Seized her by the waist and threw her onto the bed. “Mine,” he growled as he descended upon her, suggesting that the bloodied woman derived pleasure from evading him and his wolf.
“Mine,” she giggled in response, then entwined her fingers in his hair, drawing his mouth to hers. She kissed him fervently, arching her body against his. “Nolan,” she moaned moments later, and he smiled down at her, aware of her desires. Inserted her with a single, forceful thrust and savoured the cry of ecstasy that emanated from her. Appreciated her immediate desire for him, embracing both him and his wolf entirely.
He lay observing her slumber, the sun just below the horizon, having devoted the entire afternoon asserting his possession, as had Oscar. She was fatigued by them. She lay adjacent to them, prone, one hand resting on his arm, her face serene in slumber, although he observed her eyes fluttering beneath her eyelids, suggesting she was dreaming. She was quite endearing, leaned over, and kissed her temple; both he and Oscar were thoroughly satisfied by their Mate. They needed to discuss with her the process of marking her, enabling him to proceed. Both he and Oscar were convinced she would acquiesce, allowing him to proceed, as he closed his eyes and relaxed in their bed. He intended to relish the remainder of his life in her company while sleeping beside her.
All his instincts, fully attuned to potential danger, roused him.
His eyes abruptly opened to the darkness of the room; he could not sense Stella beside him and turned his head to locate her. She was positioned adjacent to him when he succumbed to sleep. The exquisite aroma of maple trees combined with roasted chestnuts and the brisk scent of freshly fallen snow had effortlessly induced his slumber.
He could still perceive her scent, although at that moment he could not sense her presence beside him. He understood the reason when his gaze met the radiant, luminous blue eyes fixed upon him; it was Stella, crouched on the bed adjacent to him, yet simultaneously not Stella, her beast manifesting on the surface, likely for the first time ever.
“Infant?”He enquired softly, yet he did not advance towards her.
A faint growl emanated from her beast as it crouched and fixed its gaze upon him, then it lunged at him with remarkable speed. Her lips met his in a fervent kiss, consuming him with an intense hunger, eliciting a deep growl of desire from him as he reached up to grasp her. He desired this creature, as did Oscar.
Her hands forcefully pressed against his upper arms, immobilising them and preventing any contact, yet she was fervently grinding against him. Perceived Oscar advance. This was his partner, characterised by her aggression. Nolan had been relegated to the recesses of his mind to observe passively.
Subsequently, it became an intense struggle for supremacy between his wolf and her creature. Notwithstanding her diminutive size, the ferocity within her was formidable, and even Oscar struggled to subdue her. She was unwilling to accept it. Desiring complete dominance over the situation, she exhibited aggressive behaviour towards Oscar, forcefully pinning him beneath her. Subsequently, she mounted him and maintained her hold, engaging in fervent mating, asserting her desires until she arched her back and cried out in ecstasy. She then descended onto him and exhaled gently, appearing satisfied.
“Oscar?”Nolan ultimately enquired of his wolf. They have now completed their task.
“Wolf,” he heard Oscar declare, “good and strong.”
Nolan nearly laughed aloud as Oscar withdrew, relinquishing control back to him. He gazed down at Stella, who was unconscious and soundly asleep atop his body. “You may wish to converse with her.”
‘My Companion.’
Nolan remarked, “Not marked yet,” and indeed, she was not.
“Mated by us both,” Oscar responded, indifferent to the creature’s seemingly unnatural appearance, which should not have occurred until she was Marked. Appeared to simply acquiesce. It was peculiar. Humans typically do not undergo transformation until after they have been Marked, and then only during the subsequent full moon.
I may need to investigate that.
He sighed softly as he sensed Oscar establish dominance within his mind; his own Mate had subdued him, despite his wolf’s attempts to assert control. She was unequivocally stronger than he. He speculated that Stella might possess a latent ancient werewolf gene, which could explain her sudden transformation and the aggression Ryder had experienced from her; her change, following her mating with him and Oscar, likely triggered this dormant gene.
Contemplated how Stella would feel, or would feel in the morning, upon having her wolf dominate her without her awareness, seizing complete control and mating fervently with Oscar. She hoped she would not panic, despite having witnessed it numerous times by now. Perhaps she would simply accept it. He was optimistic.
Luna Helen awakened him at approximately four in the morning via a mental link, urging him to come to the hospital.
Brianna was awakening and may be required. He descended from the bed and proceeded there after donning his attire. Stella remained motionless, appearing entirely unresponsive. Secured his suite to prevent her from wandering off in search of him. Although he was unequivocally aware that she would disapprove of being confined, she understood that she was not permitted unrestricted freedom at that time.
Ryder’s Perspective
Ryder entered the Luna’s medical suite and observed Brianna slumbering in the bed with her arm draped around Logan. Their son was nestled against her left side, with the IV inserted into her right arm. He could observe that it remained connected to her.
He contemplated momentarily whether to capture a photograph of the two of them reclining together. It stirred his emotions slightly to realise he was unwelcome in that image.
