Hunters of the Gods 3_Pride of a Princess Read online

  “By the gods, she is incredible,” Lodge said and Toby, blue eyes squinted, hands tight over her wrists, lowered himself and sniffed her neck. It tickled and she shivered, then gasped, as more cream dripped from her cunt.

  “You are ours, mate. Don’t fight it.” He nipped her shoulder.

  “Don’t mark me. I don’t even know you. It isn’t right, or fair,” she said.

  “Right and fair does not exist when mating,” Corporal said as Toby lowered his mouth to hers and kissed her. They battled for control over that kiss, and the feel of his hard muscles and thick cock pressed against her had her body reacting. She thrust upward, rocking her hips, and he pressed down against her, nearly crushing her to the grass. She moaned into his mouth, and when he released her lips, she gasped for breath and then moaned some more as he took a taste of her breast and nipple. He licked, tugged, and sucked hard on her nipple, then lowered to the other side to do the same. The moment he lowered further and she lifted, Lodge gripped her hand on one side and Corporal gripped her other hand on the other side raising them above her head restraining her. She moaned louder, loving the feel of being restrained by both men. As her mind processed what she was about to allow to happen, Toby spread her thighs and began to feast on her. The first swipe of his tongue against her cunt made her gasp and then moan in pleasure. He licked her again, then plunged his tongue in deeply. She pushed her pelvis upward.

  “Oh!” She moaned and wiggled as fear of what was happening and what she felt so intensely attacked her body fully. It was just as powerful as in her wolf form, and it shocked her.

  “Easy, mate. We are going to make you feel so good. Your body is exceptional, your wolf glamorous and stunning. You are more than we could have hoped for in a mate,” Corporal said, holding her gaze. She was thrilled that they found her attractive in both wolf and human form. It was odd how she felt relieved, as if what they thought mattered. It did matter because they were her mates, and wolves mated for life. She inhaled his scent, and then the mating musk filtered through her senses and her body and she relaxed.

  That battle, that concern that she needed to wait, to not give in was disappearing. Could Alexandra be right? Could these men, her mates, aid in her need to seek revenge? Her mind and body were under the spell of the mating musk. Immediately giving into each grand sensation, and every caress and kiss from her three mates. She was losing the battle to resist. Was this her fate? Would she truly be able to count on them to help her? Could she still seek revenge alone, because now she would fear for their lives, as well? Confusion began to filter through her mind and resist the mating musk, but then Toby continued to explore with his mouth, and Lodge and Corporal with tongues and caresses. She weakened under their spell, under the depth for the desire she felt to claim them hers, as well.

  “That’s it, mate. By the gods, tonight is going to be just the beginning,” Lodge said and then licked along her nipple as Corporal pressed his mouth to hers and kissed her while Toby feasted on her cream.

  Every swipe of his tongue made this itch deep in her core grow stronger. She widened her thighs and tilted her hips so he could plunge his tongue deeper, and he did just that. She felt the change, the length of his tongue push into her cunt. The feel of Toby’s palm against her thigh as he raised it up over his shoulder so he had better access to her pussy drove her wild. She thrust against his tongue. He slurped and licked her cunt. It was overwhelming. He was big, muscular, and all wolf. She inhaled their combined scents, along with the mating musk that seemed to ease that tightness and fear that this wasn’t right, that the timing wasn’t correct.

  She moaned some more. She felt desperation, need like never before. She knew that the only thing that could ease that itch was their cocks. Her mates’ cocks as they fucked and claimed her fully. She moaned and thrust up, pushing her breast against Lodge’s mouth, and then Corporal released her lips and cupped her breast and tugged on the nipple. Toby’s tongue slid out of her pussy and along her asshole.

  “Oh, please. Please.” Luna begged for it.

  “Are you ready for us? Do you submit and accept our claim of you, mate?” Toby asked her. The itch grew stronger, and in her mind she heard the word yes despite the confusion about her destiny and what she was meant to do.

  “Yes. By the gods, I am yours.”

  Toby lifted his mouth from her cunt, gripped her hips, and pressed the tip of his cock to her needy pussy.

  “Yes, you are,” he said and slid right into her cunt, breaking the seal, being the first man, first wolf to ever fuck her. She cried out, and his eyes widened and he gripped her shoulders. Corporal and Lodge released their hold on her, and Toby breathed rapidly.

  “Luna?” he whispered.

  “My first. No others but you ever. You are my firsts,” she admitted.

  Their expressions were indescribable. She wasn’t certain if they were pissed that she had been a virgin or aroused by it, but then she heard them as Toby lowered himself, cupped her face between his hands, and slowly rocked his cock in and out of her cunt.

  “You are so very special. Never fear us, or this bond we have for eternity. To know that you are truly only ours—”

  He didn’t finish. He closed his eyes and lifted up and began to thrust into her faster, deeper, his one hand on her shoulder, the other on her hip as he claimed her fully. “Incredible, and only ours. Always ours,” Corporal said. The itch lessened with every stroke, and she understood it. She got that this was her destiny. That she was meant to be their mate and they hers. She closed her eyes, moaned, and raised her arms above her head in submission, which earned her a nip to her neck.

  “Perfection,” Toby said and then came inside of her. He grunted and then licked and kissed her skin. He nuzzled close, and she relaxed her body under his. When he lifted up and eased out of her, he gave a soft almost smile as he looked over her body and ran his palm along her throat, then down over her neck. “Amazing,” he said to her.

  Corporal took his brother’s place. He lifted her thighs over his and then leaned over her. He took in the sight of her body—full large breasts, flat defined abs, sexy thighs, and a gorgeous smile. She was stunning, exceptional, and he felt possessive and protective of her. She stood out, and with her good looks and sexy body, she would need major protection. He gripped her hip and aligned his cock with her pussy while holding her gaze. “You need looking after. There will be rules, and you will abide. Understand?” he asked her, but then eased the tip of his thick, long cock into her cunt.

  “Yes. Oh, by the gods, yes.” She moaned, and he slid all the way in and lost his breath. Nothing compared to the sensations he felt. To the instant depth of emotions, the bond, the connection so surreal he paused in awe as she arched in uncomfortable need. The mating musk was strong, and she needed to be satisfied.

  “Round one will be fast to ease that ache. Round two, back at the house, will be slow and pleasurable,” he said and then thrust fully into her, making her gasp and reach for his shoulders. He gripped one of her hands and held it above her head, then leaned on that hand and rocked his hips into her. He used his other hand to grip her hip for leverage to fuck her deeper and to ease that itch. In and out he stroked as she moaned and counter-rocked her hips in response. Over and over again he thrust until his cock felt about ready to explode.

  “Please, oh, by the gods, I can’t take it. I need more,” she said, and that was it. He stroked into her faster and faster and then felt his body’s, his wolf’s need to fuck, mark, and claim her. He came inside of her, and when he went to bite into her shoulder to seal the deal, she gripped his head and kissed him instead. The juices flowed, their bodies shook in the aftermath of their lovemaking, and they kissed long and deeply.

  Lodge pulled Luna into his arms the moment Corporal stood up.

  He cupped her cheeks, stared into her gorgeous green eyes, and pressed his thighs between hers.

  He stared at her, perplexed by the deep e
motions running through his body, his wolf’s spirit. Over the years he’d witnessed several bondings of mates, never once considering that he or his brothers would find their mate. Not while scouring the country to deter or kill enemies of the packs, the Circle of Elders, and the gods. He didn’t waste time imagining having his own mate, and then he caught her scent. He spotted Luna. He could feel her soft, feminine palm slide against his waist. He looked at her lips, full, pink, and kissable.

  “You came out of nowhere. I know you have reservations. I can feel your resistance and your acceptance battling. Don’t for one moment believe that we aren’t battling this mating, too. That we don’t fear becoming weak, when right now our pack needs us to be strong and determined.”

  “I do feel that, Lodge. It’s confusing.”

  He stroked her cheek and jaw, then shifted slightly so she could feel his thick, hard erection against her belly and mound. Her lips parted. “What we feel is real and is out of our control. The gods have sent each of us on missions, on journeys to take, and we have, just as you have, but now they have brought us together, and together is what we will be.” He pressed his lips to hers. The need to claim her, to know that she was part of him in body and soul, overtook any more conversation. There would be time for that later.

  Her thighs pressed against his sides as he maneuvered into a better position between her legs. After aligning his cock with her pussy, he teased her entrance, then pulled back to taste of her sweet, tight bud. A lick, a flick of his tongue, and then a swirl around her areola caused Luna to grip him tighter, tilt her head back, and moan while thrusting her hips upward. When he got his fill, he moved his mouth to the other breast and partook in the taste of her skin, the scent of his mate, memorizing it.

  She ran her fingers through his hair.

  “Lodge, please. Please, that feels so good.”

  He lifted up, releasing her breast with a plop, and held her gaze.

  “Accept my claim of you just as you have accepted my brothers’,” he told her. She nodded and whispered a yes while he lifted up, slid her hands above her head, bent to her hair, aligned his cock with her wet pussy, and slowly slid into her cunt. Her eyes widened, her lips parted, her all-consuming scent attacked him, and his wolf roared with desire as he shoved into her to the hilt.

  “Oh!” she exclaimed, and it was on. This desperate, all-consuming feeling to claim her. To mark her his woman, his mate for life.

  In and out he thrust deeper, and she countered his strokes. He squeezed her hands tighter and rocked his pelvis while holding her gaze. “Feel it, mate? Do you feel it?” he asked.

  “Yes. Yes, Lodge. Oh!” She cried out and came, and the smell of her arousal did him in. He thrust several more times and then exploded inside of her, releasing his seed, and his wolf howled into the night.

  He nuzzled against her neck, squeezing her to him as Corporal and Toby howled next, letting all know that their wolves had found their mate and begun the mating process, as future Alphas to their pack.

  Chapter Three

  “What have you found out?” Bider asked Preston and his brothers as they met at Saint pack’s estate.

  “Not a damn thing. There hasn’t been much intel gathered. Luna’s men, the soldiers she’s teamed up with, aren’t sharing much, but we don’t believe they have anything of use to us.”

  “Keep looking. Something has to give. We have our people looking into some of the more recent entries by train or airplane with people from that airport in Italy. There could be a lot of them, and it may take time to weed through, but it’ll be worth it if it brings up a drop off time and location, plus city. They could have had those people transported to any state,” Bider said.

  “It’s a reach, but it’s something. Right now we’re going to look into this place a few towns over. There was some intel on members of a pack from New York we’re unfamiliar with, asking some questions about Keuric and Saint packs and the size of surrounding packs.”

  “Could be just some wolves looking for placement,” Bider said.

  “Or scouts, trying to see how far the reach is, and what type of power we have beyond our territory.”

  “See what you can find out. Maybe you’ll get lucky and get some answers. There has to be a way to figure out who is running this thing. But first, our priority must be finding those prisoners from Merker pack. If there are as many alive as Malacay believes, then we could help them and bring them into our packs,” Saunder added.

  “We’ll take care of it,” Bider said, and then they talked a little more about the soldier friends of Luna’s, and how Lodge, Corporal, and Toby were not answering calls and more than likely were trying to convince Luna she was destined to be their mate.

  Alexandra locked gazes with Cable’t the moment he entered the bedroom. She knew he hid his thoughts from her earlier, including informing her about where he disappeared to. As she held his gaze, even now he was blank in thought.

  “Come to me,” he said to her. She tightened up a moment but then went to him. He pulled her into his arms and stared down at her. He was so much taller than her, superior in every way, just like her wolf mates. He stroked her cheek.

  “The night Luna’s convoy was attacked on their way here, there was another bloodletter present besides myself,” he told her.

  She squinted at him.

  “A vampire? Who? Why?”

  “I was curious myself, as I caught only the slight scent of him and then it disappeared.”

  “One working for the enemy?”

  “Well, that’s what I went to find out.”

  She gripped onto his side. “Alone, you went to confront a potential enemy vampire?” She regretted the words the moment the last syllable left her lips. His straight, annoyed expression was all Cab, and she bowed her head. “I’m sorry, Cab. I’m protective of my mates.”

  “As we are protective of you. Buschool Lemone is not an enemy of mine. Nor does he seem to be an enemy of Keuric pack and Saint pack either. In fact, he was there to protect Luna.”

  “Protect Luna? A vampire? Why?”

  “They are friends. He saved her life once, and she assisted him in a mission of sorts. I don’t have all the details, but I do get the feeling that he is remaining nearby for personal reasons.”

  “Oh no. Don’t tell me he’s Luna’s mate, as well.”

  “No, of course not, or the Keuric Alphas would not have her in their presence and possession right now.”

  “Why is that?” Preston asked, joining them.

  Cable’t glanced at Preston. “No offense, Preston. It’s just that Buschool is not as civil or polite as I am.”

  “You have your moments,” Preston said.

  “Only when my mate is in danger.” Cab reached up to stroke her cheek. She gave a small smile and gazed into his dark eyes. She was so in love with him and her other mates. It was insane.

  “Not totally true. I just heard you exchanged some words with Viper,” Heracio said. He and Saunder now stood there, as well.

  Cab looked at them. “The wolf has a bad attitude, and insecurity about vampires. I just suggested he get with the program. Now, this conversation I had with Buschool has made some things clearer. Things I believe you are already aware of, mate?” Cable’t asked. She had a feeling that this vampire, Buschool, informed Cable’t of Luna’s royal status and fortune.

  “I think it’s more than just her fortune and being a princess that this wolf is after.”

  “What? Who is a princess?” Preston asked, coming closer.

  “What wolf?” Heracio asked.

  She exhaled and looked at her mates. “No one is to know. Luna wants it kept a secret because there are loose ends for her to tie.”

  “Killing the wolf responsible for her father’s murder and mother and brother’s abduction is a bit more complicated than cutting loose ends,” Cable’t said, and she was shocked that he said it aloud and that he looked at her as though he was angry.

  The ot
hers carried on asking questions. She turned toward them. “Luna will tell her mates when the time is right. Unfortunately, she is pretty set on making her promise come true and killing the wolf responsible, but right now she is making finding Merker pack members priority. That gives her time to process what she will do and accomplish with her mates’ assistance and ours.”

  “Who is this wolf she intends on killing, and has she informed our cousins?” Heracio asked.

  “The same wolf who is responsible for abducting Merker pack and shipping off the others.”

  “Not good,” Preston stated with his hands on his hips.

  “We cannot intervene. Luna must inform her men about Costaldo Goshey.”

  “The question is, when will she, and will it be too late? We can’t allow this. There are too many lives at risk,” Preston said.

  “I’ll talk with her. She should be here with her mates shortly. I’m also waiting to hear from my other friends. Women who I trust and who have resources beyond yours and Keuric pack.”

  “Seriously?” Saunder said.

  She nodded. “You should never underestimate the power of a woman, wolf or not.”

  “How about the consequences of a princess’s pride, mate?” Cab retorted, and she felt an odd sensation in her gut. She knew they were right. Luna needed to explain to her mates what happened to her family and about the revenge she sought and Costaldo as the mastermind behind the abduction and destruction of Merker pack.

  * * * *

  Luna got over the uneasy feeling quickly once they were in the Saints’ home and she spoke with Alexandra. It was pretty obvious that everyone knew she was the mate to Lodge, Corporal, and Toby. Their aunt Selania, as well as their uncles, Jordan, Korkak, and Lucca, made her feel welcome. She was greeted with smiles and hugs hello, and soon she wondered whether her life and a future here instead of in Italy could be her destiny. She wouldn’t have to give up the power of being a princess. However, she would need to eliminate this problem with Costaldo. As good as she felt being here, the weight on her shoulders knowing that her father’s killer lived and was still trying to hurt her family wasn’t something to be ignored. Throw in Costaldo’s need to destroy Merker pack and imprison them somewhere, and she knew her mind and soul wouldn’t be free to be a true mate until this was resolved.
