“We have a trespasser,” Caspian said after he had shifted in front of the other alpha wolf shifter. Trey barely looked at him. All he did was throw a few items of clothing toward him so that he could get dressed again.
They were both assigned to the perimeter watch on this day. It was usually so boring that it was difficult to stay alert. Caspian usually enjoyed Trey’s company. But spending several hours cooped up while listening to Trey’s good humour and easy bantering sometimes got a bit too much. Caspian preferred to go scouting on his own, just to get some time alone. He got along well with Trey, but Caspian preferred to keep his wits about him when he was responsible for their pack’s safety.
“How many are they?” Trey was all business now.
“Just one. One human male.”
“Doesn’t sound like much of a threat.” Trey grinned at him as if he couldn’t wait to tease Caspian about his tendency to see trouble where there was none.
“He’s armed.”
Trey chuckled. “So would I be if I were a weak human walking alone in these mountains. There are too many wolves around here.”
“We should keep an eye on him.”
“Sure. It’s not like there’s anything else to do. I hate the boring patrols.”
“It’s better that it’s boring than to get killed.”
“Very funny. I wonder why I always get saddled with your sour moods on these patrols.”
Caspian knew the reason, but he didn’t bother to enlighten Trey. Their pack leader, Daxton Hale, had told him when he had complained about his partner’s sunny disposition.
“It’s good for you to be around him,” his Alpha had said.
Caspian doubted that was the case. Trey had a way of getting under his skin and annoying the hell out of him, even when he wasn’t doing anything other than being himself. They were simply polar opposites when it came to their personalities. Still, there was one detail Caspian would never share with Trey. Trey reminded him of his last boyfriend. It unnerved Caspian more than it should have. Alphas never dated other alphas, and it wasn’t like he was attracted to the other man. Not like that. But Trey had a tendency to notice things that Caspian preferred to keep hidden. But just like the scar on Caspian’s chin, it was impossible to hide when Trey seemed to look straight into his soul and know what was on his mind.
It was one of the reasons Caspian found it easier to work beside Luke or Jace. They focused on the job and nothing else. They knew how to take the task seriously enough to do the work that needed to be done. Not trying to have fun while they worked. The easy camaraderie was something Caspian had always struggled to adjust to. It seemed to come so naturally for the other members of his pack.
They followed the trespasser’s trail, and suddenly Caspian stopped.
“What the hell?”
The sweetest scent he had ever smelled touched his nostrils and made him go from curious to aroused in seconds.
“I’ll be damned,” Trey muttered beside him, sounding more serious than he normally did. “He’s an omega. A freaking tasty and fuckable omega.”
“But human,” Caspian added. What he didn’t want to say out loud was what Trey had no problem blurting out.
“I wonder which one of us he belongs to.”
Caspian snorted. “Probably none of our pack alphas.”
“Don’t be so gloomy, Caspian. With a scent like that? He’s ripe and available for the taking. Let’s go.” Trey stepped forward, and Caspian grabbed his arm and pulled him back.
“Not so fast, you idiot.”
“I’m not letting this chance get away from me. Are you coming or not?”
“What if he’s mine?” Caspian flung at him.
“He might just as easily be mine,” Trey conceded. “So, do you want to share or not?”
“What about the others? They are also in need of an omega?”
“If neither of us can knot him, we can let the rest of our pack alphas have a taste of him.”
“But that won’t be a gangbang.”
“Who cares? We can always fuck him more than once. It’s not against the rules.”
His words made Caspian pause. “I don’t think we have any specific rules for gangbangs. It’s just our way to share whatever we have.”
“Fair enough. We can share him. A menage is also a form of sharing, even if it’s just the two of us getting a head start.” Trey gave him a wide smile.
The offer was too tempting. And the human’s scent was impossible to ignore. He smelled even better than the last two human omegas they had come across. Both of them had fucked them. But in the end, the omegas had turned out to belong to some other lucky alphas of their pack. He knew that neither Daxton nor Luke would ever consider sharing their mates with any other alpha after they had first knotted their omegas. It was the way the shifter bond worked. Once the knot formed inside an omega, they were forever bonded to only one alpha.
So the rest of the pack alphas had got one taste of them, but that was all. A mated alpha would never be able to share his mate once he had knotted him. It was against every instinct.
“I know a remote cabin just a few kilometres from us. We can bring him there,” Caspian said.
“Are you sure the bed is big enough?”
“Sure. It will be just perfect for the three of us.”
“Great. Let’s grab our prize before he gets away.”
