Fire filled his belly. He was not going to lose his mate! Lukas jumped, snarling, onto the Geisterwolf's back. He clamped down on the Ghost Alpha's spine, shaking his head side to side in an attempt to break the creature's neck. It howled in pain, and Will retreated. He jumped over the candles and landed in his human form beside Elena.
The Geisterwolf shook Lukas off, but the smaller Alpha dodged in front of it, not letting it closer to his mate and partner as Elena recited the words of the ceremony. Lukas may have been told all his life that he wasn't good enough to be Alpha, that he was from weak stock and his father's weakness had been passed onto him, but at that moment he didn't care.
He lunged again, this time getting a killing grip on the Geisterwolf's throat. The larger Wolf pawed at him, claws scraping over his face. One of them tore into the delicate skin of his eyelid. Blood blinded him, but he tightened his grip until his jaw felt like it was about to crack. He wasn't going to let go and let this thing hurt his mate!
The Geisterwolf began dragging him towards the circle. It was choking, blood staining its white fur, but it determinedly pulled him along inch by inch. Lukas could see from the corner of his eye what was happening. Elena drew the knife over her hand again and passed it to Will. Her eyes rolled in pain, teeth too large for her mouth, clothes starting to rip as her body transformed.
Will recited the words quickly, stumbling over them, as Lukas tried to find purchase on the ground and pull the Geisterwolf away. His efforts were in vain. As soon as its paw stepped into the circle, Elena threw her head back. A pained howl ripped through the air as her body Shifted, turning into the form of a Wolf.
"I love you and I do give myself willingly to you from this day forward," Will shouted.
He grabbed Elena's nearest paw. A bright flash of blinding light, then Elena was human again. She crumbled to the ground.
Lukas' heart stopped. Was she dead?
The Geisterwolf tore itself from his grasp and charged towards Elena, but Will was quicker. He used his body to knock the Ghost Wolf off course, tearing at it as he snarled. Lukas jumped onto the Geisterwolf's back, trying to find his previous purchase. The creature swiped at both of them. Chunks of fur went flying. Blood flew every which way. It showed no sign of weakening. How were they meant to stop it?
The cliff.
Lukas' eyes met with Will's, and he knew that the other Alpha had the same idea. Together they threw their weight on the creature, not only keeping it separate from Elena but now fighting to drive it towards the cliff as well. They worked in perfect unison, the technique honed over the month they had spent fighting this thing already. Lukas danced around it, nipping and biting, distracting it just enough for Will to get a good grip, to use his weight to push it backward.
When the Geisterwolf's back paw slipped off the edge of the cliff, Lukas could see in its eyes that it knew what was going to happen. It jumped forward, clamping its jaws onto Will's scruff even as the other Alpha threw his weight onto it one last time. The Geisterwolf fell backward, dragging Will with it.
Lukas jumped forward, latching onto Will's leg and yanked him back to safety. The Geisterwolf's grip loosened. The two Alphas tumbled back towards safety as the Ghost Wolf fell from the cliff, howling as it disappeared into the dark.
Behind them, Elena moaned. Lukas scrambled to his feet and rushed to her, Will close behind. They both Shifted and gathered her into their arms. Her eyes fluttered.
"You're both here," she whispered.
"Yes," Will said. He kissed her gently. "We're here."
A smile crossed her face, but she flinched. "I feel... strange. Something's different."
Lukas clutched her hand, worried eyes meeting Will's. Had they been too late after all?
Chapter Ten – Elena
She was getting used to running on all fours.
Elena dashed through the trees, Lukas on one side, Will on the other. Everything was more vivid when she was in this form. The smells, sounds, the feel of dirt beneath her paws. It took a lot to get used to, but with her two mates running on either side of her, she wouldn't trade it for anything. Lukas yipped happily at her, and she replied in the like, changing her trajectory slightly so that when she wagged her tail it brushed against his side.
When she first transformed, it had been terrifying for all of them. It had happened involuntarily; things were getting heated between the three of them, lying in bed swapping kisses, and suddenly she was a Wolf. All three of them had been afraid that it meant that the Geisterwolf's mate was bound to her and would eventually take over her body again.
It didn't take much for them to find out what really happened. Xavier had already been researching the side-effects of Elena's brief possession and assured them that the Geisterwolf's mate was gone. Something had changed in Elena's biology, though, in order to accommodate her during the brief moment when the ghost had inhabited her body. That change had stayed, and with a little practice, she found herself after to Shift at will into a rusty-brown Wolf.
And now she was able to run with her mates whenever she wanted to.
Will barked at her and Lukas before putting on a burst of speed. Elena fought the urge to roll her eyes as she and Lukas kept their steady pace. He was faster than both of them, and he liked to show it off. By the time Elena and Lukas got to their destination, a beautiful, open lake, he had already Shifted again. He floated on his back, buck naked. Lukas Shifted as well and jumped into the water, but Elena sat down on the shore to admire them for a bit.
They were both beautiful specimens. Strong bodies, built differently but neither really more attractive than the other one. And neither of them were making decisions about her without her anymore. They had even discussed the original agreement that they had had–that she would have Will's children first–and both had agreed with her when she said that they'd leave it up to fate. Elena was certain that it wasn't a big deal to either of them anymore, anyway.
Of course, in order to have children, certain things had to happen first. Elena felt a tight stirring in her loins as she considered it. It had been a conscious decision to abstain from sex for the time being. With everything that had happened, it was a roller-coaster and Elena wanted to be able to focus all her energy on her first time. She didn't want to be worried about turning into a Wolf.
But she could control it now.
She Shifted and plunged into the water with her two Alphas. The water was pleasantly cool, and her boys were quick to pull her into deeper water, to where she could barely touch but they were still well above the waterline. Lukas pulled her onto his hip and grinned down at her.
"Are you happy?"
Elena nodded. "I've never been happier."
And it was true. Bad things had happened, yes, but facing down the Geisterwolf had given her the courage to face her father as well. She finally put her foot down and stopped him from treating her as if she owed him everything. She didn't. It was his job as her father to take care of her as she grew up, and she had been giving him next to free labor since the time she was sixteen–and free labor from when she was twelve. If it wasn't for her, he never would have built his company in the first place.
So, with that in mind, she had insisted on becoming a partner in the business. She already did most of the administration anyway, but now she had the power to not only get paid for the work she was doing but also hire people to help her with it. She also had a fee from the company dedicated to paying off the mortgage on the piece of land that had been given to her father by Lukas's father.
All in all, life was good.
"Almost sundown," Elena said, letting her dark hair soak into the cool water. "It's going to get cold. We ought to do something to keep warm."
At just her words, both of her Alphas took on desirous looks. Elena could feel how Lukas took her meaning, and she laughed. It came out more nervous than she intended, but she didn't really care. She had been looking forward to this for such a long time. And now she was ready.
"Are you saying it's time to do the mating part of being mates?" Will asked, gripping her hips under the water.
Elena nodded. She reached for his hand, and when she found it, he guided her to another part of his body. Her eyes nearly bugged out of her hand. They got ready fast! Another nervous giggle. She hid her face in Lukas' shoulder, giggling like mad.
"I'm sorry. I don't know what's gotten into me."
"I know what's about to get into you," Will growled in her ear. He brushed up against her, making her moan. "So… have you ever had sex in a lake before?"
Lukas shifted her to his other hip and frowned at Will. "We discussed this."
"Excuse me?" Elena narrowed her eyes at them. "What have you decided behind my back again?"
"Only that we were going to set the proper mood. And bring lots of lubricants. So we could… you know. Both have you at the same time. So neither of us feels left out. If that's okay with you, of course. The biggest thing was that we didn't want to pressure you."
"Pressure me, please!"
Will didn't need any encouragement. He spun Lukas around so he could steal her from him. He parted her thighs and spread them over his hips. The water splashed around them as he ground himself against her. Not to be undone, Lukas quickly took up a spot behind her and crushed her between his body and Will's. He began kissing her neck, nibbling at her sensitive skin. Will dove into her other side, his huge hands spreading her ass as he supported her. Lukas slid a hand around her body and between her thighs.
"Oh!" Elena let her head fall back, gasping her breath as her body bucked between them. There wasn't any room for her to go anywhere, but her movement made both of them groan. Pleasure coursed through her, leaving her breathless.
It was more than enough for Lukas. Elena felt him pressing against her. Another gasp escaped her as he slowly made his way in. There as a bit of pain, but it felt so good that she didn't mind. Her grip tightened on Will, her fingers digging into his shoulders. His mouth caught hers as Lukas drove home. A shock of mingled pain and pleasure had her crying out. Lukas rested his head against her and sighed in ecstasy.
"This is as better than I ever imagined."
Elena felt her cheeks warm as she remembered Lukas telling her that he, too, was a virgin. This was a first for both of them… actually, all three of them. Will had never shared a woman like this before. His entrance was slower than Lukas' was, and it was a good thing, too… Elena grasped and scrambled at both of them, tears pricking her eyes. It hurt, but it felt so, so good that she didn't know how to deal with it. Both of the Alphas held her gently, waiting until she adjusted.
Will took the lead and began to move. Lukas followed, matching his rhythm in an alternating fashion. Elena felt like her heart was about to stop. It felt too good for her to breathe, and she was helpless to the waves of pleasure that washed over her.
She didn't last long. The ripples of pleasure grew to a head until she couldn't hold it in. She threw her head back and howled, every muscle in her body tensing. Lukas followed her, and Will came last of all. They sagged against each other, dipping low in the water. Elena's eyes grew droopy. The tension in her muscles eased away.
"Amazing," Lukas whispered. "Can anything be better than that?"
"There is," Will said. "With practice and as we get to know each other better. But for now… I have to say I have never been happier."
"Me, either," Elena said. She grinned. "And it is only going to get better from here."

THE END
Her Two Bears
Description
A BBW in danger PLUS two hot werebears ready to share a mate PLUS a deadly opponent with dark intentions!
Danita Valdez is about to live her dream. She’s inherited a small farm from her uncle, and wants to make it her little paradise. But then loan shark McGrath turns up and transfers her uncle's debt to her. If she doesn’t pay, he’ll auction off her virginity to the highest bidder.
And as if things can't get worse, two of McGrath's thugs show up to “protect” her.
Bear shifters Killian and Ryan are supposed to keep an eye on Danita for McGrath. But they know what they want as soon as they see her. This woman with her soft curves is their mate. They’ll protect her with their own lives if they have to. But will she ever trust them?
Forced to live in the same house as the two Bears, Danita soon has only one thing on her mind. She can’t help it. These gorgeous men, all strength and muscle, would have any virgin dropping their panties.
But as the tension builds and their feelings deepen, McGrath's true desires come to light, and the Bears realize there is only one way to save Danita. And that path just might end up getting them all killed.
Chapter One – Danita
Danita Valdez beamed as she pushed on the door to her brand-new barn. At least, it was new to her; the door fell off as it swung open, the rusty hinges pulling clear of the frame. She jumped slightly but shrugged as she stepped through, glancing back at her former foster sister Amelia with a sheepish smile.
"I'll fix that up. New hinges and screws, no big deal. Might need to rebuild the frame, but that's easy enough to do. The place needs a little work, but all I'm missing is funds. Once I have my mortgage, I'll roll up my sleeves and with a little elbow grease, everything will be perfect."
"If you say so," Amelia replied, shaking her head as she inched through the barn door. "If you need some help, I'm sure my two Alphas will be able to find some Wolves in the pack to give you a hand. We could also give you a loan if the mortgage doesn't cover all your expenses."
Danita shook her head. "This is my place, and I'm going to get it up and running myself. When have you ever known me to shy away from hard work? Besides, the loan offer is sweet but I'll do just fine. There are only a few major repairs that need to be done before I can get my herd."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course I am. So I'm going to fix up the barn to store my equipment and hay, and outside I'm going to have the alpaca pasture right beside it. Three acres. I've already got Maria, but I'll need more to be successful. And I heard from some of the other farmers around here that there can be trouble with bears and cougars at night, which is to be expected with this great forest around, but I'll make sure my animals are trained to come in at night."
"Didn't you say alpacas could be aggressive towards predators?"
"Canids, mostly. Better safe than sorry. I'll start off with a small herd, but put males and females together and you know that they do!" Danita gave Amelia a saucy smile and winked at her.
Amelia smirked. "It's even better then you've got two males dedicated to pleasing you. Speaking of which…"
"No, I don't have any boyfriends. And I'm not looking for any, either. I have plenty to keep me occupied. Over there," Danita gestured towards the tree line, eager to get off the topic, "I am going to build a second barn. That's where I'll set up everything I need to clean, card and spin the wool."
Amelia smirked. "You really have your work cut out for you. A good, brawny male around—"
"I've already got half a dozen places lined up to take a look at my stuff once I’m producing." Danita folded her arms. "And—"
Amelia grabbed Danita's arm and let out a short scream. Her eyes were wide as saucers. Danita spun on her heel in time to see two huge bears emerge from the trees. Each one was about twice as tall as any regular grizzly, with paws the size of hubcaps and heads as big as a small car. One was gray, the other honey-brown.
"Oh, those two again."
Danita scowled to cover up how her heart skipped a beat on seeing them. The two strolled along the trees, grunting to each other, occasionally bumping shoulders and making chuffing noises that sounded like laughter. Which it probably was.
If Amelia hadn’t been here, Danita would be internally begging them to shift into their human forms. Maybe even indulge in her fantasy of them strolling up to the farmhouse and tossing her into a pile of hay while they took turns with her. She may be a virgin, but a prude she was not.
"Those two again?" Amelia rose a brow at her.
"They're just a couple of Bear shifters that live around here or something. They've been hanging around since I moved in. At least they're in their Bear forms this time. Sometimes they walk around naked." Danita felt heat rising in her cheeks. "Not that they aren't nice to look at, of course, but I want this to be a family-friendly farm, you know."
Amelia smirked at her. "You should see why they're hanging around. Because if they just started once you moved in, it could be that they're looking for a romp in the hay–literally!"
"Just because you got lucky and landed yourself two Wolves who are more than happy to share you doesn't mean the rest of us will be so lucky."
Danita sighed with disappointment as the Bears disappeared again. Even if she hadn't had fantasies about a threesome before, Amelia's stories about how mind-blowing sex with two men at once was would have her reconsidering her attitude.
"You might be luckier than you realize. There aren't any Bear shifter communities out here. Those two might be lonely."
Danita smiled at her foster-sister. "Maybe, but I don't have time for one boyfriend right now, let alone two."
"Just make sure you have time to come to my wedding," Amelia replied. "I'd ask you to be a bridesmaid, but Timothy, Xavier and I all decided we want something more intimate. So the wedding party is just the three of us, and only family is being invited to attend."
"Of course I'll come." Danita smiled at her foster-sister. "I can see how happy they make you. I don't think I've ever seen you beam like you do when you talk about them. I wouldn't miss your wedding for anything."
