Epilogue

Gage I don’t know what I’ve done right to earn the privilege of her, but having Erin in our lives has changed everything for the better. Finding her in our apartment building was the best thing that could have happened to us. Wasting a year while stalking her and waiting on Hunter isn’t something I will dwell on, but it still rankles. Hunter says we wouldn’t have known enough to help her. I contend that if she was with us earlier, we would have figured it all out sooner, but that’s water under the bridge.

A Siberian Tiger as a mate was nothing I even considered. She is the best mate I could have imagined. She lets me cuddle and baby her whenever I want. Usually. She’s sassy and fresh and keeps us on our toes, but I can’t imagine how we endured our boring life before her. In the few months since she became ours, I’ve spanked and punished more than I ever have in my life partially because she loves the sensual spanking. The fact that she craves my hand marking her ass while I take her hard is as sexy as it gets.

But partially because she hadn’t learned yet that her men will allow her leeway, but not allow anything that could potentially cause her harm—like yesterday, when she climbed an eight-foot ladder to the vaulted ceiling then leaned too close to the edge of the second-floor railing, to change a light bulb. I still have nightmares over that little stunt. I hope her entire body vibrates whenever she looks at that lightbulb. It should. I punished every part I could come up with a punishment for.

In the pack and our business world, I was the heavy, the muscle, and if you were into the mafia, I’m the enforcer. In our home, I’m the teddy bear. Hunter complained I’m spoiling her, but we each have our own way. He set her up in business, and has bought her whatever she might desire. He forced her to go on runs, leave the house, come down to dinner, answer his questions and generally was the boss of her world. I don’t feel pushed into a second’s typical slot because I catered to her softer side.

We are her balance. She is ours. And if I needed to be, I’m still dominant, but I can bring out my loving side with her and it has helped to calm the more violent beast within. I’m the enforcer too often. At home, I’m a lover. Erin rarely pushed me too far. She damn near shoved Hunter off the nearest cliff on some days. I always spanked for naughty. He edged and did all types of pushing her buttons in reprisal. She loves it all. And we will love her until our dying breath.

Hunter Sometimes I have no idea what’s hit me. Erin has taken over my days and nights. She controls my life and doesn’t know how easily she has twisted me to do her bidding. Actually, I believe she knows quite well that she has taken my orderly existence and thrown it out the window. I expect to be complied with on every level. Everyone in my world does my bidding. Even Gage follows my orders if it comes down to it, but it rarely does. Everyone that is, except Erin.

We are partners in everything. The fact that there has to be one leader and I take that role naturally, is not saying Gage couldn’t be the alpha. It’s acknowledging he prefers the background tough guy everywhere else except at home where he only wants to be Erin’s daddy Dom. He has that more pliable side that until Erin, I never tapped, but after her, I have found bits and pieces that mold to her wishes. After days of holing up working alone, I have pulled her kicking and screaming into the world, but she rewarded me with her loving acceptance. Usually.

Yesterday I required her to take the day off from her twelve to fifteen-hour sessions of creating and she was spitting mad. “How am I supposed to keep up on everything if you make me stop. I can’t. Not now, Hunter.” Then came my ‘I’m not debating this’ voice and she responded with her ‘go away’ tone.

Game on, little Cub. I rarely discipline physically. That’s Gage’s gig. I don’t really like to spank asses in the way that Gage does, but I do love to spank pussies. And I could keep her on edge for days until Gage got tired of waiting his turn and then we met out more orgasms than she can cope with. That is my punishment. She called me devious. I preferred to believe I’m inventive.

I can’t believe what a rut Gage and I had gotten into, but when Erin came on the scene nothing stayed the same. We’ve come alive. Everything is more. We’ve changed the direction of our lives in every imaginable way and I would never go back to what we were. One of the more significant changes is that we decided not to stop any type of pregnancy. The pack needs more babies.

Erin has met her birth streak and she has run with them a couple of times. They are further away, but when we have cubs or pups, whichever they are, we need to introduce them to their relatives. It gives them more support in life. The fourth full moon is coming up since we have taken our girl as ours. She is likely pregnant even now, but she has yet to tell us. I think I’ll make a doctor’s appointment for her.

Tomorrow we are flying up to Lucas’ place. He has a resort in one of the back fjords south of us. He worked on a promotional campaign with Erin, his security upgrades with Gage, and the final hiring of employees to fill his beautiful fantasy world with me. We should name it soon. Erin has narrowed the possibilities down. I like Wonderland Illusion, but she rolled her eyes at me, and realizing her mistake, ran. My cub can’t hide forever. Looks like she goes to Lucas’ with a plug. Nice.

Erin I loved that little bit of ache that I woke up with nearly every morning. Okay, that isn’t exactly true. I sometimes woke up with my body screaming for mercy due to the run I’m forced to take the night before. Yeah, that wasn’t true either. I loved to race and hunt. I know now what frolicking really meant. I hated to come in, but then, because this was all still new to me, when I woke up, I hurt everywhere. The ache that comes from sex with my guys, that’s different. This morning, I had some twinges in both regions. My body parts and my pussy.

Stretching, I reached around me, but I knew I was the only one left in bed. It was the same most mornings. Gage got up at the butt crack of dawn nearly every day that he wasn’t pressing himself into me, stretching my entrance somewhere. I have found that these men could be very inventive when taking me. Rough, gentle, slow, fast, and every combination you could think of in between. Gage said we haven’t even touched the tip of the iceberg yet. I can’t wait to find out about the next new position.

I groan because today is the day that the guys and I go sign papers with his attorney. Life has changed. My world has grown broader and more restrictive in the same breath. Meeting those people in Hunter and Gage’s world has forced me to expand my horizons. When I was introduced to the pack, the elders were accepting and even eager to begin teaching me all manner of shifter world things. It seemed I was something special.

The younger ones, on the other hand, the unattached women mainly, avoided me. No, actually they hated me. But who could blame them? I have taken off the shifter market two of the most eligible bachelors they have. Hunter had actively recruited several new females because their young wolves would have left the pack if they couldn’t find a mate. Hunter wanted to keep them if he could, so a handful of the community went trolling. Gage’s word, not mine. I wasn’t happy my men were looking for women, but I trusted them. I also slept on my belly the night I openly challenged them while still out in a community gathering. They didn’t even wait until we got home. Not a mistake I’d make again.

About three months after my first introduction into the pack, I was approached by an especially angry trio of females, who had their hearts set on my men mating with a relative of theirs. They found that even though I was new, I was no pushover. Gage tried to jump in between us, but Hunter and two others held him back. I overheard their conversation.

“She has to establish her Alpha female status, or we will be dealing with this often. Stand down, Gage. We won’t let them hurt her and so long as it’s fair, we allow it.”

“Three against one? How is that fair?”

Hunter had laughed. “Siberian Tiger levels the playing field against three wolves. Besides, I gave her an incentive. I’d let her orgasm as much as she wanted for a week if she won. I’d edge her with no orgasm for a week if she didn’t.”

“Fuck.”

“Yep. That woman of ours loves to come. She’ll win.”

But I didn’t need incentive more than I already had. If I lost, women would forever challenge me to take my place not only in the pack, but with my men. I could never let down my guard. Pack rules state that if I won, fair and square, unless Hunter left the Alpha position and Gage didn’t take it, I couldn’t be challenged again.

The wiser member of our group had been preparing me for this possibility. In fact, Hunter had told me it was an eventuality, not an option. He was right, and I was ready. To win, it took a good strategy and a focus on smart attacks. The women relied on numbers, I relied on intelligence and method. I won. It took some days for my daddy Dom shifter to get over the incident even though he was proud of me. Hunter kept his bet.

Gone are the days when I could do what I wanted, which is to stay inside. I’m required to be at every meal one of the guys are at. I wasn’t a great cook and it wasn’t something I enjoyed, so since I don’t make the meal, I should be there to enjoy someone else’s work. I did love to bake on occasion and Crystal was generous with her kitchen. I don’t mind house cleaning, but Jonna told me she would make my life miserable if I took her job. I tried not to make a mess, but I don’t clean anything she might notice.

Today, the attorney wanted us to sign the wills both Hunter and Gage have had drawn up. I said I’d sign something that protected their assets and had to deal with Hunter who spent a whole day explaining how far we had blended our lives and bodies, and everything else. So not an issue any longer. Joey’s last will and testament gave his personal assets to his mother, but his professional assets to me. I’m trying to be a good steward of his talent and efforts.

What Hunter said some time ago, has shown itself to be true. While Gage played daddy to me on his whim, showing me his gentle nurturing side often, he was definitely the muscle in the group. He ran the security company with an iron fist. Anyone who knew Gage recognized he was a force to be reckoned with and showed due respect for that position. He was Hunter’s enforcer from bullies in the apartment buildings to dishonest businessmen. It was a position that was sometimes as sinister as it sounded. Gage was the ultimate threat of ‘wait until Daddy gets home’. I creamed whenever I think of it while trying to figure out how to avoid the retribution.

Finally, in business, my life has made an uptick again. I don’t do freelance work any longer. I own my own company under the umbrella of The Lupine Alaska Group, Inc. In this part of the world, it is thought to be named after the flower. There are those of us who appreciate what it really represents. I created a cartoon strip that continues Joey’s graphic novel series.

Finally, I also do the promotional graphics for the Group and for their sibling, Lucas who owns a resort. With the investment help of Hunter and Gage, he has been able to start expansions. I am working on bringing them customers. My days and evenings are full. Today, we are taking a helicopter to Lucas’ place as he shows us around.

I love my life now. Pretty good for a woman who spent half her time in a fantasy world. Now I’m living it. I have a surprise for my men at dinner tonight. Life is about to take on a whole new dimension. Felina and I can’t wait. (I can’t just call her my Cat, now can I?)
