When the Geisterwolf's back paw slipped off the edge of the cliff, Lukas could see in its eyes that it knew what was going to happen. It jumped forward, clamping its jaws onto Will's scruff even as the other Alpha threw his weight onto it one last time. The Geisterwolf fell backward, dragging Will with it.
Lukas jumped forward, latching onto Will's leg and yanked him back to safety. The Geisterwolf's grip loosened. The two Alphas tumbled back towards safety as the Ghost Wolf fell from the cliff, howling as it disappeared into the dark.
Behind them, Elena moaned. Lukas scrambled to his feet and rushed to her, Will close behind. They both Shifted and gathered her into their arms. Her eyes fluttered.
"You're both here," she whispered.
"Yes," Will said. He kissed her gently. "We're here."
A smile crossed her face, but she flinched. "I feel... strange. Something's different."
Lukas clutched her hand, worried eyes meeting Will's. Had they been too late after all?
Chapter Ten – Elena
She was getting used to running on all fours.
Elena dashed through the trees, Lukas on one side, Will on the other. Everything was more vivid when she was in this form. The smells, sounds, the feel of dirt beneath her paws. It took a lot to get used to, but with her two mates running on either side of her, she wouldn't trade it for anything. Lukas yipped happily at her, and she replied in the like, changing her trajectory slightly so that when she wagged her tail it brushed against his side.
When she first transformed, it had been terrifying for all of them. It had happened involuntarily; things were getting heated between the three of them, lying in bed swapping kisses, and suddenly she was a Wolf. All three of them had been afraid that it meant that the Geisterwolf's mate was bound to her and would eventually take over her body again.
It didn't take much for them to find out what really happened. Xavier had already been researching the side-effects of Elena's brief possession and assured them that the Geisterwolf's mate was gone. Something had changed in Elena's biology, though, in order to accommodate her during the brief moment when the ghost had inhabited her body. That change had stayed, and with a little practice, she found herself after to Shift at will into a rusty-brown Wolf.
And now she was able to run with her mates whenever she wanted to.
Will barked at her and Lukas before putting on a burst of speed. Elena fought the urge to roll her eyes as she and Lukas kept their steady pace. He was faster than both of them, and he liked to show it off. By the time Elena and Lukas got to their destination, a beautiful, open lake, he had already Shifted again. He floated on his back, buck naked. Lukas Shifted as well and jumped into the water, but Elena sat down on the shore to admire them for a bit.
They were both beautiful specimens. Strong bodies, built differently but neither really more attractive than the other one. And neither of them were making decisions about her without her anymore. They had even discussed the original agreement that they had had–that she would have Will's children first–and both had agreed with her when she said that they'd leave it up to fate. Elena was certain that it wasn't a big deal to either of them anymore, anyway.
Of course, in order to have children, certain things had to happen first. Elena felt a tight stirring in her loins as she considered it. It had been a conscious decision to abstain from sex for the time being. With everything that had happened, it was a roller-coaster and Elena wanted to be able to focus all her energy on her first time. She didn't want to be worried about turning into a Wolf.
But she could control it now.
She Shifted and plunged into the water with her two Alphas. The water was pleasantly cool, and her boys were quick to pull her into deeper water, to where she could barely touch but they were still well above the waterline. Lukas pulled her onto his hip and grinned down at her.
"Are you happy?"
Elena nodded. "I've never been happier."
And it was true. Bad things had happened, yes, but facing down the Geisterwolf had given her the courage to face her father as well. She finally put her foot down and stopped him from treating her as if she owed him everything. She didn't. It was his job as her father to take care of her as she grew up, and she had been giving him next to free labor since the time she was sixteen–and free labor from when she was twelve. If it wasn't for her, he never would have built his company in the first place.
So, with that in mind, she had insisted on becoming a partner in the business. She already did most of the administration anyway, but now she had the power to not only get paid for the work she was doing but also hire people to help her with it. She also had a fee from the company dedicated to paying off the mortgage on the piece of land that had been given to her father by Lukas's father.
All in all, life was good.
"Almost sundown," Elena said, letting her dark hair soak into the cool water. "It's going to get cold. We ought to do something to keep warm."
At just her words, both of her Alphas took on desirous looks. Elena could feel how Lukas took her meaning, and she laughed. It came out more nervous than she intended, but she didn't really care. She had been looking forward to this for such a long time. And now she was ready.
"Are you saying it's time to do the mating part of being mates?" Will asked, gripping her hips under the water.
Elena nodded. She reached for his hand, and when she found it, he guided her to another part of his body. Her eyes nearly bugged out of her hand. They got ready fast! Another nervous giggle. She hid her face in Lukas' shoulder, giggling like mad.
"I'm sorry. I don't know what's gotten into me."
"I know what's about to get into you," Will growled in her ear. He brushed up against her, making her moan. "So… have you ever had sex in a lake before?"
Lukas shifted her to his other hip and frowned at Will. "We discussed this."
"Excuse me?" Elena narrowed her eyes at them. "What have you decided behind my back again?"
"Only that we were going to set the proper mood. And bring lots of lubricants. So we could… you know. Both have you at the same time. So neither of us feels left out. If that's okay with you, of course. The biggest thing was that we didn't want to pressure you."
"Pressure me, please!"
Will didn't need any encouragement. He spun Lukas around so he could steal her from him. He parted her thighs and spread them over his hips. The water splashed around them as he ground himself against her. Not to be undone, Lukas quickly took up a spot behind her and crushed her between his body and Will's. He began kissing her neck, nibbling at her sensitive skin. Will dove into her other side, his huge hands spreading her ass as he supported her. Lukas slid a hand around her body and between her thighs.
"Oh!" Elena let her head fall back, gasping her breath as her body bucked between them. There wasn't any room for her to go anywhere, but her movement made both of them groan. Pleasure coursed through her, leaving her breathless.
It was more than enough for Lukas. Elena felt him pressing against her. Another gasp escaped her as he slowly made his way in. There as a bit of pain, but it felt so good that she didn't mind. Her grip tightened on Will, her fingers digging into his shoulders. His mouth caught hers as Lukas drove home. A shock of mingled pain and pleasure had her crying out. Lukas rested his head against her and sighed in ecstasy.
"This is as better than I ever imagined."
Elena felt her cheeks warm as she remembered Lukas telling her that he, too, was a virgin. This was a first for both of them… actually, all three of them. Will had never shared a woman like this before. His entrance was slower than Lukas' was, and it was a good thing, too… Elena grasped and scrambled at both of them, tears pricking her eyes. It hurt, but it felt so, so good that she didn't know how to deal with it. Both of the Alphas held her gently, waiting until she adjusted.
Will took the lead and began to move. Lukas followed, matching his rhythm in an alternating fashion. Elena felt like her heart was about to stop. It
felt too good for her to breathe, and she was helpless to the waves of pleasure that washed over her.
She didn't last long. The ripples of pleasure grew to a head until she couldn't hold it in. She threw her head back and howled, every muscle in her body tensing. Lukas followed her, and Will came last of all. They sagged against each other, dipping low in the water. Elena's eyes grew droopy. The tension in her muscles eased away.
"Amazing," Lukas whispered. "Can anything be better than that?"
"There is," Will said. "With practice and as we get to know each other better. But for now… I have to say I have never been happier."
"Me, either," Elena said. She grinned. "And it is only going to get better from here."
