Reese had been at the café that morning, offering her support. Draco had come to her room where she’d given her first blow job. She had enjoyed it. Bethany loved being there for her men. It meant a great deal to her, to be what they needed.

“Any news on the rogue wolf?” Alex asked.

“No. We’re hunting the grounds, but his scent has faded or disappeared. Are you sure it was a wolf?” Liam asked.

“Positive. There was no mistaking the smell. I also noted that it was wild.”

“They are a lot harder to track. They’re known for poaching on packs lands. They cause a few problems, and then they leave,” Liam said. “A couple of packs out west reported a problem not too different.”

“Do they have a human female that has been turned?” Alex asked.

“No. There are no reports of anyone surviving an attack.”

“What about this one?”

“Reese doesn’t want to risk it.”

“Huh,” Alex said.

She didn’t interrupt their conversation. Bethany wondered if it would be suicide to announce to the wolf world of the attack, and of the fact there was a survivor. Would it put her life in danger? Probably. Was it worth the risk? She didn’t have time to dwell on it as they entered pack territory, and Reese was there.

After handing Bethany to Reese, Alex made his way back to the café with Liam in tow. He didn’t like the thoughts going around his own head at the prospect of using Bethany as bait. It was a thought that came to him while talking with Liam, and he didn’t like it.

“Do you think other women would change?” Liam asked, pulling him out of his thoughts.

“I’m sorry, what?”

“Women like Bethany. Do you think it’s possible for others like her?”

“It could be.”

“I always liked Bethany. I thought she was a real sweetheart. Hard working.”

Alex paused, looking at Liam. “You’re envious?”

“Yes, wouldn’t you be if it was the other way around? She’s a beautiful woman. I’d be a fool not to be jealous.”

He let out a sigh. “I really don’t know what to say right now.”

“Forget I said anything. I’ve seen the way you, Draco, and Reese look at her. I got a glimpse of her body, and I guess I’m just a guy that likes a whole lot of woman. Hoping to find my own someday.”

Alex frowned. “There’s a chance your mate will be human. You may find her.”
