I will also be posting my next chapter for Gilded in Gold next week so keep an eye out for that. Thanks for all the ratings and the helpful comments on all my submissions so keep them coming guys :)Enjoy! ******************************* 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-" Nolan held up a hand and she stopped midsentence. "The life we had pervious to this mating is forfeit. Dietrich and I talked this over and we've decided to try to acclimate into your pack." "It's your pack too." If they were going to be part of this pack, Enaera wanted them to feel the same sense of family she felt. Dietrich snorted. "We'll see. So far, it just looks like a rag tag team of amateur weres playing at grown up games." "Hey," Enaera snapped. "I have grown up in this pack and any insult to my pack is an insult to me." Dietrich grinned sheepishly. "Sorry, moondust. But I call it like it is and I refuse to be a part of a pack that I find inferior." Enaera had momentarily melted at the cute nickname but she snapped right back at his last comment. "So just because you don't like my pack, you don't want to make this mating work?" Dietrich vehemently shook his head. "That's not what I said, Enaera. I'm going to try to get used to your pack. If I find something I don't like, I'm going to change that." Nibbling on her lip, Enaera knew that Dietrich's attitude wasn't going to go well over with Andrew. As his mate, her loyalty should be to him but she didn't want him to get in trouble with the pack. "You know, Enaera, we never asked but do you want to be mated to us?" Nolan asked with a curious expression. Not wanting them to see the sudden turmoil of emotions caused by that question, Enaera looked down at the floor. "Moondust?" Dietrich stepped forward and tipped her face up with a thumb. "We won't force you into this if you don't want it. I may be a coarse bastard but I would never force you." Looking into his dark green eyes, Enaera licked her dry lips and nodded. But that wasn't enough. "Yes, I want to be mated to you. I feel a pull towards both of you that I can't explain but I know just standing close to both you and Nolan feels absolutely perfect." Nolan smiled at her and palmed her cheek. She leaned into his touch and rubbed against his hand just like an affectionate kitten. "We missed you," Nolan admitted on a quiet whisper. Enaera laugh. "I was only asleep for a few hours," she protested. "A few hours too many," Dietrich growled, catching the lobe of her ear and biting down hard. And just that fast, she was back there in the moonlit glen, once again unleashed to explore her desire with her two mates. "We shouldn't be doing this, not to fast," her halfhearted protests fell on deaf ears they began undressing. All the heat in her body pooled between her thighs as each hard slope of muscle was revealed to her, covered by a fine layer of hair. Dietrich was the harrier of the two, with a thick mass that rivaled a football player's. Nolan was built more like a swimmer, with the long lean muscles of a Greek god, all golden and lick-able. "Why don't you show us just how much you're amenable to this mating?" Nolan asked with a wicked grin. Enaera inhaled sharply as she felt gentle, yet strong hands push her down to her knees before Nolan. She stared up at him, his entranced expression feeding her desire. She twisted her head back and saw Dietrich nodding his approval, as his hands went down his body to stroke his engorged shaft. Turning back to Nolan, she saw that his hands were already playing with his thick cock. The bulbous head pointed straight her nose, leaking copious amounts of precum. Swiping her tongue out in a quick lick, the slightly bittersweet taste burst on her tongue. Moaning, she felt Dietrich's hand guide the back of her head towards Nolan's prick and she let him. Nolan rubbed the head of his penis over her lips, painting the reddened morsels with a thin sheen of his precum. Enaera looked up at Nolan through wide eyes as she slowly took just the head into her mouth, applying a tight suction. Having never done this before, she gave her body over to her instincts. And her instincts were telling her to suck the whole, thick cock down. With her hands she grabbed onto the base of his cock, alternately squeezing and twisting her hands. Nolan let out a tortured groan when the head tapped at the back of Enaera's throat. Sputtering, Enaera pulled back a little but didn't complete pull off. God, the thick shaft was so hot, branding the inside of her mouth as Nolan's. She licked along the throbbing veins on the underside of his penis, her tonguing flicking in rapid movements. Nolan pried her fingers free and grabbed his own cock hard, hoping to stave off his impending orgasm. While it wasn't the most experienced blowjob he'd ever gotten, the fact that it was his mate on her knees so eager to please him was aphrodisiac enough. The erotic sight of her smiling around his cock while her innocent eyes gazed up at was almost too much to bear. His hips thrust in shallow thrusts, trying to remember that she was new at this but he could already feel the familiar tingle starting at the base of his spine. Without warning, her burning hot mouth was pulled off his prick and the cold shock of air effectively delayed his climax. Enaera suddenly found her mouth full of Dietrich's delicious cock, leaking copious amounts of precum. He held her jaw with one, large hand as he used the other to wrap around his cock. He held her still as he thrust in and out of her mouth, sometimes just rubbing the head over her tongue. Feeling bold, she reached for his heavy balls and cupped them in her hands. Rolling them over her palms, she pulled her mouth off of Dietrich and ducked down to tentatively lick at his hairy balls. "Fuck, she's a goddamn natural," Dietrich gritted out through clenched teeth. Enaera flashed him an impish smile before she turned back to his brother. Using her saliva and his own precum, he used the natural lubricants and jerked his cock, determined to come with Nolan and her. Enaera bobbed her head up and down, feeling her juices trickle down her thighs. Her nether lips were swollen with need and her heat could be smelled to any were with a mile. She wanted her mates inside of her, biting her, and bringing her to completion. Working harder at Nolan's cock, she used her other hand to play with his balls like she had with Dietrich and soon she felt Nolan go completely still. He shot numerous streams of his thick, white cum down her throat but some of it slipped past her red and abused lips. Groaning, Nolan slowly pulled back and watched as Enaera's lips kept the tight suction on his dick until he popped free with a lewd, wet sound. Feeling starved for his taste, Enaera licked off the semen that had escaped, savoring Nolan's salty and bitter taste. Nolan leaned down and mashed his lips to hers, taking her mouth by storm. He slid his lips to the corner of her mouth, licking away the remnants of his cum. Realizing that Dietrich was still left unattended, she turned back to him with her mouth slightly open. But Dietrich was already close, having watched the carnal show and jerking off. Enaera's lips were glistening pink and her eyes were glazed with desperate desire. Throwing his head back, Dietrich kept pumping as he aimed his cock at Enaera. A long stream of cum slashed across her face, painting her face with his liquid release. Wanting it to be her who gave him pleasure, Enaera pushed Dietrich's hands away and pumped his cock. She took the jerking head in her mouth, and swallowed down the rest of his cum. She licked him through the aftershock, poking her tongue into the small slit in his head. "God, you look so sexy with my cum all over your face, moondust." Enaera beamed. "I feel sexy," she murmured around his twitching head. She moved back on her hands and knees as she lay down on her back with her legs slightly spread. Her teeth clamped down on her lower lip but even that couldn't prevent her helpless moan as she saw Dietrich drop down to his knees. Smiling, she crooked her fingers and beckoned him closer. Falling into her siren's call, Dietrich crawled on top of her supine body and caged her in with his arms on either side of her shoulders. The sight of her all flushed and squirming with unfulfilled need stole what little breath remained in his overworked lungs. Desperate for a taste of her, he took her bottom lip between his own and pulled it away from her biting teeth. She grabbed onto his hair in her fists and pulled him into a kiss. His tongue ravaged her mouth, seeking out each and every dark crevice for his pleasure. When he pulled away, her lips clung to his for every last taste but he didn't go far. His seeking lips traveled across her face, following the tail of his cum as he licked up his sticky mess. With her hands she moved his mouth back to hers, once again tasting Dietrich's essence when she tasted his mouth. Dietrich placed small, stinging kisses down her cheek to her neck, his stubble abrading her sensitive skin. "You ready for more, moondust?" Enaera could only nod. She was being tossed into a sea of desire, reduced to a pure vessel of need. The maelstrom of pleasure coursing through her body as Dietrich nibbled on her neck and Nolan's wicked fingers played her body like a master artist consumed her. Dietrich moved off her and Nolan knelt over her. He positioned her legs on either side of his bulging thighs, his rough hairs tickling her smooth, gleaming legs. The contrast of her pale legs next to his more muscled and tan legs were in a way beautiful and obscene. He was rough, whereas she was a soft puddle of delighted goo. His slick shaft nudged at her opening and she moaned, her neglected tissues quivering in anticipation. Unlike before, when he had been gentle in his taking, he shoved himself into her with purpose. He dropped onto fours over her and kept up the brutal pace of his trusts into her willing body. The tip of his shaft nudged the opening of her womb every time he bottomed out, the small bit of pain making her gasp each time. The pain and pleasure swirled around inside her, until she didn't know where each ended and begun. "N-no!" Enaera stuttered out when she felt Nolan push himself away, her needy hole feeling empty already. It was too fast, too soon but both her mates had become a part of her and she didn't feel complete without them. These deep feelings scared her, because she feared they might not feel the same towards her. They hadn't meant to mate her and now they had no choice. She'd be devastated if they didn't feel the same towards her but she didn't know how to protect her heart. They'd already laid siege to her heart like they'd done to her body and without even knowing it, they'd taken command of her heart. An agitated whimper escaped her lips at the thought that they might leave her, with their possession stamped forever in her heart. "Relax nixxa. We're not going anywhere," Nolan unerringly reassured her fears. Enaera nodded uncertainly. Sweet Submissive Ch. 02 "Dietrich, get on your back," Nolan commanded, nodding his head towards the space beside Enaera. Without comment, Dietrich lay down on his back then pulled the confused Enaera to lie over his body. For once, the perpetual scowl on his face was gone and he smiled reassuringly at her. "Get up on your knees, nixxa." Nolan guided her to a sitting position and her slicked pussy lips automatically found the blunt shape of Dietrich throbbing shaft, molding around it. Without thought, her body began a natural rhythm going back and forth over his bluntness, seeking that delicious and torturous friction. Dietrich grabbed her thighs with both fingers to still her motions. Enaera moaned in displeasure and pleaded for Dietrich to allow her to move with her eyes. "Please," she breathed her throat dry. "Shhh," Nolan fit his body along the delicate curve of her spine and she pushed back, desperate for contact with his skin. He guided her hips up. "Guide him in," Nolan's whispered command had Enaera quickly reaching for Dietrich's dick. She clumsily moved him place, lowering her body slowly over his shaft. It was a tight fit, made more so by her position. But her muscles eagerly sucked him in, milking it. Dietrich's fingers reached for the apex of her thighs, fingers her sensitive clit. A burst of wetness finally eased the way and Enaera felt her pelvis meet him. She looked down at their connection, awed at how her pussy lips stretched around his angry looking cock in an obscene display of ownership. And she did belong to Dietrich, just as much as she belonged to Nolan. "Now I'm going to fuck your sweet ass," Nolan growling in her ear. Enaera looked back at him with shock, never having imagined such a thing. But the dark demand in his eyes made her want to say yes to anything he wanted. Her anus clenched at its impending invasion and she nodded, she eyes wide. Nolan smirked and pushed her forward onto Dietrich's heaving chest. His fingers pulled her butt cheeks apart and exposed her small, pink rosette. The puckered hole beckoned to his deepest desire, to possess her at the same time his brother did. He quickly wet his fingers with his spit then slowly pushed one inside her, watching in rabid fascination as her tight hole slowly sucked him in. Her velvety warmth engulfed his finger and his dick was almost jumping in glee. He added a second finger, then a third. "Now," Enaera entreated him from her prone position over his brother's chest. A thin sheen of sweet graced her back. Grabbing her hips, he positioned his dick at her fluttering hole and followed her down so his chest cradled her back. She craned her neck back and kissed Nolan. Just as the head of his dick popped past the first ring of muscles, she bit down on his tongue and tasted his coppery bloody, ambrosia to her wolf. Dietrich slid a hand into her hair and gently tugged her face back to face his, leading her towards his neck. Mindless with need and her appetite just whetted by the taste of Nolan's blood, she blindly latched onto Dietrich's tendons and bit down with her sharp canines. The remnants of Nolan's blood mixed in the blood gushing from Dietrich's neck into an addictive mixture. Nolan bottomed out in her ass and stilled to let her body become accustomed to the double invasion. The throbbing pain in her backside took a little getting used to, but having both her mates inside her felt natural. Enaera used the last of her faculties to urge Dietrich to bite into her own neck, knowing that Nolan would do the same when he saw his brother biting her, too. Last night, Dietrich's bite had urged Nolan so she could only surmise the same would apply now. Just as she felt Dietrich's canine stab into her neck, Nolan pulled out of her body. He slammed back in at the same moment his canines found a home on the other side of her neck. Both brothers moved in tandem and Enaera tried to keep up with them. She let her body have free reign, feeling as if she were a lone boat set adrift in a stormy sea. Their fierce thrusts brought her closer and closer to completion. Enaera pulled her teeth free of Dietrich's neck and yelled out a guttural cry as she came, both of her holes clamping down on her mate's cocks. They followed her in climax and simultaneously knotted her, Enaera screamed again as both knots erupted at the exact same place and the unbearable pressure to both her walls and that special tangle of nerves inside her sent her down in an intense spiral. A million bright lights exploded behind her eyelids, and she lost herself in a sublime darkness. When she next opened her eyes, she saw a concerned Dietrich hovering over her face and passing his hand back and forth over her eyes. She jerked when she felt a cold cloth toouch at the scorching heat between her thighs and saw Nolan cleaning up the mixture of semen and juices. Blushing, Enaera closed her legs shut when Nolan moved away. "I guess I passed out, huh?" "You are alright?" Nolan asked as he joined her in bed, his body still nude. She cuddled back against him as Dietrich got on the other side of her. Too embarrassed to answer because her lack of stamina, she just nodded her head. Nolan chucked as she nuzzled the back of her neck. "I finally fucked a girl into unconsciousness," Dietrich crowed smugly. Nolan frowned and delivered a vicious punch into Dietrich's shoulder. He grunted and rubbed at his injury. "Err, sorry. I didn't mean it the way it sounded. Shit, crap just comes out of my mouth and I'm new to all this shit and I've never really –"Enaera laughed and placed her finger over his lips. "It's okay. We're all new to this and still finding our footing in this jumbled mess. But I'm sure we can make this a successful mating, yes?" Enaera looked back at Nolan for reassurance. He wrapped a tight arm around her. "This will be an excellent mating," Nolan stated. Dietrich nodded. "Hell yah." He grinned apologetically at Enaera and pulled her into a kiss. When he pulled back, he whipped the moisture form her lips with his thumb. "I've never been this obsessed with a woman before but the past hours when we weren't allowed to see you had me ready to rip my fur out," Dietrich admitted, still playing with her lips. Enaera's lips curved into a smug smiled and she stroked his rough cheek. "Do you want to know a secret?" she asked with a teasing glint in her eyes. Dietrich looked up at her and arched a brow in question. She leaned in close so that her lips whispered over the shell of his ear. "I like being obsessed over." Dietrich's low chuckle warmed her heart. "This is the second time I've slept with a woman," Nolan quietly admitted behind her. Instant jealously filled her at the thought of Nolan with any other woman. The hybrid was her man, her mate. Grinding her teeth to prevent the urge to go hunt down his bitch and rip out her throat, she growled. "Who was it?" Nolan playfully bit at the back of her neck. "It was you, nixxa, last night when we first mated you. I very much liked it and can't imagine my nights without you rubbing up against me at all times of the night," Nolan teased, making her giggle. "Well, good. This bed only has space for three, so..." That was her maybe not to subtle way of telling them she would not tolerate them bringing in any outside partners into their bedroom. While she didn't know much about dragons, she did know the incubus were quite indiscriminate with their lovers and often took more than one lover to bed. "Fuck, I can't even think about another woman right now. You're already more than what I can handle." Dietrich winked at her but the firm grip he had on her waist and his intense eyes told her that he was completely serious. "We are mates. You are the only mate for me. I might have been...promiscuous-"Dietrich snorted but Nolan continued "but I'm afraid you've already stamped your mark on me, nixxa. I don't want anyone else." Enaera beamed back at Nolan and smiled. This mating just might work. She settled more comfortably between the two hybrids, her much smaller body framed between their bigger, muscular frames. Her fingers stroked their hard muscles, and she let their beating heart lull her to sleep. She clutched at them, as if to keep them sealed to her so they'd still be there in the morning. "Sleep now," Nolan's voice sounded far away. Yawning, Enaera tucked her head under Dietrich's chin and insinuated a leg between his. Her other hand rested over the possessive arm banded just under her breast, stroking Nolan's hand. She fell into a blessed unconsciousness; her mind free of dreams because she already knew what she wanted was just waiting for her when she woke up. Sweet Submissive Ch. 03 Hey, Y'all. So this is the 3rd installment, one more to go. It was edited by the lovely AdrianaBelen.

Comment and rate, they're the ring to my Golem :). P.S. Theres a bit more plot in this story, i hope it doesn't come off rushed. Also, as requested, this is now under Nonhuman. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sweet Submissive: The Coup Enaera didn't think she'd ever get used to having a mate, or two for that matter. It was quite nice to know that Dietrich would always be there nipping at her tail in runs and picking her up by the scuff of her neck if she ever fell or to know that Nolan would always tease her when she felt a bit sad and pet her when she was craving a cuddle. But then there were times when she really wanted to bite one of her mates, and not in the nice-lost-in-the-sex-moment way. If anything, she was even more guarded now, with either of the brothers always tethered a few feet away from her all times. Nolan had acclimated well into the pack within the last few months, getting in good with the pack's counsel. Dietrich was still having problems with Andrew but he seemed to have made good friends with Seth and had taken over training for the warrior wolves. All in all, in her opinion everything seemed to be going great if she chose to ignore the few scuffles Dietrich and Nolan always got into with Andrew. Usually Dietrich would have a problem with Andrew and Nolan would inevitably back him up, only to head the argument after a while. More and more, Enaera could see the divide within her pack; the elders and law makers siding with Nolan, the younger more hotheaded wolves siding with Dietrich, and the rest siding with Andrew. But right now, Nolan was off on one of his countless council meetings. Recently, a few vampire attacks, none of them fatal so far, had put the pack on edge. Nolan was trying to implement a few changes to try to ward off the attacks as well as protect the weaker wolves. Dietrich was scheduled to train the warriors at this time so she was being forced to sit with her back to the training wolves as Dietrich barked commands at them. Right now was one of her wanting to bite them moments. At first, she hadn't minded. She always loved spending time with her mates, discovering all the little miniscule things that had made them the man they were. Bit by bit, she suspected she was falling in love with them, even loving their glaring faults. Nolan's arrogance, Dietrich's disregard for any kind of authority and aggressiveness that hid the heart of a fluffy teddy bear which she loved just as much as Nolan's charm, too. Not only that, but she also got to see a bunch of sweaty, huffing men with beads of sweat running down their slick muscles. What red-blooded were wouldn't be panting at the sight, especially if one of those men were her mates? But then Dietrich noticed her figurative tongue lolling out of her mouth and he snapped at his men to take a five mile run up one the hills. Then he turned that glare on her, his nostrils flared. Enaera only then noticed the subtle scent of heat wafting from her, signaling her readiness to be mounted. With a squeak, she tried to scramble up from her sitting position but Dietrich was already on her. With one swipe of his claw, he ripped her loose tank top open. Panting, she laid back on the slightly damp ground and spread her legs, opening up her shorts for him herself. Smirking down at her, he swiped his finger down her damp cleft. Just that morning, she'd had a lovely little threesome with her mates. She was still a bit wet from before. Dietrich scooped up their mixed juices and brought the mess to Enaera's mouth. With greedy little sucks, she lapped up the bitter, salty taste. Dietrich's fingers slid in and out of her mouth, mimicking the motions of lovemaking. They slid against her tongue, rubbing and playing with her. She tried to suck those digits deeper, taking it up to his knuckle. Saliva ran down her mouth and she moaned in heat. He slid them out and trailed them down her chin to circle those slick digits around her nipple. The cool wetness puckered her up her nipples, the nubs pointing up at her lover. She squirmed helpless, completely at Dietrich's mercy. "Take me, please!" she keened. "I haven't tortured you enough yet," Dietrich growled against her breast, rubbing his stubbly chin against her sensitive skin. She laughed. "You're terrible to me." She slid her arms around his shoulders, caressing the back of his neck. Through her explorations, she'd found it to be a particularly erogenous spot for him but he'd never admit that. "Terribly good," Dietrich corrected, shaking Enaera's hands off and moving down her torso. "Terribly good at being corny," Enaera retorted. Dietrich retaliated by licking up a straight path over her sensitive slit. Enaera almost sat up in shock, but Dietrich's hands held her down. There was no preamble, no teasing as he sucked that tiny morsel into his mouth. Her whole being was centered on that tiny pleasure point, and nothing existed beyond that point. The rough rasp of his tongue against her clit was driving her crazy. He pointed that deliciously sensuous tongue and slid it into her pussy roughly, taking her with his mouth. Her legs moved over his shoulder and she dug her heels into his back. One moment she was pushing him away and the next she was trying to pull him closer. She gasped when Dietrich began to finger her tight rosette. One of his fingers speared into that puckered nether hole, his thumb rubbing against the wrinkled outside. She was a little loosened from this morning, so she didn't need a lot of preparation. Soon, she had two, and then three fingers shoved up her ass, moving in a fast rhythm. "You ready, moondust?" Enaera could only nod her ability to speak having deserted her. Dietrich reared up on his knees and flipped Enaera over onto her. She folded her arms under her and rested her head on them, breathless with anticipation. Dietrich took his dick in one hand, while the other hand held her hip up for his ravaging. He slapped his thick length against her pale buttocks, smearing pre-cum over the gleaming, pale flesh. But to him, it looked just a bit too pale. It needed some color. He delivered a sharp slap onto one of her cheeks, making her yelp. However, she didn't object; instead she pushed her buttocks closer to Dietrich. He slapped her again, gleefully watching as that pure white flesh turned a rosy shade. Breathing hard, he rubbed his cock up her heated crack, moving frantically for release. The tip of his cock caught on the wet rim of her puckered hole. He pushed in just a bit, and then slammed it in. Enaera screamed at the sudden invasion. Releasing her hips, he dropped his whole body over hers like a wolf mounting his mate and thrust into her. Fucking into her hard, he bit the back of her neck, careful not to break the skin. Only on his mating bite did he ever take her blood. He held her like a mare as he took her, one of his hands reaching around to cup her breast. He pinched one engorged nipple, enjoying the sounds of her squealing. "Get yourself off," Dietrich managed to growl out between gritted teeth. Enaera was moving on pure instinct, glad for the tone of command in Dietrich's voice. She reached around and without having to be told, Dietrich took her fingers into her mouth. Once they were sufficiently wet, she brought them down to her pussy lips. She rubbed her clit in tandem to Dietrich's fierce thrusts. She felt so full, so good; the only thing to make this better would be to have Nolan underneath her right now. "Gimme a taste," Dietrich commanded, biting her ear lobe. She reached up again and fed him her fingers, grunting and moaning as his slick tongue slid around fingers. Bringing her fingers back to her core, she shoved them inside her, using her thumb to rub her clit. Dietrich's thrust grew faster and faster, until she thought she'd go into traction. Her breasts bounced with his thrusts, and she would probably have finger shaped bruises decorating her breasts. Dietrich muffled his shout in her hair as he came, his knot swelling inside her. She could actually feel that increased girth with her fingers and she rubbed that spot with her fingers, eliciting a grunt from Dietrich. She came from that and her fingers, moaning as Dietrich's cum filled her asshole. They stayed in that position, Dietrich slumped over her body. He was squishing her but she didn't care. She loved his weight, liked feeling being surrounded by his warmth. Her thighs were messy and wet and she loved it. She loved feeling like Dietrich's and Nolan's little wanton were. "That was amazing. You're amazing," Dietrich praised, kissing her ear. "Mmmm, glad you finally realized that." Dietrich chuckled above her, slowly sliding his softening cock out her stretched and gaping hole. He watched as his cum dribbled out of her used hole. It was slightly red and puffy, making Dietrich feel not unlike a caveman for the pleasure he took from stamping his indelible ownership on her. They really didn't have time for an afterglow cuddle, since the wolves were coming back from their run. Dietrich hastily shrugged off his shirt and shoved her into it while he tugged her shorts back on her bruised hips. Enaera caught some of his men snickering but Dietrich had quickly put a stop to that. She knew they could all smell his scent on her, their recent lovemaking making the scent even more prominent. Dietrich forced her to sit down again with a gentle kiss on her forehead and turned her around so she was facing the forest and not his men. Just like a child being sent to the corner. Enaera pouted and made sure to make her dissatisfaction known to Dietrich every time he came to check up on her throughout the rest of training. She tried to be as unobtrusive as possible but Dietrich made that hard what with coming up to her every thirty minutes, stealing a kiss, and generally being the perfect caring mate. What did it say about her that she couldn't even keep a good cold shoulder going for five minutes without melting every time he shot that grin of his at her with lethal force and called her moondust in that particular growly voice she liked so much? Oh, she was doomed. Doomed in sappy, corny love. Enaera sighed in happy contentment, feeling like she'd burst with it. "Alright, head back to camp," Dietrich finally shouted to his men. The other wolves let out sighs of relief and began the long trek back to camp. A large hand fell on her shoulder and Dietrich's hot breath beat down her neck. "Ready to go back?" Enaera snorted. Even if she'd already forgiven, she could still pretend to be pissed. It might just get her some hot, grovel sex. "If you ever do that to me again I'll -" Dietrich broke her off with a kiss, raving her already conquered mouth. She readily gave into him, wounding her arms around him. "You're getting better and better at this," he growled into her mouth. Enaera bit his lip in retaliation but licked the small wound after in consolation. "I thought you liked my kisses?" "I liked being the one to teach you," Dietrich smirked. "And you're a good student." She rolled her eyes. "How could I not be with you and Nolan always poking me? I don't think either of you have let me close my legs long enough before bending me over the nearest surface to poke me again," she purred. "Is that a complaint, moondust?" She giggled. "No, just a happy observation." She nuzzled into his neck, licking up the trails of sweat there. He smelled just a little musky and a whole lot woodsy. "Why do you always smell to this good?" she asked. She raked her canine teeth down his neck, making sure to make a small nick along his mating bite. Her tongue lapped up at the small beads of blood greedily. Dietrich regretfully pulled her back by her hair, fisting his hand in the messy locks. Hair he had messed not too long ago. Picking out some stray twigs and leaves, he dropped a quick kiss on her nose. "C'mon, it'll be a dark soon. We need to head back." She pouted. "But you tired me out," she exaggerated. Dietrich looked thoughtful, then looked up to the clear and still sunny sky. Looking mischievous, he stepped away from her and began to undo his pants. Enaera mock frowned and hitched her hands on her hips. "Really? I complain about being tired and you want to make it worse? You won't be satisfied until...you've...oh my god..." she trailed off as Dietrich's body began to shimmer, his skin rippling and stretching and morphing into dark scales. When he transformed into a wolf, it only took a few seconds. But a bigger paranormal like a dragon took some time. Enaera watched in awe a black dragon came to tower above her, blue-black smoke filtering through its nostrils. His scales weren't a true black like she had thought originally. A myriad of rainbow colors flashed over his scales, shining like obsidian in the sunlight. He was absolutely beautiful. She told him as much, although she didn't know how much he understood in this form. He hunkered down in front of her, his great, terrified muzzle lying at her feet. She moved around to look him in his silted eyes. She slowly reached a hand out, watching for any objections but he merely tilted his head closer to her. His scales were slick, almost like satin of made out of steel. He nodded his head towards his back, where small spikes protruded down his back right down to his tail. Laughing, she used his dragon claws to hoist herself up his back and settled on the smooth notch between his head and his back. Wrapping her arms around one of spikes like she would a pommel, she held him as tight as she could. Sharp wings flared out and Dietrich got up on his clawed limbs. With just a few flaps they off the ground and airborne. She gasped as they hovered over the forest, the wind rushing by her ear in a buzz. Dietrich took her higher and higher, slicing through the air and climbing into the clouds. Enaera shouted, whooping at Dietrich to go higher and faster. She blushed when she realized they were the very same things she had yelled to him that day, with a few variations. Dietrich must have realized that too since she felt a rumble of amusement throughout his body. "Having fun?" She jolted; she felt his voice more than heard him. Dietrich's trademark chuckled sounded throughout her head. "Dragons can communicate to their mates in whatever forms they're in," he explained. Enaera didn't really know how to explain it; it wasn't exactly words but she could feel what he wanted to tell her. It was a disconcerting feeling but she liked it. It was just another thing she loved about him. Stroking his scales, she whispered the words into his scales. She'd begun whispering the words into Dietrich's and Nolan's skins after they'd had sex and they'd fallen asleep in a tangle of sweaty limbs. "I love you, too moondust." Enaera smiled against his scales. They flew around until the sun began to set, throwing fiery beams over them. But she couldn't be bothered to pay attention to that when she had her mate underneath her. They flew straight at the dimming ball of fire and both watched as it finally slid away, streaks of purple and pink lingering on the skyline. Dietrich headed back to camp when Enaera patted his back, signaling she was getting tired. He slowly climbed down to the camp, prolonging the peaceful moment as long as he could. As the clearing came into view, Enaera felt a frown pulling at her face. The entire camp was empty; it looked deserted from her vantage point. At this time, the camp should have been teeming with activity. Dietrich flew down and landed quietly. She slid off his back and waited for him to transform back. He walked to one of the wooden posts that kept extra clothes for were and pulled on a pair of generic black pants. "What in the world is going on?" Enaera said to no one in particular. She reached for Dietrich's hand automatically, her voice filled with worry. Concern for Nolan was upmost in her mind right now. "I don't know, let's go find Nolan." They headed for the main hall and saw to their relief that the whole pack was gathered in the hall, some of them spilling out the doors. They mingled into the crowd, mostly unnoticed. All their attention was focused on the little tableau in the middle of the room. To her Enaera's shock, she saw Nolan, Andrew and his men, and a group of vampires talking. Just talking. To Vampires. The very same who'd been attacking them for the past few months. Dietrich pulled at her arm, trying to get his brother's side but Enaera held him back. He sent her a questioning look, but she just shook her head without looking at him. She was entirely riveted on what they were saying. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Nolan rubbed his eyes in frustration. The counsel was bickering like a group of seventy year olds fighting over the last bingo card. He'd much rather be out frolicking in the woods with his mate. He stamped down the jealousy at knowing that Dietrich was probably enjoying Enaera right this moment while here he was with his dick withering to dust. "Gentlemen, gentlemen! This is going nowhere," Nolan struggled to be heard above the din but using just a bit of his Alpha's voice helped. "We've increased the patrols but there are still attacks by the vampires. I say we bring in a friendly witch to cast a barrier spell around us." The men looked each other and began to murmur, some for the idea while others were vehemently shaking their heads. The three castes in the paranormal word, the shifters, the fairies, and the undead had never gotten along. But each had something that the other two groups wanted to protect themselves against the other group. It was like playing rock, paper, and scissors. And right now Nolan felt like all three had trampled all over him. "The witches will want our blood!" one were complained. "Dammit, but the vampires are already taking our blood! At least this way we'll be getting something in return," another defended. Nolan looked to see it was Seth and he nodded at the man in thanks. "Fuck that. I don't want to be a part of a pack that consorts with witches," another were sneered. Nolan recognized the man to be one of the men in Andrew's inner circle. "Fine," Nolan snapped. "You let the vampires attacks continue and there won't be a pack to be a part of." "Who the fuck made you leader of this counsel?" the were growled back. Nolan bared his teeth in a sad parody of a smile, feeling his eyes turn incubus red. The were swayed where he stood, mesmerized by his glowing eyes. "I did," Nolan hissed, feeling his blood bubble. "None of you, including your Alpha seem to realize the gravity of the situation and putting a bandage over a gaping wound won't fix things." "He's right," Seth seconded. Although he hated going against his brother, in this instance Nolan was right. He'd seen how Nolan liked to handle things in the past months and his ways was far more sufficient than Andrew's had ever been. "All this talk of witches is useless. We don't even know a witch that'd be willing to help us," another councilman threw out. Sweet Submissive Ch. 03 Nolan's eyes reverted back to their normal color but his sneer stayed tattooed to his face. "I know a few witches that would be willing." The same were from before, Brian, snorted. "A were that's friendly with witches! Is this the man you people want to trust with our lives? He's a fucking traitor to out kind." "He's not even out kind, he's a hybrid!" One of Brian's cronies shouted. A murmur started up in the crowd, some people getting aggressive and began to push against each other. "Quiet!" Nolan thundered, and everybody stilled at the fury in his command. "We will call in witches, we will cooperate, and you will shut the fuck up." Nolan used the full force of both his enthrallment powers as an incubus and an Alpha. He'd decided what had to be done when the first attacks had begun and he'd been trying to be diplomatic up until now. But every day that passed without a protection spell keeping them safe, was another day that Enaera was in danger. He didn't know how she did it but she'd quietly and quickly crawled into his heart until the hollow shell was filled with nothing but her. If something ever happened to her, he'd go feral. "What's this?" Andrew stormed into the great hall with a few more of his men. "Someone that's not the Alpha of this pack commanding them?" Nolan got up from his seat, which just happened to be the Alpha's seat. "Someone had to seeing as how you're always off on a hunt." Andrew narrowed his eyes at Nolan but said nothing. More and more, Andrew and a handful of his men would go off on hunts but come back empty handed. Nolan didn't know whether to be suspicious or disgusted; were they up to something or where they trying to find an escape for themselves? Andrew opened his mouth to reply but right then a dark shadow flew in from the open window. The weres shouted and cleared the middle of the room where the specter took an ominous shape. A lone vampire unfurled his long, black cape behind and stood between Nolan and Andrew. A dozen more of his coven flew in and took shape behind him, their pale faces and red eyes focused on Nolan. This was a strange occurrence since they usually just attacked at the dead of the night when a few weres were about and were easier to pick off. But directly confronting them was a bold move. "We sense two alphas in the room," the leader said to Andrew. Andrew growled and bared his teeth at the vampire. "I am the only Alpha of this pack!" The vampire tipped his head and smirked. "I suspect not. I can already sense your people's loyalties shifting to this hybrid. Nolan, is it?" Nolan nodded when the vampire faced him. "Gregori and this is my coven," the man gestured to the rest of the vampires. "This is a bold move, coming out here in the open when you've already attacked the pack," Nolan noted, watching the vampire closely. "Bold, yes, but not stupid like your tone implies." Nolan arched a disbelieving brow and the vampire continued. "Those attacks were just a warning. We want what we were promised." This time, his words were addressed to Andrew. Nolan whirled on the Alpha and saw that the man was avoiding his eyes, suddenly as pale as the vampires. Nolan turned back to the expectant vampires with a frown. "And just what is promised to you?" "Omega blood," Gregori purred, licking at his lips in a pantomime gesture of pleasure. One of Gregori's men stepped forward. "We've been getting a yearly supply of omega blood for the past fifteen years in return for your pack protection." Nolan inhaled sharply. "And where did you get this omega blood?" he asked Andrew, but the other man wouldn't look at him. Stomping towards him, Nolan grabbed the man's shirt. "Did you take it from Enaera?" Andrew shook Nolan's hands off of him. "I don't answer to you," he spat. "What I did, I did for the pack." "Does she know? Does she know what you've been doing with her blood? She would have been a goddamn kid when you starting taking blood from her!" Nolan's voice grew with each word. On the defensive now, Andrew shot a pure look of venom towards the vampires. "The blood donations were harmless. I took care of her ever since her parent's deaths! I protected her! Her blood was a small price to pay." Nolan was ready attack Andrew when Gregori's voice cut through the tension. "Enough bickering, werewolf! We want blood; we don't care about the how's. And if you think a measly witch is going to keep us out, you're pathetically naive. It didn't work last time, and it won't work now." "And we'd like to remind you, Alpha, the last time we took an omega body for your foolishness," the crony added. At that bit of information, Nolan's ears perked up. Omegas were rare, so rare weres killed each other over them. They were particularly useful for Alphas; when they went into a rage only an omega's connection could bring them back to normal. A rage was ten times worse than going feral, where a were only craved blood and was impervious to harm. While useful in battle, it wasn't quite as beneficial after the battle when the were couldn't distinguish between the enemy and his own pack. Past Alphas who hadn't had omegas had been known to slaughter their entire pack after a rage. Andrew already had an omega, where would he have gotten a second one? "What is he talking about?" Nolan asked Andrew lowly. He could feel his eyes glow red. "None of your business," Andrew spat. "Considering you were giving away my mate's blood for the greater part of her life, I'd say it's pretty much all my business!" Nolan thundered, feeling his skin ripple and his claws shoot out from his hands. A few of the vampires stirred, wondering if a battle was brewing. The weres began to grow nervous as well, some even turning into their were form. "Keeping secrets Andrew?" Gregori asked with an insidious laugh. "Why don't you tell Nolan here exactly how we were given the dead body of an omega; still full of enough blood to appease the whole coven?" There was a sudden ominous feeling creeping to Nolan, and he almost didn't want to hear what the vampire had to say. He wasn't stupid; he knew the vampire was only spilling Andrew's secrets now to create discontent in the pack and weaken them. "I-It was an accident. I swear..." Gregori looked triumphant; Andrew just deflated under all the scrutiny of the pack. He continued "We had been under attack for months now, and more than half of the pack had perished. My father died in the battles with the vampires." The other alpha had glassy eyes, but Nolan had no sympathy for the man. "Continue!" he yelled impatiently. "Two omegas were found during a routine patrol on the edges of our territory. We took them in, and the mother helped me with my rages. We were winning against the vampires for a while until..." Andrew was lost in the past and his eyes had a faraway look. "The omega was getting weaker because of the prolonged battle. She feared that we would start to use her daughter, who was already showing to be more powerful than her at her young age." "Enaera," Nolan stated needlessly. Andrew nodded. "The omega mated with the wizard we brought in and convinced him to help her escape." "And were you keeping them imprisoned?" Andrew glared at Nolan's impertinent question. "It was to keep them safe from the vampires. One drop of omega blood is worth a hundred of any other were's blood." "That is true. That's the only reason we haven't killed you so far." Gregori interrupted with a superior grin. Nolan narrowed his eyes at the vampire. He'd deal with that cretin later; right now he wanted to get the whole story out of Andrew. "I should have known better than to trust a wizard, they have never been trustworthy. The barrier he put around the lands was just a distraction for him and the omega to escape with Enaera. I went after them and..." "You lost control," Nolan finished for Andrew. He could fill in the blanks. If Enaera's mother had acted as an anchor for Andrew, then he would have been emotionally, if not physically involved. The betrayal of her desertion would have sent him into an Alpha rage and he could imagine what he'd done when faced with her leaving. "I lost control," Andrew repeated. "I didn't mean to, I don't even remember doing...it but when I came down from my rage, I-I ... "Andrew dropped to his knees, utterly defeated. The pack stood still behind him, taking in the shocking news as best as they could. Seth looked utterly devastated, never having imagined his brother could sink so low. He's been told that Enaera's mother had died fighting the vampires. Once the vampire attacks stopped, Andrew had told him that he'd gone in a rage and killed off numerous vampires. He'd said that it had scared them off and with her dying breath; Enaera's mother had brought him down from the rage before perishing from her vampire bites. "We smelled the blood," Gregori explained. "We had no idea that they had an omega. We made a deal. If Andrew gave us the omega's body, we'd keep his secret. Of course there was also an addendum. We would be getting yearly supplies of blood from the young omega you call Enaera." "Now you're two months past the last blood donation due date so our earlier agreement doesn't stand. We've come take the omega ourselves. Hand her over and there will be no more bloodshed." Nolan was really getting pissed by that other vampire, who even now looked smug in the face of such devastation. The pack was muttering amongst themselves, in disbelief that their Alpha could have done such a heinous thing. All Nolan cared about now was protecting Enaera from ever hearing this. And killing these bastards that could think that he'd ever just hand his nixxa over when he was still breathing. "Andrew?" They all turned to see Enaera in the middle of the crowd, her face pale and drawn with a glowering and barely leashed Dietrich by her side. She'd heard every, single word. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (muahahaha, yes i employed the cliched cliffhanger) Sweet Submissive Ch. 04 Ahhhhh, lovely and patient readers allow me to apologize for the long lag. Thank you to all the emails which urged me out of my writer's block faster :). So the last installment of this story is finally up so yah! and The Dark in Your Blue Eyes is up next, along with Gilded in Gold. Enjoy :). Edited by Adriana Belen :) P.s. Comment and rate, esp if you want a kind of sequel with Eneara's were babies :) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sweet Submissive: The Clincher "Andrew?" Enaera asked again, disbelief clear in her voice. Although she was still trying to process the shocking revelation, she still had the state of mind to put a restraining hand on Dietrich. Gregori's mocking laughter rang out in the room, his eyes glinting triumphantly. "Ah, you must be the sweet little omega we're all so interested in. How very delicious you look, even with the stink of that hybrid all over you." "If I were you, I'd shut that fucking mouth, before I stuff it full of more shit," Dietrich growled, his skin visibly bristling with the struggle to cage in his beast. Gregori just sneered at the hybrid Alpha, baring his razor sharp fangs in a threatening manner. The testosterone filled bickering between the males was just a distant buzzing to Enaera, whose tunnel vision was slowly becoming consumed with a red rage. What she heard could not be true. She trusted Andrew, did everything that he asked of her with a complacent smile and a nod for more. Andrew slowly got off of the floor and hesitatingly stepped towards Enaera. "You were never supposed to know," he said sternly, a stoic mask falling over his face. If anything, that only exacerbated the rage Enaera was feeling. "Why? Because I'm just a stupid little omega that does everything you tell her to? The omega whose mother you killed?" Her shill accusations cut through the room like a knife, and Andrew flinched. "You don't understand. Omegas serve Alphas and she ran," Andrew tried to defend, but Dietrich cut him off with an angry snarl. "And I suppose Enaera serves you right?" Lifting his head, Andrew looked Dietrich down. "She had for all these years and the pack had survived. It thrived. A little bit of her blood is a small price to pay for peace." Nolan snorted. "I hardly call this peace. Enaera no longer serves you." "As my Omega, she serves her Alpha!" Andrew shouted, getting indignant. "You killed my mother!" Enaera cried. "You're not even going to say sorry?! You are not my Alpha!" Her whole body shook with repressed anger and sorrow. Dietrich wrapped a supporting arm around her and rubbed his stubbled chin over her soft hair. Becoming impatient with the lack of attention paid to him, Gregori hissed. "That all happened in the past. We are here for the future, namely this Omega's future with us." A tall, red haired vampire stepped from behind Gregori and said in a sinuous voice to Dietrich "Hand the omega over. We had an agreement." "Fuck that agreement," Dietrich sneered. "As her mates, we protect her with our lives," Nolan concurred, drawing the attention of the vampire to him. Gregori took a deep breath, looking at his coven sideways. They all tipped their heads in some unknown agreement, and he exhaled with a smile. "So be it." With that, he attacked Nolan before he had the chance to shift. The entire room erupted in a confusion of black blurs fighting with fur. Many of the other shifters in room shifted just as dozens of other vampires broke into the room. Dietrich hadn't noticed the hidden vampires and growled as he shifted into his were form. Although his instincts as an Alpha was o fight the vampires, his topmost priority was Enaera and her safety. He pulled her back, looking for a place to hide her so that he could go help his brother. Since it wasn't the full moon, the were's bite was not lethal to vampires so their unnatural speed gave the bloodsuckers an unfair advantage over the weres. More and more vampires came into the room until there was an even amount of weres and vampires fighting in the room. The fight with Andrew momentarily forgotten, Enaera shifted and stared down the six vampires closing in on her and Dietrich. She had never faced a vampire so she was wary as she hid just a little behind Dietrich's larger frame. Without warning, three of them shot forward towards Dietrich with their fangs bared. Dietrich used his hind legs to push Enaera back as he bit down at the closer vampire, sinking his razor sharp teeth into foul, dead flesh. The blood pooling in his mouth had a vile taste. He gritted his teeth when he felt a blow to his stomach but he bit down determinedly and felt the bone snap in his mouth. The vampire screamed out in pain and quickly pulled back, only to have another of his brethren replace him. Whimpering, Enaera shot forward to help her mate but powerful jaws closed around her neck and dragged her back. Howling, she scratched at her captor and saw it was Seth. He gave a warning growl but let go of her neck all the same. Five vampires were closing in on them, surrounding them in a menacing circle. Enaera shivered when she felt their coldness touch her skin. Seth bared his teeth at the vampires in warning, trying his best to shield Enaera as much as possible. Without warning, one of the red eyed vampires attacked on Seth's left side, momentarily knocking the bigger wolf down. Enaera swiped out a claw but flinched back when another vampire snarled at her and bared his sharp incisors. She'd never been trained as a warrior; her specialty was in calming aggressive wolves down. Another vampire made a grab for her but she quickly darted out of hold and ran in the opposite direction. She spared one last look at Seth but he seemed to be holding his own against the vampire. The entire room had erupted in a warzone. Bodies were flying at super speed motions and screams of pain disturbing the previously calm night. Enaera's heart pounded in worry for her two mates, even though they were powerful alphas. As soon as she could hold them in her arms and see for herself that they were alright, she would do better. The brush of cold, clammy fingers added a burst of speed to her run but she was no match for four vampires. They quickly had her cornered, their eyes mad with bloodlust. They grinned at her in victory when they saw she had no way out and all the other weres were busy with fighting the other vampires. Enaera could practically smell the aggression coming off of them in waves. Without even knowing it, she let her omega pheromones escape like she'd do on instinct when her alpha or her pack were getting out of hand. Surprisingly, a few of the vampires stumbled on their way towards her. The confused faces encouraged Enaera to push through more of pheromones to calm them. She never would have thought that her power worked on another species. A few of them shook their heads off, growling momentarily before feeling the weakening sensation again. Enaera had to expend more energy, energy that she did not have. Panting, she fell on her paws on the ground. She was completely out of breath. No matter how angry Andrew had gotten, she'd never gotten this tired this fast. A vampire kicked out at her, catching her right in the stomach. Enaera grunted, the steel toed boots digging into her lower ribs. Through heavy eyes she saw that they were even angrier than before. With lightening speed they grabbed for her neck, their long nails digging into her pelt. Beads of blood rolled into her fur, staining the pristine color a vivid red. She didn't even have any energy left to protest at the rough treatment. Sobbing at her helplessness, she thanked fate for at least giving her a glimpse of heaven in the last few months with her mates. Nolan and Dietrich had shown her how it felt to be loved for her own self, not her powers. They made her feel beautiful and needed. Whispering their name in one last sentimental prayer, she just hoped that they would get out of this alive. Her life was forfeited now with the vampires. They'd suck her blood dry, and that was her being optimistic. "No!" Andrew shouted as he jumped on top one of the vampires restraining her, his deadly jaws clamping down viciously into one of their necks. Blood spattered across Enaera's face, momentarily blinding her. Quickly killing that vampire, Andrew went for the other three. They dropped Enaera to the ground to fight the Alpha off. The fall jarred her bones but she was grateful to be let go nonetheless. She watched as Andrew valiantly fought the three vampires, inflicting serious wounds with his claws and teeth. But three against one was no match at all, even if it was an Alpha. Andrew was already injured from what Enaera presumed to be from a previous fight, but he fought like he was possessed. He was fighting for her. Protecting her. Even if he was saving her life now, Enaera could not simply forgive him. This man had confessed to killing her mother. Another vampire fell dead at Andrew's paws when Andrew took a chunk out of his side but Enaera could tell the Alpha was tiring. Another vampire threw a punch at him, knocking Andrew to the ground. Enaera screamed as the same vampire fell on top of the large wolf and sank his teeth into Andrew's jugular. Andrew kicked out at him and swiped his claws at the vampire's chest. The creature was dislodged but before Andrew could make a move, another vampire crashed into him and bit the other side of his neck. This time, instead of sucking out his blood, the vampire clamped his teeth down and pulled. Enaera almost gagged on her bile when she saw the vampire swallow the chunk of flesh. Andrew scrabbled at the ground while the previous vampire took the opportunity to fall on the weakened Alpha and suck out his remaining blood. Andrew's dull and glassy eyes meet Enaera's horrified ones. "Run," he forced through his bloody teeth, his eyes struggling to remain open. In them, Enaera saw not a killer but a were regretful of his decisions and seeking salvation. "No, get off him you bastards!" Enaera burst out and tried to jump at the malicious vampire. Her body hit the vampire and she crouched over Andrew's body in a futile attempt to save him. The vampire grinned at her like a maniac. He lunged for her but was attacked himself in mid air when Nolan came out nowhere. In one quick move, he ripped the vampire's head clean off. He spit the blood out as if it disgusted him. Dietrich appeared right behind Nolan, and shifted in his were form. They created a barrier for Enaera as they fought off the remaining vampires foolish enough to come after her. Enaera spared her mates a loving look before she looked back to Andrew. "I forgive you," she said loud enough for him to hear. And she did. This didn't mean that she condoned his killing of her mother, just that she accepted his sacrifice for what it was. An apology. He nodded and closed his eyes and his life ebbed away. Enaera sobbed and laid her head on his still chest. So much death and so much pain; she let it all escape through her pain filled cries, muffled against Andrew's fur. But there was no time for grief. For every vampire that they killed, two more would show up. They had countless minions that they turned for war purposes. Nolan and Dietrich fought them as best as they could but they were swarming them in overwhelming amounts. "Dammit, Dietrich, shift!" Nolan signaled to his brother. "I need time!" Dietrich signaled back. It took a while for dragon shifters to transform. If the shifter happened to be injured or tired, it took a lot more time and concentration that they couldn't exactly afford right this moment. "I'll fight them off and give you time!" Nolan knew the only chance they had was Dietrich. He looked at Enaera's tear streaked face for confirmation before he launched himself inside the crowd of vampires. Enaera screamed out when she saw her mate disappear into the blackened figures. It was all a blur as Nolan and the dozen vampires fought in a lethal battle. All she could see was spots of red and hear the horrifying sounds of death all around. Nolan gave Dietrich the time he needed to transform into the terrified beast of lore. The vampires all sensed a growing tension in the air and glanced up at Dietrich's slowly forming dragon body. A few tried to attack but Dietrich was already finished. He opened his mouth and in one breath, he incinerated the vampires attacking Nolan. His fire breath turned them into ash around Nolan's prone and bloody body. Enaera crawled over to her fallen mate, horrified at the state of his body. Dietrich let out another blaze of fire towards a few unfortunate vampires and killed them instantly. They realized quickly enough, that they were no match for a dragon, no matter their numbers. Gregori, who held back from most of the fighting snarled in frustrating defeat. We will never give up," he gave Dietrich a final warning. "We'll be back for the omega. This isn't the last you've seen of us." With that, he transformed into a wisp of black smoke, the rest of his surviving coven following. In their wake, there was devastation strewn all over the hall. Many had died, and even more had been wounded. But Enaera's greatest worry was Nolan who hadn't moved as of yet. It looked like death had a firm hold of him. Dietrich shimmered back into his human form, immediately running towards his fallen brother. Enaera was crouched above his body teary eyed and heartbroken. Nolan was so close to death and she didn't know how she'd survive without her lover. "How is he doing?" Dietrich asked her. He cupped her cheek and pulled her into a small kiss, needing to reassure himself that she was still alive and breathing. She kissed him back desperately, needing the assurance that only he could give at a time like this. She pulled back and rested his forehead against his. Enaera looked down at Nolan's pale face and stroked him lovingly. "Not good. He'd lost a lot of blood and I'm too scared to move him. Oh, Dietrich I d-don't th-think I c-ca-" Enaera couldn't finish as she was overwhelmed by grief. She dropped her head to Nolan's chest and splayed her body out against his. The warmth of his body felt so calming. It was making her forget all her cuts and bruises. "Good to know I'll be missed," Nolan croaked, making an effort to raise his hand. Dietrich grinned in relief and helped Nolan lift his tired arm to place it around Enaera's shaking body. Enaera laughed through her sobs. "I can't live without you, but your sarcasm I can live without." "It's part and parcel, nixxa." Enaera could tell it hurt Nolan to talk but she knew he was just trying to relive her worry. So she smiled back at him as best as she could and kissed him. Nolan threaded her hands into her hair at the nape of her neck and held her tight to him, his lips seeking to reaffirm their bond. When she finally broke the kiss, she was left gasping. Dietrich chuckled above them. "Not even at death's door does your libido go down. How about we take this inside? Nolan glared up at Dietrich, who just nodded at their onlookers. The surviving weres were all looking at them. Enaera was too tired to deal with the aftermath of tonight's devastation and she knew many pack members were going to deal with grief because of the fallen weres. As omega, it was her duty to help them through it. Dietrich must have guessed her intentions. He took her chin firmly in hand and shook his head. "Right now my priority is you and Nolan. He needs you right now more than ever and you can help him heal. I'll deal with this." Dietrich's authoritative voice crushed any protest Enaera might have had and she gracefully gave in. Nodding, she crawled off Nolan's body. Dietrich grabbed up his brother and helped him stand up. They made their way through he throng of weres, though some made to intercept them. Seth took care of them, holding them back. The rest knew not to disturb the two hybrids and their mate. Enaera just wanted to hurry Nolan into their room and clean out his wounds. They were already healing but she didn't want them to get infected. They finally reached their room. Nolan leaned heavily against the wall near their door while Dietrich fumbled to open it. Once it was open, she helped to guide him into the bathroom. She had Dietrich lay Nolan at the bottom of the tub and she turned the water onto the hottest setting. Nolan hissed as the sudden temperature change but Enaera knew it would help soothe his aching muscles. Dietrich handed her a cloth to help clean him. "Incubus's feed off loving touches," he advised her. She blushed but nodded. Enaera knew that meant sex would help to quicken Nolan's healing process. "I'll go deal with the wolves. You just worry about Nolan." He made to leave but Enaera called him back. "What about you? I'm worried about you too," she entreated, raising her hand up to him. Dietrich smiled and took her hand. He brought it up to his mouth and kissed her fingers, his tongue savoring the salty taste. "I'm a dragon, Moondust. You don't need to worry about me." Eneara rolled her eyes, but smiled at him none the less. He winked at her before he left and she turned her attention to her other mate. "Sometimes I love being an incubus. Sex instead of medicine is one of the perks," he leered at her. Enaera slapped the washcloth against his chest in annoyance. He grunted, loosing that leer to a pained groan. "Sorry, but stop being so crass," she chided but washed him with the cloth, loving and gentle. Nolan chuckled. "I'm an incubus. Being a pervert is somewhere in the description, I believe" he explained. "I love you," Enaera said seriously, feeling the need to say it a t least a hundred times. "And your lewdness," she added as an afterthought. Nolan's eyes lost their mirth, only to be replaced by that gentleness that was reserved only for Enaera. "You are my life, my nixxa. Only you." Enaera sniffed back a sob and kissed him quickly. "Let's get you washed and into bed." "I like the last bit," he said, wiggling his eyebrows. Enaera just shook her head and quickly cleaned him as best as she could. Only the deeper wounds were seeping some blood but she was sure that could soon be fixed. Her own body was just as dirty so she joined him in the bath, careful not to hurt him further. Sometimes he'd try to grope her under the guise of helping her but she'd quickly slap his hands away. Finally they were both clean enough and got out of the bath. She helped him out of the bath and watched him towel himself dry. She'd tried to help but she'd backed off when he'd given an annoyed growl. She knew he didn't like being fussed over like a baby- probably having something to do with a male's foolish need to look macho- so she let him have space. She followed him into the bedroom as he headed straight for the bed with a single purpose in mind. Nolan stopped in the middle of the room, turning to face her. She walked right up to him and wound her arms around his shoulders. Enaera slowly backed Nolan onto their bed, pushing at his shoulder gently to urge him to lie down. She never wanted to see one of mates like this; bleeding and wounded. Nolan complied, sitting down heavily in the bed and lay down with his feet still planted on the ground. Gingerly, Enaera climbed up the bed to straddle his hips as she leaned down and kissed Nolan. She might be doing this to help accelerate Nolan's healing but the need to ascertain that he was still alive and breathing rode her hard. She wanted to claim him again, make him remember that he was dependant on her, as was she, and that she could never survive without him. Nolan was unusually passive in the kiss but he did bring up his tired arms to frame Enaera's hips. Cupping his cheeks, Enaera kissed down his chin to mouth at his neck. Sweet Submissive Ch. 04 "It's okay, I've got you," she murmured as she found the first of his wounds near his collarbone. She lapped up the blood, trying not to enjoy the taste under the circumstances but the metallic taste was delicious. Her pupils dilated in lust and her mouth salivated as she kissed and sucked down his chest. Nolan's self deprecating chuckle rumbled through his chest, ending in a groan as even that small movement sent bolts of pain through his body. "I should be taking care of you." Glaring up at him, Enaera couldn't help but slap at his stomach lightly. "Stop being macho or I actually will rub some dirt on it." Nolan groaned but smiled. "You're not supposed to make me laugh." "Then don't laugh." Enaera dipped head back while still keeping eye contact with him. "Just feel." The tears on his body were already knitting together, healed by Nolan's blood as well as Enaera's saliva. She didn't just lick at his wounds; she kissed every inch of hot kiss her lips could reach. Nolan threaded his fingers into her hair, guiding her with gentle pressure. Smiling against his hip, she gave herself over to his dominance as he used his hold to lower her head. Even wounded and hurt, he was still as sex minded as a full blood incubus and dominant as an Alpha. She placed small kisses down the growing length of his cock, finally reaching the weeping head. Taking the bulbous knob into her heated mouth, she hollowed her cheeks and sucked hard. Nolan grunted, his fingers tightening in her hair. She flicked her tongue against a particularly sensitive vein ion the underside of his cock, feeling the rhythmic pulse. It grew stronger with every suck and lick, she did it harder. Enaera struggled to swallow as much of his as she could, using her hand on the part of him that she couldn't wrap her mouth around. She used her saliva and his precum as lube as she expertly twisted her hand around his dick just like the way she'd learned he liked it. Her other hand wasn't idle. His balls were heavy and tight against her palm, she rubbed them, faster and faster in accordance to Nolan's small, shallow thrusts into her mouth. Nolan held her head against his groin and she let him. She gave him complete control as she just let him use her mouth for his pleasure. He kept thrusting into her mouth with deeper thrusts but was careful not to choke his mate. Every time his dick rubbed across Enaera's soft yet slightly rough tongue, it sent delicious bolts of lightning through his blood stream. He came fairly quickly, the orgasm taking him by surprise at the intensity of it. Enaera created a tight seal with her lips around his dick to keep every ounce of his cum inside her mouth. Nolan didn't want that right now. The need to mark her overwhelmed him. He pulled out and took his dick in hand as he painted her face with her cum. Enaera flinched when the first, hot stream hit in face in thick ropes of white but stayed still. It was so dirty and raw and just how she liked it. Nolan looked down at her complete debauched face, smiling at the sight she made, her violet eyes so full of innocence and trust while her flushed and aroused body painted the perfect picture of a wanton woman. "You're beautiful." Enaera shyly lowered eyes. She was about to wipe some of Nolan's come off her face but he stopped her. He pulled her up onto his lap, most of his strength restored. Straddling him Enaera grabbed a hold of his golden blond hair and locked her lips against his. He growled into her possessive kiss, fighting for dominance. E nipped at her lips, drawing just a hint of blood. She let her Alpha invade her mouth and taste all the love she had for him. He broke the kiss to lick up the cum on her face. She sighed under his ministrations, the worry finally leaving her body. He kissed her again, sharing his essence with her. Their tongues swirled around as she tried to steal away the delicious taste of him. Enaera pushed him down so that he was laying on his back and reared up over him. He arched a brow at her but made no move to roll them over. She wanted to give Nolan pleasure and him to just take. Getting up on he knees, she slotted the thick ridge of his dick into the moist crevice between her thighs. She rocked over her length, letting her natural wetness coat his cock. Nolan grunted, already hardening under her. "Now, nixxa, now," he commanded her. Through with her torture, Enaera guided Nolan into her pussy and slowly lowered herself until her buttocks slapped against his groin. Crouch above him, her hair crated a private curtain around their heads. She fisted her hands in the rumpled sheets beside his head and used the hold to push up against as she began moving her hips up and down. Nolan threw his hands back, the tendons in his neck standing out. It was an opportunity she just couldn't pass up. Enaera lowered her head and sucked on a tendon. Nolan grabbed her hips and moved her up and down, controlling the depth and pace of their lovemaking. He angled her hips so that his pelvis rubbed against her swollen clit on every downward thrust. The few seconds he allowed her to take control; she rubbed hr clit into his pelvic before he would quickly lift her up only to slam her back down. She creamed into his neck as she came, her body shaking as her orgasm burst through her body. Nolan followed her soon thereafter, shooting his cum deep into her womb. Enaera fell on top of his body, complete boneless and languid in her post-climax. Her sensitive breast rubbed up deliciously against his chest and sent small tingles throughout her already wrung out body. Nolan snaked an around between their bodies and tweaked one of her nipples. Taken by surprise, she let out a girly yelp. "Sensitive?" Nolan mocked not unkindly. In retaliation, Enaera nipped his nipple with her teeth. "Ow! I'm a wounded man," he complained even as he wrapped his arms around her. She juggled into his hold, just wanting to forget the whole day. Thinking about Andrew just brought more pain. She knew she'd have to deal with it sooner than later but for now she wanted to bask in the afterglow of sex with her lover. But that was not to be. A heavy knock sounded at the door and Enaera jumped up to open the door. She peered her head out in the small opening she made and saw to her relief it was Dietrich. He was clothed and looked relatively clean with only a few stains of blood and dirt clinging to his chest and pants. He looked weary but smiled back at her. He entered the room and ran an appreciating eye over her naked and flushed body. Even though they'd been having sex nonstop and daily for the past few months, Enaera found that she had the ability to blush. Her mates found the trait endearing. "Enjoy yourself, Moondust?" Dietrich cocked a brow as he pulled her into his arms. She let herself be held as Nolan got up from the bed and walked over to them. She nodded and tipped her head back to rest it on Dietrich's shoulder. Nolan blanketed her on the front with his hands at her hips. "What's wrong?" Nolan asked his brother. Enaera stiffened as she looked up at Dietrich but he wouldn't meet her eyes. "I helped clean the place up and dispose of the bodies." Enaera shivered at his words but Nolan ran his hands in soothing motions up and down her hips and Dietrich tightened his arms around her waist. "I've known you my entire life and I know that's not the thing that's bothering you. What did the pack do?" Nolan asked doggedly. Dietrich refused to look at his brother as he dropped his head onto Enaera's shoulder and ran his slightly cold nose up the side of her neck. She reached up and ran her hand behind his neck where she knew he liked to touch. She could feel that he was reluctant to tell them whatever he knew and she offered him comfort as best as she knew how. "The pack is in need of an alpha but you know there's a law against alpha's having omega mates. Even in the wild every pack has two dominant alphas leading the pack." Nolan frowned. "So what does that mean?" Dietrich growled in anger. "That means those mother fuckers wants one of us to do it and unmate with Enaera," he bit out. "Oh no," Enaera whispered. She was confident in their love of her to know that neither Nolan nor Dietrich would ever choose the pack over her. But Alphas were rare and a pack wouldn't survive without one. It went deeper than just having a leader to look for guidance to, it was an emotional and mental bond that an alpha shared with each of his pack that ensured their mental state from deteriorating that of a baser beast. Alphas held together the back into a cohesive unit. And Enaera couldn't live with herself if the pack she'd grown up with was torn apart because of her. But neither could she have one of her mates ripped away from her. "That's not going to happen." Nolan stated implacably. There was no question or hesitation in his voice. "But-" Enaera began but Dietrich shushed her. "No, nixxa, there is no question about this. We are mated to you for life," Nolan said, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. She looked up into his dark eyes, which only flashed red to reveal his incubi side when he was at the heights of his emotions. "But Nolan, they won't survive without one of you. Every pack needs an Alpha." "And do you want to be parted from us?" Dietrich accused, angry now at Enaera. "No!" she denied vehemently. "No, never. I love you more than my life but I don't see any other solution." First the vampires and now this, this was a fucked up day for sure. Finding out that the man who's raised her had killed her mother and then having to deal with attacking vampires and add this little fiasco on top was getting to be too much for Enaera. She was already emotionally drained from Andrew's death and she couldn't face with loosing either one of her mates. "There is an obvious answer to this," Nolan said thoughtfully. Dietrich frowned at him. "I'm all ears." "We are both Alphas. We both rule and that's in keeping with the counsels' archaic rules." A slow grin spread across Dietrich's rough features. "They're not going to like this," he said with relish. Enaera frowned up at him. "You almost sound happy at that." He winked down at her. "I am. Those bustards' had me screaming at them until I was blue in face and now we've found a loophole." Nolan nodded and grinned. "Now we know who's the brains and who's the brawn in this little relationship." "Hey!" Dietrich groaned. "Then what am I?" Enaera questioned with a teasing grin. "You're the beauty of course." Nolan kissed her swollen, red lips and laved at the abused beauties. "Come on guys, we'll have enough time for that later. We have to tell the council before they barge on in here with you to butt naked. I don't care about you," Dietrich waved at Nolan "but my Moondust does not get to be naked in front of others." "But I was naked when we walked back to our room," Enaera reminded him. Dietrich growled at the reminder. "And that was too much for my liking." Enaera rolled her eyes. They were shifters and there were bond to be more situations where nudity in public was unavoidable. But she liked Dietrich's possessive side been through she'd never admit that to him. he already had big enough ego without needing her to inflate it. Nolan, too, dressed in loose pants and they headed out of the room. Enaera walked in between them and she reached for their hands at they walked towards the growing voices of discontent. The wolves that weren't critically injured, of which there were many Enaera was pleased to note, were all waiting for them in the now repaired great hall. Seth trying to talk them down. They all quieted when they entered the room. The couple's clasped hand gave away the fact that they'd chosen to stay together. Seth's face was haggard as he walked towards them. "About time you three showed up. They're getting a bit antsy." Now that was putting it mildly. Enaera peered closer into his face before launching herself at him. Seth had just lost a brother. "I'm so sorry," she whispered into his ear before Nolan pulled her back and put her into Dietrich's arms. When she looked back at him, unshed tears pooled in his eyes. "You have nothing to be sorry for. He made the decisions he made on his own. I just hope he's made peace with his demons." "The man I knew protected me the best he could." Dietrich snorted Enaera's words but she ignored him. "I will remember him for that." Seth nodded gratefully before turning away to discreetly wipe at his eyes. The council took the moment to step forward and confront them. "Dietrich you know we need an Alpha pairing," one of the elders stated. He nodded. "And you have one. Nolan and I are both Alphas." "But you are mated to an omega," he cried, sparing Enaera a horrified look. Enaera knew the old man had nothing against her but the laws had been in place for a very long time. Even she didn't quite know why Alphas were not supposed to be mated to omegas. "That has no bearing on how we rule." Ever the voice of reason, the weres all listened to Nolan. The past months had taught them that while Dietrich was the more aggressive of the two, Nolan was the diplomat. An alpha needed both traits to have a successful pack but usually only posses one or the other. "The rules say two Alphas must lead a pack. We are following the rules." A chorus of protests arose but Dietrich opened his mouth and let out an inhuman roar of that of a dragons. Smoke flitted from his nostrils ad his snarling mouth, quieting the protesters. Nolan calmly continued as if his brother was not on the edge of going on a rampage. "Perhaps you do not understand. This is not up for debate. You need us, not the other way around. We will always choose Enaera over the pack. It is because of her ties and the love she has for you that we choose to ignore the insult to your mating and even consider becoming your alphas." Nolan's chilly voice was even more intimidating that Dietrich's growl. "Enaera makes us stronger, not weaker. We rule with her at our sides. If you choose to stay, then know that you will be ruled by my brother, Enaera, and I in tandem. If you choose to stay, then you have our protection from the vampires." At that, the weres looked at each other in speculation. They had not been able to defeat the vampires in their own. Only when Dietrich had transformed had their battle turned tides. Enaera saw as each of their objections fell to smithereens. "You accept us as your Alphas?" Nolan asked. One by one, each of the weres shifted and bowed their heads in submission. It took some of a few minutes but none of them left and soon Enaera was faced by a whole crowd full of weres. In awe, she watched as they bowed to her and her mates. Nolan too shifted, ripping through his pants as did Deitrich. She followed and shifted besides her two alphas. The two hybrids howled out their leadership, to be cemented one the full moon rose and they could make it official. The pack howled back in acceptance and Enaera watched in awe. Though the Crescent pack had been struck by tragedy today, they were strong pack lead by two strong Alphas. And Enaera had found her home in those two Alphas. She was absolutely certain that the vampires were no match for Nolan and Dietrich, Alphas of the Crescent Pack. Then End!!!
