Running in Fear: Abandoned (2 page)

“Strip!” he demanded and leaned against the door. Jaycee did as he asked and stood in the middle of the room, naked. Remi opened the door and Mark and Dane came into the room. They performed the same ritual as Remi had.

Her voice squeaked. “Dane, what's going on?” She stared up at him.

“There's going to be many unattached males in our home for the next week. You're going to draw them to you. Your scent is driving us crazy and we're afraid it will drive them insane too. Mark and I have decided not to wait. We can't trust the others. With our marks and scent on you, it should warn others away.” Dane and Mark stripped out of their clothes. Their beasts broke loose and stalked around her, sniffing again.

Jaycee's beast took over. She shifted, and growled at them, not knowing what was going on.

Dane cornered her and pushed her against the wall. He pulled her arms up and held them with one hand. He brought one of her legs up around his waist and pushed his cock into her wet pussy.

Mark paced back and forth while Dane took her, claiming his property. She tried to move her hands, but he snarled. He bit the other side of her neck and drew blood. Dane marked her like Remi had. Her body shook, sweat broke out, and once again she could have sworn bells rang in her head.

Dane's barb attached itself to her wall. His seed seeped into her. Slowly, he lowered her leg to the floor and kissed her. He shifted, his beast once again settled. His mark claimed her as his.

Jaycee looked at Mark. He stepped up and grabbed her. His body pushed hers to the bed. Her stomach hit the bed, her legs dangled off, and he spread her legs. Going down on his knees, his tongue rolled over her ass cheek. He bit down on her ass hard.

Not expecting his bite, Jaycee snarled, but he held her still as he marked her ass cheek. Mark rose and covered her body with his. His cock pushed into her ass, not too gently. Thank God her body was wet or it would have been painful.

Mark slammed into her. His hands on each side of her head, he gently entwined his clawed hands with hers, making love to her. He leaned in and kissed both marks on her neck. His cock locked into her butt and soaked her ass with his seed. Jaycee moaned, too tired to move. Mark fell on top of her.

She shifted. “Okay, I get you guys getting a little jealous and marking me, but what is with the scent thing? I don't understand.” Jaycee rolled over as Mark got up to go into the bathroom. Jaycee got up, stretched, and walked into the bathroom before Mark could come out.

“Hey, I was going to wash you.” He pushed her against the counter.

“It's okay. I was going to just hop in the shower.” Jaycee moved towards the shower and leaned in to turn on the water, but he grabbed her hand.

“You're not going to clean our scent off you. Our scent will stay with you now no matter what you do,” he snapped and tried to clean her. His touch was rough. He pulled her into the bedroom and pushed her down onto the bed.

“What the fuck are you talking about? And you're hurting me,” she yelled and shoved him off her.

“She was trying to wash our scent off, taking a shower.” Mark shouted. Her other mates snarled.

Jaycee backed up against the wall. Her beast fought to come out, but she knew it would make it worse.

“I don't know what you're talking about. I always take showers. I don't understand, please tell me!” she shrieked. Jaycee shook, afraid to move. She stared at Dane, then at Remi. Jaycee knew Mark was beyond talking to. He paced back and forth. They stood there not saying a word and studied her.

“You really don't understand the significant aspect of mating, do you?” Dane asked and placed a hand on her cheek gently, but she jerked away.

“I'm trying, Dane. I really am, but he's scaring me.” Jaycee nodded at Mark.

“Mark, get control of your beast, or I will. You're scaring Jaycee. Now stop it!” He demanded, but Mark turned and snarled.

Memories of the past surfaced and she cried. Her legs crumbled and she fell to the floor. Jaycee curled up into a ball, flashes of Curt's cruelty surfacing once again. She rocked back and forth. The only word she could speak was “no.”

As if in a cloud far, far away, Jaycee heard Dane and Remi. They whispered words to calm her down, but nothing worked. Gaston burst into the room.

“Slowly move away from her. You're too close to her. She's terrified right now, and she hasn't had a reaction like this in a long time. What the fuck did you guys do?” Gaston demanded and kneeled down beside her. “It's okay, Jaycee, I'm here.”

Dane and Remi moved back. Jaycee knew what was going on and could understand everything, but she couldn't control her body. She lowered her head and laid it down on her knees. She took a deep breath. “It's not their fault. I just wasn't prepared for the emotions. They were so heavy and thick. I felt suffocated like before. I'll get better, I promise,” she whispered.

Her father stood in the doorway. Anger radiated from him. Kate stood, twisting her hands together.

Shelly burst into the room and ran to her. She pulled her up and into the bathroom away from prying eyes.

“It's okay, Jaycee, you're away from everyone.” Shelly plopped her butt onto the bathroom counter and gave her the space to get herself together.

“Tell me what this scent thing is that Mark went crazy over. I just don't understand.” Jaycee threw water into her face and tried to gather her thoughts. This was the first time in two years she had an episode, and she hated to think she had done it in front of her mates.

I'm a fucking alpha and I acted like a freak! Get it together, Jaycee!
She screamed at herself looking at her reflection in the mirror. She was a mess. Wiping her face with a towel Shelly gave her, she waited.

“Well, when a mate marks his female they are—how can I say this? Their beast is marking you. When they mark you, their scent travels through your body. It takes about twenty-four hours. They will be mating with you nonstop, just like when you come in heat. So expect them to be all over you for the next day. Whatever you do, don't take a shower until tomorrow. They'll think you're purposely trying to hide their scent.” Shelly hopped off the counter and handed her clothes.

“Mark left. I hurt him the most. I have to find him,” Jaycee whispered.

“He's still in his beast form. You see, Remi and Dane are alphas. That's why they marked your neck, where Mark is a lesser alpha and that's why he marked you somewhere else. Remi and Dane will be taking you when you come into heat. Mark will have to wait until they are done having children before he can have any. He's hurt, so be careful.”

Shelly glanced over her shoulder as she opened the bathroom door. “If you go to him you're going to have to show your submissive side to him. Go to him naked, so his beast can mark you again. This way you'll be accepting his scent. That is the only way he will calm down.” Shelly stared at her face worried, “It's going to be rough, Jaycee.”

“I kind of figured that, but I've embarrassed them, Shelly. I've got to fix this,” Jaycee mumbled. No one was in the room when she walked into it. She moved slowly down the stairs, her gaze on the floor. She knew everyone stared at her. Her mates talked to the National Council members.

Jaycee took a breath and paused, knowing what she had to do. She went to Dane, not saying a word, and kneeled at his feet. She laid her head on his knee and sought forgiveness.

Dane continued to talk, but he acknowledged her, his hand on her head. About five minutes later, when Dane was done talking, he reached down and picked her up. He wrapped his arms around her, sitting her in his lap while the others talked.

“I'm sorry I embarrassed you. I didn't know.” Jaycee sighed. She kept her head lowered and snuggled into his chest. He raised her chin with his fingers and stared into her eyes.

“I'm sorry. We should have explained things. I take it Shelly talked to you? And you didn't embarrass us, baby. We were worried about you. I think you were right. There is a lot we don't know about you, and we've rushed you. Soon we'll talk, I promise.” Dane kissed her neck.

“I have to apologize to Remi.” She got down off Dane and crawled over to Remi. Once again she laid her head onto his lap and waited. He pulled her right to him and sat her into his lap as he talked. His hands skimmed across her breast and rested on them.

“If you men would excuse me for a minute, my mate needs my attention.” He picked her up and carried her to a spare room off the living room, shutting the door. He unbuttoned her shirt and exposed her breasts to his view. “You're so beautiful, but I'm pissed about being in the dark about what happened to you. Dane told me after Shelly left and Gaston filled in the holes. I want to know it all. I've talked to Dane and he's agreed we were wrong to push you. Soon, tomorrow, maybe we can set aside some time to just talk, the three of us. I think there are many things you haven't told us.” Remi stared into her face. He played with her breasts and she nodded and moaned.

“I need you. Strip.” Remi stepped away, waiting. She slipped her blouse off and tossed it to the chair. She lowered her pants and thong at the same time. Remi stared at her, his gaze mover over her body.

“Turn and face the door, place your hands on the door, spread your legs, and lower your

body. Show me what's mine,” he demanded. His alpha voice sent shivers down her body.

Her pussy quivered with excitement while she did what he demanded. Leisurely taking his time, he skimmed his hand over her ass, but she didn't move an inch. The whoosh of air told her what was coming. Remi's hand made contact with her ass cheek. He switched back and forth, swatting each cheek. Her ass burned, and her pussy grew wet once more. He pushed three fingers into her pussy and moved his fingers inside. He touched everywhere possible.

“That's it, baby, just feel. I'm going to push you, baby.” He pulled out his fingers only to push in his whole hand in. Remi slid three other fingers into her ass. He worked her body to a fever pitch, then pulled away from her body. She groaned in her head. He waited and proceeded to do it again and again, until finally she couldn't take it anymore.

“Please. Remi, fuck me!” she pleaded when he stepped away one last time.

“Shift Jaycee. I want my wolf to take yours,” he said.

The fur broke out of her skin, bones cracked and shifted, and the beast inside waited for its mate's next move. His thick large cock slid into her pussy and his fur rubbed against hers. Remi took her hard, banging into her while he held her hips in place. His cock attached to her inner wall and sucked on her G-spot, which sent her orgasm through her. Every muscle contracted, and she howled, not caring who heard.

He pumped one more time into her, and his seed flowed freely. She would have fallen but he held on to her while he pulled out of her body. He licked his mark and placed a kiss on it. He turned her to face him and placed his lips gently over hers. His lips were like satin, but firm as he kissed her. His hands traced her body as they stood there. He broke the kiss and smiled at her.

She shifted back as he did. “I need to find Mark. Do you know where he is?” Jaycee asked, looking into his eyes and cupping his face with her hand.

“Do you think it's wise to seek him out? He's still out of control. His beast is riding him strong.” Remi frowned at her and watched her dress.

“Shelly told me what to do. I have to, Remi. I hurt him,” she mumbled and lowered her head.

“It's not your fault. He'll understand.”

“Please, I have to do this,” she asked.

“He's in the family room. I'll walk down with you and make sure no one is around when you strip. I'll leave your clothes by the door and make sure no one comes down there. He'll attack anyone who interrupts,” Remi said.

“I'll be okay.” Jaycee walked down the stairs while Remi followed behind her. Feral snarls came from the room as she got closer. Jaycee sucked in her breath and tried to stop her hands from shaking. “I can do this,” she whispered to herself.

Jaycee slowly stripped out of her clothes. Remi stood in front of her and made sure no one came, but Dane came down the hallway and frowned.

“What are you doing, Jaycee? You could get hurt.” Dane said.

She stared up at him. “I have to do this, if not for him, then for myself. I hurt him. I can fix this. Shelly told me what to do. In a way, I'm facing my demons. I know you both said I didn't embarrass you, but I know inside I did. You can't have a half alpha at your side. That's what I'm right now, Dane. You need a strong alpha mate, not a weakling.” Both of them growled as she got on her hands and knees and opened the door.

She slowly entered. Mark stopped pacing and waited. She crawled to him. Remi closed the door behind her. Mark snarled as she approached him. She shifted to her beast.

Jaycee turned and gave him access to her ass. She lowered her head in respect and waited, but she didn't have long to wait.

Mark pounced on her and shoved his cock into her ass hard. He grabbed her clawed hands and held them down with his. One of his claws cut into her hand. The blood dripped down slowly, but she didn't move while he marked her again. She could feel the panic rise, but she pushed it back.
I can do this for him!

He racked his teeth down her neck and shivers ran down her spine. His cock locked into her ass. He howled his seed shot out of him, but he stayed hard.

Mark pulled out of her, but still held her down. His warm seed spread across her back and into the back of her hair. He rubbed his seed everywhere on her back. He flipped her over. His fur paws grabbed her breasts and squeezed and pinched them. His other hand jerked his cock and another spray of seed covered her breasts and face. He rubbed it all over her and smeared it into her fur.

“You're mine!” he snapped and slowly transformed back to his human form. She waited as he slowly rose.

The family door creaked open. Dane and Remi came in. She lowered her head, not looking at them. Mark sat on the couch and shook his head back and forth.

“What the fuck did I do?”

Jaycee crawled to him and laid her head on his leg. “I did it. You didn't do anything, Mark. I didn't understand what it meant to be marked. I'm sorry. I've embarrassed all of you,” Jaycee sighed.

Mark stared at her. “Come on, baby. Let's get you cleaned up. I'm so sorry I did this to you. And you have nothing to apologize for. I have to learn to control the beast better.” Mark picked her up into his arms and kissed her stained face. He stopped in front of Dane and Remi. “I'm sorry, Dane, Remi.” Mark lowered his head. Dane grabbed his shoulders.
