“I want to see you fuck Landon.” He swallowed again, his throat so dry it felt like he’d drank sand. Both men stared at him before wicked smiles covered their features.

“Come closer, baby.”

Alex obeyed Merrick’s deep and dark words, climbing onto the bed so he got a clear shot of Landon’s ass. Merrick’s large hands had Landon’s cheeks spread open, the crack and hole glistening from lube. Merrick’s condom-sheathed shaft was pressing temptingly against the hole, his hands clenching and unclenching on Landon’s creamy flesh. Alex glanced between the two men. Landon’s eyes were closed and his jaw was tense. Merrick’s focus was completely on Alex. Alex looked back down at where Landon and Merrick’s bodies met. Ever so slowly, Merrick started to push into Landon’s anus, the ring of muscles stretching and widening as his fat cock head slipped inside.

Their groans and grunts started off slow, but with every inch Merrick shoved into Landon, the noise increased. Once Merrick was fully seated inside Landon, the only thing that could be seen was the root of his cock. He started to pump in and out, in and out. His pace picked up, his hips slamming into Landon’s ass faster and harder. It took all of Alex’s willpower not to come from the sight alone.

A hand grabbed his thigh, pulling him to the side and then a hot mouth was sucking on his cock. His mind went blank, his hormones out of control at what he was watching and feeling. He glanced down and saw Landon’s lips wrapped around his cock, his cheeks hollowed out. The sound of wet skin and sucking caused Alex’s balls to draw up tight with his impending orgasm.

The pleasure was so intense it had him gasping for air. He stared at Merrick’s thrusting hips as his orgasm washed through him. Alex roared out his release, his come shooting out of him and going down Landon’s throat. Landon sucked hard, drawing out every last drop of his semen until he was panting and pulling away. He collapsed on the bed and a second later, both men groaned their own releases.

They spent the rest of the morning in bed, the only sound any of them making that of deep groans and grunts of pleasure. Alex had to admit, it certainly was a wonderful way to spend the day.

Alex stood at the cliff’s
edge,
the wind whipping by him with such force it rocked his body. He stared over the rocky ledge, the lake below seeming calm and serene. Every
Luecross
from the camp stood behind him, the anticipation and excitement thick in the open air. They had all come to watch, had all come to support him while he did one of the biggest things in his life.

Let his inner animal free for the first time.

He turned around, his hair whipping across his face as he stared at each and every
Luecross
member. Helan and Edward stood beside Merrick and Landon. All four of their faces showed happiness and acceptance. He was scared and nervous, but excitement was the strongest emotion he was feeling. After spending even the short amount of time with Landon, Merrick, and the other members of the pack, Alex had grown to realise that there was so much more to life, to
his
life, than he had ever imagined.

He followed everyone as they made their way into a clearing. Flowers bloomed all around them. Purple, pinks and yellows painting the ground like an artist’s masterpiece. The trees formed a perfect circle around them and the sun shone high above them. The day was sublime.

He stood in the centre, everyone forming a loose circle around him. He knew what the plan was, knew exactly how the next few moments would play out. The air suddenly charged with electricity, everything around him coming alive and powerful. It was like nothing he had ever felt before. The bodies around him started to waver. Their forms became hazy, like tiny little shocks of lightening travelling through each of them and spearing into
his own
body. He felt his inner animal start to rise, slowly growing with the need to be free. Human forms started to disappear, the bodies being replaced with large wolves. He smelt the wilderness, the musky scent of the wolves’ fur all around him. He heard the sound of the wind whistling through the tress and of the low whine of the animals surrounding him. He saw everything with such clarity, it was astounding, breathtaking.

For the first time in his life, he went with his instinct and let the beast inside of him out. He was aware of bones breaking, skin tearing. There was no pain, only a sense of abandon that washed through him. He held his arms out and closed his eyes, letting the change fully take over. The wolf in him howled with triumph, growled and snapped with eagerness.

Alex fell on four legs, his body no longer human, but something much more primal and powerful. He shook, his thick, dark coat moving against his skin. His ears twitched and his eyes adjusted as he looked at each wolf in front of him. They slowly walked towards him, smelling him, nuzzling him, howling to the heavens. He was aware of Landon and Merrick flanking him, their massive heads nudging him to move, to run.

They smelt so good, so masculine and wild. It was exhilarating. He may not have been a human, but he could still think rationally and remember who and what these men were to him. The three of them took
off,
the rest of the pack going in the other direction as if they knew Alex wanted to be alone with Landon and Merrick. They let Alex take the lead, weaving in and out of trees, the thick limbs and trunks no more than blurs as he rushed by him.

Alex ran for hours, soaking in everything around him, feeling the power and strength beneath his coat, under his muscles, and down to his bones. He scented the air, could smell the fresh, crisp water of the lake only feet away. He broke through the tree line, the crystalline water sparking like tiny little diamonds scattered across a table of glass. He stopped, his stomach hollowing in and out, his breathing fast but steady. He turned around and stared at Merrick and Landon, both
so
patient as they waited for him to make the next move.

What was in his body, the animal always right below his
skin,
was not something to fear, but something to revel in. It was the first time in his life he felt like himself. The first time he felt like he wasn’t hiding anything. The first time he was without the fear that he would hurt someone. He looked around, mindful to confirm that no humans were nearby to inadvertently witness what would happen next. He closed his eyes and willed himself to change, feeling his body shift and elongate as fur became skin, paws became hands and feet. He stood before the two men who had helped open his eyes to what he truly was—what it truly meant to be a wolf.

Their forms shimmered and wavered, their bodies growing large and long.

Wolves turning into men.

It was fascinating to watch and Alex didn’t know if he would ever get used to it. They stepped forward, their naked forms aroused and straining towards him. They both stood in front of him, not touching or speaking. He took a deep breath, everything so clear, so precise.

“I don’t know if I’ll ever get used to this, but I know that I want to try.” He studied them, watching for any emotion that might flicker through their expressions. They stood tall, neither speaking, but the acceptance they emitted was strong. “I know that I want to experience this new life with both of you.”

It was then that he saw them visibly relax. Their breath left them, as if they had been holding it in. They smiled at him, both men leaning in and kissing him softly on the lips.

“We will stand by you no matter what. You are our mate, the man we have been waiting for our entire lives.” Landon spoke softly.

“We have all the time in the world,” Merrick said as he caressed Alex’s bare arm.

“What if I can’t ever be comfortable with,” Alex waved his arm, gesturing towards the wilderness around him then towards himself, “all of this?” Alex held his breath, speaking the truth and hoping they could understand. He did want to be with them, to learn from them and experience all that being a
Luecross
entailed. He wouldn’t lie to himself or them, though, because although he would try to accept this, he didn’t know if he ever fully would.

Merrick and Landon looked at each other before turning their attention back to him. “You’re our mate. Whether you accept us or not, we accept you and will be there no matter what.” Merrick spoke, his voice a deep rumble that seemed to vibrate into Alex’s core. They each took one of his hands, giving him their strength.

Nothing more was said as the three of them made their way back into the woods. They shifted forms before the trees engulfed them, blurs of fur racing across the leaf-laden ground and towards a future that promised not only pleasure and acceptance, but love as well.
