Owned by the Alphas 3: Marked by the Alphas

Derik's mouth took mine, his breaths heavy with mine as I fucked him, slamming my hips down on his. The cushions on the bottom of the tent were everywhere; the fur blankets crumpled to the side as I took what I needed.

A moment of peace in the chaos, so I could focus for the day. Without the touch of my alphas, I was a mess, and I couldn't afford to be. Not when I was hunting.

Derik gripped my loose braid in his hand, his kisses moving down my neck as he met my hips on each thrust. Pleasure kept me warm, a fire melting away the stress that I knew was waiting to eat at me, but I had to be stronger than it was.

It had been four days, and we still hadn't caught up to Adrenna. We were on her trail-keeping her running, keeping her from making it to Silas without us intercepting-but it was killing me inside.

My soul was screaming for Zale; it was only soothed by the few moments I allowed myself in my alphas' arms, and when Enzi was with me. She had been unsettled, crying, and I felt her need as my own; her shadows were leaking out of her all the time, looking for her brother.

"Yes," I moaned breathily, riding him hard until he was cursing and just as damp with sweat as I was. My orgasm stole my breath, the pleasure making me shudder against him, claws digging into his chest.

He groaned and emptied himself inside while my pussy clutched him tightly before I collapsed on him. He brushed my hair down, kissing the top of my head as he caught his breath. I didn't give myself that luxury; climbing off his waist, I moved away to shrug into my clothes.

He sat up, running a hand through his short, dark brown hair that had grown slightly longer. It was curling a little at the top, the front falling over his forehead again.
