Awakening the Beast (24 page)

“Sharing you is not a problem. It is, I just want to be sure none are left out,” Ohanzee said whispered to her.

She laughed and turned her head to face him. She pressed her lips to his and pulled away. “You don’t have to worry about that. You’ll all get your turn.”

“I hope so.” Christopher trailed his fingers along her arms.

Ohanzee slipped his arms through her elbows, wrenched her back into his chest, and secured her to him. He brought her down to the ground so he was pressed against him. Illiana started to protest, but Christopher went with them. He moved his hands along her thighs and spread her legs. He laved his tongue along her inner calf, to the bend in her knee where she squirmed. Her wolf mate found a ticklish spot because he hovered there, skimming his tongue over it until a cry escaped her lips. He finally continued his path along her inner thigh until he stopped at her folds. Illiana held her breath, waiting to see what would happen now. Ohanzee kissed along her neck and sucked on her skin. The light breeze caressed the places where her men did not and soothed her. It stirred the elements within her, but she focused on the men who were with her. Christopher resumed his assault of the sensitive flesh of her inner thigh before extending his tongue along her wet slit. She jumped when he thrust his tongue into her pussy wrested a moan from her throat. Once Christopher’s mouth enclosed her clit, she arched her back only to meet Ohanzee’s golden gaze. He flashed her a small smile, but then his mouth descended onto hers and she was consumed with the bliss of Christopher’s attentions. She cried out into Ohanzee’s mouth. Ohanzee held her arms while his hands meandered to her breasts. He twirled her nipples until she cried out. The fire burst to life and swarmed along her nerves burning her from the inside out.

Christopher’s delved inside of her wet depths, pressing upon her inner walls until she writhed on the bed. The desire Christopher had awoken inside of her spread razed her and she was not sure that she could come back from it. Ohanzee squeezed her nipples once more, and she broke the kiss as the orgasm took its hold. She lodged her fingers into Ohanzee’s thighs and heard him groan. Her wolf plunged his fingers inside of her and drew her throbbing nub between his teeth. At that moment, she pushed her hips into his face.

“More,” she whimpered.

Ohanzee’s cock poked into her ass. He was as eager to have her as was Belik. She gazed at him and saw he was enjoying the sight of them. While she was in her ecstatic throws, he watched them, slowly stroking his cock. He locked his eyes with hers and she could see the passion there. She reached for him, but before that could come to fruition, the fire in her veins doubled with the pleasure and the world was flashed away in a great bonfire that engulfed her body. When she could think again, she found Ohanzee held her against her chest stroking her hair. Christopher flicked his tongue over her swollen clit one last time and Illiana’s body gave out and sent her into another place.

When she stopped, Christopher stared at her with a devious smile on his lips and amber eyes. “You taste wonderful.” He walked his fingers along her stomach and trailed them over one of her breasts.

“But we’re not done with her yet,” Belik said.

“Of course not.”

Illiana freed herself from Ohanzee’s grip and studied all three of them. The hunger in their eyes had not died. They were all waiting patiently for her each nearly drooling. It was amazing to have such wonderful men who loved her. She still had not gotten over that. Illiana walked over to Belik. She ran her fingers over his muscular thighs before gripped his dick.

She pushed him down on the grass. He touched her breasts and lightly and licked his lips from the anticipation. The fire still raged within her and she touched his chest so she shared her warmth with his. The air swirled around her and tried to cool her, but she ignored it and wanted to be swallowed by the fire. Illiana slipped Belik’s cock inside of her. They fit well together. He gripped her breast and massaged it.

“Who gets you from behind?” Ohanzee asked.

She turned toward him. “You do.”

Ohanzee spread her ass cheeks and slipped his cock between her mounds and slowly claimed her asshole. It was not like she was not used to this. In their times together, she had gotten used to being with both of her mates in all different ways. Even getting creative, but trying to maneuver all three of them was going to be interesting while she kept her head. This was a pleasurable pain that radiated through her. Belik started to move underneath her, but she waited until Christopher was before her.

“Kneel down,” Illiana instructed.

Christopher flashed her a questioning look, but he did as he was told. She claimed his lips in a quick kiss and leaned down so she was able to draw his cock into her mouth. A soft groan came out of his full mouth. She grasped his thigh as Belik began to move underneath her. As he set the tempo between them, Illiana drew Christopher’s cock deeper into her mouth until she had taken him all in. She swirled her tongue around his shaft before running her teeth over it. It was difficult to concentrate on it as Ohanzee impaled her a little more until he was completely inside her. Belik pushed into her. Ohanzee clutched her breasts while she held onto Christopher’s thighs to keep herself steady. There was no way of getting lost because she was trapped in maze of different arms and legs. Christopher groaned once more and she felt the warm from her palms moving into him as well so he was also going into another height of pleasure. Ohanzee moved his fingers along her right arm and clutched her fingers. Once he did that, he was also feeling the fire too because she could sense it flushing into him as well. It connected them together. Ohanzee moaned. With each individual push inside of her, their passion was building. Christopher wrapped his fingers inside of her hair and gripped her tighter as he thrust inside of her mouth. She tried to stay focused on him, but they were all getting ready to come. Stars formed behind her eyes. Each of her mates breathed heavily. The scent of each of their sweat permeated the air. Together they were building to the pinnacle of bliss that she had never reached before. The muscles quaked in her stomach like ravens trying to escape from her skin.

Christopher cried out and released inside of her and groaned. A moment later, Ohanzee thrust into her one last time and screamed to the heavens. Belik followed a moment later and when he did, she felt her world shatter as stars and bright white light exploded in her field of vision. Right when she did, she felt the earth trembler beneath them and a few leaves fell from the trees. The air blasted around them, but it did little too cool her because she was still burning from their shared encounter.

After a few moments, they rolled off her and she was able to wind herself with all three of them. Her head rested on Christopher’s chest, listening to his slowing heart. Ohanzee snuggled on her left side, wrapping her arm around his shoulders. Belik had his head on her rip hip between her and Christopher as he kissed the top of her thigh. When she looked into the branches of the future all paths lead to them being together. This was where she was supposed to be.

“I love you,” she said to them.

Christopher kissed her lips in a sweet kiss. “I love you. We love you. It doesn’t matter what the future holds. We’re always going to be there for you.”

And she knew that to be true. Illiana nestled closer to the three men who were intertwined with her and listened to their heartbeats. The energy that each of them put out was a different element. When she was added to the mix, they were in perfect balance. Christopher was fire. Belik was air. Ohanzee was water while she was earth. Each had been valiant in defending her and driving their enemies out. Knowing they had almost given their lives was another boon because the spirits had given her a second chance. She closed her eyes and studied the branches of the future and saw they would be parted soon. Illiana had assumed they had to go back and check on the village. She had to stay behind and take care of the flock. Right now, all she cared about was staying in the moment and hoping it would last forever with the men she loved.

Epilogue

Illiana drew Daruk into a hug. The dragon shifter nearly squeezed her bones from her skin before letting go. Four months had passed and summer was giving way to autumn. The leaves were changing color and the forest teamed with life. After a long discussion with the all those members who were left of both wolves and ravens they decided they wanted to rebuild where the original village had been. Daruk had stayed with them to help rebuild. First, they had worked on the wolf village and then they had gone into the trees to work on the aeries there. There were signs of life from the Mother Tree coming back to life. What was burned had been taken down leaving a large open space they decided to use for a meeting space. The demolition was made easy by knocking down trees with his claws or his tail. He had fun doing it, too. He was even able to pull up stumps. The land that was cleared was to be used for a garden and farming for all those.

The cougars and vultures shared their knowledge of farming. It turned out the vultures worked the land. They had to supplement their diet and had followed Vorhan in hopes of more fertile lands as theirs was drying up. Vorhan had controlled them and now they wanted to live a peaceful life.

“You going to be able to take care of this rambunctious bunch?” Daruk asked.

“I’ll be fine. I have three strong men to keep me company and make sure everything gets done.”

“And you know that you’re father is doing well and that the village is fine,” Asha chimed in.

Illiana glanced at the other woman and smiled. She had appeared two months ago with her children. Illiana’s father had drawn a map for her and she had updated everyone about the state of the village.

There had been some damage with the eruption. The house they had built together and her father’s along with several more had been swallowed by the earth. Ranolo had written her a letter describing the aftermath of the explosion and how they were getting the village back together. People had been hurt and killed, Asha’s husband was one of them. Knowing that Asha was with them meant Ohanzee was not going back to the village.

“And I’m glad to hear that,” Daruk said. He glanced up at the sky and sighed. “I need to fly. I’ll come back once things have settled down.”

“Your father will be surprised to see his son returned. I’ll see you again. You’ll have to come back and see the little one,” Illiana answered.

He hugged her again and whispered in her ear. “Do you know who…?”

“No. And it doesn’t matter. The baby will be raised with all three of my mates. Besides, love is all that matters.”

He kissed her cheek. “Love is all that matters. Everyone who meets you is going to love you.”

She pulled away. “Not everyone. Vorhan wanted to eat me, remember?”

The dragon laughed. “I do, but he’s long gone and you have a home to build. Good thing about your seeing the future. I’ll hold you to your word on I’ll be seeing you again.” He quickly hugged the other three men and took to the skies.

They all watched him fly off until he was completely gone. Illiana turned to her mates and met each of their smiles. The light in their eyes was that of complete love. Christopher had settled back into his role of leading the pack. The ravens looked to her for leadership. He placed his hand on her stomach that was starting to show her pregnancy.

“Are you going to be okay? Daruk was your friend,” Christopher asked.

“I’ll be fine.” Her tears slid down her cheeks.

“Do you need to lie down?” Belik asked.

She glanced at him and could not help but giggle because he was playing the nervous father to be. Christopher made sure that she was comfortable. The aerie that they had built for themselves was higher than her mother’s had been with three levels. It was larger than the one they had originally constructed. Illiana made sure that each one of her mates had a room. They even had a home built in the wolf village, but that house was for her and Christopher. Her wolf preferred to be on the ground and not among the trees. Illiana did not blame him. It was nice to have the alone time when they wanted it. He came into the trees when she wanted and they would all spent time together. She kissed Belik quickly and touched the feather in his hair. He had become a strong man ever since the first time he had approached her and was no longer the shy boy who had wanted to court her.

“I’m fine. You don’t need to worry about me. I’m going to be fine. So is this little one.”

“Do you know yet if it’ll be a boy or a girl?” Ohanzee asked.

“‘Zee, how many times have I told you not to ask her that. She won’t know until she has the baby.” Asha poked her little brother until he winced and pulled away.

Illiana laughed at seeing the two them and knowing that her mate could still be made to look like a little boy around his sister. “Leave him be, Asha. He’s jumpy enough as it is. Every little pain I get, he wants to know about it. No, love. I don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl. Or if it will come out with feathers or claws. We have to wait and see, but we have time for that. We have plenty of time.”

Each of her mates drew her into their arms and kissed her. She felt their love stronger than she ever had before. Although, it was sad not to have her mother and aunt with them, knowing that the flock and the wolves were moving ahead and could face anything. Together, with the men she loved, and with a little help knowing the future, the four of them would live a rich and fulfilled lives. Once their child was born, she swore to herself that she would never hide her nature from it. All of them would be the loving family that was needed to raise a child and have a whole new age of peace between the shifters who now shared the forest.
