The Alphas

Written By: Spudz

<What will it be?> Lynua demanded, slowly circling around him like a predator stalking her prey. <Decide quickly. Will you become part of the pack?>

The other wolves looked on in silence, sitting on their haunches in a broad semicircle. They watched stoically as the alpha female stared Koov down.

Join the pack? Could he go through with it? This was a life-changing decision, one that he only had moments to consider.

Lynua was watching his expression closely. Her mindspeak took on a softer air. <I do not claim to fully understand anthro society, and what it means for you to leave it behind.> She brought up a paw to point at him, an odd motion to see a quadruped perform. <Know that if you accept, you can never go back. If you refuse, we will be forced to purge your memories.>

The malinois drew a long breath. He really had nothing left to go back to. "I will accept."

<Then it is decided.> She sat on her haunches as the alpha male joined his mate at her side.

<If you are to become part of this pack, then you must accept the bond,> Tolum mindspoke. He exchanged looks with Lynua, before turning back to Koov. <You were Araki's mentor, so it is only fitting you hold a higher rank than your anthro companion. Yes, a theta seems appropriate.>

"A... theta?" Koov stammered.

<The second lowest rank of the pack,> the alpha male clarified. <You may be Araki's superior, but that now means nothing. Do you understand your place?>

Koov felt his ears splay. The collective scrutiny of the alphas was all too intimidating. What could he say? "Yes. I do."

<Good. We should not delay.>

Lynua stepped forward. <Doko, if you please. Take us back to the den.>

The omega in question removed himself from Araki's side, his posture bowed. Without a word, he took his place at the center of the pack.

Koov only had a moment to make sure his bow, quiver and wakizashi were still on his person. He knew what was coming, but it didn't make the sensation any less unpleasant.

Doko's teleportation weave reached out to encompass the wolf pack and two anthros in its fold. The malinois braced himself just as the pattern snapped into place.

His perception shattered into countless pieces, scattering out across the mana threads. The world skewed in a gut-wrenching instant and then threw itself back together awkwardly.

The snowy mountainside was gone. Instead, Koov found himself standing in the middle of... lush green grass?

The air was pleasantly warm, permeating his short fur. The surrounding trees sported their full foliage, the undergrowth thick and in vibrant flowery bloom.

Koov looked around in awe, his muzzle agape. A prominent rock formation dominated the clearing he found himself in, towering up to the treetops. Across its various outcrops a stream of water flowed elegantly down from the peak to give the whole scene an artistic beauty.

The wolves were all around him. In silence they mounted the rocky formation, a pair moving to occupy each of the outcrops. Araki patted him consolingly as she passed, giving him a sympathetic look. She joined Doko at the base of the rock edifice. Only Tolum and Lynua remained back flanking him on either side. This didn't bode well.

With the entirety of the pack staring down upon Koov's meager presence, Tolum padded to stand in front of the malinois. His gaze was pointed. <To accept the bond, you first must open your mind to me. I have never done such a thing with an anthro, but Doko has. I will draw on his experience to perform the link.> He motioned with a paw to the grass between then. <Kneel down.>

Koov did as he was told, keeping submissively quiet.

The grey wolf's golden eyes took on an ominous glow. <Open your mind.>

He felt Tolum reach out through the mana threads, weaving a link between them. Koov was not keen on the idea, but he had no choice. To refuse now was to invite bad things upon himself.

He brought his defenses down, steeling himself.

Tolum reached out, seizing his mind. Yet the alpha male held back. The wolf shot a quick glance over toward his mate. <You might want to remove his... weapons, before I do this.>

<I'll never understand why you anthros use these,> Lynua proclaimed as she reached out to weave a pattern. <Now let's see. Ah, yes, just that simple.> Koov's longbow and quiver detached from the hardpoints on the back of his leather armor to float away. His sheathed wakizashi followed suit, coming off his hip to hover above the black wolf as she held the weapons in her weave. <We won't be needing these.>

Koov's gaze was torn off the alpha female. He was compelled to look back at Tolum, to lock eyes with the alpha male as he held their minds together. The malinois was not prepared...

He didn't know what happened. Suddenly, he was lying on his back, staring up toward the blue sky above. His view was bordered on all sides by the towering trees around the clearing. Araki was there, kneeling beside him. The husky was saying something...

"Koov, stay still," she spoke. "Wait a moment."

He tried to sit up, but was held down by her hand on his chest. "Wha... what happened?"

"Do you have a headache? Are you feeling ok?"

He blinked. "No. No I'm, I think I'm ok." He didn't feel any different than before. It was like a few seconds of his memory had been blanked. "What did he do to me?"

"Tolum imparted his memories to you," Araki replied simply, as if what had just happened was an everyday thing. "Their language and mannerisms. Everything. He just gave you the lupine culture."

"Gave?" Koov brought a hand to his head. "He gave me their culture?" It was hard to understand.

Araki was looking at him curiously. "Do you feel it? Sense something new that wasn't there before?"

He did. It was there, faint and vague but definitely there. When he tried to concentrate, it slipped away.

<Young Araki says that the knowledge will be slow to assimilate,> Tolum mindspoke. He nuzzled into the husky's flank as a show of appreciation. <You should be thankful she went through this first. I was able to use the lessons learned from her experience to ease the process.>

It took Koov a second to realize that the wolf's mindspeak in his head was not in his own language. This was different, more archaic. But it was familiar as if he had known it all his life.

The shock must've been apparent in his expression, as Araki gave him a knowing grin. "Isn't it something?"

He couldn't believe it. What Tolum had just done was remarkable. The alpha had very literally crammed a lifetime's worth of knowledge into his head, a feat that was extraordinary. If he had made just one little mistake when mucking about in Koov's mind... he shuddered at the thought.

"That was it?" the malinois finally managed. "The forging of the bond?"

Araki winced at his words. "No, he only gave you his memories. It requires, uh, something else for the bond to be made."

It clicked then. Last night back on the mountain slope, she had told him how one joined a wolf pack. His muzzle fell open. "No..."

A sharp look from Lynua made the husky cower away, leaving Koov woefully alone with the alphas. This wasn't about to happen...

<Now that we have that out of the way,>_Lynua mindspoke, sauntering her way up to him with a devilish look in her predatory eyes. _<Let's start by getting rid of that armor. > Before Koov could blink, invisible hands reached out through the mana threads and seized him. <Let's see here. Yes, easy as can be.>

All of the black leather armor fell away from Koov's body, making him flinch where he sat awkwardly on his rump in the grass. She had disarmed the complex spellweaves embedded within the protective pieces like they were nothing.

<Oh, yes, you also wear... clothing was it? Well I'll just take care of that as well.>

His shirt, pants, and underclothing literally shredded apart around him, dissolving away. Koov suddenly found himself in nothing but his short tan fur. He yelped, his hands instinctively moving to cover his groin.

This amused Lynua. <What's this now? Are you afraid to show me? Come now, Koov.> An unseen hold seized the hapless malinois, binding his limbs in the pattern that she wove. <You should be proud of your body. Let's see what you anthros have to offer.> Her muzzle split, showcasing fangs in a devilish grin. <I will show you how to behave like a wolf.>

Koov struggled against the invisible bindings to no avail. In desperation, he reached out for the mana threads around him.

Lynua's will came down ruthlessly upon him, cutting off his perception to the patterns like a guillotine. He couldn't reach out, couldn't weave; he couldn't do anything.

He was panting now, feeling a sense of panic overtake him. This was not happening!

<So you're a fighter, huh? I will savor this. You will learn your proper place, theta.> Her spellweave pulled at his limbs, lifting the dog up into a kneeling position.

"Please... don't do this," Koov pleaded. He felt so helpless.

The alpha female's grin only grew wider. <Do not be so afraid. I promise you will thoroughly enjoy yourself.> She padded up to him and leaned down to admire his maleness, giving the tan fur of his sheath a curious sniff. <Such strange short fur.>

Koov's breath caught at the tickly sensation of a broad canine tongue washing across his sheath.

Lynua gave the furry covering another taste, her eyes alight with mischief. <Your scent is strong, different. Potent.>

The mana threads that bound him shifted again, forcing Koov back to his startled yelp. He was being manipulated like a marionette, and there was nothing he could do. He couldn't even call on his own internal reserves to weave a spell. She had him completely under her control.

He ended up lying back on the grass, his legs spread open. Her woven pattern propped his head up slightly so he could watch everything that was about to happen.

The alpha female came to lie between his spread thighs, her legs splaying out to her side. She rested her head right next to his ample sheath and fixed him with a wicked look. <Show me that wonderful maleness of yours. I want to taste it.>

Her tongue snaked out again to caress along his covered length, matting the soft fur down. She watched him out of the corner of her eye, a glimmer in her hungry gaze. He could only look on helplessly as the wolf moved to the soft fur of his balls.

An involuntary groan escaped Koov's muzzle. Her touch was deliberate, but gentle. She rolled his supple orbs across her tongue, making his heart skip. He gritted his teeth at the feel of his loins stirring.

Lynua's attention shifted to the tip of his sheath, where a bit of pink poked forth. A soft growl churned in her throat. <What have we here?>

The black wolf gave a teasing lick against his exposed tip, pulling his sheath down with her paws to coax more of his length free.

Koov's moan perked her ears as his maleness slowly slipped free, only to be enveloped by the lupine's maw. He found himself suddenly subjected to an oral assault that sent jolts of pleasure straight up his spine.

Her eyes were no longer looking at him; the alpha focused on the prize at hand. She went down on him like the hungry predator she was, taking almost his entire size into her parted muzzle. Her tongue wrapped around his cock, hot heated breath wafting across his sensitive flesh.

His hips tensed with her every motion, her every deliberate lick along his cherry malehood. He could feel his knot starting to swell. His instincts were driving him crazy, trying in vain to thrust wildly into the wolf's muzzle. But her spellweave held him fast. He was at her mercy.

Lynua suddenly stopped, letting Koov's cock spill from her maw to throb in the air. Her predacious grin was met by his anguished look. <Most impressive. You are a gifted male indeed. I will certainly enjoy this.>

She punctuated her remark with a seductive caress of her wondrous tongue along the underside of his swelling knot, making him grunt as he strained against her bindings. This seemed to please her, as she continued the motion. Again, and again. It was maddening!

Koov was overtaken with a wild lust he had never experienced before. She was toying with him, enjoying his torture. He didn't know what had gotten into himself, didn't care. He was giving in to his primal urges. All he wanted was to get off right then and there...

<The power of the bond, is it not awe-inspiring how it overtakes you?> Tolum asked rhetorically, stepping into Koov's view. The alpha male gave his mate a look. <You certainly have a way of bending males to your will.>

Lynua gently fondled Koov's tortured balls with a paw. <He's so pent up. It's just too easy.>

<Would you be so kind, Lynua?>

The alpha female's amusement was clear in her mindspeak. <Never let me have all the fun.>

Koov felt the unseen bindings around his arms and head loosen, allowing him to fall back onto the grass. She kept his lower body firmly under her control... in more ways than one.

Tolum didn't say anything more. The grey wolf simply strolled up to Koov and straddled his chest and head, presenting the malinois an unobstructed view between his hind legs. The move caught the dog by surprise.

He couldn't help but look with the wolf looming over him. The alpha's sizable sheath dangled just before his muzzle, covered in soft thick fur. The wolf's furry balls were equally impressive, filled with his potent seed that every member of the pack craved. The tapered tip of his cock was already visible to show just how aroused he was.

Koov felt himself spurred on by some unseen force, urging him to reach out. Yet he resisted.

Tolum's impatience was clear. <Why do you hesitate? Go on, assume your role, theta. This is the only way you will become part of the pack.>

The malinois's hands moved, seemingly with a will of their own. A distant part of himself couldn't believe what he was about to do. But there was no stopping it.

He stroked along the alpha's engorged sheath, feeling his own heart race. A slight tug was enough to pull more of the wolf's crimson length free, allowing him to wrap his fingers around the slick, inviting flesh.

Tolum's heady groan came with a twinge of surprise. <Oh... what a wonderful feeling. Do that again.>

Koov wavered, knowing this was wrong. The alpha's arousal saturated his nose; strong, heady, and dominating.

No. It... it did feel... right? Debasing himself like this. He was overcome by it all, powerless to do anything but give in.

His hand continued to pull and tug along the lupine's maleness to Tolum's heightening growls of approval. Or was that his own growls of excitement? He didn't care.

The wolf squatted, spreading his hind legs to bring his throbbing cock right down to Koov's nose. He didn't even flinch, opening his maw to taste the wild potency of the alpha. He took the wolf into his muzzle without pause.

Tolum's knot swelled, popping free of his sheath. Koov was presented with the alpha's full intimidating size. He wrapped a hand around the sensitive base, knowing just where to thrust his fingers. His muzzle worked to take as much of the wolf's length as he could.

His other hand reached out to cup Tolum's heavy orbs, gently fondling; a rush overtook the dog as he worked.

Tolum was humping now, his hips thrusting purposely against the malinois's massaging digits. The alpha's mindspeak dripped with pleasure. <Gods' wrath!> His self-control was lost.

Koov could feel the wolf begin to tense, his balls drawing tight. His muzzle worked over the smooth rosy flesh, tongue curling and pulling across every bit of cock he could reach. Tolum was tantalizingly close. He had to taste the alpha; his instincts were in full control.

<That's enough for now.> Lynua's spell reached up to wrap itself around her mate's thrusting haunches, forcing him to pause. <Don't want to get ahead of ourselves.>

Tolum drew a labored breath. <Yes. Of course.> He removed himself from above the prone malinois, pulling his pulsing member from Koov's muzzle. The wolf's ample cock bobbed angrily between his hind legs, just begging to be finished off. He was panting, clearly poised on the ragged edge. <That was unexpected. Anthros are full of surprises.>

Koov could taste a bit of pre. He was beside himself, out of breath. What had he just done?

He sat up only to have the alpha female's spellweave seize his arms and chest once more, holding him motionless in that upright position. She was still lying between his legs, gently massaging his stiff erection with her paws. <I didn't say you could go anywhere, theta,> she scolded.

"Wha... what's happening to me?" Koov panted. He caught Araki's eye. She was watching him intently, her tongue lolled just like the rest of the pack. She wasn't going to help him.

Lynua deliberately blew her hot breath over his tapered length, making him tense. <We had never expected the effects on anthros would be so pronounced.> She was keeping him painfully hard, teasing with his cock just enough to torture him so. <I sense a clashing of emotions, a war of the wild verse the civilized.> She pressed her cold nose against his tip, a cruel thing to do. <Araki was the same. There's something about accepting the lupine culture that awakens your inner wild. It's intriguing. Exciting.> The wolf punctuated her last remark with a playful click of her teeth.

Koov watched anxiously as she got up; her muzzle ended up almost level with his own. He felt his ears fold as she sized him up, her tongue curling across her lip in the most wicked of ways.

<I'm done waiting,> Lynua declared. As her spell continued to hold him in a sitting position, the black wolf turned about presenting her haunches to him. A flutter stirred in his chest as she raised her bushy tail, giving the malinois a nice view of her sodden sex and tight tailhole.

There was no stopping what she was about to do. Did he want to even try? His heart was racing as he drank in the sight of her puckered vulva. This was supposed to be wrong. He kept trying to tell himself that.

She spread her hind legs, lowering herself slowly down. Slick hot heat enveloped his tapered tip as she rubbed her dripping sex against his cock. Her mindspeak radiated with anticipation. <Oh... yes.>

The alpha female looked back over her shoulder, and shifted her hips ever so slightly. The tip of his crimson maleness settled in the crook of her heated lips, parting her only just as she froze.

Koov's breath caught, and then a moan escaped his muzzle as she sunk down onto his length. Wet inviting warmth swiftly wrapped itself around his cock, drawing him deeper into the alpha.

Her ears splayed, her head dipping back as she growled with carnal satisfaction. After an eternal moment she settled perfectly in his lap, dark black fur meeting his short tan.

His whole length was enveloped in her tight sopping sex. She was so wonderfully hot, unlike any woman he had ever taken. Her arousal saturated his senses, mixing with his own excitement. All his misgivings melted away.

Lynua shot him a devilish look, before slowly lifting herself up. Koov bared his teeth; her inner folds squeezed around his length, reluctantly giving him up as he slid free.

The moment of emptiness was fleeting as she fell back down, coming to sit on his lap once more.

This time he growled, reveling in the pulse of pleasure that consumed him. His cock spread her forcefully, slick heat yielding around him. His restrained hips twitched, trying to pound into the wolf bitch. She was taking her time, drawing it out and driving him mad with the need to give in to his wild desires.

She punctuated her every downward thrust with a sharp breath. Her gaze was unfocused now as she looked back through half-lidded eyes, caught up in the bodily pleasure.<Such a wonderful male.>

Koov was spellbound; he watched with tongue hanging as her tight cunt took him repeatedly, his inflating knot lewdly popping in and out of her. He could sense the tie approaching, feel the resistance growing.

Lynua stopped. With difficulty she pulled herself off him, letting the malinois slip from her heated sex. She was panting heavily and unsteady on her paws. <I want... I want to finish this right.>

She kept her tail flagged to the side, never letting Koov lose sight of his reward, and spread her hind legs further apart. The malinois was lifted up by her spellweave onto his knees. To his surprise she dispelled the weave, giving him back his mobility.

Her seductive look over the shoulder sent a chill down his spine. <Come take your alpha.>

Koov couldn't have stopped himself if he had tried. He scooted forward toward the waiting wolf. The rest of the watching pack and Araki were all but forgotten.

A rumbling growl started in her throat, a reminder of who was really in charge. It didn't deter him as he brought a hand up to grasp her haunches, enjoying how soft her black fur felt beneath his roving fingers. His other hand took hold of his aching erection and angled it up to take his alpha once more.

Her wet lips parted readily as he pushed back into the wolf. He uttered a heady sigh. His hands moved to take both her hips, pulling her down slightly.

He hilted himself against her rear with purpose, fully mounting the alpha. There was no feeling like it, finally having the control. He pulled back, watching his length slide free from Lynua's tight sex. Her growl had faltered. He would show her what it was like to mate with an anthro.

His hips surged forward, ramming against her rear; a startled yelp came from the wolf beneath him. He didn't give her time to recover, pulling back to thrust again. Again and again, he built up a quick, powerful rhythm.

He pulled her back against his aching cock with each plunge. For that moment he was in control, he was the one in power. Lynua was whining softly, her ears pinned. Seeing her so overcome was exhilarating, spurring Koov on.

His hips pounded against her rump with purpose, giving rise to a rhythmic squelching of his cock impaling the wolf. Her whole body was shaking with his effort, her vocalizations growing steadily louder. He wouldn't be able to hold out long.

_<You haven't forgotten about me have you?>_Tolum abruptly spoke out.

Koov paused, feeling a muzzle rub up against his rump. He looked back to find the alpha male standing right behind him. The grey wolf was still fully erect as he continued to nuzzle against the malinois's rear.

Tolum deliberately pushed his nose up under Koov's tail, taking a few sniffs. <I can't let you dominate my mate now, can I?> He opened his muzzle, and gave the dog's tailhole a lick.

Koov shuddered, not with fear, but eagerness. He had never bedded with another male before, but the thought of what Tolum was going to do... it was exciting. He made no move to resist as the alpha continued to lick under his raised tail.

A firm paw on the malinois's back accompanied the male's command. <Bend over.>

Koov obeyed without question. He could feel Tolum weaving patterns, but they were unfamiliar. The wolf's threads enveloped him and Lynua, snapping into place. He felt no different. The spell's purpose was unclear.

A heavy chest slid up onto his back and two powerful paws wrapped around his waist. The grey wolf mounted him, holding him down with the dog's cock still hilted inside Lynua. Koov tried to prepare himself for the discomfort that was to follow. He was caught between the collective power of both alphas.

Tolum's tapered tip came to rest against his tailhole. The wolf rocked his hips forward, slowly thrusting himself into Koov. Both males murred with delight as the alpha finally got to take the newest member of the pack.

There was no discomfort, quite the opposite. Koov was immersed in a new wave of pleasure as he felt himself slowly filled by the male. Tolum was gentle, ever the caring alpha to his newest pack member.

His hips soon met the malinois's haunches, grinding against the short fur of Koov's rear. The dog was stunned; he had taken the alpha's full size... and it felt good. More than good.

Tolum's heavy breath made his ears perk. The alpha shifted his weight, wrapping his paws tight around Koov's waist as best he could. He could feel the wolf's erection pulsing, just waiting to rut him reckless abandon.

<I didn't say stop,> Lynua complained from beneath him.

Before Koov could do anything Tolum withdrew back and thrust into him, mashing up against the canine with hungry lust. The motion plunged his own cock deeper into Lynua.

All three groaned in a chorus of approval. The alpha male didn't waste time, pulling back to hump against Koov again. He slammed his hips into the dog urgently, forcing the theta to pound into Lynua's trembling rump. The spicy arousal of the mating threesome filled the air, pungent and intoxicating. The rest of the pack looked on in eager silence.

Koov was caught between a two pronged assault of ecstasy, seized in the moment. Their collective tempo built in earnest.

Tolum's balls slapped against his rear with each hurried thrust, the male's exertion building with his swelling knot. He was trying to tie with the malinois.

Koov's own knot inflated, growing with each frenzied motion that drove him seemingly deeper into the reeling wolf bitch beneath him. Lynua was whining louder, as if she too could sense things coming to a head.

One last powerful surge of Koov's hips sealed the deal. His knot slipped into the wolf's dripping folds with a wet slurp, locking them together. He leaned down and wrapped his arms around her stomach, riding out the crescendo that had overtaken them both. That familiar tightness was welling up within, foretelling the coming peak.

Tolum grunted above him, slamming his hips against Koov like a feral beast. Not to be outdone by his theta, he gave one last powerful effort.

His knot filled the dog to lock them together, growing larger and larger still. Koov was pushed ever closer to the frayed edge; he had never felt anything like it.

Both males humped with everything left they had, sensing the finale coming. They endeavored to grasp it in glorious finality. Koov gritted his teeth; the tension reached a pinnacle.

Lynua suddenly cried out, her ears splaying all the way back. Her body racked beneath him, the wolf's sex clamping down mercilessly around his knotted length. Tolum joined her, snarling as he mashed himself up against Koov in one last desperate act. His cock jerked within the canine, shooting the first thick spurt of the wolf's seed.

It was too much; the two fold assault pushed Koov right over the edge. His balls drew tight, his eyes twisting shut. He bared his fangs in a silent growl and exploded into the wolf's cunt with the most powerful orgasm, overcome like he had never been before.

His whole body trembled, his knotted erection sending jet after jet of his cum deep within her folds. He did his best to fill Lynua, doing just what his alpha wanted.

The dog's release stretched on for a wondrous length, draining everything his balls had to give. It was glorious. He sustained his weak thrusts against the quivering wolf, savoring the combined vocalizations of the sated alphas above and below him. He had never experienced anything like it. He never wanted it to end.

Soon, though, the magnificent high faded away into a satisfying afterglow. He felt Lynua go slack beneath him, just as Tolum dropped heavily onto his back. All three of them panted roughly and tried to regain their composure.

Lynua's warmth was a pleasant comfort, her soft fur a nice cushion to rest against. He realized that the alpha female wasn't supporting all their combined weight as he had originally thought. Tolum's spellweave was cradling his mate; her own legs had long since given out.

In that moment the alpha male dismounted, spinning about behind Koov to stand tail to tail with the anthro. The feel of the wolf's engorged knot shifting within his tight ass provoked a groan from the malinois. He shot another spurt of his own seed into the wolf bitch beneath him, a nice punctuation to one of the best releases he had ever had.

It was some minutes later when Araki made her presence known, padding up to kneel at Koov's side. He could easily smell the husky's arousal over the plethora of spicy scents that filled the air. "You looked like you enjoyed yourself," she practically grinned.

Koov waited for the shame to overtake him.

Nothing. Not even a twinge of guilt or regret. He was actually happy, probably the happiest he had been in quite some time. He didn't care that Araki was seeing him like this, tied with both wolves. Mating with the alphas was one of the greatest pleasures of the pack, especially both at the same time. He didn't quite understand how he knew that.

<I could get used to this,> Tolum mindspoke. He gave a little tug and growled. <You'll be a welcomed addition to the pack.>

Lynua said nothing beneath him. She was a panting mess, her weight now fully supported by her mate's spellweave. Koov took pride in her disheveled state. There was something carnally satisfying about plowing the haughtiness right out of the wolf bitch.

"Well that was something... else," the dog finally managed. He still couldn't believe what had just happened.

A giddy smile was playing the entirety of Araki's muzzle. "Do you feel it? You should sense it now."

He blinked. There was something new beyond what Tolum had given him earlier. It was unfamiliar, and yet not. Strong, but also soothing. And then the hazy fog seemed to peel back, opening his mind to the bond's full power.

He could feel all of their auras; the entire pack was right there with him. There were the wolves that still dominated the rock edifice, their collective auras giving off a sense of approval and barely contained excitement. He could feel the alphas, more pronounced and exuding pure bodily satisfaction. And then there was Araki, her company familiar above all else to his mind's perception. She was elated, truly as happy as he felt.

All he could manage was a speechless nod to her query.

"It will become easier with time," the husky comforted. "All of it. Just relax for now and let it all sink in."

What else could he do? He wasn't going anywhere for a while. Koov turned back to look at the grey wolf's haunches pressed up against his own. It was hard to believe that massive length of Tolum's fit without the slightest discomfort.

The alpha male suddenly looked back at him and flashed his fangs in a smirk. <Did you not sense the mana threads I wove earlier? I have my ways of making things fit. You'll feel the soreness soon enough when the numbing wears off. All males are sore after their first time with me.> When the wolf caught Koov's surprised look, he canted his head in amusement. <Your thoughts are seeping into the bond. You must learn to control them, else we'll all be inside your head.>

The malinois grimaced, silently chiding himself. He made a mental effort to rein his emotions in, not wanting to entertain the notion of what Tolum meant by 'sore.'

"Don't worry too much about it," Araki reassured. "I had the same trouble at first. You'll learn to control it in time. I cannot tell you how overjoyed I am. I never thought this would come to pass."

Koov did not know what to say. He had no idea what his future held in store. This new chapter in his life was unexpected. Unprecedented. Sage Koov of the Rajo Order was no more. He was something else entirely now.

Tolum's words in his head gave the dog's thought a blunt finality. <Welcome to the Three Peaks pack, theta.>
