Chapter 36

**Winter**



I shift and let Athena take control. She watches as Cole shifts. I can sense that she is waiting for Dante. As soon as he is out, she walks up and licks his face. Then she nuzzles him down his sides, flicking her tail into Dantes face. She connects to Dante. “Mm, you smell good. My human says you have never hunted with anyone.”

Dante responds to the link. “No, I haven’t. You smell good too. Do we have to hunt? I just want to play.”

It never occurred to me that Coles wolf would be so playful. Cole is so serious. It may just be because we are out here, it is just the two of us, we are out of the territory, and totally free.

Athena connects with Dante again. “Let's hunt. If you don’t like it then we can play chase.”

She sniffs the air and smells moose. Normally she does not hunt moose. They are much bigger than elk and deer. Dante is here though, so she decides that moose will be a great hunt this evening. She runs off and Dante follows. I’m sure he can smell what we are tracking too as we draw closer. Athena slows down and crouches. She wants Dante to follow her lead and to her surprise he does. He’s an alpha. Seeing him let Athena take the lead makes me happy.

Athena directs Dante that they will get on either side and then charge in together. As Dante is bigger, he will go for the throat, and she will take out the legs from behind. They set it up and Athena connects with Dante.

“Now!”

They charge, and it is perfectly coordinated. Dante has no problem making the kill as he rips its throat open with one bite. At the same time Athena tears threw its Achilles tendon, dropping it to the ground. It struggles to rise as blood continues to poor from the wound in its neck. Its struggling slows and then stops as the last of its life drips away.



**Cole**



Dante just took down a moose. I can't believe it. Any time I have let him hunt he has only gone for small game, foxes, rabbits, that kind of thing. He likes to be playful, and catching small game is something he enjoys playing at. After he has had fun, he always eats his prey because he doesn't want to be wasteful. I have never let him hunt big game. I have always been served three meals a day. I have never needed to hunt for food to eat.

Letting Dante attack a moose, not to mention doing it with Athena, was freeing. I could feel Dante’s joy as I let him be a wolf. I wasn’t just letting him play, but actually let him revel in his animal instincts. I let him take the reins. I have no control. It is a weird feeling. Maybe that is why Winter let Athena run every day. Perhaps she is so connected to Athena because she gives her time to do what she wants. She doesn’t fight to control her. How could I have been suppressing Dante like this.

Athena and Dante tear at the moose eating and getting excited. Once they are full Athena starts licking Dantes fur. She is cleaning his fur. Now Dante is licking her too. She nips at him and then starts running. Dante realizes she wants to be chased. They run for a while until Dante can no longer see her. He can only follow her sent. Then wham! Athena pounces rolling Dante to the ground. She wants to be mated. I never thought our wolfs would want to do that.

Earlier, when I realized how much he enjoys being in control, I decided I should let him do what he wants. It is not right for me to be suppressing his urges. So, I continue taking a back seat as he mounts Athena. While Dante and Athena are mating, I feel an overwhelming urge to be with winter again. Once they have finished, they settle down together. Athena is lying snuggled up next to Dante, and I shift. Athena looks at me. I pet her, and she let out a purr. She lifts her head to lick my face. It's nice to see that Athena cares for me as well as Dante. I know Winter loves me, and it feels good to know that her wolf likes me too.

I mind link to Athena and ask nicely “Can I have time with Winter?”

She bows her head to me as a sign of respect. Then she shifts.

“Winter, Athena bowed her head to me.”

“Well of course she did. You’re my mate. Why wouldn’t she?”

“I have never had a wolf bow to me when I'm in human form. They only bow to Dante.”

She chuckles. “Your pack is weird.”

She pushes up next to me. And I wrap my arms around her.



**Winter**



Athena is so content. She really loves Dante. She is ecstatic that she has finally had time with him.

Cole wraps his arms around me, and I can feel his hard abs against my smooth belly. His large arms are engulfing me. I wrap my legs around his waist, and he grabs my ass. He pushes me up against a tree as he kisses me. I can feel him getting large as he is rubbing up against my center. I want him in me. I can feel his heat all over me.

He lifts me higher and then lowers me down. His stiff cock slips inside me and he holds me as I bounce on him. My back is getting scraped up by the bark, but I don’t care. Cole is inside me. He bites into one of my breasts and then the other as I dig my nails into his back. He bites and the kiss all over my neck and chest.

As he is biting, I am overwhelmed with pure unadulterated lust. Every new bite is sending waves of pleasure threw me. I want him to feel this too. I bite his shoulder, and I can feel his excitement as he tenses up. I didn’t know I could feel this way. I am so enraptured with pleasure I don’t even know how we have gotten to the ground, and I am straddling him.

I continued to bounce digging my nails into his arms. I cannot help screaming his name, and he continues giving me pleasure bites on my skin. I finally cum and he finishes deep inside me. I rest on his chest for a moment and then I ask “fire?” He agrees and says he will make one. We spoon by the fire for a long time and fall asleep. I don’t know how long we slept.

As I open my eyes, I can see the sun in the middle of the sky. Cole is still asleep. We need breakfast, so I shift. Athena catches two rabbits and brings them back to where Cole is still sleeping. She nudges him with her nose. He wakes and pets her. She purrs and turns her head to show him the rabbit she brought him. Cole shifts, letting Dante eat Athena’s kill. Dante mind links.

“It's late in the day. How long have we been gone?”

“I don’t know. I suppose we should get back. The pack will be missing their Alpha.”

After we eat, we run back to Red Dawn.
