Breathing heavily, Smokey began pumping his hips, shuttling his cock in and out of Norm’s love tunnel. Sweat slicked his body, fire raged through his veins, and yet, Smokey fought his orgasm. He hadn’t had enough of Norm and he doubted he ever would. Rising up onto his knees, Smokey grabbed Norm’s hips, holding him in place. Increasing the speed of his thrusts, he was now solely focused on making Norm his by marking him both inside and out.
Smokey’s bear rose up on his hind legs, bellowing out his warning to everyone that Norm’s bear belonged to him. Smokey felt his fangs drop, readying him for the claiming. Pumping faster, he targeted Norm’s prostate, hitting it constantly. He could no longer hold back his orgasm as it skated up his spine before descending tohis groin. Glancing at Theo, Smokey ordered, “Come, Shining Star!”
As his own orgasm finally arrived, Smokey bent over Norm’s back and sank his fangs into his mate’s shoulder. Joined together, he watched as their bears greeted each other before merging into one. From now on, Norm’s bear would be as powerful and strong as Smokey’s grizzly and together they would protect their Omega and his cubs from anyone who might wish to do them harm.
Norm’s mouth and ass were filled with his mates’ cum when he felt Smokey’s fangs pierce his skin. He was claimed, owned by his mate’s bear in a spectacular manner and the love filling his heart finally chased away the lingering hurt his parents had caused him.
Wrapping his arms around Norm, Smokey rolled over, still linked with his mate. Looking over Norm’s shoulder, he noticed his now-limp cock. Glancing up at Theo, he murmured, “I think our mate’s cock, needs a cleaning Shining Star.”
Grinning, Theo moved down the bed until he was even with Norm’s flaccid cock. Lifting it gently, he milked the last few drops of cum that still remained from his mate’s ejaculation when Smokey had claimed him. After licking Norm’s cock clean, he moved up and kissed his mate, letting him taste himself on Theo’s tongue, before whispering, “I love you, Eagle Feather.”
Nestled together like bears in a winter den, the three mates curled up together. Smokey’s claiming of Norm and Theo filled him with a deep satisfaction, though to be truly to be bound together, as Theo had promised earlier, he still needed to be claimed by his two mates. But that could wait until they had gotten some rest.

After a restless night of sleep, Jackson decided it was useless to stay in bed. Carefully removing himself from Steel’s arms, he rolled over and sat up, staring at the slice of early morning sun cutting across their bedroom floor.
“Babe,” Steel murmured, still half asleep, “What’s the matter?”
Jackson smiled and ran his fingers through his mate’s messy hair. “I love this side of you,” he said.
“Oh yeah? And what exactly do you love?” Steel asked, his eyes now focused on Jackson.
“Everything…messy hair, sexy, sleepy voice, and definitely your half-opened eyes filled with love for me.”
“What about my other side?”
“Oh, I love that too…styled hair begging for my touch, deep growly voice commanding me to get down on my knees, and those tight jeans you love to wear…mmm…mmm… And I never can get enough of that sexy ass of yours.”
“Hmmm…sounds just like what I love about you.” Sitting up, Steel scooched back until he was resting against the headboard, and then, patting the space next to him, he said, “Now since we both agree on how hot we are, why don’t you come here and tell me what’s bothering you? And don’t say nothing, because I’ll bet you didn’t sleep more than an hour or two last night. Is it Cain?”
Crawling over to Steel, Jackson snuggled against his mate’s side. “Cain’s part of it…Dylon now agrees that Cain’s needed if we’re gonna win against the humans…”
“But you still aren’t sure.”
“Not exactly. I do agree with Dylon about Cain but I can’t shake the feeling that relying solely on him to solve the human problem is a mistake,” Jackson said, looking at Steel. “I believe he has a role to play but…”
“We need more than just him,” Steel finished.
“Exactly. Right now, it may just involve the Blackwood Pack, but according to Dylon, humans have been infiltrating our world for longer than we thought. Zane confirmed that humans were bidding on Colton—which means they knew about shifters way back then.
“And probably long before that, too,” Steel said quietly, thinking it over.
“Right…and it’s not just confined to here…so how can just one pack fight what I fear is an army of humans looking to use us for their own purposes? Last night, after thinking it over, I realized we can’t do it alone…not even with Cain helping us.”
“Did you come up with a solution?”
“Maybe…but…”
“You have doubts.”
Snorting, Jackson replied, “Just a fucking shit-ton of them. The safety of every member of my pack is paramount because, as I discovered with Josiah, the world is filled with evil assholes who want power and money. My brothers suffered due to the actions of one of them and are just now beginning to live again. I won’t…I can’t jeopardize that no matter what. And then, there are our powers…can you imagine what my brothers’ lives would be like if humans found out about them? There’d be no place on earth that would be safe for them.”
“And that means,” added Steel, “that secrecy must be maintained until whatever allies you enlist have proven themselves worthy of your trust.”
“Exactly…and that brings me to the next problem…Kahn. Your father told me about Reeve’s childhood and how they met.”
“And…”
