“I’m in,” Ban gasped after a moment, panting with his own need as he fought to hold himself still within Saige’s hot, tight passage.  Once Ban wrapped his arms around Saige’s waist and held her still, Faron reached down between them again and grasped his own heavy cock.  The moment he pressed the thick head into her hot, pulsating pussy she flooded him again with fluids.  He had to grit his teeth against the urge to just fuck her as hard as he could.  Instead he pressed himself into her carefully, her spasming passage made even tighter than ever with Ban’s cock filling her ass.  Once he was fully seated he had to take a moment to breathe and calm himself as Saige’s body continually pulsed and tightened against the hard flesh filling her.

“Okay Dav,” Faron bit out.  “Hurry.”

Faron and Ban were standing beside the bed so that Dav could stand on it in such a way that his cock was level with Saige’s mouth.  When Faron saw that Dav was in position he took another deep, calming breath.

“Saige, you are going to have to take Ban’s cock deep into your throat,” he said. 

Saige’s eyes flew to his, a startled expression on her face.  “How do I do that?”

“When he touches the back of your throat, you will need to swallow.  That will open your throat for him.  Do you think you can do it?” Faron asked.

“I can do whatever I must,” Saige replied, though Faron could still see worry in her eyes.

“You will need to take a deep breath first,” he told her.  “Once Dav is all the way in your throat, we will penetrate you with our fangs.  It will only take a few seconds, then you will be able to breathe even with Dav in your throat.”

Saige nodded, her worry replaced with escalating arousal.  “Okay,” she panted.  “Just tell me what I need to do, and I will do it.”

“We need you to lift your arms up.  Left one to Ban, right to Dav,” Faron said. 

Saige immediately did as he asked, not even noticing her own whimpers, or the tears running down her face.

“Now Dav,” Faron ordered, as he extended his mating fangs.  He watched as Dav lifted the head of his cock to Saige’s lips, saw her lick him lovingly before opening her mouth and taking him in as far as she could. 

“Take a deep breath,
amada
,” Faron whispered to her. 

Saige complied, breathing in deeply through her nose.  Faron glanced up at Dav who nodded that he was ready.

“Swallow now,” Faron said.  Saige immediately swallowed hard, once, twice, and was amazed when Dav slid deeply into her throat with a little popping sensation, but no pain.

 Faron’s eyes shifted to her slender throat, the sight of Dav’s cock bulging there nearly causing him to come right then.  He looked up at Dav who nodded tightly at him as he lifted Saige’s wrist to his mouth. A quick glance over Saige’s shoulder proved that Ban was ready as well, his fangs at Saige’s other wrist as he waited for the signal.  Faron nodded once, then lowered his own fangs to Saige’s neck. 

They all sank their fangs into Saige’s skin at the same moment, and froze.  Long seconds crawled by as they waited, hardly daring to breathe in this most crucial of moments.  Finally instinct told them enough, and they withdrew their fangs at the same instant.  Faron heard Saige take in a large breath and glanced at her throat to see that Dav was still deeply seated there.  He was so relieved that it took him a moment to realize that he was no longer in control of his body.  It seemed to be acting on instinct alone, without his conscious thought.  He knew that to fight it would be a costly error so he relaxed and let it happen.

Dav, Ban and Faron began to thrust in and out of Saige’s body in a precise rhythm that none of them were consciously aware of.  Their bodies moved faster and faster, harder and deeper with each stroke until all any of them could do was close their eyes and feel. 

Faron sensed a light growing inside of Saige.  He could just see it behind his eyelids, small and blue, glowing softly at first but growing rapidly the harder they fucked her until all at once, they all tensed as they climaxed at the same time.  Faron felt his seed rushing from his body and into Saige’s where it raced through her passage towards the bright light in the deepest part of her womb.  Once there it met with Dav’s seed and then Ban’s, all three of blending together within the light, causing it to grow larger and brighter.  Suddenly it began to vibrate, beckoning in some mysterious way towards each of the three men.  Faron felt it reaching out to him, coaxing something from him, straining towards him until finally something inside of him answered and flowed towards it in response.  My soul, he thought.  Like his seed before, his soul, the very essence of his being, flowed into Saige and raced towards the light in the center of her being.  A part of Saige entered him at the same time and he felt her essence sinking into his very skin and bone, a soft warmth of love and desire settling across his shoulders.  All at once the blue light within Saige flared so brightly that, even with his eyes closed, Faron felt blinded by it.  At the same moment, they all climaxed so hard that they had to hold tightly to each other in order to remain standing.  Faron felt his joints pop as his body tightened, his every muscle straining with an orgasm unlike anything he had every imagined possible.  He heard himself roaring with it, his voice rising to meet Dav’s, Ban’s and Saige’s, his heart so filled with love and joy he thought it might burst. 

After a few long moments Faron realized he had control of his body back.  Ban carefully withdrew from Saige’s body, as did Dav.  Saige’s head fell forward against Faron’s shoulder and she sighed deeply.  Ban lifted her gently off of Faron, and they all climbed onto the bed together to wait until their limbs stopped trembling.  After a few minutes, Faron, Dav and Ban began carefully inspecting Saige’s body, going over her inch by inch to insure that she was unharmed.  They paused to take in the lau-lotu markings on her body, the sight of them almost too wondrous to behold.  But that was nothing compared to the way they felt when they gazed upon the markings on their own bodies.  Saige’s green eyed loboenca form draped across Faron’s shoulders, Ban’s left arm and Dav’s right arm.  They could feel her in their skin, their hearts and their souls, along with a joy too intense to express with mere words.

“Saige, are you awake?” Faron asked softly.

Saige smiled though her eyes did not open.  “I am just enjoying the way I feel right now,” she said.  “I feel connected to each of you.  I have been alone for so long, thought I would always be alone.  Now, I will never be alone again.”  Her eyes opened and she gazed lovingly at each of them.  “Thank you for this.”

“She performs a miracle and thanks us for it,” Ban chuckled.

Saige smiled at him and opened her mouth to say something.  Whatever it was, the words caught in her throat as her eyes widened.  “Lariah?” she asked quickly, fear in her voice.

“Do not worry,
lorea
,” Dav soothed.  “Lariah has given birth to her daughters, and all of them are perfectly fine.”

“That’s wonderful news,” Saige said, her eyes misty with happiness and relief.  “When can we see them?” 

“In the morning,
amada
,” Faron said as he reached out and plucked her off the bed as though she weighed nothing.  “It is very late, and I am sure they are all sleeping now.”  He carried her into the bathroom, Dav and Ban right behind them, and set her down to turn the water on in the shower.  Her gasp had him spinning around, his senses instantly alert for danger.

Saige stood staring at her reflection in the mirror, tracing the images of her men on her flesh.  Faron’s lobenca draped across her shoulders, his long, striped tail running down her back, his pale blue eyes staring back at her in the mirror.  Ban’s loboenca wrapped around her left arm, Dav’s around her right, their eyes seeming to gaze at her as well.  She wasn’t entirely sure how it was she could tell the three of them apart in their loboenca forms as they were identical to each other in that form.  But to her, they were each distinctly different.  She would never confuse them. 

“They are so beautiful,” she breathed, tears falling from her eyes.  

“Are you unhappy?” Dav asked as he eyed the tears worriedly.

“Not at all,” Saige replied, laughing even though the tears continued to fall.  She turned to look at Dav, her eyes going at once to the loboenca now curled around his right arm.  It seemed smaller than her loboencas, clearly feminine with more delicate features and finer bone structure.  Its eyes were the same light green flecked with gold as her own. 

“Is that what I will look like?” she asked, reaching out to trace the markings along Dav’s arms with one finger.

“Yes, that is you,” Dav replied.  “You are just as beautiful in your loboenca form as you are in your human form.”

“I am so happy I cannot believe this is all real,” she said, tears continuing to fall unnoticed down her cheeks.

Faron picked her up and carried her into the shower.  “It’s real,
amada
,” he said.  “Apparently, even impossible dreams come true sometimes.”

The next morning Faron, Dav and Ban exited the guest room with Saige tucked comfortably between them.  Saige nearly rolled her eyes at their overprotective behavior, but restrained herself.  They had been through a lot in the past twenty-four hours.

They stepped into the living room to find a large group of warriors gathered there.  Saige’s men edged closer to her, though all of the men present were known to them, and were trusted.

“Congratulations, Lord Protector,” Garen said, rising from his chair.  “Congratulations to all of you.  Saige, I am glad to see you are up and about.  How are you feeling?”

 “I feel wonderful Garen, thank you,” Saige replied.  She realized that the men in the room were all staring at the markings on her arms and she blushed, though she did not try to hide them.  The stares were not insulting or rude.  On the contrary, they were nearly awestruck with wonder. 

 “We would introduce you to our Arima, Saige Shira Lobo,” Faron said formally.  All of the men in the room rose to their feet and bowed to her.  Saige shot a panicked look at Faron, uncertain what she was supposed to do.  He smiled and tucked her closer against his side.

“Saige, you know the Katres,” he began.  Saige nodded at the familiar faces of Maxim, Lonim and Ranim.  She was then introduced to another Katre male-set, the youngest siblings of Maxim and his brothers.  Their names were Lian, Tyeran and Malcan.  After that was a Falcoran male-set, and a Gryphon male-set, but she knew she would never remember their names so she focused on their faces instead, hoping that if she saw them again, they would at least be familiar to her.  Just as Faron finished the introductions, three more men entered the room.  These faces were very familiar to Saige and her smile brightened at the sight of them.

“Jackson,” she said, “how wonderful to see you.  And you Clark, and of course Rob.”

The Bearens returned her smile and bowed, their eyes widening as they spotted the lau-lotu on her arms.  “Congratulations are in order I see,” Jackson said happily.  “So now there are two Arimas.  It is an exciting time for Jasan,” Jackson said.

“Lucky damn Lobos,” Clark said good naturedly.  The room rumbled with male laughter.

“Saige, would you like to visit with Lariah and the babies now?” Faron asked.

“Babies?” Jackson asked, shocked.  “Have the babies been born then?  When?  Are they well?  How is the Princess?”

“They have been born, last night, and they are well, as is their mother,” Garen said with a grin.  “All here will have a chance to see them later.”

Every man in the room sucked in a startled breath at that.  None of them had imagined they would be so honored as to see the newborns so soon after their birth.  As one, they bowed to their Princes for the honor done to them.

“Come,
amada
,” Faron said softly as he guided her across the living room and into the short hall to the bedroom.  Faron opened the door for her but did not enter himself.  “We will see you soon,” he said to Saige.  She nodded her head, not wanting to be separated from her men so soon after their linking, but knowing they had to attend the warrior council taking place in the living room.

Za-Queg was both furious and resigned.  He stood in his quarters and gazed at the damage done to his
makina. 
He knew that, even if Xaqana-Ti forgave his failure at capturing the Arimas, his carelessness in allowing the
makina
to be damaged in such a way that bits of it were left behind in enemy hands carried its own penalty.  Ironically, the higher one’s rank, the more severe the penalty.  But that was because the higher one’s rank, the more advanced one’s
makina
was.

A short beep sounded from his private comm device.  Not really caring all that much who was contacting him or why, he reached for the tiny switch on his wrist band and pressed it anyway.  A moment later he was listening to the harsh tones of a human female’s voice.  He nearly cut it off, but something she said caught his interest.  He checked the display and saw that the recording had been sent to him by Lio.  For that alone, he instantly decided, he would not destroy Lio before he left the sector as he had planned.  He listened to the recording twice, his anger intensifying as he placed more and more of the blame for his failure to obtain the berezi on the human female called Darleen.
