longed for.
Calt stood and walked toward the door. Dak and Calus raised their heads, expecting him, but he told them under his breath, “Later.”
They lowered their muzzles and closed their eyes.
Chapter 3
T urning to watch his sudden exit, Ali blinked at the empty doorway. “Well, that was fast,” she said under her breath as she glanced to Shaynah. She had the impression that she was the mother-wolf; her maternal energy was strong and potent. But Ali found comfort there; the white-haired she-wolf seemed to be already dozing, her long snout rested on one soft paw. Ali watched the gorgeous beast sleep for a few seconds, marveling at how different werewolves were from what she’d been told. They looked like normal wolves other than their great size, and she guessed that size might be ‘explained’ in the normal world if enough of them had been seen over the years. She imagined farmers explaining them to neighbors with their arms spread wide like they did when telling of the fish that got away.
“He’s gone to talk to her,” Lorn whispered, bending over to pick up a piece of raw meat for herself.
“Oh,” Ali muttered under her breath. She shifted her gaze to the flames, letting the amber and yellow flicks of heat do their best to soothe her jealous heart. Fire has a way of calming the soul and time passed as she stared. When sparks flared out from a new log, Ali jumped and looked up, surprised to find Lorn had cleared up the meal and was replenishing the fire.
“I didn’t even know you’d left,” Ali whispered, more to herself than anything.
“I know. You were in another world.” Lorn sat on the rocks again, her legs slightly open, the pale pink of her folds visible beneath tufts of dark brown curly hair. All of the wolves were unshaved and it was incredibly sexy in a primal way–hard to avert one’s eyes from, but Ali managed to as quickly as she realized she was staring. Her own body was shaved, an annoying thing to maintain. She hated doing it. Here was one more thing she could envy about them, and one thing she’d get to join them in over time. She couldn’t wait.
“Yeah, I guess I was.” Ali glanced around the room because the air felt different. Two more wolves missing–Borhan and Lucin. Shaynah still slept, and Calus did, too. But when Ali spied Dak awake and staring at something across the room, she felt a tingle take hold of her. His yellow eyes were intense and she followed them to see Bloo stretching with satisfaction on her pretty face, her dark nipples perked up on risen breasts as her arms reached high. The muscles on her thighs pulled and her toes reached out.
“That was a nice meal, Lorn. Thank you,” she groaned on a stretch. When she opened her eyes, Bloo caught the lustful gaze admiring her. She paused for a moment and stretched her arms to one side as she offered him a smile, her long eyelashes like butterfly wings, gracefully fluttering. Ali’s mouth slackened as the she-wolf dropped her arms and crooked a come-hither finger to him.
The immediate sounds of bones cracking echoed through the cavern as the wolf became a man. He was something else, with his red hair, pale skin, and body of a warrior. He wasn’t as tall and majestic as Calt was, but he was male through and through, and Ali’s body responded instantly to his nudity. Since he was not looking at her, she felt safe to check him out without feeling like she was being unfaithful to her alpha. Who would know? She took her time tracing the lines of his body with an appreciative stare. She admired the way his muscles moved as he walked with purpose. The way his cock bounced, the engorged tip pointing at the she-wolf who called to him. As his tight ass came into view, she was mesmerized…but then she blinked rapidly as she realized these two were going to have sex right here, out in the open. Thrilled, she glanced to Lorn for confirmation.
The young beige-eyed wolf motioned with a jerk of her chin to watch, waving
