Chapter 1

Luna's POV:

The full moon hangs heavy in the dark sky, bathing the forest in an ethereal glow as I make my way towards the clearing. My heart pounds, equal parts nervous and excited. I don't know what awaits me tonight, but my very soul has been calling out for it.

For them.

Cole, Levi and Jason - my destined mates. Werewolves who have pursued me relentlessly since I first arrived in this remote mountain town just months ago. I tried to resist the powerful draw at first, unsure if they wanted me or just my scent, my energy. But the mystical bond between us goes beyond physical desires. We are eternally connected, four parts of one whole.

I hear a branch snap and spin around. Cole stalks towards me on all fours, muscles tensed and ready to pounce. His green eyes shine brightly with anticipation. My breath catches at the sight of his naked glory.

"My beautiful mate," he growls, circling me. His fingers trail over my skin as he moves, raising shivery goosebumps in their wake. "Are you ready?"

I can only nod, words failing me in his presence. I've never been more ready for anything in my life.

Cole smiles then, his canines elongating. My heart skips as he leans in close to brush his nose along the curve of my neck, inhaling deeply. When his tongue flicks out to trace my frantic pulse, I can't hold back a breathy moan.

More sounds herald Levi and Jason's arrival, prowling out of the shadows to join us. Cole's hands grasp my hips possessively, pulling my back against his hard chest. I feel small and safe ensconced within his powerful embrace, protected.

My eyes drift closed and I whisper the word I've been aching to say for what feels like forever: "Please..."

Please make me yours tonight. Claim me, mark me. Let our souls intertwine at last.

Levi lets out a soft growl, moving behind me. His lips find the curve of my shoulder, nipping and sucking at my sensitive skin. At the same moment Jason drops gracefully to his knees before me, grasping my thighs to part them.

My breaths turn rapid and shallow as Jason leans in. When his hot, wet mouth descends to taste my aching center, I cry out, consumed by intense sensation. My fingertips dig into Cole's forearms for support. Levi's hands slide beneath my filmy top to cup my breasts, rolling and tugging my nipples firmly.

Writhing between them, I'm lost to primal need. My hips grind shamelessly against Jason's talented lips and tongue. Cole's grip on me tightens, holding me steady for their exquisite torment.

"That's it, darling," Cole rasps in my ear. "Let us make you feel good."

Mindless, burning up from the inside, I chase my release. My climax crashes over me violently at Levi's growled command to come for them. I shatter spectacularly, lights bursting behind my eyes.

Dazed, I'm lowered to the blanket of moss on the forest floor. My mates quickly strip away the last of my clothes and their own before descending upon my willing body with hands, lips and tongues intent on exploring every curve and crevice.

Their mouths draw feather-light patterns across my tender flesh. My back arches, seeking more pressure, more contact. But they keep their touches reverent, worshipful. 

These powerful creatures could destroy me in an instant, but instead they handle me with utmost care and adoration. Their groans and murmurs tell me I'm beautiful, precious, desired. No one has ever made me feel so profoundly wanted before. My heart swells, tears gathering behind my closed lids.

After what feels like blissful hours I'm flipped gently onto my stomach. A tremor rolls down my spine as Cole settles his large frame over me, covering me protectively. I feel his rigid length nestled between my thighs, pressed along my slick seam. My inner muscles clench instinctively, eager for him to fill me.

"Mine," Cole growls, fierce and possessive. In one powerful stroke he's inside me, stretching me exquisitely. I breathe out a satisfied moan at the feeling of fullness. Of rightness. This is meant to be.

As Cole begins a steady rhythm I feel Levi and Jason move up near my head, their knees braced on either side. They present themselves to my lips and I take turns licking and sucking them hungrily. Their unrestrained groans vibrate through me, ratcheting my own pleasure impossibly higher.

I'm floating, body singing. The three move as one being, working me in perfect synchronicity. Never before have I felt so beautiful, so desired. So alive.

My next climax builds at the speed of light. Cole hits the perfect spot inside and I shatter again, wailing out my euphoria. My inner walls grip him tightly and he follows me over with a roar, spilling heat deep within.

Levi and Jason add to the wetness, finding their own fierce releases across my back. I relish the sensation of being utterly claimed by them. I'm no longer just Luna - I'm an extension of their souls now.

We remain intertwined, reveling in the afterglow and each other. I sigh contentedly, replete in a way I've never known. But the tension in my mates' bodies returns too soon, their heads lifting in unison to scan the tree line.

"What's wrong?" I ask shakily.

"We're not alone," Cole rumbles. The words send a spike of fear through my heart. I thought this night was about the four of us bonding, connecting. Had I read the signs wrong?

Before I can ask anything more the wolves are on their feet, crouching protectively around my nude, vulnerable form. Lethal claws extend from their fingertips, ready to strike.

A menacing growl echoes from somewhere in the darkness beyond. I whimper, shrinking back against Cole's furry legs. The wolves answer with snarls of their own.

My breaths come in panicked gasps now. I'm not sure what's out there, but my mates' tense body language warns me it's not friendly.

This joyous night of new beginnings has turned ominous. But I trust Cole, Levi and Jason to keep me safe, no matter what threats lurk in the shadows. I cling to them desperately as the evil in the woods howls again, closer now.

My destiny with these wolves has only just begun, and I'll fight with everything in me to protect it.
