  “Adrienne, I love you, but I’m not Wilder. I will have you tonight,” Lycell says.

  “And do you think that Drayton will let you near me?”

  “Drayton will not interfere if you choose me.”

  “Well I will have something to say about that and you’re not my choice.” Lycell stands and places his hand on Adrienne’s wrist. Adrienne gazes up at him. She’s not welcoming his advances. Lycell isn’t used to having his sexual life dictated by one woman. Normally he would have gone on to another woman. If he didn’t want a litter of his own pups, he would have settled for the many werefemales waiting for him to give him what he needed, but now he’s bound to this female and he doesn’t know how to tear away from her if he wanted.

  Lycell turned and Adrienne followed his gaze. “I have to go, Adrienne. I’m not going to beg you. I don’t have that to do. I can find what I need if you don’t give it to me.” Obviously things had changed in just that small time of her being away. Lycell has reverted back to his old ways.

  Leaving to take his son to the nurse, he stepped aside as Mena walked into the kitchen, and then he disappeared.

  Adrienne stood. “I’m so happy to see you Mena.” They hugged and then they both sat. “What is wrong, Mena?”

  “Didn’t Wilder tell you?”

  “Maybe. He said something about the Alaska pack and the Oregon pack merging. I thought he brought me back because he was jealous of my time with Drayton and that was just an excuse to get us home.”

  “It’s probably that, but Wilder’s status as the head Alpha has been threatened. All the Samsas are threatened including Hunter and Devin.”

  “I thought he had that under control especially since my sons were coming of age.”

  “There’s still not enough young werewolves in this pack to handle the old fighting wolves in my father’s pack. When my father found out that Drayton and I had fooled him and Wilder giving me and Robert refuge, he’s determine to destroy the Samsas and their offspring.”

  Adrienne listened with dread in her heart. She can’t do much to help him and when he was looking for solace she put him off. Wilder must be in torment, Adrienne thought. He has a great duty to his brothers and children and the packs to keep the peace. He and his brothers have inherited a vast fortune, and the responsibilities that go with being the Alpha over all werewolves.

  Adrienne didn’t want to concentrate on her problems, she wanted to hear good news. “How was your honeymoon?” she asked Mena.

  “Robert and I went to a resort in the desert southwest, laid around, soaked up the sun, made passionate love, and then it came to an abrupt end when he received a call from Lycell saying that he was needed at home. That’s why we’re here, too.”

  “Nothing is wrong with my children?” Adrienne stands poised to run up the stairs.

  “Of course not.” Mena smiles at Adrienne and raises her eyes and Adrienne sees that she is bursting to tell her something. Something important and cheerful. She needs good news especially since she has been bombarded by Wilder and Lycell with their obvious fits of jealousy.

  “We’re going to have a baby. I mean it’s going to be a lot of pups, maybe four or five.”

  “Who? What?” Adrienne’s hands cups her mouth in surprise.

  “Robert and I are going to have a baby or some babies.” Mena was happy to repeat it as she held her stomach with both hands.

  “Are you sure? How is that even possible? I thought you were sterile.”

  “Of course I’m sure. Robert had been giving me this experimental drug he had been working on, and now I’m pregnant.”

  “Does Wilder know?”

  “Not yet. We had just returned a few hours before you and Drayton.” Adrienne stood reminding herself that she had to find Drayton.

  “I haven’t seen Drayton since we returned from Hawaii. Have you see him anywhere?”

  “I spotted him headed for his mother’s shed in the back of the stables. It’s on the path I take from our cottage near the hospital.”

  “I know where it’s located,” Adrienne said leaving in a hurry. She walked out to the back of the house, pass the stables, the kennels, took a right around the hospital, and up the hill to the shed. She could see a dim light coming from the small house. The grounds were fairly lit and she wasn’t in any danger because the dogs were safely in their kennels. Most of the dogs were used to guard the vast lands and forests surrounding the area. But with Wilder, Drayton, and Lycell home, there was no need for the domesticated dogs. Some of the pups were kept to provide companionship to her children.

  At first Adrienne hesitated before entering the small shed. Why should she hesitate, after all she and Drayton had been friends before lovers? She could discuss anything with him more so than with Lycell or Wilder.

  The weathered door creaked opened. She looked around and saw Drayton lying on the day bed that had once been for his mother to rest on. He had lit a fire in the small fireplace and the shed was warm and comfortable. There was a rocker in front of the fire and a large wool rug that covered the entire length of the small room. To the left of her was a bookshelf and garden tools.

  “What’s wrong, Drayton?”

  “You shouldn’t be here.”

  “I can be wherever my husband is,” she said standing looking down on Drayton as he lay with his back to her. Adrienne knew Drayton was always the sensitive one. He had been so happy in Hawaii and then Wilder had to come and ruin it for them.

  “The night air is chilly here in the valley. We can still get a sudden snow storm this time of year.” Adrienne sat on the edge of the bed and then she climbed in with him. “Go back to your children. Wilder and Lycell need you.”

  “My babies are sleeping and the boys are teenagers now. And as far as Lycell and Wilder, they can wait. You need me more.” On those words Drayton turned to face Adrienne.

  “Do you love me?”

  “More than you will ever know, Drayton.”

  “Will you still see me the same way if I can’t get you pregnant?”

  “What makes you think that? There’s no reason for you to believe that I won’t be pregnant for you.”

  “But what if I’m infertile.”

  “Mena thought she was sterile and she’s pregnant. Robert was working on an experimental serum and he gave it to Mena and now she’s pregnant.” Adrienne recounts with a cheerful voice.

  “But does it work only on females? Men are different. Werewolves are a complete different species.”

  “I don’t know. But there’s nothing wrong with you that love can’t cure.” Adrienne reaches down placing her hand on Drayton’s penis. She massages it and then Drayton turns and lay on his back, and with one hand he raised her to lie across his chest straddling his waist. He’s looking at her with the widest grin as she works feverishly to unzip his pants.

  Then Adrienne unleashes his large hard cock. She raises her dress and pulls her panties down to her ankles and squats close enough where the crown of his penis is close to the edge of her opening. With a downward motion she has it at the rim of her tender opening, and it burst through when she sits down on it. She moans. Her mouth opens and her head shoots backward. The feeling is heavenly. She is taking all of him in her inch by inch and she is enjoying it.

  He whimpers into her mouth as she leans forward and kisses him.

  Drayton’s large hands are holding on to her breasts as she straddles him and moves in the upward and downward motion taking in and releasing his large cock over and over. Their bodies are following the same rhythm.

  “Oh Adrienne, you are mine for life. I will never have another woman ever.” Adrienne’s dress is pulled up around her waist and Drayton’s finger massages her clit as he raises his hips into to her and she moves up and down with quick plunging motions.

  “Adrienne, I can’t hold it much longer. Come with me. I need to feel your warm juice mingle with mine. I feel that this time is it. I will get you pregnant.” She leans forward, her nipples fall in his
mouth. He sucks them slow and then hard.

  Drayton holds her close as Adrienne arches her back. She flexes and moves her hips in a circular motion pushing her mound deep into his body. She throws her head back and her mouth opens and her eyes close. His cock grows larger still and her muscles tightens around it. He groans with pleasure, his hands tense around her and his heated juice flows quickly. Drayton fills Adrienne and she draws the come from his body. “I’m coming Drayton,” she says in a small whisper in his ear.

  Then Adrienne falls forward exhausted, and she lay relaxed in his arms, her head resting on his wide muscular chest, until the red weathered wooden door swings open with a bang. She turns and Drayton pushes her behind him to cover her nakedness. Adrienne’s eyes focus on the door. Maybe she hadn’t closed it. Maybe the nurse was searching for her, and Mena informed her where she had gone to.

  Adrienne knew that it couldn’t be anyone else. But if it was the nurse, why didn’t she knock? Why burst into a private place unannounced? The last thing she thought was that it would be Wilder or Lycell. After all she had made it perfectly clear that she was not to be disturbed when she was with Drayton.

  Chapter 4

  “So that’s where you’ve gone.”

  “This is ridiculous, Lycell. Why were you looking for me?” Drayton said glaring at Lycell standing in the doorway. Lycell is regarding the two of them. He views Adrienne; longing for her touch with greedy sensuous brown sharp wolf eyes. Lycell’s blank and heated look at a half-naked Adrienne is unnerving her. Her breasts and taut nipples are falling out of the unbuttoned dress, which she’s frantically trying to button, but her panty is hanging from one leg and down at her ankles.

  Drayton is lying with his hands behind his head, relaxed, with an obvious satisfied smirk on his lips. Lycell’s glare is telegraphing his feelings. He has a dull ache of desire running rampant through his body. He wants Adrienne and he wants her now.

  Lycell’s werewolf self sees Drayton’s taking of Adrienne as a threat and challenge. But then, given the nature of Lycell, everything and everyone is a threat when he desires a woman, and his desire for Adrienne is burning red hot and insatiable.

  “I wasn’t searching for you, Drayton. It’s her I’m looking for, and I find you sleeping with him. I thought you would have had enough of him by now. He’s nothing like me. He can’t raise the passion in you and satisfy you the way I can and will.” Lycell takes a step closer to the day bed. Drayton isn’t unnerved by him, but finds him comical. It’s good to see the great lover of females unhinged by his wife.

  “How do you know that I don’t want to be treated gentle, kind, and thoughtful? Every woman wants that,” Adrienne says spitting out her words making Lycell angrier if that were possible. She leans down and kisses Drayton on the lips. Drayton wraps his muscular arms around her and releases her when she pulls away. If she had kissed Lycell with a warm loving kiss, he would have kept her in his grip until he was satisfied, and it would take a lot to satisfy him.

  “You know the moon is full, and I’m in heat, and either you are mine tonight, or I will have to go someplace else to find my comfort.” Drayton is watching at Lycell with a furrowed brown and raised eyebrow. He’s definitely angry, but he’s trying to resist the wolf inside of him, which is becoming hard to control with every disrespectful word falling from Lycell’s mouth.

  “Why wouldn’t you expect me to be with Drayton? He’s my husband.” She holds on to Drayton and gives him another kiss, and then she glances up at a disturbed Lycell. He growls at each kiss Adrienne plants on Drayton’s mouth.

  Adrienne wants to punish him for being possessive since he knew that this wasn’t a part of their contract. But since she had his male pups, he has become more possessive than ever.

  “You have nothing to say to me, Drayton.” Lycell’s tone is challenging, his amber eyes burning with possessiveness. “This is between me and Adrienne,” Lycell says making a move where Adrienne lays.

  “I have plenty to say to you. Adrienne is my wife, and it’s her decision who she wants to sleep with tonight, not yours.” Adrienne tries to adjust her underwear and pulls her dress down which is wrapped around her waist as Lycell watches at her. He’s noticeably heated and irritable.

  “Why are you doing that now? I have seen you nude with my cock in your mouth,” Lycell says to a furious Adrienne.

  Drayton fuming, pushes Adrienne to the side of the bed, and stands zipping his pants. He walks over and faces Lycell. “Enough! You’re not going to insult Adrienne because she wants to be with me.” Adrienne manages to pull up her panties and steps from the bed. She stands between the two.

  “Why would anyone want to be with you, Lycell? You don’t know how to treat a woman. You don’t respect women, and you don’t respect your brother,” Adrienne says stepping closer to Lycell.

  “That may be true, I may not know how to treat this human woman.” He looks down at Adrienne with disregard, and his thick eyebrows meeting. “But I do know how to treat a werefemale, and I don’t have to worry about her preferring another over me. When I take a werefemale, she’s mine. She doesn’t have another werewolf over me. I can take her when and where I want. She lives to satisfy me and my needs.”

  “Then I suggest you go and find yourself one,” Adrienne says locking eyes with Lycell. Lycell is immobile, silent, motionless, and shoots Adrienne a frozen devilish look. She doesn’t mean it. She tried to tell Wilder that this wouldn’t work out, yet he persisted, convincing her that in time Lycell would change.

  Lycell hasn’t changed he has gotten worse since Adrienne had his pups. Wilder assured her that the brothers would not have a problem sharing her. But that is far from the truth. What is true is that they all want her to want only them, and now that’s not going to happen, especially since she’s married to Drayton.

  The marriage has posed a threat to everyone and even to her children because now the brothers are no longer equal since she gave birth to Wilder’s pups and Lycell’s, but not Drayton. By not being pregnant for Drayton, it is presenting a problem she hadn’t anticipated. Drayton under the law has a right as her husband, but that’s not werewolves’ laws. Under werewolves’ laws, Adrienne mated with Wilder first, and had his pups. He supplants Drayton and Lycell, especially Drayton because he has yet to get her pregnant. Given all the upheaval and unrest among the Samsas because of Adrienne, it will take more time and a lot of patience on all their parts, but clearly time is running out for all of them.

  It is a hot mess and Adrienne can’t sort it out.

  “I’m going to find a woman that’s responsive to me and can satisfy my needs.” Lycell makes a step in Adrienne’s direction and Drayton steps in front of them. They eye each other as if they will tear each other apart.

  Lycell says, “It’s apparent you don’t think Wilder and I are equal to Drayton. You’re acting as if you prefer him to us. We are all Alpha males with one female and that may have to change.” Lycell’s dark eyebrows meet once again, and his brown eyes bristle with anger.

  “What is wrong with you, Lycell?” Adrienne moves from behind Drayton and stands facing Lycell and Drayton.

  “I know what’s wrong with him. Let him go,” Drayton says taking Adrienne’s hand and pulling her away when she attempts to get close to Lycell to touch his face.

  Lycell takes a hard look at Adrienne and turns quickly disappearing into the dark of the night. Adrienne steps in the doorway calling Lycell’s name. She wanted to reassure him that he was wrong and that she loved him equally.

  Standing in one place, Adrienne gazed long where Lycell had dashed. It was in the direction of the forest and snow covered mountains. Then Adrienne heard the loud call of a wolf. Not any wolf, it was the painful cry of a werewolf. A wolf who had lost his mate.

  “Come, we should be getting back. The way Lycell is behaving, he will be gone for a few days maybe a week.” Drayton took Adrienne’s hand, picked her up into his arms, and carried her to the ranch. He opened the door and set her
on her feet.

  They walked in through the kitchen, and as they were entering the hallway leading to the dining room, Wilder was ambling down the stairs as Adrienne was walking up. Wilder handsome as ever, dressed in a pair of jeans and a blue lumberjack shirt. She paused a moment to take in his manly beauty. His strong jaw line. His large shoulders and powerful arms and legs.

  He watched long at Drayton at the bottom of the stairs and his glance moved to Adrienne. He felt her. He smelled her as she passed, he thought of her in his arms when they first met, but he kept walking until he reached the bottom of the stairs.

  “I’m going to the cave for a week. I’m taking Hunter and Devin with me. They have gone on and will meet me there. I have to teach them about hunting, tracking, and fishing. I won’t be back for a week or two.”

  “Everyone is leaving, and I just returned,” Adrienne said turning to face them at the top of the stairs as she leaned over the railing.

  “You have Drayton,” Wilder says tilting his head in Drayton’s direction. “He doesn’t look like he wants to be far from you.” A quick closed grin is on Wilder’s lips. Wilder is visibly upset. “He doesn’t appear to want to do anything but trail behind you.” The tone of his voice is impertinent to both of them.

  “You and Lycell appear to be the ones who are taking this badly, Wilder. It was your idea for us to share Adrienne, and now you try to imply that I’m no longer a werewolf, but some kind of man that wants to be under a woman’s foot all the time,” Drayton’s voice is ill-humored and combative.

  They are eyeing each other and Adrienne is standing watching just so nothing will happen between them. That is the last thing she wants is to cause problems between the brothers.

  “You don’t see me hanging under Adrienne every minute.”

  “That’s because she won’t let you.” Wilder moves close to Drayton. Drayton is a foot taller than his elder brother.

  “Be careful how you talk to me. Just because you have married my mate, don’t think you can challenge me and win.”

  “No one is going to challenge anyone,” Adrienne interjects. “Drayton, I need your help with my babies. Let Wilder go and roam the woods. That’s what he’s good at.” Drayton turns to walk up the stairs.
