WHITE VALLEY

Chapter One

Dakota walked slowly through the thick trees. There was a stitch in her side and her breath was coming in short pants as she struggled to fill her lungs with air. This was supposed to be a nice relaxing weekend away. Just her and nature. It was a way to step back into the past, to a time when she had a family to do things with. Before the accident that took her mom, dad and baby sister away. And it had been until she awoke this morning and got the bright idea to go hiking in a different part of the forest. If she had it all to do over again she would have ignored the voice that kept calling to her and urging her in this direction. Well, no, she wouldn’t have, but it was a nice thought.

Where she was going she had no idea. At least she had thought to grab her backpack from the tent this morning, so she had a few bottles of water and a box of granola bars along with a flashlight and first-aid kit among other odds and ends that she carried with her.

All she knew was that she had to keep going. Something was urging her on. She felt compelled to keep going, like she would know what to do when she got to the right place. She blew out another breath and switched her backpack to the other shoulder. Was she crazy? What the hell was she doing out here by herself? And hiking on an unknown trail alone? What was she thinking?

She came to a clearing in the middle of the forest and realized that she had no idea where she was anymore. This valley wasn’t on the topographical map, at least not any that she remembered seeing and she had been coming here since she was twelve. She stumbled along looking for some familiar landmark that would help her figure out just where she was. But no matter how hard she looked, nothing seemed familiar. She heard the sound of water and followed it until she reached a cool brook. Continuing along beside it, she soon found herself in what appeared to be a lush garden complete with waterfall and a base that seemed deep enough to swim in. Or if she was lucky, bathe in.

“Hello?” Dakota called though she didn’t know what she would do if anyone answered. “Hello?”

Thinking herself alone, she tumbled to her knees and began slowly taking off her shoes. She just wanted to wash the dust off and maybe the memories of what had driven her to take this trip by herself this weekend. The memory of walking in on her fiancé while he was with another woman. The same fiancé who thought it was so important that she remain a virgin before they were married. Because he wanted their wedding night to be so special. Please. She was a gullible, stupid fool. She just wanted to wash it all away and go back to the way things used to be. She shook her head with disgust. No, she didn’t. She couldn’t lie to herself. She wanted to forget what’s-his-name ever existed.

Why fate had stripped her of people who had loved her completely and unconditionally and then put her in the hands of such a jerk she would always wonder. She’d never made friends easily and now that she had severed her tie with him, she was truly all alone in the world. When would she find a family of her own? People to love and comfort her? When would it be her turn for happiness?

The water seemed to call to her as if it would give her exactly what she desired. With renewed energy Dakota began peeling her clothes off with only one thought. Submerging in the crystal blue water before her.

Dimitri and Sebastian Cordova followed the sounds to the bridal pool and stood hiding behind the lush foliage to watch the woman undress. Her hair was a cascade of sun-kissed brown curls that reached nearly to the small of her back. Her breasts were high and full, her stomach concave. The flare of her hips called to man and beast alike urging them to take and mount her. Her buttocks were creamy and smooth and it was all they could do to control the wolves that sought to howl inside them. She was sheer perfection and the brothers wanted her.

Who is she? Sebastian asked through his link with his brother. Have you ever seen her before?

Never, Dimitri answered. She cannot be from the Valley.

But she bathes herself in the bridal pool. Sebastian stated that fact as they continued to watch her frolic and splash in the water. It is only for those who are preparing to mate. You know what the water will do.

Dimitri’s grin was carnal. Yes, we do. But I’m guessing that she doesn’t.

Sebastian laughed softly. Good thing that we are here to see that she does not suffer needlessly.

You are saying that you want us to claim her? Dimitri asked just to be sure that his brother was thinking the same thing that he was.

We have reached our twenty-fifth year. It is time that we claim a mate. Sebastian turned to look at Dimitri’s face. Tell me you do not want to mount her right now. Tell me that your wolf is not howling for release.

You know that it is, Dimitri told him.

It won’t be long now. The waters will work their magic soon and then she will be ours. Sebastian glanced back at the woman and almost groaned when she stood from her play. Water dripped from her pebbled nipples. It clung to her body and he wanted to lick every inch of her skin before placing her on her hands and knees and claiming her in the way that his wolf demanded.

Soon, Dimitri murmured, his eyes glued to the woman as well. Soon all three of their lives would change. The bridal pool would ensure it.

Dakota stepped from the water and frowned. She had been so sure that the water would cool her off but it felt like her body was on fire. She groaned and lifted her hands to her breasts. A thousand tongues seemed to be licking over her body, exploring her. She gasped again and one hand slid down to her curl-covered mound. She could feel the moisture slipping from her vagina to mix with the water on her thighs. She burned there, deep in her center with a need for something she had never known before.

Her hand tentatively went to her clit, so swollen with need that it protruded from its hiding place, begging for attention. She brushed her fingers over it and cried out at the pleasure that so small a movement sent through her. Her nipples were on fire and she took her other hand up and pinched one of them as hard as she could handle. And came. Her orgasm rippled through her womb and spiraled out until she felt it in her fingers and toes as well.

She collapsed onto the plush grass at her feet and lay back, eyes closed, panting. The orgasm should have helped, but if anything, it had only made things worse. Her nipples were even harder and her empty channel was clenching, trying to grasp something that wasn’t there. She cried out as her body’s demands grew more and more intense. What was happening to her?

“Oh, God, what do I do?” she cried. “How do I make it stop?”

“You don’t,” a voice spoke softly from just above her and Dakota jerked her eyes open. “We do.”

She didn’t realize that she was holding her breath until her vision started blurring. She let it out with a whoosh and inhaled again, filling her lungs with more than just air. She could smell the sexual musk of the two men standing over her, undressing. Undressing! Oh my God, they were undressing and they looked even better without clothes on. Sweet merciful heaven, if this was a dream then she didn’t want to wake up.

The two men were almost identical in every way. Both had long dark hair that hung in waves to their necks. Two sets of bright green eyes were busy looking their fill of her splayed body. They were maybe six feet tall with long, lean muscles that made her think of runners’ physiques. As the clothes continued coming off she caught her breath again. Each chest was covered with crisp black curls that tapered down a washboard abdomen to what lay below. And there was a lot below.

As they stepped out of their jeans she could see just how excited they were. Both cocks stood to attention. They were mouthwatering, like the cocks displayed in the Playgirl magazines she often looked at. They weren’t overly long, but the width was almost as thick as her wrist.

“I’d like to do that for you,” one of them said to her and when he nodded at the hand buried between her legs she was startled to realize that she was fingering herself. She had been so wrapped up in watching them that her body had taken over. But now that she was aware she felt the enormous pressure building inside her, the violent clenching of her vagina.

“Why is this happening to me?” she found the strength to ask.

“You bathed in the bridal pool,” the other one answered and they knelt on the grass, one on either side of her. Their cocks bobbed up from their laps, begging for attention, and Dakota really wanted to give it to them. More than anything she wanted to experience everything that she had been denied with her fiancé. She wanted to touch and explore. But most of all her body was screaming for sex. That pool of water seemed to have ignited her hidden hunger into a raging inferno that only the act itself could satiate. What had they called the pool?

“The bridal pool?” Dakota was lost again or maybe she just couldn’t focus.

“It is where our women bathe when they are preparing for the marriage bed. It aids in the first time,” the one on her left said and he gently ran a figure down her arm to where her fingers were still busy tugging at her nipples. “You do not know of the pool?”

“No,” she whispered, “I’m not getting married.” Not anymore, she added silently.

“But it is law,” was the reply from her right. “You cannot break the law without being punished.” His hand trailed her arm to where she had two fingers moving in and out of her desperate flesh.

“Punished?” she moaned.

“We will not let you be punished,” was the promise before her fingers were pulled from her nipple and replaced with the rougher, calloused ones.

“How,” she managed to force out as the fingers moved to her other breast and lips began to gently suck on the first one.

“You will form a marriage bond with us,” she was told and a thicker finger joined with her two, stretching her virgin channel.

“But, but…” There was something she needed to say but for the life of her she couldn’t think. What came out instead was, “Both of you? I don’t even know your names.”

“I am Dimitri Cordova,” said the man with his finger in her pussy. She glanced at the other brother but it was Dimitri who continued talking. “And since he is too busy enjoying your bounty to introduce himself, that is my brother Sebastian.”

“I… You can’t marry two men,” she whispered and almost laughed at the absurdity of this conversation. There were so many other things that she should be saying. Like, “I don’t talk to strangers much less fuck them”. Like, “I’ve never had sex with one man much less two”. Or what about, “Where are the condoms because I don’t see any lying around in the grass”?

“It is the way of our people for one woman to mate with two men,” Dimitri told her. Then he used his other hand to tug her fingers free and bring them to his mouth where he sucked greedily on them. They both moaned with pleasure. “You are so hot and wet, gripping my finger with your pretty cunt. Your taste is better than the sweetest wine, spicy and rich. I could eat you forever.”

“I’m Dakota,” she whispered. “Dakota—”

“Dakota Cordova,” Dimitri said, interrupting what she had meant to say. “From this moment on you will be Dakota Cordova.”

Sebastian finally released her nipple with a pop. “From now on you will be known as ours.” His eyes seemed to glow as he spoke. “From this moment on you will belong in White Valley as the sacred mate of the Cordova.”

“White Valley?” she questioned with the last shreds of nonsexual awareness she had.

“That is where you are, love,” Sebastian informed her. “White Valley, home of the weres for too many generations to count. The last true oasis for our kind.”

There was something so wrong with that sentence but she couldn’t put her finger on it at the moment. The heat was too much, the desire to be filled taking precedence over anything else. “I need,” she groaned and cried out when the finger pushing in and out of her channel was joined by anther.

“We’ll give you everything that you need, Dakota,” the promise was whispered in her ear as teeth nibbled along her neck and shoulders. “You have only to say the words.”

“What words?” she demanded, her body screaming for relief.

“All you have to say is that you choose us. Just say that, Dakota, and we’ll make it all better.” The promise came from her other side and Dimitri’s fingers began pushing harder and faster, his thumb strumming over her distended clit. “Just say, ‘I choose Dimitri and Sebastian Cordova as my mates’. Only by freely accepting us and our desire to claim you can we aid you.” He lifted a hand and waved it over her body. The debilitating desire seemed to vanish for a moment so that she felt herself once more. Oddly, she missed the desperate burning ache from moments before.

She looked up and was lost in the deep green eyes staring into hers. With no thought to the consequences the words left her mouth. “I choose Dimitri and Sebastian Cordova as my mates.” And the all-consuming sexual need raced through her body once more.

She cried out at the feel of sharp teeth biting into her shoulder where it met her neck. It was like a dog’s bite, sharp and painful. Then a rush of euphoria went through her and it was better than any man-made drug. She felt boneless, like she was floating on clouds instead of on her back in the grass with two aroused males bending over her.

“You bit me,” she moaned as he licked over the mark he had left on her flesh. “Why did you bite me?”

“I marked you as mine,” Sebastian told her. “My saliva will help to relax you more and prepare you for what is next.”

She was mesmerized by his hand stroking the length of his thick cock up and down. She licked her lips, bringing a groan spilling from his lips. “What is next?”

His face was a mask of carnal intent that took her breath away. “Fucking. Next is fucking.”

“Yes,” she breathed the word, somehow knowing that her whole life would change in the aftermath of what she experienced next. But it wasn’t fear that she felt. It was anticipation and desire. She was most definitely ready for the fucking.

Dimitri could barely hold himself back from what his body wanted, what his wolf cried out for. He wanted to plunge his swollen cock as deep in her hot cunt as he could get, filling her with his seed. That was the only thing that would appease the beast inside and allow him to keep from letting the animal take over. She already bore his brother’s mark on her shoulder and soon she would have his as well. It was time to ensure that she was marked by their seed, ensuring that any other male who came upon her would know that she was claimed and mated.

Women were scarce in their band of wolves and thus the need for two men to share one mate. It was one way to ensure that their species continued to exist. Or maybe it was just a way to ensure that death was not an everyday occurrence as men fought in both human and wolf form for the few women single and old enough to claim. No matter the reason it was working and they were continuing to thrive.

He thanked the goddess Enuba, sacred mother of the White Valley for bestowing the gift of Dakota on him and Sebastian. She was everything that the brothers could wish for in a mate. In time they would come to know her better, obtain the intimate thoughts of her heart and mind. But for now they must continue the claiming of her body, ease the fires the water had set burning in her treasured places.

He and Sebastian exchanged glances, communicating what they desired to do next.

You wish to mount her now? Dimitri questioned. She bears your bite already.

I wish to taste the sweet nectar clinging to your finger. I need to bathe my tongue in her essence, washing away all tastes that have come before her. Sebastian’s moan filled Dimitri’s head.

Dimitri slowly removed his finger from Dakota’s pulsing channel and lifted it to his mouth for another taste. She is indeed a tasty treat.

Sebastian groaned out loud and quickly positioned himself between her thighs, burying his face in her curls and inhaling deeply of her sexual musk. He ran his tongue over the plumped lips of her sex, nipping them with his teeth and sucking them with his lips until she bucked against his face in a demand for more. He heard her sharp cry fill the air and knew without looking that his brother was eating at the ripe fruit of her breasts. They were enough to satisfy even the pickiest of men. Only when he could wait no longer did he part her folds with his finger and thrust his tongue into the weeping portal of her pussy.

Her taste washed over and through him and his wolf howled with pleasure as he fed from her juicy cunt. He couldn’t work his tongue deep enough, couldn’t lap fast enough at the nectar that flowed so freely. She was the sweetest ambrosia just as Dimitri had promised. Spicy and hot, she filled his mouth and overflowed his senses. He would love to dine on her for hours, for days, but the pulsing of his cock was a brutal reminder of other pleasures that he could and would find with her.

I can’t wait any longer, he warned Dimitri.

Then don’t. Dimitri’s pant filled his mind. Claim her fully that I might begin my claim as well. I can barely hold my wolf back either.

Wasting no more time, Sebastian came to his knees between her thighs and lined his hungry shaft up with her opening. He could tell from her taste, from her clean smell that she had known no other before him. She was pure, untouched by the seed of others and this made her a special gift indeed from the goddess. A gift that he and Dimitri would treasure for the rest of their days.

She was as tight as a fist, her sheath fighting as he pressed inside her. He fought against the wolf’s need to thrust violently inside, to claim as an animal in heat. He was not just the wolf, but a man as well and it was the man who she needed this first time. It was the man who would be the first to claim her, to mate her. Slowly he worked his cock in and out of her pussy, gaining a few inches with every stroke. So slowly he moved inside her, coating his shaft in her spilling juices until he was buried to the balls in her wet heat. It was sheer pleasure and total pain as man and beast fought for control. Sebastian fought desperately to hold on to his wolf, to keep it inside him. But the wolf wanted to claim its mate as well and it was a desperate battle. With a shudder he regained the control he would need to take her slow and easy this first time.

A slow glide inside until his balls pressed firmly against the rounded cheeks of her ass and he held still for just a moment, enjoying the feel of her snug heat. He pulled out, groaning at the tight clasp of her pussy on his shaft and her body’s reluctant release of him. She was sheer perfection and this slow fucking was surely going to kill him.

I won’t last long, Sebastian cried out to his brother.

I pray to the goddess that you don’t. I’m not sure how much longer I can manage to hold back either. Dimitri’s groan of torture was just the push Sebastian needed to regain his focus.

Slow and easy, he worked his cock in and out. Her cunt dragged along his length with each thrust, unwilling to let him go, then just as reluctant to accept him back. He hooked her knees over his elbows and spread her wider, enjoying the view of his cock tunneling into her flesh. There was something so carnal about watching his cock, coated in her juices, working in and out of her pussy. It was the most beautiful sight that he had ever seen. His arms shook with the effort to hold back, to keep the beast at bay. And he succeeded for a moment.

“Yes. God, yes. Make the ache go away. Yes.” Dakota’s cries tore his control away and what was meant to be a slow and easy mating became something so much more. She wanted more and the wolf was ready and willing to ensure that she got it. With a shudder of release he uncaged the wolf and let it merge inside him so that the spirit of the beast could enjoy the first mating as well as the man.

His thrusts became rougher, his hips slamming into her as he rode faster, plunged deeper into her womb. The wolf howled its pleasure as his balls swelled with seed. His grunts joined her cries and just before his seed exploded from his body, Sebastian leaned down and bit once more where his mark already lay upon her flesh. She bucked beneath him, but his pumping hips kept her firmly in place. He could feel the rhythmic clutching of her pussy and knew that she had reached her pinnacle with him. The sharp contractions of her channel nursed and sucked at him, pulling him headfirst into the best orgasm of his life.

Not holding back any longer Sebastian rammed his cock as deep as it would go and filled her with his seed, marked her completely as his mate. He felt the wolf’s pleasure and happily joined with him, throwing his head back and giving voice to the howl inside. Dakota was his now, completely. The next thing was to ensure that she became his brother’s as well. Just as soon as he regained the strength to move or, better yet, to breathe.

Dakota heard the howl as if from a distance. It seemed to fill the air, almost as if she could feel the sound vibrating over her skin like a ripple of water. The cock buried in her channel continued to pulse hot jets of cum deep inside her. She knew that she should protest. She wasn’t on the Pill and he obviously hadn’t used a condom. But then nothing seemed to be as it should be here. She felt as if she were Alice who had fallen into the rabbit hole and came out in some alternate time and place. These two were definitely not the white rabbit though. And damn it, she would probably cry if she woke up like Alice and realized that this was all a dream.

The grass was lush and fragrant beneath her back and though she had just had the best and only sex of her life, she could already feel the need building within her again. They had said something about the bridal pool and that bathing in it was what had caused this. But surely that wasn’t possible. How could a pool of water cause her body to burn with such an erotic desire to have sex? No, to fuck and be fucked. That was a better description of how she felt. It was as if an animal was coming awake inside her and with it other desires and needs were awakening. The only explanation that made sense was that she must be dreaming. In what realm of possibility would there ever be two gorgeous men set on pleasuring and claiming her as their own. It was definitely a dream.

Sebastian rolled them so that she was on top of him. His spent shaft eased from her vagina, leaving her empty and hungry. She started to protest but rough hands clasped her hips from behind, urging her to her knees astride Sebastian’s big body. His hands soothed her shoulders, slipping between them to fondle and pinch her breasts and nipples.

She felt a hand push gently at the small of her back and then the thick shaft of Dimitri was there probing for entry. His cock ran along the puffed lips of her sex in short, quick thrusts and groans drifted from both her and him. The tip of his cock butted against the swell of her clitoris with each rub and the tension coiled tighter inside her. It wouldn’t take much to push her over the edge again into oblivion. Her body craved it, hungered with an intensity that was terrifying in its newness. How was it even possible to want this again when she was pretty sure that what she had just experienced with Sebastian had been mind-blowing? She might not have experienced it before but she’d read books, watched movies and overheard enough that she was almost certain she’d just engaged in earth-shattering sex. Yet here she was, anticipating the feel of Dimitri inside her, of him fucking her ‘til she screamed anew.

She arched her back further and with the next quick glide, Dimitri’s cock slid deep within her pussy, already stretched and wet with both her need and his brother’s seed. He held completely still, buried to the balls in her and it was the most amazing sensation. She could feel her sheath clasping and squeezing every inch of his delicious cock. Her pulse seemed to be centered there. It was sheer torture and yet one of the greatest pleasures she had ever known.

When she couldn’t take it anymore she pushed back against him, forcing him deeper still, and panted out, “Fuck me. Please fuck me.” She glanced back over her shoulder at him and locked her gaze with his, allowing him to see just how hungry for him she was.

He held still for just a moment longer but then it was as if her words, the look in her eyes, had shattered his control. He slammed in and out of her so hard and so fast that she could barely stay on her knees. She swung her gaze forward again. If it wasn’t for the hands of Sebastian who still lay beneath her and Dimitri’s firm grip on her hips she probably would have collapsed. But neither man would allow her anything less than the pleasure they were so eager and willing to give her.

Dimitri pushed on her lower back again while shifting so that her knees spread even wider. Then with the next inward thrust of his cock he seemed to hit a spot inside her that was the center of her pleasure. One more thrust against it and she was exploding around him, screaming her ecstasy at the top of her lungs. He continued his parry and retreat, not allowing her to come down, instead forcing her higher and higher ‘til the pleasure mixed with pain and she couldn’t see, smell, taste, hear or feel anything but him, them, and the raw animalistic mating that consumed them.

Dimitri leaned over her and he bit down on her flesh close to where his brother had bitten. His teeth sank into her skin and he sucked wickedly on her, holding her in place for his continuing thrusts. His cock jerked inside her and the hot splash of cum filled her womb and dripped from her channel. She felt the warm splash of liquid against her belly and knew without looking that Sebastian had come again as well.

She collapsed on top of Sebastian, unable to manage her body weight any longer. She was jelly, boneless and wobbly. Lethargy seemed to fill her as she continued to gasp for breath. She could still feel Dimitri against her back, his knees outside hers, his cock still snuggled inside her. He was licking over the tender spot that he had made on the base of her neck where it met her shoulder and she would swear that he was growling with pleasure.

She felt Sebastian’s lips along her temple and heard him whisper to her.

“Sleep now, Dakota Cordova. Your mates will watch over and protect you. For now and for always. Never shall you walk alone again.”

For now and for always, she repeated in her head. I like the sound of that.

As do we, my love. As do we.

She thought the words were spoken in her head but she was too tired to care. She let the peacefulness of sleep overtake her, pull her under and give her the rest she craved. She had been mentally exhausted for days after running circles in her head playing the “what-if” game. Now she had the blissful physical exhaustion that would allow her the respite of sleep. She knew that it had been an amazing dream and she didn’t want to leave it or these two amazing men behind. She wanted to stay in this mystical White Valley as the chosen and desired mate of the Cordova. She wanted it more than anything she’d ever desired before. She fought for only a moment against the darkness, unwilling to slip from the comfort of her lovers’ arms only to awaken to the reality she had left behind.

“Don’t leave me,” she mumbled, reaching blindly with her hands for the feel of their warm flesh. And she would swear that she heard two voices assure her that she would never be without them again.

Chapter Two

Dakota awoke with a start, sitting straight up in bed. It took her a moment to focus and realize that she had no idea where she was. The room was rustic, a cabin of sorts, which made sense since the last place she was had been somewhere in the forest. The bed she lay in was big enough for an entire family and took up most of the space. A fireplace lay across the room and she was startled to see a cheery fire already burning there. She could just make out a door that led to what she prayed was a bathroom and another one that might go to a kitchen or something. Her stomach rumbled with hunger but it was her bladder that was demanding the most immediate attention.

When she swung her legs out from under the covers she was no longer able to deny that she was indeed naked. As she didn’t remember taking her clothes off she didn’t want to think about how that happened. She grabbed a quilt up and wrapped it around herself before darting to the door she prayed was the right one. Relief flowed through her when she discovered she was right and after taking care of her more pressing need she turned to the mirror and gasped out loud. There were twin bite marks marring the flesh where her neck met her shoulder and her dream came back to her with vivid clarity. She reached up to touch the tender bite-marked flesh. Was it a dream?

There was a shifting inside her, as if something were coming awake and stretching beneath her skin. It was a weird sensation. Like she was sharing her body with someone or something else. But that made as much sense as everything else at the moment. It made her wonder just how old the bottles of water in her backpack had been, and if it was possible for water to go bad.

She remembered the pool of water and the two men who had been there when she exited wet and achy with need. Her thighs tightened and she felt the tenderness between them. She had tried to pass it off as only reminiscing from her dream but there was no denying the proof before her eyes. Someone had been with her, bitten her and somehow managed to get her to this cabin. So what was the dream and what was the reality? Where was she? And most importantly where was the person—or persons, if she went by her dream—who had brought her here?

Dimitri and Sebastian Cordova. The names ran through her mind along with her saying the words that she chose them. It hadn’t really happened, had it? She couldn’t really be mated to two men straight out of a sex dream. What did it mean to be mated anyway? Wasn’t that something that one watched on Animal Planet? She leaned down and turned the water on, splashing it over her face and neck before looking back into the mirror. The marks were still there. They hadn’t been a dream or a delusion after all.

“Oh, God. Where am I? What have I done?”

She gave a squeak of fright when the door pushed open behind her and one of the men she thought she’d dreamed stepped in behind her.

“We moved you to the mating lodge while you slept. We will spend the next week here getting to know one another better before we take you to meet the rest of the people of White Valley.” His hands wrapped around her waist, pulling her snugly back against his groin and the thick shaft there. It seemed only natural to relax against him, to absorb his warmth and revel in the comfort of his arms.

“I… Who are you?” she whispered though her head whispered the name Sebastian.

“Yes, I am Sebastian. It pleases me that already you can tell us apart.” His lips whispered over her hair, nuzzling against her. “It was not a dream, my mate. You are Dakota Cordova now, and White Valley will be your home. You will want for nothing. Dimitri and I will watch over and ensure that all of your needs are met. When the time comes for your first transformation, we will be with you, guiding you all the way.”

“Transformation?” she asked, afraid of what he might tell her. Nothing made sense at the moment. If it hadn’t been a dream…

“The transfer of body fluids has already begun the change inside you. Our saliva and semen have mixed with your body fluids.” She blushed at his blunt words but when he continued her blood ran cold. “We will stay here for the next week so that you will experience the change at least once before entering the Valley.”

“Change? Transformation? What are you talking about?” She felt like a parrot repeating every key word or phrase that he spoke to her.

“The wolf is already forming inside you, Dakota. If you listen you will hear its call echoing in your blood. Soon the need to give it freedom will take over and you will be helpless to stop it.” He must have seen the fear in her eyes reflected in the mirror. He turned her into his arms and used one hand to lift her chin so that he could look directly into her round blue orbs.

“It is natural to fear your first time, my mate. But Dimitri and I will be with you the entire time. That is why we have this cabin. So that the males can guard and aid their mate when she undergoes her first shift. Unfortunately our women do not gain their wolf until they are mated.”

“Why not?” She remembered the sensation earlier of something shifting beneath her skin.

“It has always been that way in the Valley. Our boys change for the first time at the onset of puberty, around twelve or thirteen. There is something in the hormones at that age that brings it on. But our women don’t make the same hormone that is needed to release the wolf. Not until they are mated and the exchange of fluids takes place does this occur for them.” He tugged her hand and led her back out to the main room and over to the big bed.

“And once the change occurs the first time?” She couldn’t believe that she was actually standing here beside a bed, wrapped in nothing but a quilt, speaking with a gorgeous man who she was fairly certain she had already had sex with—amazing sex with—about changing into a wolf. A wolf. As in a werewolf? She pinched herself and unfortunately felt it all too well. Nope, she wasn’t still dreaming. So either she was in the company of a delusional madman or this truly was reality. And heaven help her but she wasn’t sure which one she would prefer.

She opened her mouth to say something else when Sebastian got a look on his face and headed to another door that she hadn’t noticed before. He glanced over at her and smiled. “Dimitri is returning from his run.” He pulled the door open and a huge black wolf bounded into the room.

It came straight for her and she yelped with surprise and tried to backpedal away. It pushed its nose against the quilt where it lay across her thighs and she would swear it was sniffing her female parts. With a quick tug the quilt was pulled loose from her trembling fingers to pool around her feet. The wolf stepped closer and its long rough tongue came out to glide along the lips of her sex. She gasped with shock, startled further when it nuzzled against her folds, the tongue brushing lazily around her clit.

She stumbled back, her knees hitting the mattress, causing her to sprawl back on the bed with her legs dangling off the end. The wolf took advantage of her position and moved closer, burying his wet nose into her exposed folds and inhaling deeply.

She went to move and stopped when she heard the distinct rumble of a growl and felt the slight nip of teeth against her inner thigh. Sebastian stepped into her sight, now as naked as she was. His cock jutted up from his nest of black curls thick with his desire. The head was swollen and red and drops of his semen already beaded in the tiny slit.

“She does not seem to enjoy your games in that form, Dimitri,” he spoke to the wolf. “Perhaps you should wait until later for that?”

The wolf pulled away and looked up at her. She knew that her face was white, her eyes huge with fear and uncertainty. There was no hiding it. It was a wolf, a big, black wolf. And its head had been buried between her thighs. And Sebastian had called it Dimitri. Holy crap! That must mean that they were werewolves. But those didn’t really exist. Did they?

“Dimitri?” she questioned, terrified of what response the animal might make.

She thought that nothing could startle her more but then she had never counted on what happened next. The wolf began to change before her eyes, a little at first and then the fur began to melt away and skin took its place. Padded feet gave way to human hands and feet and the muzzle receded from the wolf’s face, slowly taking the familiar shape of one she had seen before. With one last shake of his hair the wolf disappeared and Dimitri stood naked between her thighs. She blinked once, twice, but he still remained. Her vision swam and black dots took shape before her. Her last thought was that she must be having a stroke. That was the only thing that made sense at this point. Werewolves didn’t exist.

“Way to go,” Sebastian spoke out loud, his disgust for his brother ripe in his voice. “She has passed out. Was there really a need to show her that so soon?”

“You didn’t tell her about us already?” Dimitri queried as he let his gaze roam over the lush body of his mate. “I assumed that you would tell her and thus prepare her for my arrival.”

“Of course I told her,” Sebastian scoffed. “But it is one thing to hear it and another to see it. You should have shown a little tact, my brother, and kept your muzzle out of her pussy.”

Dimitri sighed and shook his head. “It is too late to worry about it now. She will wake soon and we will spend the rest of this day talking and mating. She will become use to the idea.”

“You sound so sure,” Sebastian whispered. He had seen the fear and worry in her eyes. And now he knew worry of his own. What if she couldn’t accept them? Couldn’t accept the Valley?

“What choice does she have at this point?” Dimitri queried. “The change is already beginning inside her. I could feel the growing presence of her wolf with mine. It is too late to change anything now. She is part of us, a Cordova.” He reached down and wrapped the fingers of one hand around the base of his cock, giving it a few strokes up and down. Dakota lay before them on the bed, her legs spread wide enough that they could easily see the pink perfection of her pussy. Dark hunger filled his gaze and when he glanced at his brother he could see the same reflected in Sebastian’s eyes. “I need her already. She is like a fire in my blood. I feel for her.” His gaze softened as he glanced back down to where Dakota lay. “I feel things that I have felt for no other. A need to protect and comfort. I want to cuddle her close and never let her go. I want to bury my shaft so deep inside her pussy that we are as one.” His gaze sought his brother’s once more. “Tell me you do not feel it as well?”

“You already know that I do,” Sebastian assured him.

“Then what choice do any of us have?” Dimitri spoke again. “There is no going back, no undoing what we have already begun. She is our mate and only death can separate us now.”

* * * * *

Dakota came awake slowly. Her body was screaming with sexual desire and she was pretty sure that it must have something to do with the two men busy pleasuring her body with their hands and mouths. What a way to wake up. And she had dreamed the strangest thing anyway. She glanced down at her breast where Dimitri was busy sucking and shook her head at the thought of him transforming from wolf to man in front of her. It had to have been a dream. Right? But then if that were so he wouldn’t really be here right now, would he? Lord, nothing made sense at the moment. Well, one thing did. Pleasure. Raw, carnal, sexual pleasure. With two very talented men. She’d just focus on that for a bit.

“I see you finally decided to join us,” Dimitri murmured around her nipple. Sebastian was subjecting her feet and toes to some wicked tongue torture. She never knew that her feet could be an erogenous zone but they most definitely were.

“I see you started without me,” she replied and moaned when Dimitri sucked harder at her stiff nipple and Sebastian began to slowly work his lips and tongue up the inside of her legs. It was sheer torture and she never wanted it to stop.

“There is no starting without you,” Sebastian whispered against her flesh. “You are the most important one here.”

“Ummm…” she moaned as he lapped at her woman’s dew that coated the plumped folds of her sex. She was eager for more of them, ready to have sex with both of them for the rest of the night. A laugh tumbled from her throat. From virgin to vixen in one fell swoop. Who would have thought it?

“You are happy with us?” Dimitri questioned and she eagerly nodded, choosing not to read more into his query than what was happening at this moment.

“Yes,” she hissed and arched her back, pushing her nipple farther inside his mouth as Sebastian latched on to her swollen clit and filled her pulsing channel with two of his fingers. “God, yes,” she cried, giving over to the intense pleasure that was exploding throughout her body.

Dimitri moved from her breast and licked his way up her throat to her jaw. He continued to her open lips and possessed her with a kiss that both took and gave at the same time. He was all carnal heat and hunger, eating at her lips and mouth. Yet there was no denying the hint of something more that bewitched her and held her an eager captive beneath them. His tongue stroked along hers, leading her in a play that was as satisfying as the more carnal act she knew was coming soon.

Sebastian thrust his fingers in and out of her while continuing to manipulate her clit with his mouth. He would suck fiercely at it then stop and gently tease along it with his tongue before nipping it with his teeth. It was a vicious cycle that kept her on the verge of orgasm for longer than should be physically possible.

“Please,” she begged as Dimitri moved his mouth back down along her neck to the place where they had both bitten her earlier.

“Please, what?” Dimitri spoke softly against her skin, his breath sending fresh tremors through her core.

“Please,” was all she could manage. What could she say? Please make me come? Please take me? Fuck me now? She’d never experienced anything even remotely like this and the pleasure alone was enough to leave her nearly incoherent.

“Everything and more, love, everything and more,” Dimitri stated and bit deep into her flesh. His teeth broke the newly healed skin open again and she could feel her blood mixing with his saliva. Once again the euphoria broke over her and even as she exploded with her orgasm she could feel her body relaxing further into the bed. Dimitri licked over her skin and then he was gone and Sebastian was there.

He rolled them over on the bed so that she was draped across his chest, her legs outside his hips. Dimitri’s hands helped lift her just enough for Sebastian to line his cock up with her dripping pussy and then with one sure thrust she was filled. Sebastian felt so good buried inside her, like he was always meant to be there. They both moaned with pleasure but two sets of strong hands kept her from sliding her body up and down on the thick cock.

Instead she was positioned so that she lay flat against Sebastian once more. His face was buried in her neck and she could feel him licking over the marks she wore. She knew that he would bite her again soon but she didn’t care. She actually craved it, needed it like water. Nothing could be better than this.

Dimitri moved closer behind her. His knees slipped between hers and Sebastian’s legs, spreading her wider and lowering her pelvis on Sebastian’s erection. He was deeper now than he had ever been and with just that stimulation she was close to orgasm once more.

“Breath deeply, love, and relax,” Sebastian whispered and she felt his hands glide down her sides to her hips. Then he slipped them around until he was squeezing and separating her bottom cheeks. He kneaded them slowly, making her relax her muscles and that was when Dimitri let her know his intention.

She felt his finger first, coated with her own juices and some type of lubricant that she had neither seen nor heard him get. His finger slipped in to the first knuckle and she automatically started to tense around it.

“Relax, love. Let him prepare you for the final claiming.” It was Sebastian who spoke to her and it was his face she glanced up at with a questioning look.

“The final claiming?” she whimpered as Dimitri continued working his finger in until the entire digit was snugly inside her. Slowly he began working it in and out, coating her with whatever cream he had applied to his finger. The muscles there loosened up and relaxed and she wondered just what he had used on her. She felt him add a second finger but Sebastian claimed her attention again when he whispered to her.

“The final claiming occurs when both of your mates enter your body at the same time. It is a completion of the bond that can only occur when both of us take you as one and all of us achieve satisfaction together.”

“And when the bond is completed?” she moaned. “What happens then?”

“Once the bond is completed your transformation will be assured. Your wolf will begin to emerge and fight for the right to seek its form. We will help you, guide you through it.” It was Dimitri who informed her of this, his fingers stretching the untried tissues of her back portal. Stretching her for a possession that she both feared and craved.

“But what if I don’t want to be a wolf? What if I want to leave?”

Both men tensed around her and she shuddered at the fire in Sebastian’s eyes as he looked at her. But it was the guttural command in Dimitri’s voice that nearly sent her into orgasm. “What has begun between the three of us was destined and can no longer be undone. With the final claiming there is no going back. You are Cordova and your home is now with us in the White Valley.”

“But we haven’t joined in a final claiming yet.” She stated it calmly and knew that she was daring him to take her now, to enter her anus and thrust deep. Honesty compelled her to admit that no matter what, she didn’t want to leave these two men who seemed so concerned with her needs and her satisfaction. Sure, it was mostly lust at the moment but she was certain that it would soon lead to so much more between the three of them.

And Dimitri didn’t disappoint her with his response. Strong fingers were pulled from her body and he used his hands to grip her hips and hold her where he wanted her. She felt the nudge of his solid shaft against her anus and pushed back without thinking. Dimitri used her body’s motion to aid his entry and thrust home with one hard stroke. All three of them groaned with pleasure as they held still, Dakota filled with the thickened cocks of the men who would be her mates.

“We have joined.” Dimitri’s voice was filled with dark, carnal promise and she moaned as he licked over her neck. “There is no leaving us, Dakota. There is only the promise of every day beginning and ending like this.”

They moved inside her, their shafts rubbing along each other where the thin flesh separated one opening from the other. It was glorious torture, and pleasure built in ever-increasing waves throughout her body. One filled her as the other retreated, only to trade places with the next stroke. Her pussy clasped greedily at Sebastian while Dimitri pulled almost free of her snug anus. Then it was Dimitri pushing deep while Sebastian tugged almost completely out of her. Slowly they rode in and out of her body, torturing her with the sheer pleasure they gave.

She cried out and unknowingly clenched her channels around the cocks invading her. Both men cried out as well and the rhythm picked up until there was little delay between the time when one filled her and then the other. Soon they were both spearing in and out in tandem, two cocks surging into her as one. Harsh grunts and breathless moans filled the room as they all surrendered to the ecstasy they were feeling. No beginning and no end. Only three people who were slowly forming a bond as one.

Something burst inside Dakota and her body clenched and released, tightening deliciously around Sebastian and Dimitri. Their cries matched hers and she pulled them into orgasm with her. Hot jets of thick cum filled her pussy and ass as each man found his own release within her. Without thought or plan she stretched her neck out, leaning her head back against Dimitri and let loose with the sounds building in her throat.

No one was more surprised than she when a wolf’s howl filled the air. A howl coming from her.

Chapter Three

Dakota lay snugly between Dimitri and Sebastian in the bed. She must have fallen asleep soon after their last round of lovemaking and they had been content to cuddle and doze with her. She would love to awaken every day for the rest of her life just like this.

And so you will.

Dakota was startled into opening her eyes and found herself staring right into Sebastian’s bright green eyes. How in the world did he hear her? She hadn’t spoken out loud? Had she?

Sebastian’s laugh was joined by Dimitri’s. Dimitri wiggled closer against her backside and she almost groaned at the feel of his burgeoning erection. Surely he couldn’t be excited again? That wasn’t possible, was it?

You will learn that much is possible when you are mated to a wolf. It was definitely Dimitri’s assured confidence in her head.

Then Sebastian added, Two wolves.

How are you talking to me in my head?

It is the way of our kind, love, Sebastian informed her while nuzzling along her neck and shoulders with his lips and tongue. With the continued exchange of blood and saliva the bond will grow stronger. Eventually you will learn to read both mine and Dimitri’s thoughts as well.

Perish the thought. It entered her mind without her realizing it and her reward was a sharp nip from two sets of wicked teeth.

“Hey,” she yelled out loud and reached out to swat Sebastian with her hand. He caught it instead and pulled it to his lips.

There is nothing that we shall hold from you. Nothing that we will ever think that would be against you. You are our mate now, the woman of our hearts. Nothing will break the bond that we have forged. You are a part of us now. And we are a part of you. Three parts of a whole. Only complete when we are all together.

That sounds like more than lust. Her insecurity leaked into her thoughts and she knew from the growls that both men were now privy to what she had witnessed her ex-fiancé doing with another woman.

He was a fool and undeserving of you. It was Sebastian who assured her of that while Dimitri was much more harsh in his condemnation of her ex.

He is lucky that he never touched your body or I would have hunted him down and killed him with my bare hands.

Dakota laughed and it felt wonderful. Who would have thought that her sudden desire to have some one-on-one time with nature would lead her down this path? Here she was now the mate of two men, werewolves at that. And if what they said was true then soon she would be able to take the shape of a wolf as well.

We do not lie, Dimitri told her and nipped at her neck.

She moaned with pleasure, leaning back into the bite, eager for his teeth to grip and claim her. Would they mate as wolves as well?

Oh, yes. Sebastian growled softly against her breast before tugging her nipple between his teeth. The sensation traveled from her nipple to her womb and a ripple of pleasure traveled through her vagina. We will fuck often in our animal fur. It will be like nothing you have ever known.

Everything with you two is like nothing I have ever known. She moaned in pleasure as their lips explored her body, hands plucking and caressing her flesh.

Two masculine grunts filled the air and she giggled at the pure male satisfaction that they conveyed. She had never been so happy that she had not lost her virginity with what’s-his-name.

What’s-his-name? Sebastian queried.

Who? was all she could manage to think as they continued to play her body with their lips and hands.

Good answer, my love, Dimitri assured her and bit gently at the mark he had made. His teeth sank in and the very eroticism of the act had her shuddering in orgasm, her body writhing between his and Sebastian’s.

Sebastian pulled away and went to the bathroom. She heard the running of water and then he was back with a soapy cloth in his hand, which he held out to his brother. His cock glistened with the drops of water from his washing and she couldn’t fight the urge to roll onto her hands and knees and make her way to him. When she stopped his cock bobbed in front of her face, a temptation too seductive to resist.

She nuzzled against the wiry hair that surrounded his groin, wallowing in the rich musk that was his alone. She could feel his staff twitching and swelling bigger against her cheek and finally gave in to the need to lick her way from the base to the flared head. She greedily slurped him between her lips, felt them stretching wide to accommodate his width. They both groaned with intense pleasure.

Sebastian took control of her exploration, wrapping his fingers in her tousled curls and pumping his shaft deeper and deeper into her mouth. He eased his cock into the back of her throat and held it there for only a moment before sliding out. She choked a little but as he continued she heeded his voice in her head that encouraged her to breathe through her nose. Soon she could take all of him, swallowing the portion that forged into her throat. It was empowering even though by looks it seemed that he was controlling her. She knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that one word or sign of discomfort from her and he would stop.

Dimitri moved behind her and she knew what he was going to do before he did it. His entry was a slow glide of his hardened shaft into her empty channel. It was perfect and conveyed just how much she had come to mean to him as well. She enjoyed experiencing her mates in this way. There was something powerful about pleasuring with her mouth even as Dimitri pleasured her. She sucked eagerly on Sebastian’s cock while thrusting her hips back in a gentle rhythm with Dimitri’s strokes. This was what she had been searching for. These two men were the ones she had been destined to love. This was love in its most primal form, a mating of more than their bodies. It was the beginning of a future that appeared brighter than ever before. It was the beginning of life as Dakota Cordova, mate to Sebastian and Dimitri Cordova, newest member of the weres of White Valley.
