Trishanna's nose twitched. She could feel the light of the morning peeping behind the drawn curtains. She moved her leg, not feeling any warmth. She then stretched out her arm, but there was no one on either side. She bolted upright, her nose twitching again at the scent that woke her up. Post sex scent is sexy and makes her want another round, but morning-after sex smell is just sour. But why does it smell so strong? It's not the first time, okay, maybe with all three of them it was more intense, yet that coldn't explain why it all but burned her nose. She got up and made her way to the window, throwing it open to inhale the fresh air and hope it would help get rid of the smell. She inhaled again, this time able to make out things she had never noticed before, like the rotting leaves in the woods, the smell of wild mushrooms, some of them definitely not good for eating. She even heard the sounds of the wolves training, even though the grounds were on the other side of the house. She stretched her neck, wondering what else she could smell, when a slight pulling on her skin made the memories of last night come flooding back. She turned, red-faced, rushing to the mirror in the bathroom. She flicked on the light and stared at her neck, turning it this way and that, her eyes filling with tears as she saw the two large bites on either side and the mark in the middle. She woke up El, her excitement overflowing. El rolled her eyes, stating that she was there when it happened, but Trishanna knew she was pleased by the wolfy grin on her face. Even El seemed different. Not larger, but healthier, stronger, even her coat had a new shine. She paused, placing a hand on her belly, sensing for her pup. Everything felt fine, better than fine, El's assurance removing every last trace of doubt or worry.
The door behind her flung open, revealing James panting as if he'd run a mile uphill. Bradley appeared soon after, his chest bare and covered with sweat. Trishanna's eyes tracked one particular bead as it made its way down his abs, teasingly disappearing beneath the sweats that lay low on his hips. She swallowed, he throat dry even as her mouth drooled. She wanted to follow that sweat's path and discover what delicious treasures lay underneath that grey fabric.
Brdley groaned, his fist clenched on the doorframe. "Woman, if you don't stop your thoughts, we are going to make sure that you can't even walk. Last night was intense, but right now you are driving us insane." Trishanna's eyes flicked up to his, wondering what he was talking about. She looked to James, his face flushed and his breathing ragged, as if he was holding back, but from what? Her eyes drifted lower and she could see the outline of his cock as it tented his green sweat pants, a small damp dot making that spot appear darker. She licked her lips, remembering just how good it tasted, her knees aching to bend and so she could worship it, begging for its salty-sweet nectar. James clenched his fists at his sides, his knuckles growing white as a tortured groan escaped from deep within. She could feel his fight with himself, his desire for her warring with his need to make sure that she is fine, his concern with hurting her. Bradley growled, stepping forward he turned her around and swatted her ass firmly. If you don't stop lusting after your mates and Alphas, we will have to punish you, and trust me, my little mate, you would like it too much." Another swatt this time to the other butt cheek. "Now get ready, Lorenzo has been pacing for almost an hour, wanting to check on you and our pup, so let him do his job." His voice lowered, "If you're a good girl, we'll be happy to make you come before breakfast." He dropped a kiss on her head and left, dragging a whimpering James away. He looked so pitiful, yet underneath it, his eyes blazed with the promise that he would give her all that she could ask for. Trishanna shivered at the pleasure promised in his eyes and figured the sooner she saw the doctor and assured her mates that she was fine, the sooner she would get to play, and there were two toys, she decided, were now her favourite.
Bradley pulled a resistant James down the stairs and out the door, hoping that the fresh air would cool them down. He wished that there was a nice, cold lake for them to jump into to cool off. Seeing her standing there, their mate marks clearly defined on her neck, the scent of their lovemaking and claiming thick in the air all but drove him insane. He wasn't sure if they should be locked away or she should. James whimpered, his wolf clearly present and in charge, his longing to return to Trishanna echoing in his soul. He doesn't want to leave. Bradley didn't either. He wanted to scoop her up and take her to bed, making her ride him until they both screamed each other's name. He shook his head again. He really should build that damn lake.
James followed, knowing that he should wait for Lorenzo's all clear, and they should give her body time to recover, but damn it, he was still hard, her lustful thoughts creeping into his mind painting vivid pictures he needed to make come to life. How could Bradley just walk away? If it were any other wolf, keeping him from her, he would have torn him apart, but strangely enough, he had no desire to attack him. James tried to take back control of himself, pushing his wolf back. He was taken by surprise seeing Trishanna, standing in the room, barely covered with a sheet, coated with their scent, the room filled with sex and her naughty thoughts that he just wasn't prepared, giving his wolf the chance to take over. He inhaled, glad that Bradley seemed better able to handle it, but how?
He took another breath, "Hey man, how did you find the strength to walk away from her, from our mate, who clearly wanted us?" Bradley inhaled, still smelling her on his skin. He shuddered. "That was torture, leaving her". He stopped at the edge of the clearing, not even realising that they'd come so far. He turned to James, his eyes blazing, "You think I wanted to leave? I want to stay inside of her. I want to shrink her so I could carry her in my pocket and keep her with me at all times. Sometimes I think of grabbing her and running away to some small deserted island where she will be naked under the sun, her skin tanned and her legs always open and ready for me to mount her anywhere, anytime. I want to mark her body all over so there is no doubt who she belongs to. I want to make her come an keep coming until her mind is a mush of pleasure and all she could think about is me." His breathing was ragged, His erection was evedient, his precum dripping down his leg as he thought of all the things he wanted to do to her, sure that she would enjoy every single one. "But" he said as he placed both hands on James. "I need her to be safe, whole, healthy. I need to know that our pup is okay and that there were no mistakes or side effects of the ritual last night. I need her to okay, despite what my body, my mind and my dick think."
James placed one hand on Bradley's shoulder, the two men looking eye to eye. "You're right, cause I need to know that too." He inhaled, straightening his shoulders. "Thanks for getting me out of there. Her scent hit, and those thoughts flooded my brain. I wasn't expecting our link to already be so strong, especially since the link is one-sided." Bradley nodded. "Yeah, that surprised me, but nothing should with her. My mind went blank and if it wasn't for Lorenzo reminding me right before I lost my shit and fucked her back to unconsciousness, I would not have the strength to leave." He turned back to the house, swearing that he could still smell her. I think we should take a run to cool off."
Trishanna came out of the shower, noticing that the room was cleaned and the bed made. She guessed Bradley made the arrangements before he left the house. She chuckled under her breath at the way they hightailed it out of there just because she had a few naughty thoughts. She ruffled throght her clothes, finding a baby blue dress that reached her knees, sniching at her waist above her belly, but the best was that the sleeves could be worn off the shoulder and she wanted everyone to know that she was claimed, yet at the last minute, she grabbed a light scarf and tied it around her neck. She didn't know how Bradley would tell the pack, although she guessed most of them won't mind, but you never know.
She went downstairs and headed to the clinic. Spotting Nicole, she gave a thumbs-up. Nicole beamed at her, giving her a hug before leading Trishanna into the room. Lorenzo was sitting in the little black chair he had placed in one corner, his body tensed. He jumped up, coming to Trishanna and circling her, looking for any signs of discomfort or injury. She waved her hands at his mothering, "Gosh, I'm fine. Let's get on with it. I'm hungry." Trishanna stepped into the bathroom, hating to wear the paper thin garment that never covered her butt but knowing that this time, Lorenzo was going to poke and prod until he was satisfied that everything was fine. At least she was giving a robe to wear for the first part of the exam. She stepped out, the new assistant Lorenzo hired, guiding her towards the scale. They did the usual weight check in, and she answered the ridiculously long list of questions Lorenzo concocted just to break you mentally. It took everything in her not to roll her eyes. Then there was the urine sample, which Lorenzo stepped out to examine for himself along with a blood test, wanting to cover everything her could. Apparently, there was also a lab within the pack.
Nicole then helped her onto the table, and soon the thin paper sheet lay over her lower half. Lorenzo came back twenty minutes later, a huge smile on his lips as he declared that everything was normal. In fact, he noticed that some of her levels were even elevated, which was a good sign. He came toward the table, rolling the ultrasound machine. She tensed when he squeezed the gel on her stomach; that stuff is always cold, and he moved the monitor screen around, angling it so that they could see. The door flung open, and once again the two Alphas stood at the door, sweat dripping down their bodies. Lorenzo linked them with the good news that all was well and invited them to view the pup. They walked over, James on one side while Bradley squeezed himself around the equipment to hold her other hand.
Lorenzo began moving the wand on her belly, and very soon the sound of the pup's heartbeat, sure and strong, could be heard. A few seconds later, the outline of the baby could clearly be seen. Trishanna tightened her hands, realising that they both were never there whenever she had to do an ultrasound. Seh glanced up at them, noticing the tears in their eyes. Well, James let his flow, marvelling at the fact that he had a mate, and a pup on the way. He knew he knew, but seeing his son or daughter on the screen moving around, their little fingers clenched next to their face, made it really hit home. Bradley just beamed like a fool, his chest puffing up more and more every time Lorenzo said anything that sounded like it was good, which was a lot.
The pup's skeletal structure was in good form; in fact, it seemed like it had been strengthened, or maybe the right word is reinforced from them marking her. Her levels were closer to those of a female werewolf of high rank, and her body had changed in a positive way, leading to the conclusion that her labour would not be as stressful if she were still an omega or a mated human. "But, doc, what would happen if I marked them?" Trishanna asked, wondering if this one-sided bond did so much, what would be the case if she returned the gesture.
"Actually, based on what I read from the texts Elder Seers sent us, I doubt it would have much of an effect. You see, when a werewolf marks his mate, during that time, there are certain chemicals and hormones produced in their saliva, which are transferred through the bite. That's why if Bradley had marked you while you carried another male's child, the hormones in your body and your blood, even the very cells that make up the pup's genetic code, which carries half of the father's genes, would have given you a very bad reaction. Females pregnant by their mates before marking can be marked, but not by another. Your body would have been tossed into genetic confusion, both males' genetic codes warring in your body, causing nausea, vomiting, fevers, sickness, putting you in a coma for who knows how long, losing the pup or early miscarriage which wouldn't gareentee the pup's survived and even your death." Lorenzo sighed, the room going heavy for a minute.
"However, if you marked them, it would be your genetic code entering their body one at a time, but your previous omeag status and/or lack of your wolf means your siliva wouldn't have had those bonding chemicals. Even if you were to bite hard enough without canines to draw blood, you couldn't inject what you don't have." Trishanna nodded at his explanation. "Hmm... kinda like how a snake injects poison with their fangs?" she asked, wanting to be sure she understood the mechanics of mating. Lornezo nodded. "Okay, so now that I have both of their genetic stuff coursing through me, what does that mean?"
"Great question", he responded as he wrote up her chat. "It means that since you actually have a wolf and you are now connected, your body's chemical structure was like that of a lower rank wolf, but higher than an omega. Being pregnant with an Alpha's child, your body adapted a few 'tweaks', shall we say, to ensure fetal development went well. When you connected with your wolf, it's like, biologically, your rank went up. Now that you have two Alpha's genetic code, you are now a high-ranking shewolf, genetically which improved the pup's development even in this stage. I'm sure you being born of high birth from your original realm also has a part to play, but I'm not sure how. Anyway, this means that after the baby is born, you should be able to shift during the full moon as shifting while pregnant is impossible."
Nicole interjected, "Yep, that's why males go super crazy when their mates are pregnant. Not being able to shift means that the female and her pup are in more danger. They can't run and they can't fight, or use the boosted abilities of our wolf form. We only have heightened senses during this time". Trishanna mulled over what they said as she got cleaned up and headed back to her room. She was so lost in thought, asking El if this is also what happens in her home realm, that she didn't even realise that both her mates followed her to their room. "Why are you guys here?" she asked, not sure but glad either way. Bradley closed the door, and James smiled. "Males always keep their promises to their mate, and we promised to make you come before breakfast." Trishanna smiled, walking to the bed where she turned, took off her clothes and sat facing them. She leaned back and spread her legs, her centre already glistening from her arousal at his words. "Well, she said, "action speaks louder than words, so I suggest you guys get to work", and with a look at each other, both men advanced, every cell in their body determined to keep their promises no matter what.
