Sweet Submission: The Courtship
The moon, the mating heat, the high from the hunt – they all contributed to her small moment of insanity. A small moment of insanity that birthed a huge freaking problem.
Enaera gingerly ran her fingertips over both of her mating marks. Growing up in the pack with Andrew and his brothers had limited her access to many of the male weres, let alone any other species. She'd been told that as an omega, she was both a liability and an asset to the pack. She'd seen her forced seclusion as paying her dues. She'd built a nice, if not great, life here. But all in a few moments, that had all changed.
Not only had she mated, she mated hybrids- two of them, and they were both Alphas. Naturally submissive, she'd only grown comfortable around alpha wolves Andrew and Seth because they'd practically raised her and she saw them as her brothers. But now two virtual strangers had in human terms married her.
Enaera squeezed her eyes shut, the memories of last time flittering through her mind. The boar had put up quite a fight, even injured her in a few places but she had finally brought it down all alone. She'd started feasting when she'd suddenly felt two aggressive forces moving towards her. She'd been about to run when the two wolves had come upon her, two predators intend on their prey. And she was the prey.
The smart thing would have to run, but her wolf had stubbornly held its ground. The strange urge to willingly submit and show her belly to the two dominant wolfs had overtaken her and she soon sensed her mates. To say she had been shocked would be putting it mildly. How could she possibly handle two mates? But the mating heat had begun in her body just from smelling their scents and no matter how hard she'd tried to escape her body wouldn't let her. A creature of instinct, Enaera had decided to shift into her human form and give in to the urge to mate.
But now neither of them wanted her, even though they felt a pull towards her. She knew they were her soul mates, but she guessed that being hybrids of creatures that usually didn't mate for life had dulled their senses. But that didn't mean she'd put up with their bullying like she had when they'd been discovered. She'd been weak from the mating, not to mention dying of embarrassment when her family had found her post coitus.
A knock sounded at the door and Enaera sat up in bed, feeling better now to receive visitors after her rest.
"Come in."
The door opened to allow two very nervous looking hybrids, one looking at his feet and the other looking at everything but her. Enaera rolled her eyes. It wasn't really a surprise that they were here now. When they had gotten back to the compound, she's been taken to the healer then to her room. Through all of it, there had been a multitude of growling and snarling whenever the male healer had touched her, until she'd been forced to yell at them to leave her alone. She really hadn't expected that to work against two Alphas, but it seemed being mated to them had some perks.
"I'm sorry I yelled at you." She wasn't, not really but it was somewhere to begin at. They were all mates but they were virtual strangers. If she wasn't in the middle of this threesome, she'd have found it funny.
Nolan finally looked at her and grinned while Dietrich looked up from his boots to scowl at her.
"I think we kind of deserved that," Nolan said ruefully. Dietrich turned his scowl to his brother.
"That wolf was touching her!" Dietrich snarled.
"To make sure I was alright after you two claimed me," Enaera said archly.
Nolan winced and gulped, making Enaera stiffen. "Yes, well about that..."
"The mating was a mistake. It was just a one night fuck," Dietrich finished his brother's statement.
Enaera frowned and clutched the bed sheets in her fist. "Fine. Go talk to Seth and get this thing undone. The faster you two are out of my life, the faster I can find my true mate!" Enaera bit back an angry sob and jerked the sheet around her nude body, wanting the amour of her clothes between their roving gazes.
Before she had a change to reach for her closet door, Nolan's arm turned her back to them. Getting fed up with their constant manhandling, she swiped out a claw. The small injury on his forearm only made Nolan more determined as he forcefully reeled her into him.
"But," he gritted through his teeth, making sure she understood, "we've decided to keep you, seeing as how we basically can't survive without you."
If glares could kill, Nolan would have been tattered flesh and broken bones by now. "Great to know you've accepted being saddled with me," Enaera spit out. She might be an omega and have a submissive nature, but that did not mean she'd let these arrogant and crude hybrids walk all over her.
Disregarding the very threatening male not a few inched from her, and another just a few feet away she tried to look as nonchalant as possible as she lied through her teeth. "I'd rather be mated to another wolf, someone that actually wants me for me. So you two can just mosey on over to Seth and set up the breaking and I can get on with my life. I'll get over our little meeting in the woods; find another wolf to mate, and fucking mate him within an inch of his life." The urge to stick out her tongue was strong, but she felt that might defeat the purpose of her speech.
"Will you now?" Dietrich's scowling face appeared in her periphery vision. "And this mating bite?" Dietrich's hand reached over Nolan and traced his bite mark on her shoulder. "You know that even if we break the bond, you'll carry this bite always."
"Yes," Nolan nodded sagely and Enaera just wanted to punch that smug look off his face. "My bite is just as permanent, so where will your future lover bite you, hmm, to show ownership?"
Enaera bit her lip as she watched in abject fascination, her pique momentary pushed to the background as Nolan's fingers traced the edge of the sheet wrapped loosely around her body. His fingers dipped into the space between the sheet and her warm, pulsing body.
"Here?" Nolan traced a distinct bruise right on her right breast. Her breath hitched when she felt Dietrich's bigger body block her retreat as he molded himself to her back.
"Or here?" Dietrich tugged the sheet down to pool at her waist, tracing the finger shaped marks lingering on her hips.
This was not going where she wanted it to. She would soon be lost in the mating heat just like last night, where her whole brain flew out the window for an indeterminate vacation. They used the sheets to trap her between then as they closed in her, but she wouldn't be so easily captured this time.
In the blink of an eye, she shifted and jumped away to a safer distance, putting the door at her back in case they decided to try that trick again. Both growled at her, crouching on their knees to get ready to chase her. Shifting back to her human form, she fisted her hands at her waist, heedless of her nudity. They'd already seen all of her and right now they didn't seem inclined to let her dress. Her biggest battle here was to get herself heard, not get clothed, although that was a close second.
She was expecting a reprimand or something of the like for escaping their clutches. What she did not expect was slack jawed awe.
"Fuck, your hair really is the color of moondust." Dietrich licked his lips as he looked her up and down.
"Yes, very beautiful and sweet, just like nixxa." Nolan, too, seemed lost in his perusal of her.
Blushing, Enaera slowly banded her arms over her chest and crossed her legs as well as she could in her current position. Growing up amongst shifters, none had ever truly looked at her like this. Like she was a desirable woman, like she was all woman. She had very slight curves, and whereas all the other female weres in the pack was beautifully tanned, she was as white as moondust, like Dietrich had said. But the way he said it made it seem like he wouldn't have her any other way. They looked at her as if she fascinated them, obsessed them.
"Who is Nixxa?" she asked.
Nolan looked up surprised at her, and then shook his head. "Nixxa is a pure essence in incubi mythology, like the human's manna or ambrosia except it's not exactly food. It is the harbinger of happiness and the gods consume it to dispel evil, but it is rare and elusive. It is a beauty that only few deserve."
"Oh." Well, that was kind of sweet. As compliments went, she could do worst then be compared to nixxa.
"Umm, look. I know this thing was sprung on all of us and you guys have a life that is separate from mine-"
