Then there was the whole question of what would happen after the tourist season at the castle ended. Would he go back to working for the Alpha of the Mountains, and swear allegiance to him? It was obvious he was never going to end up in the human world, so he needed to take his place as a man in the shape-shifter world. Or should he stay in the castle where Kady hoped to work and swear allegiance to the Alpha of Werewolf Castle? The two Alphas worked very closely together a lot of the time, but what if they ended up supporting different candidates for Supreme Alpha? What if all the trouble and hassle ended up in their own backyard and he was stuck on a different team from his brothers? How the fuck would that work if they wanted to mate the same woman? Ugh. It was too complicated to even think about right now.
Uwe took the outside position as they climbed into bed, resting up on an elbow to gaze at Kady’s relaxed body, tucked between his brothers. Then he rolled onto his back so he could continue watching her in the mirror in the ceiling.
He woke several times during the night as various people pushed off the bedding or turned over. But basically both his brothers were sleeping heavily, and he began to understand how exhausted they must be from the constant guard duty up at Big Rock, endlessly taking turns to patrol the plateau even at night. He hoped Konstantin’s team was finding everything up there silent and peaceful, and found himself grinning at the thought of the Alpha of Vojvodina’s men being returned to him naked and sunburned.
He found himself wishing that the entire situation was over, and wondered if there was any way of ensuring the most capable leader got the job. He shrugged. It was probably self-regulating. If an incompetent person got in he’d fail and get kicked out soon enough. But fuck. I just wish it was all over so we could get back to normal again.
It was still early when he woke up, but knowing he was likely the least tired of them all, he bustled around having his shower, getting dressed for work, and checking they’d packed up all their things. His brothers woke one after the other and got ready. Finally they all kneeled on the bed and woke Kady. Dom kissed her mouth, Stefan her breasts, and Uwe her cunt.
She woke quickly and completely, muttering, “Oh yes. Yes there. A little to the left. Oh yes. Yes.”
As her cream started to pour from her, Uwe bit her clit and she shattered. “Oh fuck yes. It’s amazing watching the mirror as it’s happening.”
Uwe’d guessed she found the mirrors arousing. She’d stared into them a lot last night. But sucking on her clit had made him think along different lines. “Have you ever considered getting a piercing? An intimate piercing?” he asked.
“You mean my nipples?” she asked touching one with her finger as she stared into his face.
“And even your clit,” he said, watching for her reaction.
Her face flushed pink. “Actually, yes, I have. But I’d only do it with someone I trusted completely.”
“I’ll find that someone for you. Two nipples and one clit. One piercing to represent each of us. It’s the best arrangement ever,” said Dom.
“I’ll choose some special jewelry for you to wear. I know there’s rules about intimate jewelry. I’ll read up on them first,” added Stefan.
“Had you three organized this already?” Kady asked, sitting up and looking in their faces, instead of in the mirror.
“Absolutely not. I only thought of it right then when I was sucking your clit,” said Uwe.
“It just seems so perfect. Three piercings and three of us,” added Dom.
“Okay, you can plan it, then.” Kady climbed off the bed and disappeared into the bathroom.
Stefan opened the closet, got out the coffeepot, and began making them all some coffee, and Uwe turned on the television only to find it streamed porn, not the local news channel. Porn would have been great last night, but it wasn’t a good idea right now when he was about to go to work, so he turned it off again.
When Kady came out of the bathroom, Uwe’s heart turned over. She was so beautiful. He did love her. More than he could ever imagine. There was no way he could live without her.
Dom asked, “Kady, if I book a dungeon tomorrow night, will you play a scene with us?”
Uwe held his breath until she gave one sharp nod. But he noticed the blush was staining her cheeks again. She liked that idea. Good.

Kady spent the day in an endless round of baking, steaming, cooking, and sorting foodstuffs. It seemed as though the past few days her head had been in the mountains with what was happening there, and now there was so much she needed to do in the Castle Kitchen. She loved every aspect of her job from choosing menus, testing recipes, meal preparation, to seeing satisfied customers clean their plates of the meal she’d helped make.
That night as she sat in the priests’ house with the other human women, she asked, “Is there any way we can find out what’s happening with the choosing of a Supreme Alpha for Europe? Is there, like, a werewolf Twitter feed or something?”
Damask laughed. “Grigori’s on top of that. As resident social media geek he makes sure he knows what’s happening. But I think each of the Alphas concerned is busy trying to keep his own numbers hidden while hoping to find out everyone else’s.”
“Someone would know how many people went to the Izmir meeting with the Alpha of Turkey though, and whose pack they came from,” said Tatiana.
“That’s right.” Kady had forgotten all about that. But the meeting hadn’t been all that long ago. At least she didn’t think it had. “When was that meeting?” she asked.
Tatiana shook her head. “I never knew the date. The messenger just said ‘next month.’ Which, of course, is now last month.”
“I wonder if that’s what’s gotten the Alpha of Vojvodina all stirred up? He’s had a finger in every pie since the old Supreme died and you can be sure he had spies in Izmir. Maybe he thinks with one or two more supporters he’ll win. That could be why he wants the Alpha of the Mountains and the Alpha of Werewolf Castle on his side, even though they don’t belong to the Werewolf Association,” said Anastasia.
Kady was frowning. That was one thing that really didn’t make any sense to her. “How can their votes be important if they don’t belong to the association? I mean, they wouldn’t even get a vote at all, would they?”
“The way I understand it is that everyone knows these packs exist, and that they’re well organized, well run, and would be an asset to the association. Therefore they’d be accepted in a heartbeat if they applied. So it’d be extra kudos to whoever brought them into the association as well as an extra vote of course,” said Anastasia.
“Weird,” said Tatiana shaking her head. “Totally weird.”
It made sense though. Werewolf Castle was a profitable business, able to support an entire large pack. The mountain wolves were much more individual in their endeavors, but they were all managing well. They had various small businesses running, some farming, some had jobs on the mountain, some just worked for the Alpha. But there was no one on the mountain unable to feed their family or to send their children to school. There was no poverty as such, although many of the mountain people lived in small homes without a lot of luxuries. But it was mostly by choice. They liked the simpler lifestyle. Why build a swimming pool when there were so many pristine lakes and rivers to swim in practically on their doorstep?
Kady got up from the table and raided the refrigerator. She’d made some chocolate cinnamon bread only a day ago and had brought a loaf here for her friends to taste test. Not that it was exactly medieval. Chocolate didn’t arrive in Europe until Christopher Columbus brought it to Spain in 1528. It wasn’t used in bread and cakes until 1674. But still, she thought it might be useful as a concluding item at the banquets as long as the timeline was clearly explained. If it tasted okay. And her friends were the ideal audience.
She put the bread on a plate, then put it and a cup of water in the microwave oven for thirty seconds, before carrying it over to the table. She handed the bread and a knife to Damask,
then collected plates and butter and brought them across to the table.
“It smells amazing. What is it?” asked Tatiana.
Kady explained about the bread and waited while everyone ate a piece. Damask immediately began cutting a second slice for everyone. Kady took that as approval. But soon the conversation returned to the issue of the Supreme Alpha.
“Who are we barracking for? Who do we want to win?” asked Tatiana.
“The new Alpha of Vienna said the old Supreme thought the Alpha of Denmark was the only man who’d be able to control everyone properly,” said Damask slowly.
“Yeah, that’d be right. We’ve seen and heard plenty about the Alpha of Turkey and the Alpha of Vojvodina. There’s been talk also of the Alphas of France and Germany. But not one word about the Alpha of Denmark,” said Anastasia grumpily.
“Tomorrow I think I’ll go talk to Leonie. She might know more. She lived in Vienna until she came here with Brody and Roman,” said Damask.
“Invite her to visit with us. Tell her Kady will bake her some chocolate cinnamon bread,” said Tatiana licking her fingers.

It had taken Dom the two full days to get everything organized, but he’d achieved all his aims. Stefan, too, had needed to travel to a much bigger town to complete his part of the scene. Since the original idea had been Uwe’s, the fact that he was working all day and unable to help in the preparations didn’t mean he was excluded. The original idea had been his, and the credit for coming up with such a brilliant, erotic, and totally appropriate idea would always be his. Three men, three piercings, and all of them designed to enhance Kady’s sexual pleasure. Nothing could be sexier, or more romantic, than that.
Of course, it was still possible Kady would change her mind, and that was her right. None of them would ever force her to do anything she didn’t want to do. But Dom was convinced this would seal their relationship. If they all continued to wait until everyone had no second thoughts or worries they’d never get married. Nothing in life came with a guarantee. However, they would all promise to love and protect her forever. That was all a man—or a wolf—could ever do. Dom was sure, though, that between them they would make her happy, content, and that would be his goal in life. To ensure she was always the center of their world, no matter what the various wolf packs were doing.
He and Stefan were waiting for Uwe and Kady when they left work. The cooks were later than usual and the cleaning crew had already finished cleaning the courtyard. They’d used leaf blowers to “sweep” the dust into piles and brushed up the piles. The ancient stone paving was so uneven, sweeping with brooms would take a very long time and be quite inefficient, whereas leaf blowers made the entire job easy. The courtyard was very large yet the crew of four men was all done in under half an hour.
Even after a hard day’s work she was still beautiful. A little tired, a little sweaty, but she still made Dom’s heart beat faster. And when she smiled at him his dick fought to get out of his pants and into her where it belonged. For the first time ever he walked up to her, hugged her, and kissed her on the lips in public. To him it was a statement that they belonged together and no one could keep them apart.
Then he stepped back but held her gaze with his. “Answer me honestly, Kady. Are you prepared to have three piercings tonight? One in your clitoral hood and the others in your nipples? One for each of us?”
“Tonight? I hadn’t really thought about doing it so soon. Yes, I’m prepared to get it done, yes, it’s what I want, but I haven’t bought the jewelry or found a person who…You have though, haven’t you? That’s your plan for tonight.”
“Stefan searched out the jewelry as he promised, and I’ve booked a woman who specializes in female genital piercing. I don’t want just anyone touching our woman. But you can still say no. It’s what we three want but the choice is always yours. The choice for everything we do will always be yours.”
Kady’s eyes were sparkling and the edges of her mouth were turned up. Dom relaxed, knowing she truly agreed and wasn’t just saying it to placate them. “I’ll go get our piercer from the outer courtyard. Ion will let us in to the dungeons.” The private areas of the castle had strict security and none of them had ID cards that would allow them into the werewolves’ private dungeons. Workers were given cards that only permitted them into the areas they needed to access for their jobs. Anastasia and her two men, Ion and Evan, regularly used the dungeons and when Dom had been approved to book a dungeon for tonight, he’d asked Ion to unlock the doors for them.
Dom hurried out of the castle swiping his card at the turnstiles, then paced into the parking lot. An older woman with gray hair was leaning against the fender of a small car. “Alva?” he asked.
She smiled and handed him a business card, then unlocked the trunk of her car and took out a briefcase.
He slowed his steps to her speed, swiping his ID card again to allow them through the turnstiles and into the inner courtyard, then into the building itself. Ion was waiting for him at the door to the east tower and swiped open the entry to the dungeons.
“Thanks so much, Ion.”
“Have a good night,” Ion said with a cheeky grin.
Dom was tempted to answer back but was too much on edge about his plans for the evening. The four of them would be united together forever, he was sure of that, and tonight’s piercings would be the symbol. Well assuming Kady didn’t change her mind at the last minute, although she was not a flighty type of woman. She knew what she wanted and worked to achieve her goals. Oh shit, he loved her so much. Wanted her so badly.
Uwe was waiting outside their dungeon, holding the door a fraction ajar. Once it shut only someone with a keycard could open it from the outside. He noticed Uwe had filled in the clipboard hanging from the door saying it was in use until midnight. That was likely too late for Kady and Uwe but it was better to book it for longer than they’d need than to have someone burst in on them, he guessed.
He ushered Alva inside, then Uwe, and locked the door behind them. Dom took a deep breath. He was so close to achieving all his goals, the tension was killing him, but he needed to be patient just a little while longer.
Alva waked straight across the room to Kady and shook her hand. “My name’s Alva, my dear. Do you, of your own free will, request a clitoral hood piercing, and the piercing of both your nipples?”
Kady’s voice was firm. “Yes, I do. It’s something I’ve thought about for over a year, and it seems so very right to do it now.”
“Do you understand that you must use protection, even for oral sex, until it’s completely healed? That’ll be six weeks, maybe even eight weeks.”
“I understand.”
“Gentlemen?”
“We agree,” said Dom. Stefan just nodded but Uwe said, “I’d never do anything to endanger Kady’s health.”
“In that case perhaps you’d like to undress, my dear.”
Kady crossed the dungeon and stepped out of her work clothes, leaving them by the wall. As she did that, Alva opened her briefcase, taking out antiseptic swabs, some tubes, and latex gloves.
When Kady rejoined them, naked, Uwe stepped behind her, holding her pressed back against him. “I’ll support you,” he said, kissing the side of her neck.
Alva put the gloves on then cleaned all around Kady’s clit before rolling the first tube between her gloved hands. “I’m warming it. The first piercing will be of your clitoral hood. Usually this hurts less than getting an ear pierced,” she said.
Dom wanted to watch Kady being pierced, but he also wanted to watch her face, to be sure she was coping with it all right. The exact moment the syringe or whatever it was inside the tube pierced the little piece of skin Alva was holding, Kady’s body didn’t flinch and she certainly didn’t say anything. Dom allowed himself to breathe a little more freely.
Stefan was holding out a jewelry box to Alva. The woman carefully cleansed the tiny barbell, before inserting it through Kady’s clitoral hood. She stood up and s
tared assessingly at Kady before saying, “Are you ready to do the nipples?”
“Yes. That didn’t hurt very much at all.”
Alva repeated her actions of before, cleansing the area, warming the tube, holding Kady’s flesh between her fingers, before she pierced the left nipple horizontally. Once again Stefan offered the jewelry box and Alva cleaned the barbell before inserting it. She didn’t say anything to Kady, although she looked hard at her, before repeating the process with the right nipple.
Briskly the woman packed up her equipment. Once again she stood and stared at Kady. “Have you any questions, my dear?”
“How long before I can have sex?”
Stefan gave a tiny snort that he tried to cover with a cough. Dom just waited for the woman to answer. He knew the answer, having asked that same question when he arranged for her to come tonight.
“Some people suggest you wait a day or two, but my belief is that sex may even help speed up the healing. All those endorphins being released you see. But remember to use latex for any exchange of body fluids until you’re completely healed.”
Dom escorted Alva through the castle, across the inner courtyard and out through the barbican to her car. “Thank you, very much. I truly appreciate that you were willing to come here tonight,” he said.
“I must come back in business hours and see the castle. It looks very interesting. Call me if you ever need me again.” She climbed into her vehicle.
Dom watched her leave the courtyard, then made his way back to the dungeon. Sex might help her heal faster, huh? Well, he could certainly go with that plan. They’d give her so many orgasms she’d set a world record speed for healing.
* * * *
Kady was stretched out on her back on a spanking bench, her arms and legs spread wide. A pile of gloves, condoms, and dental dams rested beside her and Uwe was already gloved. It appeared that her men were going to take Alva’s advice literally and fuck her to healing. Well, she had no problem with that. Her nipples stung a bit, but her clitoral hood didn’t hurt at all, and the pressure of the tiny barbell on her clit was making her as horny as hell. She was more than ready to be fucked.
