Except they curved upward from my fingertips and shot toward Oryn’s face. At once, he lurched backward, and already his body shifted back into ahuman.
“No!” I retreated from the wild wolf scrambling onto his paws, facing me, unleashing asnarl.
Nero flew between us in a flash, snapping his teeth at the creature. The wolf boltedaway.
I collapsed against a tree and my legs wobbled from the dread in my veins. Nero sniffed at Oryn, who was on hands and knees, fur vanishing, his limbselongating.
“Sorry, Oryn,” Isaid.
Nero shook himself and already his snout withdrew, while his body grew in size. The sound of bones cracking coupled the lengthening of the spine as his curved bodystraightened.
I’d never seen a wolf transform. No one in Terra had or truly understood how they changed, but in witnessing the amazing event, I gawked at the beauty of how their bodies shape-shifted with suchease.
Gone were the wolves, replaced by two perfect specimens of men, climbing to their feet andnaked.
Oryn stood taller and wider than Nero, making me melt, but Nero’s boyish charm and his wink had the fire in my libido awakening. They were perfect in their own way. But how was I attracted to bothequally?
Fresh scratches and bite marks covered their arms and shoulders, yet nothing looked life-threatening.
Nero strode toward me, and my pulse skyrocketed. His hand glided across my back, drawing me against him. “Should have figured Oryn was looking out for you. Been searching for you all night. Had me worriedsick.”
I glanced up at him, the concern spiraling in his eyes. “You did that forme?”
“Little lamb, I’d scour the world to find you.” He held me tight. “And I adore this whole ‘going naked’ look. Suits you, sexygirl.”
I blushed and pressed up againsthim.
Oryn approached, and Nero clapped his friend on the shoulder before saying, “How’d you break out of your wolfform?”
“Sharlot has a magical touch.” He approached me, a hand sliding to my butt, and I met his gaze, the sexiness in hiseyes.
Nero looked at me, mouthing,“Sharlot,” then hesmirked.
I rolled my eyes and smiled rightback.
Heavens, was this happening? Me with two hunks? “So.” I swallowed past my thickening throat. “This thing… between us three.” I racked my brain for the right word, but nothing came to mind when I still wasn’t sure what to make of it myself, except I didn’t want to be apart from eitherman.
“We return to the cabin first.” Oryn’s deep tone returned, the authoritarian one where he tookcontrol.
“Of course, if I never confront an attacking wolf again, it will be the happiest day of my life,” Isaid.
We moved in unison, the men flanking me, fast-walking through the forest, my feet aching from the sharp rocks and twigs. But other emotions distracted me with the newfound excitement that two guys stared at me as if I were candy! Me! The girl who couldn’t get a date to the annual town dance, while Bee had eightsuitors.
But reality checked in about how I’d leave the Den, how I might lose my men, and how the priestess had probably set guards to watch my store. The earlier joy deflated, replaced with a rattling beneath my breastbone. What was I supposed todo?
Once we reached the cabin and Nero locked the door, we plonked down on chairs, me between the guys, staring at an empty table. I hugged myself and Oryn brought me a blanket, which I wore like a strapless dress, and that small modesty had me relaxing into myseat.
“We don’t have clothes on hand,” he said. “We don’t wear them, and I preferred you betternaked.”
I laughed. “This is perfect, thanks. Anyway, my touch didn’t work on that wild wolf,” I blurted out to avoid talking about the obvious elephant in the room—me having had sex with two wolf shifters in as many days and now we all sat together as if that was okay. Sure, Oryn said he was fine with it, but what aboutNero?
Oryn nodded and ran his fingers through his shoulder-length hair, worry crammed behind hisgaze.
I sighed. “My ability only works on you two.” I shifted in my seat, looking from one guy to theother.
“Well, this is a first for me on so many levels. And I don’t understand what I’m feeling, but…” How to put this? “I like you both.” This was the weirdest conversation ever and not one I’d ever imagined myselfhaving.
Nero laughed and caressed my thigh, sending tingles upward. “Why do you sound so worried? My wolf has claimed you. When you left, I couldn’t think of anything else but finding you, so I know we’re meant to be. Besides, I smelled Oryn on you the moment I found you in the forest… his wolf claimed you as well,right?”
