  He showed her where the wood was in back of the cabin and within a few minutes, the two of them were crouched in front of the fireplace. He placed the first couple of logs in himself and then handed one to Haley. “You wanna give it a shot?”

  “Sure.” She said. She then reached towards the back of the fireplace but lost her footing on some newspaper they’d crumpled up to help get the fire going. She could feel herself on a face first collision towards the grate which held the logs. But, just prior to her jaw making contact with it, she was snatched up by strength the likes of which she’d never known any man to possess.

  “Careful!” Paul exclaimed. He grabbed her curvy form and within a fraction of a second pulled her close to him. And just that quickly she was pressed against his thick core. She did not struggle to break free and he did not show any signs of releasing her.

  And then, the moment in which it would have been natural to do it passed as well. Haley could feel his heart thump beneath his thick chest as hers matched its rhythm. She could sense the tides of intent shift under his clothing and knew that the meaning of the moment was no longer about her safety.

  She looked up at him and said softly, “Thank you.”

  His eyes narrowed as he looked down at her. Between tufts of dirty blond hair he descended wordlessly towards her mouth which had parted in readied anticipation. Haley’s soul trembled. Never had any man caused the deepest parts of her to come so completely alive. And here, there were two of them.

  As she tried to complete her thoughts, Paul pounced upon her. He moved with lightning speed and breathtaking ease. Before Haley realized it, his mouth had taken full possession of hers. Their tongues lashed eagerly at one another and she began to feel as though she were being devoured.

  Within seconds, they were groping one another. Paul’s hands traced the edges of her curves - tantalizing and teasing as they did. Her body hummed from the inside out in anticipation that her long unmet needs might soon be fulfilled.

  Finally. She thought.

  It was so unlike her to be this way. She’d always held back for one reason or another. Perhaps it was scar tissue from forgotten teasing she’d endured long ago. Or maybe it was the way Adam had devalued her worth as woman by refusing to have children with her but having no qualms about doing it with someone else.

  Whatever the case, she was tired of fighting and only wanted for once, to surrender and be worshipped for who she was and what she had to give. No sooner had that thought escaped her mind than it seemed as if Paul sensed her need. He broke free from her and with a lick of his lips whispered, “Look how beautiful you are Haley. You are fucking stunning.”

  There was a stilled moment of silence between the pair as they looked at one another.

  “I agree.” said a voice from across the room.

  Haley’s head swiveled to see Caleb standing in the doorway. Perhaps they’d left it open when they came in or, maybe, the wind took it. She had no idea.

  Ordinarily, white hot shame would have flooded her body if she were to find herself in the midst of such a situation. She would have fretted about what he had seen, what it meant and what she would say.

  But not this time.

  No.

  Instead, she felt a strange sense of calm.

  Caleb smiled and said, “I see that you started without me Paul.”

  ***

  Suddenly the warmth and ease that cradled her was replaced by something entirely different. Haley felt uneasy and a rising tide of panic was building up from deep within.

  “What does he mean… started without him?” Haley asked indignantly as she pulled away from Paul. “What the hell is this? What is going on here? You better tell me and quickly or I am leaving.”

  Caleb stepped towards her and said, “We can’t let you do that Haley.”

  “Fuck you!” she screamed. “Get out of my way!”

  Paul let out a noise that sounded more like a growl than a shout and said, “Caleb! You are scaring her…”

  He then turned to her and said, “Haley, wait. Please. We would never hurt you. Please believe that.” He cast a disapproving look towards his younger sibling and said, “My brother can be a poor communicator at times. Give us a chance to explain, please.”

  As excited as the situation had gotten her, Haley’s instincts were still telling her that there was nothing to worry about. She narrowed her eyes towards them and said, “Alright, I’ll give you five minutes.”

  Paul cleared his throat and said, “This will be hard to explain and probably even harder to understand. But, thank you for listening.”

  Haley merely looked at him. Her internal stopwatch had already started running.

  He continued and said, “There’s no easy ways to say this so I will just say it. We are shapeshifters which means that we can transform between our human form and that of another animal. While there are many kinds of shifters, we are wolf shifters.”

  Haley burst out laughing. “Oh come on! You can’t really expect me to believe something like that? What the hell kind of weirdos are you two?”

  Paul exhaled deeply and said, “Caleb…”

  Caleb nodded and in mere seconds, transformed from the muscled creation of human perfection into an honest to God wolf right before her eyes. Haley’s vision boggled at the sight of it. Caleb paced back and forth in front of her. His muscles bulged and flexed beneath a thick coat of dark grey fur while his tail swished slowly, as if stalking prey.

  At first, Haley’s mind was blank but then fear of the unknown overwhelmed her and she instinctively fell into Paul’s arms. Paul embraced her and said, “There is nothing to fear Haley. Just hear me out without judgment or assumptions and I promise, we will tell you everything.”

  She listened as Paul told the story of their ancestors who’d barely made it there alive a hundred years before. They’d come from back east where their relatives had been caught, tried and hanged as witches. Some managed to escape, settle here and live in almost complete anonymity for generations until Paul and Caleb’s mates had recently gone missing.

  Mee Mee perhaps?

  Haley interrupted and said, “Wait… the children. Where are their mothers? I want answers…”

  Paul replied, “The females were new to the area and belonged to a pack to the North. It was their night to hunt. As ranchers, we are respectful of our neighbor’s land and possessions. It appears as though it was an accident. The children were still very small at the time.”

  Haley replied, “What was an accident?”

  By now, Caleb had shifted back. She looked at them as somber masks fell over their faces when Caleb replied, “They were shot and killed. Just across the northernmost ridgeline is the Jeffers Homestead. It’s also where we knew that some mule deer had bedded down for the night. It was the surest place to hunt. After they hadn’t returned, we feared the worst.”

  Haley listened, dumbfounded.

  Caleb continued, “The Department of Natural Resources came by the next day to warn us that two female timber wolves been taken down and to be on the lookout for more in the area. We had no choice but to keep quiet about it. We told the neighbors that we separated from our wives and they’d returned home to the North.”

  Paul interrupted, “It’s the chance you take as a shifter. Being exposed would be too great a risk to our survival and so we’re left to raise the children on our own. We had to tell the kids that their mommies went to heaven. There was nothing else we could do…”

  Haley’s heart sank. Suddenly her feelings of fear and shock give way to sadness for not only the children but the brothers as well.

  Caleb stepped forward and said, “Haley, I didn’t mean to frighten you and I want to thank you for your kindness and understanding. Now, I’m going to get the children in bed. I’ll see you tomorrow.”

  Haley could feel her throat choke with emotion. She could tell that they were both being sincere and as hard as it was to believe, apparently telling the truth. Unconsciously, she embrac
ed him, kissed him lightly on the cheek and said, “Goodnight Caleb.”

  After Caleb had left, she turned back to Paul and said, “What happened to you, to your kind, it makes me feel so bad for you.”

  Paul immediately began to shake his head as he moved towards her. “Don’t.” he said defiantly. “We are proud and strong and will survive - no matter what.”

  Haley’s mind was awash in a sea of emotion. In the span of an hour, she witnessed men turn into beasts before her eyes and nearly been taken by one in the process. She wanted to say something to him, anything that would make him feel she understood.

  But before she could, Paul said, “Haley, there’s one last thing you need to know.”

  Without thought she replied, “Yes? What is it?”

  Wolflike, Paul moved towards her and took control of their intimate space. He looked into her eyes and said, “Caleb and I believe you to be our one and only mate. We’ve talked about it and are convinced. We knew from the minute we laid eyes upon you. Our animal spirits have convinced us.”

  Confused she asked, “Wait? Weren’t the mothers of your children your mates?”

  He replied, “To bear young, it is not necessary for us to bond with our true mate. Just like with humans, we are capable of continuing the line without such pair bonding. But for a wolf to encounter his one and only mate is rare thing indeed. We know that it is you Haley. Your virtues, your honor and your beauty are all that our family needs to be complete. We know that you would make an unbelievable mother not only to our current children but also, our unborn.”

  Unborn?

  “Wait, I… What do you mean unborn?” she asked hesitantly.

  “Caleb and I want to mate with you and claim you as the bearer of our young.” he replied calmly.

  “You and Caleb?” she asked. “Isn’t sharing forbidden amongst alpha males types?”

  Paul chuckled and said, “You watch far too many nature shows on television Haley. No, we have no problem sharing you between us - the survival of the group is above all.”

  It was impossible to process everything. She couldn’t. She needed time, space and rest. But, it would not come tonight. Paul sensed that she wavered and struggled with uncertainty. With one primal swoop, he slashed through it all and growled, “Enough talk for now.”

  ***

  As if they never missed a beat, his inner wolf leapt into action. He grabbed onto her soft curves and pulled her tight against him. Roughly, he pressed the full weight of his lips against hers and Haley’s knees wobbled under the speed of his assault.

  No longer would she question or care and she signaled it by exposing her neck in ready submission. Lustfully, Paul wrapped a fistful of her hair into his hands and pulled slightly. Haley moaned with a carnal pleasure.

  A mix of lust and need and destiny fueled her from deep inside. Her core pulsed with feminine honey and her eyes fluttered and flickered as Paul continued to up the steamy ante.

  For few moments more they delighted in one another until Paul paused and looked into her eyes. It was an ancient look, timeless and mystical, that required no words to decipher its meaning. His wordless silence beckoned her darkest, most neglected places and coaxed them to his canine.

  Haley looked past the man and into the beast. She felt destined to be here, under their control and bent to the will of the pack. She sensed an opportunity for herself to be relieved from the burden of what her life had become and instead, follow a new path.

  He lingered there for a moment and then crashed into her once again. Desire tingled across every square inch of exposed flesh as his roughness collided with her softness. Lust of this type was foreign to her and passion of this kind she thought to be eternally forbidden. He was the unfiltered animal - raw, exposed, uninhibited and intent on claiming the prize that the brothers must have to survive.

  Beneath the delicate fabric of her summer dress, she roiled. Fire traveled from the depths and flushed outwards yearning to be extinguished by him. As if on cue, he sensed her body’s signals and brazenly tore at the fabric of her clothing. Haley groaned with a mix of surprise, pleasure and approval.

  Deftly, he traveled up the entire length of it, ripping and slashing with impunity. She had never felt savagery of this kind and knew immediately that she could never live without it again. Finally, the wild creature had bared her supple flesh before him. Now, only the fine lace of her bra and panties stood between his passion and her surrender.

  No words passed between them, only Nature’s most primal sounds were required. Still pressed against the timber walls of the cabin, Haley looked down with delight as the wolf moved his meaty palms down the length of her curvaceous torso.

  Goose pimples erupted from Haley’s tender flesh as she wriggled and trembled under his touch. His fingers were like ten warm embers melting her frozen depths, breaking free the glaciers of her sexual inactivity. Within seconds he was upon her engorged globes, greedily filling his hands with her bountiful flesh.

  The rosy buds of her nipples quickly bloomed into full flower and she groaned in aching approval. She felt as if they would burst through the wispy fabric of her brassiere in an effort to receive the attention that they craved. And, just as he had done with her dress moments before, the primitive wolf slashed at the barrier of her undergarments.

  The thin fabric of her bra fell away and her fleshy mounds flopped heavily into his palms, filling them completely. Instinctively, she reached for his pants, desperate to see what gifts Nature bestowed upon the wild things of the world. From her deepest, wettest places she needed to see it, touch it, taste it…

  “No…” he growled. “Not yet.”

  Haley slowly released her grasp and let her hands fall to her side. She had always felt the need to please, to do for others and place her own needs last - especially when it came to men. And now was no different. She wanted only to hold him, touch him, caress him deep into her flesh and never release him. But, it was clear that he was, that they were, different and would not require that of her.

  But before another thought could penetrate the fog of her mind, her body was suddenly sent reeling with heat. His assault upon her tender places had begun and she looked down in sheer delight as his mouth engulfed her inflamed nipples.

  She was safe within his savagery and her swollen globes satisfied within the hot confines of his wet orifice. “Ffffuuuuucccckkkk…” she groaned. The sound resonated from the deepest part of her being and was full outward expression of her mental state.

  He moved with loving skill between her twin orbs - licking, sucking and squeezing both like a virtuoso. For several seconds he lavished her and extracted from her purrs of bliss which only invigorated his inner canine.

  Then at once, he released his grasp upon her breasts and descended, inch by tortuous inch down the length of her midsection. Her mind raced ahead, filled with eager anticipation. Her breath accelerated and came in quick, short gulps as he rained soft, wet kisses down the midline of her belly. At last, he reached the final barrier between his mouth and her lips. Without delay he hooked his fingers around the waistband of her lace thong. Her core literally quaked under his warm animal breath. She could feel his intent through the delicate garment and her channel moistened itself further in preparation.

  She gazed down upon the stacks of muscle and flesh that knelt before her, perilously close to the most precious of all gifts she could offer. Suddenly, she could feel silken veneer of her lacy undergarment sliding down her upper thighs. A rush of cool air flooded against her moist folds and she gasped. Haley felt her vision blur for a moment as her panties continued their free fall until they rested helplessly around her ankles. He gently lifted her right thigh and coaxed them off of her.

  And, then, it was done.

  She stood bared before him unable to hide anything and for the first time in her life, not caring to either. He dropped her panties to the floor, wrapped his large hands around her upper thighs and moved his head towards her quivering mound. Desper
ate, she gazed down to see him engulfed with a dark lust and hunger for her flesh.

  His tongue flicked like an ancient serpent and coaxed her liquid forth for his pleasure and consumption. And then, before she’d realized it, he was upon her painfully swollen clit. He suckled her bud long and deep. Her legs quivered and shook and nearly gave way under the heat of the initial rush.

  He devoured her as his beast must and she now understood what it meant to be taken. He licked and sucked and flicked at her swollen raspberry to extract from her the creamy essence he longed for. She began to rub her round ass against the wall and press her hips back and forth against his mouth. Her velvety pocket cried out for any part of him to be inside of her and then, as if sensing exactly that need, he drove two thick digits upwards within.

  “Aaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!” she cried out.

  He began to make slow, long pulls against the slickness of her inner walls. Her comparatively small entry seized around his fingers and flexed as they massaged her insides. She shuddered to think of what the girth of his fingers meant for the rest of him.

  His pace quickened as did the arrival of her inevitable climax. The two gradually reached a perfect symmetry of motion, sound and sex. Her clit vibrated in his mouth and she knew that any moment she would let loose and release herself to him completely.

  The small space between them was filled with the aroma of prurient lust and unbridled avarice. It was time now, Haley could feel it. She rocked against him with wild abandon and any willpower she had remaining had fused into the single purpose of orgasm. Her channel tightened like a vice around his meaty invaders and then her mind paused at the brink. Time was slowed and with one final pull from him, she erupted.

  “Ohhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!” she screamed.

  Through the murkiness of climax she heard him growl once more as the wolf within consumed her like conquered game. Her feminine essence flowed from inside in loving tribute to the heights of ecstasy that he’d taken her. She had never cum so hard or so long in her young life and never even knew such things to be possible.
