Their Runaway Mate (18 page)

*****

Carter was in paradise. Anna’s body hugged his cock so tightly, and every time he pulled out, he rubbed against Drew’s cock through the thin membrane between them. He couldn’t think of a better place he would want to be than here, in this moment, with his mates, claiming his beautiful little human.

Then her pussy started to pulse, squeezing his cock, signaling Anna was near her peak, but having a hard time falling over the edge. The tingling started at the base of his spine, shot into his balls as they drew tight, and pushed him into his own orgasm. As he climaxed, shooting his cum into Anna’s welcoming womb, he bit into where her shoulder met her neck, drinking in her sweet blood, and causing her to scream out as she fell over the edge into her own release.

He knew the moment Drew bit into the other side of her shoulder because she screamed again and her pussy squeezed even harder, strangling him and pushing him into another orgasm.

They all shouted out, Anna calling their name, and the men yelling, “Mine.”

After long, blissful minutes, they climbed down from their release, and Drew withdrew from Anna’s ass, drawing a whimper of protest from her lips. Carter missed the feeling of her hot pussy as soon as he pulled out of her, but he held onto her as Drew climbed off the bed. He heard water running in the bathroom and then the bed dipped, signaling Drew’s return, and when he heard Anna’s sigh, he knew Drew had gotten a warm, wet washcloth to clean her.

When Drew was done, Carter adjusted a limp Anna so she lay at his side, her head on his chest. Drew joined them, laying behind Anna and spooning her, that way he touched them both.

“You belong to us now, Anna,” Carter whispered into her hair, kissing the top of her head.

“And we’re never letting you go,” Drew echoed Carter’s thoughts.

She sighed, and Carter could feel her smile against his skin, “And you both belong to me.”

Carter and Drew both chuckled at her declaration.

“Yes we do, sweetling, yes we do,” Carter agreed. “And we love you with everything we are.”

Epilogue

Anna smiled at her reflection as she looked at herself, dressed in a white wedding dress. It was a simple dress, with light fabric to keep her cool in the warm weather, but still beautiful. She hadn’t wanted it to be white, but Drew and Carter had insisted she was still innocent enough to wear it. As she looked at herself in the dress, she decided she agreed.

“Beautiful, doll,” Alyssa’s voice cut through Anna’s thoughts, surprising her and making her smile.

“Alyssa, you came,” she exclaimed, hugging her dear friend tight enough to cut off her air.

“Whoa, I said I would,” Alyssa said as she pulled out Anna’s death grip. “I’d never miss this. Sheesh, you’ve gotten stronger.”

Anna blushed, having forgotten she had become stronger since the men had claimed her, turning into a werewolf like them. She had already gone through her first full moon and was able to change on command, even though she had a bit of trouble changing back sometimes and needed Drew and Carter to talk her through it. She loved being a wolf, running through the woods with her mates, and finding secluded places to change back to human form to make love. The only thing she wouldn’t do was hunt, the thought of eating raw meat still made her stomach roll.

“I’m sorry,” Anna replied. “I’m just so happy you’re here.”

“Me, too,” Alyssa answered. “It’s been a long time since I have had actual woods to run in.”

“How do the men like it?” Anna asked, concerned.

After she had gone back to Drew and Carter, they had all asked Alyssa and her mates if they wanted to join their Pack. Carter and Drew knew how hard it was to be a wolf without a Pack, and felt they owed Alyssa for taking such good care of Anna.

“Jessie is having a blast, he has been running through the woods like he’s never seen a tree,” Alyssa joked. “Peter seems to be a bit out of sorts though. He never really got the chance to spend time in the forest as a wolf before the other Pack ran us off, so he doesn’t know if he likes it or not, but I think he’ll come around.”

“Does that mean you’re staying?” Anna asked, expectantly.

“We sold the diner and motel to the Vegas Pack and have all our stuff with us, so you’re stuck with us whether you like it or not,” she replied.

Anna squealed in excitement and hugged her friend again, “Oh my gods, that’s great!”

“Okay, okay, that’s enough for now,” Alyssa tried to calm her friend. “Let’s get you outside for your wedding. I think it’s awesome you took my advice about making them give you a human wedding.”

“I know, but I’m a bit nervous,” Anna replied, biting her lip and letting Alyssa guide her out of the house. “I don’t even have anyone to give me away.”

“What do you think I’m here for?” Alyssa snapped acting offended.

“Oh thank you, Alyssa,” Anna let her tears fall as joy filled her to have such a good friend. “I love you.”

“Now, don’t cry or you’ll make me cry, and I’ll have to kick your ass.” Alyssa commanded.

Anna laughed, and looked ahead of her as they came to the large group of wolves standing in front of chairs on either side of a white rug covering the ground. As she got closer, the people parted more and she could see a judge, who happened to be a member of the Pack, standing behind a pulpit, and Drew and Carter standing on each side in front of it.

They both looked so handsome in their tuxedos, and they both looked at her, perusing her body in her dress, hunger in their eyes, making her aroused and grateful Alyssa was keeping her standing upright.

“You might want to knock the arousal down a notch,” Alyssa whispered, teasingly. “Everyone is probably getting a good scent of it right now and you’re going to leave some unmated boys very hard and jealous.”

Anna blushed, wanting to push her friend away for embarrassing her, but by the time she considered it, she was standing in the middle of her two men and Alyssa was giving them a warning growl.

She looked from one man to the other as they smiled down at her, and then they all faced the judge.

“Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness, Carter Alexander Moorehouse, Andrew David Bentworth, and Anna Elizabeth Preston join in eternal matrimony.

If there is anyone here who contests this union, let them speak now, or forever hold their peace.”

The judge grew silent and waited, but all that could be heard was the sound of birds chirping.

“I believe Carter, Drew, and Anna have prepared their own words.”

Anna turned to Carter first, who looked into her eyes and swallowed, “Anna, before I met you, I hated everything to do with humans and thought the only good human was a dead one. Then you came along, confirming my thoughts,” Carter smiled devilishly as he teased her, as some people snickered. “Then I got to know you and found that I couldn’t be more wrong. You proved to me that not all humans are bad, and if I would just give one a chance, I could find something better than I ever knew. You are everything good and wonderful in this world. You are beautiful, compassionate, strong, wise, and a little bit too stubborn at times, but the most loving and caring person I know. I promise to love, honor, cherish, protect, and trust you for the rest of our days. I love you with every part of my being and will until my dying day.”

Anna smiled at the tear that fell down her tough Alpha’s cheek as he spoke, and then she answered.

“Carter, my Alpha, before we met, I had no idea there could be anyone quite so stubborn and pigheaded. You made me so mad and were so overbearing. However, after we called a truce and started to spend time together, I could have never been so happy to meet someone as strong, compassionate, intelligent, and wonderful as you are. You overcame your fear and let me in, not only into your home, but your heart, and you captured my heart in the process. I promise to love, honor, cherish, care for, and trust you for the rest of our days and I love you with every breath I take.”

After a few moments of smiling at one another, Anna turned to Drew to repeat the process.

“Anna,” Drew started, looking nervous. “Before you moved in with us, I met you at school and couldn’t have been more excited at finding my little human mate. I went home after school and told Carter about all the wonderful things you said and did every day, just to have him shoot me down when I asked to claim you. Then, I finally convinced him to move you in and give you a chance.

“I couldn’t wait to claim you and each day that I had to wait seemed to be like torture. Then Carter told me that you were ready to be claimed and I raced home, excited to finally be with you, only to betray your trust and chase you away.

“I had never felt anything as painful as I did when I lost you. The thought of never seeing your smiling face again, hearing your sweet voice, or smelling your delicious scent nearly killed me. I thought I would never see you again or get to tell you how sorry I was for what I had done, and I definitely didn’t think I deserved your forgiveness.

“Then you came to our hotel room to confront me and you forgave me. Even though I still hadn’t forgiven myself, you gave me another chance and gave me back my peace.

“Anna, I promise to love, honor, cherish, protect, and to trust you for the rest of our days. I love you, Anna, you hold my heart.”

The look of uncertainty and vulnerability on Drew’s face made her want to kiss him and wipe it away, but not before she said what she had to.

“Drew, you were the older professor that every college girl dreams of, just how much older was surprising though. I had a crush on you from the first class I had with you and it only grew the more time I spent with you.

“When you had hired me and moved me into your home, I thought it was because you wanted to be more than friends and have a relationship with me. Then I overheard you and Carter talking about me in your office the night Carter came home and you thought I was in bed. You said my smell drove you crazy and I thought you meant I stank. Carter said it wouldn’t be long and you wouldn’t have to worry about it and I thought you were going to throw me out. Then I watched you two embracing each other.

“Therefore, I went back to my room and packed to leave, but when I tried to sneak out the next morning, Carter caught me, and I found out the real reason I was in your home.

“You asked me to trust you and to give you time, and I did. However, you didn’t trust me back and I ran away, but I never stopped loving you. I never stopped wanting to be with you and it ached to be away from you. Carter surprised me when he came to the diner and told me how you had been beating yourself up about what had happened, but I still wasn’t going to go back to you.

“It wasn’t until my best friend, Alyssa, reminded me of how important you two are to me and how important our love is that I decided to go and confront you, and forgive you.

“Drew, I promise to love, honor, cherish, care for, and trust you for the rest of our days, and I love you so much, with everything that is in me.”

After smiling at each other, as Anna had done with Carter, they all turned back to the judge who stated, “I now pronounce you men and wife. You may kiss the bride.”

Carter was the first to kiss her, spinning her to face him and crushing her lips with his. Kissing her hungrily, his tongue delved into her mouth, wrestling her tongue into submission and making her dizzy.

Just as soon as it began, it ended, and Anna found herself turning the other direction, where Drew slowly brushed his lips against hers until she relaxed into his hold. Then he pressed harder, kissing her more deeply, and enveloping her in deep loving warmth.

Applause broke out as they parted and both men grabbed her hands to guide her down the aisle. As they went, people shook the men’s hands and congratulated the newlyweds.

Alyssa hugged Anna and congratulated the men.

“Oh Alyssa, thank you,” Anna said, hugging her friend back. “I’m so happy.”

“I’m happy for you, doll,” Alyssa said as she pulled away and looked at the men. “It’s about time you two men made an honest woman out of her. I was beginning to wonder if you had any sense.”

Carter gave a warning growl, but chuckled at Alyssa’s audacity, “You need to watch how you speak to your Alpha, little one.”

Alyssa just laughed, “Yeah right, I could take ya.”

Drew burst out laughing. “Now I know where Anna has been getting it.”

“Damn straight,” Alyssa retorted. “And it’s only going to get worse for the next six or seven months. Wait until that pup pops out and meets her new godmother. Just name her after me, okay?”

The men sobered immediately and Anna’s eyes went wide, “What?”

“Oh come on guys, don’t tell me you can’t smell the difference,” Alyssa needled.

The men sniffed the air, and then gaped at Anna.

“You’re pregnant,” Drew announced, while Carter just scooped her up into his arms and began walking toward the house.

“What are you doing?” Anna exclaimed.

“I’m taking you to rest. I don’t need you wearing yourself out. It isn’t good for the baby,” Carter declared.

Anna thought of arguing, but then Carter kissed her, stopping her response. He pulled away and Anna saw the devious smile he had on his face.

“I love you, my little mate,” he said as he winked.

She giggled and decided to let him run off with her, “I love you too, my Alpha.”

Once the three were alone in the house, Carter let her stand on her own, but then Drew picked her up and started running up the stairs.

“What are you doing?” Anna had to ask, but she just laughed as she watched Carter, chasing them.

“I’m taking you to bed to make love to you,” Drew said, truthfully. “I love you, my goddess.”

“And I love you, my sweet Beta,” Anna replied, kissing his cheek.

Anna finally had someone who loved her and she loved them. She was finally home.
