Three Alphas

12

Adam, the wolf I mean, stepped forward, making me freeze. He pushes his long nose to my cheek before trailing it down to my neck. He stayed in the position for a moment before letting Ethan take his place. They take turns touching and smelling my neck. When it was Dean's turn, he let out a little playful growl, making me almost jump out of my skin.

The feel of their incredibly soft fur pushing against my skin fills me with warmth. Nothing has ever felt so soft before. Nothing has ever been so magical before.

They turned back into human form, but I was still frozen, stuck in thought. It didn't even faze me that three hot guys, who were apparently in love with me, were all naked in front of me.

They were dressed again when Ethan puts his hand on my cheek. My eyes tear away from the ground to look up into his eyes, still in shock. He whispers softly, "Charlie? Hey, you okay?"

I open my mouth to say something but nothing comes out. I just gape at them, feeling absolutely petrified. Ethan sighs, letting go of me.

He stands up, gesturing for Adam to come forward. Adam kneels in front of me. He stares softly into my eyes, resembling someone who wasn't extremely intimidating.

All of a sudden, his eyes turned red and a sudden surge of urgency to snap out of my glazed mind fill me. I jump, releasing a yelp and scurrying to the side, trying to put distance between me and Adam.

"What the hell? What the hell? What the hell?" I ramble, ignoring the sticks and rocks stabbing into my palms as I scooch away. "How can you- Why can you? Huh?" They watched me amused but slightly worried. "Explain!" I order loudly.

They were surprised by my tone, not expecting me to be angry. But how am I supposed to feel? I just witnessed three guys turn into literal dogs!

Adam says simply, "We're werewolves, Charlie. And we are alphas of the pack in this town."

Ethan adds, "And you're our mate!"

I huff before shouting, "And what the hell does that mean?"

Ethan continued, "That first day in the woods, we marked you. And because we did that, tomorrow you'll go through something..."

I waited for him to keep talking but he just looked at the others, clearly not wanting to explain. I groan out, "Just spit it out!"

Dean spoke up with enthusiasm, "You're going into heat!"

What the fuck...

"And what does that mean?" I question the 'alphas'.

Adam explains the logistics of their werewolf-y stuff that I'm starting to believe, "Basically you'll release waves of hormones that will attract werewolves. The ones who mark someone aren't particularly the ones who have to mate with the marked. Anyone can mate when the heat starts. But in this circumstance, since the three of us are alphas of the same pack, you have protection from our people. None of our pack would try anything but there still are some werewolves that will desire you enough to attempt to mate with you. But we'll be with you the whole time so you don't have to worry about anyone else claiming you."

My mouth opens and closes a few times, trying to process the information. I shake my head and ask, "What? Please just give me the basics. What are you talking about?"

Dean sighs before explaining uninterestedly, "You're horny. That makes us horny. We fuck you. Give you our knot. And then we're together." He pauses, shrugging his shoulders. "Trust me, it's a lot more fun than it sounds. And these two," He points to Ethan and Adam, leaning in close to me. "They're like, really fucking good at it." Then with a little wink, he adds, "But I have plenty of experience too."

My eyebrows push together to glare at him. I stand from the ground and start stomping away. Dean rushes to grab onto my waist and push me against a nearby tree. I gasp but it turns into a moan as he kisses a special spot on my neck. The moan grows in volume and need as he nibbles very lightly and sucks. I reach up, tangling my hands in his curls. The whimper he lets out against my skin echoes in my ears.

He lets me go, stepping back to look me in the eyes. I start breathing slower now that I'm free from his hold and his wandering hands. He winks, causing me to cover the marks on my neck I know he made with my hand as I blush.

With a sneaky little lip bite, Dean mumbles softly, "So? Say something, Charlie."

I move my gaze down to the ground and whisper, "Please take me home. I just, I need time to think."

Dean lets out a breath, glancing up to the sky. The sun was starting to set. And the eerie silence of the nighttime woods was starting to settle in.

Dean nods, taking my hand and motioning to Adam and Ethan to follow. He pulls me through the woods and back to the parking lot of the diner.

Dean brings me to a fancy black car. He opens the back door, letting me slide in. He hops into the passenger seat after he closes my door for me. Adam gets into the driver's seat and Ethan scoots in beside me.

They drive me home in silence, none of us knowing what to say to fill the space.

Dean and Adam turn in their seats to look at me when Adam puts the car in park in my driveway.

Adam starts, "I hope you believe us now. We love you. A-And be careful tomorrow. We don't know when it will start but-"

"Okay okay! I got it. And I believe you now." I leave the car with my head down and quietly enter my empty house.

That night, I dream of all the possibilities tomorrow could hold.
