It's Dark Outside

Odd Coupling

        Ell’s P.O.V.

        I opened my eyes to see a sleeping Jack. Seeing him made me smile, and it seemed my heat was gone for now. I guess it was happy with the s*x the night before. I looked down to see a slender pretty hand on my hip, knowing exactly who that hand belonged too.

        Trying to be as subtle as possible I got up and got in the shower. My body ached, and my center was still a bit swollen. Thinking about last night made me blush, and nearly vomit. Everything that happened with Queen Sam, King Redford, and Jack made me feel like my heat was coming back. But then I remembered what I did with that massive male wolf before Sam showed up and I wanted to claw my face off. Tears began to flow from my eyes as I sank to the bottom of the massive shower.

        “Ell?”

        I opened my eyes to see Sam coming. She wrapped her arms around me and I sobbed into her neck.

        “What’s wrong, pretty girl?” She asked rubbing my back. “You’re not upset with what happened last night are you?”

        I nodded. “Yes, I am.”

        Sam’s whole body stilled as her heart dropped to her feet. “Oh…”

        “No, Samara. Not about us mating, that was…amazing and just thinking about it makes my body tingle. I was talking about me letting that male nearly mate me…” I said as more tears dripped from my eyes.

        She sighed. “Oh, Ell. You weren’t in your right mind. Heats are terrible things if your mates aren’t around. What happened wasn’t your fault, it’s just instincts.”

        “I let him eat me out, Sam. I felt his tongue on my c**t, his fingers inside me, and his head against my center about to push in. I was fully going to let him, because I couldn’t stop…” I said trying to pull away.

        “No, Ell. You will not shut me out.” Sam said grabbing my face and forcing me to look at her. “Never again will I let another male touch you that isn’t us. Neither will the Kings. We are all yours Ell. Don’t forget that. Jack will forgive you, and if he doesn’t, I’ll f**k you in front of him until he does.”

        I couldn’t help the chuckle that escaped my lips from her teasing. “Thank you, Sam.”

        She smiled, giving me a wink. “We love you, Ell. Nyx…wants me to make you stay in Alaska with us…I want you to stay in Alaska with us. You don’t have to decide now, but I think we could…make this work. All of it. The six of us can be like one single unit. We’ll have to set some boundaries, but I think…we can do this.”

        “You love me already?” I said with a small smile.

        Sam leaned in to meet my lips with hers. The contact had me letting out a light moan, and right away her tongue grazed mine. I melted into her and felt her love in the kiss. Felt Nyx’s elation, and Erebus’s bliss. How was I supposed to go home with Callum and my brothers knowing I was never going to have Nyx and Samara again?

        When we pulled apart, we moved to touch our foreheads together. I let out a deep breath.

        ‘We can’t leave, Ell. Please, don’t make us be apart. Sam’s right. We can do this. Jack will be your true mate, and the Kings with Sam, and I’ll have Nyx.’ Erebus pleaded.

        (When you girls are done bonding, come to the house for breakfast. Royce and Ranger have been up since four making a feast.) Redford said into Sam’s link.

        She smiled at me and helped me to my feet. “Come, pretty girl. Let’s get you washed and dressed.”

        Sam held my hand all the way to her house, the one she shared with the Kings, talking about anything and everything. Even shielded my eyes when we passed by two rouges that were in a half dozen pieces. Whispering seductive things in my ear to distract my senses from the smell.

        When we entered the house the smell of bacon, pancakes, hash browns, sausage, ham, eggs, toast, corn beef hash, orange juice and coffee filled our nostrils. Instantly my mouth watered. Sam pulled me into the kitchen area to see all our mates drinking coffee or OJ, talking and waiting on us to arrive.

        Their eyes locked on us and already I was getting heated. Sam felt it too as she shifted her weight.

        “Morning husbands, Jack.” She said, puling me with her to the counter.

        Royce and Ranger shook their heads. “Morning wife who had glorious group s*x without us.”

        I blushed and looked to the ground. “I’m sorry, it was my fault and-“

        “Rain, they are teasing.” Jack said with a chuckle.

        “Oh. Well, this food looks so good. Thank you for making it.” I said bushing the back of Sam’s hand before going to sit on Jack’s lap.

        Ranger smiled warmly. “She sweet, kind, and affectionate to our mate. I like her.”

        Jack suppressed the natural growl that wanted to escape. “She’s pretty perfect.”

        Sam gave each of her husbands a kiss before turning to Jack and I. “Let’s eat and discuss how we are going to…proceed with this thing we have.”

        I was now a dark cherry color as I grabbed a piece of bacon and nibbled on it. This was going to be a very long talk.

        After going back and forth, we decided on…

        “We’re going to…stay in Alaska, and accept you four as our mates.” I said looking up to the Kings and Queen of the Wulfkin. Our new partners.

        Samara clasped her hands together rushing over to me and planting her lips on mine. Still in Jack’s lap, I felt his c**k twitch in his sweatpants.

        The boundaries set were loose, but firm. Me and Samara can mate however we please, and the males are allowed to join in to a specific extent. I was not allowed to mate with the Kings as Sam wasn’t allowed to mate with Jack. Kissing between all partners was acceptable, as is heavy petting, but no physical penetration of any kind. We are to act as one unit, and also separately. Jack is too remain here and act as the pack’s lead warrior titled with ‘Master Chief’ under Red after refusing to take land and starting a pack due to not wanting to separate me and Sam. They decided to move us into their home, and renovations will be made to extend the already massive house to accommodate two more and have plenty of extra rooms.

        After everything was planned out and set in place, there was another issue that came up. A loud knock on the door had everyone on edge, and me confused. I turned around from pouring me a glass of orange juice.

        The door opened and in came the male from the night before that I nearly had mated with. My whole body stiffened as I looked over to Sam, her discolored eyes nearly black. A whimper came from my throat while I began to shake.

        “Ell.” Rangers voice was soft as he rubbed my back. “It has to be addressed.”

        I nodded, looking over to Jack who sniffed the air before his eyes turned instantly black and his fangs extended. Oh great…

        “You! It was your scent on my mate!” He shouted with balled fists.

        Sam moved closer to Jack and placed a hand on his chest to keep him from lunging at Beau, even though she had the urge to rip him apart too. “If I were you Beau I would start explaining what the hell happened last night. Jack is an Alpha and was promoted to Master Chief this morning, so you better have a good reason for nearly mating Ell.”

        Beau nodded, dropping down to his knees in submission. Jack was still an Alpha, even if he wasn’t the Alpha of the pack. “Yes, my Queen.”

        I felt a few tears slide down my cheeks, but a finger wiping them away made me look up. Red was there next to Ranger looking down at me gently.  

        “Our mates are doing their best to stay strong while they confront Beau, you need to be strong too, little one.” He said before looking up to his Queen and his Master Chief.

        Ranger nodded, wrapping his arms around me comfortingly. “Nothing will happen to you. Jack loves you too much to not forgive what you couldn’t stop. A Heat is unbearable, and being so young makes it even harder to get through.”

        I nodded. “I’m pathetic compared to Samara…”

        “No, your delicate.” Royce said with a reassuring smile. “You complete her. Sam is fierce and a damned sexy pain in the ass. You are calm and gentle, you quite literally are her other half. None of us think your pathetic, especially when you make that cute blushing face when your nervous.”

        “I-I’m” I stammered out.

        Ranger chuckled. “That’s the face.”

        Beau bowed his head. “I was patrolling the outside of the pack house when I heard an enticing whimper. It was…I couldn’t resist it. When I went to the back porch I saw her sitting on a chair pleasuring herself. The scent and heat coming off her was irresistible. Seeing her displayed the way she was, I lost my clear head. Then other males came and I fought them off, further driving the primal instinct. I never even saw the mark on her neck, my Queen. I kissed her first-“

        Jack and Sam simultaneously let out deep growls.

        “He’s not going to forgive me…” I whimpered.

        I felt a light kiss on the top of my head. Royce took my hand as I was still in Rangers settling embrace. “He will. We know it.”

        Beau bowed even farther. “I…fingered her for a while before tasting her. But I never mated her. I didn’t know she was already mated.”

        Sam snorted, her anger blinding her mercy. “Only because I stopped you! Your c**k was out and your head was right there!”

        “Luna…” Beau begged.

        Jack’s wolf ripped at him to execute the male who defiled his little mate. “I’m losing control, Queen Samara.”

        Beau let out a deep sigh. “I didn’t know she was mated. I would never do anything to break your trust, Luna Sam. I had never been through something like that before. The smell, the heat…it was overtaking. I’m sorry…”

        “I forgive you.”

        Ranger leaned back, Royce squeezed my hand, and Red let out a deep sigh. I swallowed hard and held my head high.

        Jack and Sam looked to me with soft and confused eyes. Sam’s shoulders dropped. “Ell…”

        I nodded. “I forgive him. I wasn’t in control of myself, and neither was he. Being in Heat does terrible things, and I’ll never be able to fix what happened. But, I don’t think he needs to be killed for something that is natural and instinctual. As an unmated male wolf, he scented out a female in heat and his basic needs took over. It happened to me too. I was a female wolf in heat and needed to be mated and he showed up. It was just…a horrible accident. Please, if you can’t forgive him, then you can’t forgive me either.”

        Jack let out a deep breath. “Ell, I…”

        “I forgive you, pretty girl. What about you Jack? Do you forgive our sweet little mate?” Sam asked taking his hand.

        He let out a sigh/groan before glaring down at Beau. “I forgive you. This time. If you touch her inappropriately again I will disembowel you and feed you to the rouges.”

        Beau nodded. “Yes, Master Chief.”

        “You may go back to patrol now, Beau.” Luna Sam said before turning around.

        While Beau left, Samara saw what was happening in the kitchen and felt her insides tighten. There were her Kings, holding and comforting her little Ell. Ranger had his arms around her, Royce was rubbing her hand with his thumb, and Red was whispering something in her ear.

        Jack turned and let out a deep breath. “I think I’m supposed to be upset by this, but somehow I feel fine. She looks content, I’m happy they were here to help keep her calm.”

        Samara giggled. “When we made this arrangement, you accepted me and the Kings are part of your mate bond with Ell. So, you’ll probably not feel jealousy or anger towards them or me for touching her. Same goes for me, Ell, and the triplets.”

        “We are a strange…couple. Does that even apply?” Jack asked getting confused on how to categorize their coupling.

        She shook her head with a smile on her face, leaning up to kiss his cheek. “We are all just, together. That’s all. Don’t focus too hard on it, you’ll end up ignoring us.”  

        He smiled down at her. “Your wise for your age, my Queen.”

        “I’ve been told that before. Now, I want to go take a nap with my little pretty mate. You and the Kings I’m sure have business to take care of.” Samara said with a wink before turning to us. “Release Ell, husbands. We are going to get some rest. Come get us in a few hours, we want to be a part of the next meeting.”

        Ranger sighed, but let me go. “Come on, baby. We wanted to get to experience what Red and Jack got last night.”

        Red rolled his eyes. “You two already had your time with Sam before that, remember?”

        I went over to Sam and received a welcoming kiss, then she kissed the tip of my nose before gesturing to our males. “They are fricking cute, aren’t they?”

        I giggled. “Yeah, they even pretty much adopted Jack as their little brother. Look at the four of them.”

        “We can hear you calling us cute again, Sam!” Ranger called out.

        She winked at him over her shoulder. “Truth hurts, don’t it?”
