Chasing Harmony (The Others Book 1)

by Sabrina Rue

  “Fuck me.” She licked the blood from his skin. “Fuck me the way you want to. Give me my reward.”

  He moaned raggedly. “Harmony.”

  Her juices slid over him, her muscles flexed as he pushed into her body without mercy. Jax held her hips immobile until she tired of his attempt to keep control.

  She put one of his hands on her breast. The other, she sucked his thumb while he watched her. Then she slid it down her torso and positioned it over her clit.

  “You play with me. I’ll do the fucking this time.”

  Gripping his shoulder and his hair, she fucked him hard and fast. “I know you want to give it to me, Jax. You know how much I need it. You won’t keep it from me.”

  Her eyes were glazed and dilated, the green glowing bright.

  The Wolf that lived inside every Were was usually symbiotic. In some situations, they lost control of their primal selves.

  No woman had ever fucked Jax. They’d been fucked, they’d taken fucking, but they’d never taken control.

  Not the way Harmony did.

  It was almost cruel the way she impaled herself on him. He claimed her mouth aggressively, thrusting his tongue between her lips to mimic the movement of their bodies.

  “Harder, Jax. I need it harder!” He hesitated and she pulled him closer. “Give me your Wolf. Let him go! He’s mine!”

  Snarling in her face as he drove her to her back made her hiss. Bracing his feet on the floor, he pounded into her. Her legs wrapped around his hips and she gave him a feral smile.

  “Yes, gods, yes. Give me what I want.”

  She spiraled higher, higher – her claws leaving scratches up and down his back – until every muscle in her body locked hard and tight. He watched as her climax destroyed her.

  Their chests connected with a crack and Harmony held him deep inside her. One hand fisted in his hair, her legs holding him harder than any woman ever had.

  “Give it to me.” Her voice was deep, filled with her Wolf. “Give me what you know I want. Now.”

  Throwing his head back with a howl, his body, his mind, his Wolf obeyed the directive of his Alpha, his Mate, a half-breed female who shouldn’t have been stronger but was.

  He knotted her and she tightened her body around him. Keeping him immobile as her pussy milked every drop.

  “Mine, Jax. It’s all mine, Mate.”

  Half-blind with pleasure, he buried his face at her neck. Gasping for breath, he growled, “Harmony…”

  His mouth latched to her nipple, furled tight and cherry red. Sucking it firmly to the roof of his mouth, he played over it with his tongue.

  She held his head to her as she purred with pleasure. She whispered at his ear about all the things she wanted to do to him as her body roared through one climax after another.

  Her nails raked through his damp hair and petted along his neck. “Giving to me. Letting me take. Thank you, Jax.”

  Raising his face, he stared into glowing green eyes and saw his future stretching out with a woman he never expected.

  “I love you, Harmony.”

  She smiled and clicked her teeth at him. “Will you sleep with me in a Pack pile?”

  “Anything you want.”

  Holding his cheeks, she murmured, “You beside me. That’s what I want. Love me as I love you.”

  He nodded and she kissed him until nothing mattered but her touch, her scent, her happiness.

  Ryker entered the master suite and took in the condition of his best friend’s back. Lifting his blonde head from Harmony’s chest, Jax glanced over his shoulder.

  “She’s nowhere close to done. You’re up in ten, Alpha.”

  As he approached the couch, Harmony’s glowing green eyes tracked him. He knelt beside the couch and raked his fingers through her wet hair.

  “How do you feel, Mate?”

  “I need more. You will give me more.”

  “Of course.”

  “I want all of it, Mate.” Fisting the hair at the base of his neck, she pulled him closer and devoured his mouth. “You want to give to me. You want to fill me up.”

  “Always, Harmony.” Bending his head, he took a hard nipple in his mouth and sucked firmly. Releasing it with a soft pop, he told her, “As soon as you let Jax go, we’ll take you together.”

  Holding their necks tightly, she growled, “Take me together, knot me together, sleep together in a Pack pile.”

  “Exactly, Mate. I’m going to give you water and food…”

  “Mates first, food second.”

  “Let’s keep your strength up, Harmony. A little break for sustenance and then everything you want.”

  She nodded slowly and released him, dropping back to the couch with a low growl.

  Everything about her was primal.

  Her Wolf was dominant from bloodlust but Ryker thought it was hitting her even harder than male Weres because she’d fed on the blood of Daemons.

  It was said to be powerful stuff.

  And their Mate was already pretty fucking powerful.

  CHAPTER TWENTY

  The three of them didn’t leave the master suite for two full days. Jax and Ryker took turns checking on the Daemon prisoners and making sure the Pack had what they needed.

  Otherwise, they focused on pleasuring her, feeding her, and sleeping with their bodies wrapped around her.

  She fought hard and fucked hard. They were continually fascinated by a woman unlike any other.

  Ryker was exhausted but peaceful in a part of himself that hadn’t had peace in a very long time. He’d never slept so deeply or felt so certain about his place in the world.

  Even wild, demanding, and dangerous, Harmony was devoted to her Mates and their pleasure.

  She held them tightly, loved them with every inch of herself, and kept them beside her day and night. Her kisses, touches, and little sounds were becoming life to the friends.

  Blinking against sunlight that filled the room, Ryker realized Harmony wasn’t between them.

  “Jax.” His best friend opened his eyes. “She’s gone.”

  They both bounded from the bed and pulled on sweat pants before slamming into the hall.

  Room to room, they searched for her.

  Screaming outside made them turn sharply and race for the side yard. Busting through the back door startled screams from several women.

  * * *

  Harmony showered, dressed in workout gear, and met her training deadline as promised.

  She had Desiree bent backwards over her knee when her Mates threw themselves out of the house.

  Raising her brow at them, she announced, “Ladies, let’s take a ten-minute break.”

  Snickering, Desiree straightened and gestured for the other women to follow her into the house to give the trio privacy.

  Approaching her Mates, Harmony smiled up at them. “I couldn’t bear to wake you up. You looked so cute.” Sliding her palm along the sides of their necks, she brought them down for kisses. “How do you feel? Good?”

  The friends shared confused expressions. Ryker said, “Uh, we were okay…before.”

  “No, you weren’t. Now you’re bonded properly. To each other and to me.” They stared at her for a long moment.

  Jax whispered, “How long have you been out of bloodlust?”

  “Since yesterday morning. After you knotted me together while I drank your blood.” She winked at their shocked faces. “You needed time to see what we could be together and you have that now. I wanted you to stretch your perceptions and you did. I needed time to think, to blank my mind during the day so I could track Hope while you slept.”

  For more than a minute, they simply stared at her.

  Ryker finally asked, “Is there anything else we were clueless about, Mate? Because I feel like we’ve missed everything.”

  Grinning, she replied, “I’m going to turn those Daemons to our side.” Both men stumbled back a step. “It will take me six months to remove the brainwashing they recei
ved from the Purists. Then I’ll really get to work.”

  “I thought…you said you’d torture them,” Ryker murmured.

  “Torturing is for pussies…we’re dogs, baby. Dogs don’t toy with their prey. Implant the fear then switch that shit up. We’re making sure they’re fed, clothed, and comfortable. These things take time.”

  Taking her hair down, she raked her fingers through it and put it back up. “I need another hour to train with the women. Desiree set up a children’s group separately.”

  She stepped close to her Mates. “Training I’ll give our children one day.” Leaning up, she kissed them with a soft sigh. “Shower, eat, and handle whatever business you’ve neglected. I’ll fill you in on the team tracking Hope later.”

  As her trainees filed from the house, she greeted them with a smile. “Let’s get back to work. We have a lot of ground to cover but you’re picking things up beautifully.”

  Gesturing to Desiree, she added, “We were talking about evasion. Ways to break free of any hold no matter the size or strength of your attacker.”

  Her Second turned around and Harmony stretched her backwards over her knee. “Let’s begin.”

  * * *

  Ryker walked inside, his mind blown. Jax’s eyes were huge.

  They entered the master suite and his friend paused just inside the door with a look of confusion.

  “Jax, you live here now. I wouldn’t attempt to change it. She’s a little…unpredictable, our Mate.”

  “I don’t…”

  “Let’s grab your shit. There’s plenty of room in the closet.”

  They faced one another for a full minute in silence. “Ryker. Are you sure about this?”

  “She makes me happy. You’re my best friend and she makes you happy. I love you like a brother and we’ve shared women since we were seventeen. She loves us, she needs us, and it’s no hardship to give her what she wants.”

  “It feels good to be here.”

  Ryker grinned and threw his arm around the leaner man’s shoulders. “Let’s get the rest of your shit before Harmony gets back and asks why we didn’t do it yet.”

  Laughing, they got to work.

  * * *

  They found their Mate at a long table in Ryker’s office two hours later. Harmony was placing blue dots on a map of the United States.

  She had a frown on her face and stepped back to examine it from further away. To herself, she murmured, “You clever bitch.”

  Rhonda entered behind them and nodded at the males before walking around to Harmony. “Alpha, the prisoner will be here shortly. They dealt with an attack by unknown Were males three hours outside of our territory.”

  “Did you tag them?”

  “One of the Weres and the vehicle they were driving.”

  “Excellent. Fill in your Alpha and his Second while I finish marking her trail since yesterday.”

  Rhonda turned to them. “The night Alpha Harmony brought down the Daemons, she asked me to search for a specific hotel. She’d connected to Hope and glimpsed a logo on the wall behind her.”

  “You found it?” Ryker asked.

  “Yes, Alpha. We dispatched a team. They captured one of the hunters following Hope Kassis. They were heading for the compound when several rogue males ambushed them. Your brother Byron was wounded but patched in the field. He’s fine, sir.”

  “Don’t tell our mother.”

  “Of course, Alpha.” She clasped her hands behind her. “We called in the Alpha of West Texas since he was the closest to the hotel in Arizona. Talon glimpsed Hope in person and has been in pursuit for almost thirty-six hours.”

  Ryker processed the information that one of the Regional Alphas in his Pack was involved in the pursuit of Harmony’s sister.

  “Did Harmony give instructions?”

  “Yes, Alpha. Talon is barely half an hour behind Hope. He was advised to fall back. Alpha Harmony gave instructions not to attempt to detain her but continue to report her movements and protect her back.”

  Jax glanced past Rhonda at Harmony. “You don’t want them to bring her to safety in Texas Pack?”

  Their Mate shook her head. “Hope isn’t running. She’s not hiding. She’s not following Dad’s training about mixing her trail. She’s been driving from Arizona since yesterday.”

  “Her destination, Mate?” Ryker asked quietly.

  “Montana Pack.” Both males growled and Harmony held up her hand. “My sister is gentler than me. She’s always loved reading more than training. That didn’t matter to our father.”

  Jax put his hands on his hips. “She’s still trained.”

  “Highly. She knows how to stay alive and there’s no way she’d return to our old Pack without a damn good reason. I’ve given Talon and his team my code phrase and the location where I believe she’ll exit Pack land. She’ll kill him otherwise. We can’t intercept her before she infiltrates. She’s not technically part of Texas Pack yet. It could start a war.”

  “Mate…” Ryker frowned.

  “She can defend herself and there’s something she wants badly from that compound.” Turning fully to them, she sighed heavily. “I believe she has a child.”

  “What?” Ryker whispered. “No…”

  “I don’t know the circumstances but I have to assume they aren’t good. As half-breeds, we don’t require a Mate to get pregnant until we carry a Mark. She’s written vengeance, family, and trust me on three different hotel room mirrors. She feels me, she knows I’m strong enough to connect again. It’s just flashes but enough.”

  Ryker nodded sharply. “What can we do?”

  Tossing the marker to the table, Harmony turned to them with a grin. “Prepare to meet my sister.” Winking, she added, “There’s about to be a whole lot more crazy in Texas Pack.”

  “I look forward to it, Mate.”

  Without looking away from Harmony, Jax said, “Rhonda, thank you for the briefing. Would you mind giving us the room? Close the door.”

  “Of course.” She attempted to hide her smile as she made a hasty retreat and pulled the door closed behind her.

  “The moon will be full in a few days, Mate,” Ryker said softly. “Will you Change and run with us?”

  “I haven’t Changed in a very long time. It would be an honor to run wild with my Mates.”

  “Harmony?” She looked at Jax. “Take off your clothes.”

  Tugging her lip between her teeth, she immediately did so. When she stood naked in front of them, she stretched.

  “You’re a powerful female. We’re clear on that now.”

  “Good.”

  Ryker added, “We moved Jax’s belongings into the master suite. It’s the right thing to do for all of us.”

  “That makes me happy.”

  They approached her, fully dressed, and boxed her in. Jax lifted her to the table and knelt in front of her. He began a soft lapping between her thighs.

  She buried her fingers in his hair. “That feels so good.”

  Ryker bent and licked over her nipples, sucking and nibbling them while he plumped the mounds in his palms.

  Gripping the back of her neck tightly, he claimed her mouth with barely banked aggression.

  When she moaned, he pulled back and stared into her eyes. His Wolf was dominant and he growled at her.

  “You’ll never remain happy with males who bend to your strength, Mate. From now on, you’re going to talk to us. You’re going to bring us into the loop. You’re going to get our help, our input, our muscle to carry out your devious plans.”

  “But…”

  He kissed her silent and Jax smoothed her slickness back to the tight pucker of her ass to her heavy pants. Pressing deep, he didn’t relent. A moment later, he added a second finger.

  She writhed between them, trying to get closer to Jax’s mouth and devour Ryker’s lips.

  Her Alpha broke the kiss and said, “You’ll include us in every aspect of your life, Mate. You may be smarter and better trained but we won’t be kept
in the dark. Do you understand?”

  Frowning, she started to explain her reasoning but he kissed her again. Jax went to clean his hands before returning to her and pulling his cock from his jeans. He pushed deep into her pussy and went still.

  Ryker met her eyes again. “Tell me you understand how this shit is going to go, Harmony. Tell me you understand that you belong to us as fully as we belong to you.”

  “It isn’t necessary to include you in everyth…”

  “Hush.” She went silent in surprise when he succeeded in compelling her. “You’re accustomed to being alone, Harmony. For years, you’ve been without Pack.” He leaned close and growled menacingly. “You’re no longer without Pack. Every decision that affects the men, women, and children of this Pack will receive input from myself and my Second. Are we clear?”

  She snapped her teeth and he smiled.

  “That won’t work this time, Mate. This time, there won’t be any fighting. We’re going to fuck you until you can’t walk. Until you can’t see. Until you can’t think. Perhaps then, you’ll understand that you’re not the only one in this Mating with methods of persuasion.”

  Jax lifted her roughly, gripping her tight as he fucked her almost painfully hard. He walked to the couch and sat with her, pushing up from below and making her drop her head back on her shoulders.

  Ryker removed his cock and pressed the head to Harmony’s ass. “Jax prepared you some but there will be pain, Mate.” She nodded, already reaching for him. “Harmony.” She looked over her shoulder. “This time, you will submit.”

  Shoving deep into her ass, they fucked her in tandem. They showed no mercy, gave her no time to breathe, and rocked her into one orgasm after another.

  At her ear, he rumbled, “Fucking you takes everything I have. Every minute is a fight not to come, not to fill up your hot holes with my seed. Your ass is smooth, hot, tight. Do you want me to coat it for you, Harmony?”

  “Yes…”

  “Do you want Jax to fill your pretty pussy?”

  “So badly…”

  “We’re going to pump you full. Knot you and fill you up.”
