know. I smelled you at the window. I’m sure Haig did, too.”
“So why didn’t you turn around and yell at me for spying on the two of you?” Audric brushed his thumb over Kern’s nipple, delighting in the way it hardened under his touch.
Kern’s hand found Audric’s hole and began circling the tender skin. “That was my time with Haig. Besides, it didn’t bother me that you heard what I said.”
Audric moved his ass enough to impale himself on Kern’s finger. “There’s only one thing wrong with your plan.”
Kern removed his finger and reached for the lube. After a quick slick to three digits, he sank them deep into Audric’s ass. “What’s that?”
“There’s no need for me to travel with you. I can will myself there if you need me.” Audric moaned as Kern brushed across his prostate. “I feel safe here.”
“You’ll be safe wherever I am. I’ll never let anyone hurt you.”

From outside the cottage, Haig watched as Audric rode Kern’s cock with enthusiasm. Haig knew he’d witness the two men fucking eventually, so he decided it might be more comfortable watching them from afar.
When Kern lifted Audric off his cock and high enough to deep throat the smaller man’s bobbing erection, Haig’s dick began to take notice. He couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like to fuck a man light enough to manipulate in such a way.
Damn. Haig reached down and gave his cock a few tugs. He was surprised to find the sight more erotic than hurtful. It only took him a moment to figure out why. Although the two men were fucking again, Haig didn’t see love in Kern’s eyes. The mating frenzy Kern currently experienced had absolutely nothing to do with an emotional connection. It was purely physical, a need Kern could do little about. It was the way weres were created.
That realisation, more than anything, helped put Haig’s mind at ease. Sure Kern needed to fuck Audric , but he still needed Haig to love. The least he could do as a lover, mate and friend to Kern was support him while he suffered through his current illness, and that was exactly what the fever was. Change was actually taking place inside Kern’s body. Kern was taking in information and training his brain to track, protect and eventually love his mate.
Haig gave his cock another pull. It was easy to forget most weres weren’t in love when they mated. In Haig’s case, he’d loved Kern unconditionally before they’d mated, but Kern didn’t have that connection to Audric . Yet. That was the only part that still bothered Haig. Until Kern actually fell in love with Audric , Haig’s position in his mate’s life would be solid. It would be what came after that worried him.
As he watched, Audric’s cock erupted, spraying cum onto Kern’s stomach and chest. Haig had made love to Kern enough to know it would only take a few more strokes for Kern to lose his control. It was the smell of cum that seemed to set Kern off every time.
Just as Haig had predicted, Kern howled Audric’s name. Haig glanced over his shoulder, wondering who else had heard his mate’s climax. As close as they were to the full moon, he doubted the wolves who weren’t working were even around. Shit. That reminded him.
Haig strode to the front of the cottage and walked into the living room. Kern and Audric were cuddled together with Kern’s cock still buried in Audric’s ass. Haig tried not to draw attention to his own erection as he sat in the chair beside the couch. He waited several moments, but eventually Kern opened his eyes.
“We need to prepare Audric in case he shifts,” Haig informed his mate.
Audric’s tongue began to explore the prominent vein of Kern’s neck. “I won’t,” he said between licks.
“How do you know that? Neo’s the one who told me to watch you for signs.” Haig didn’t like the way Audric began sucking on Kern’s neck. The thought of his mate being used as a blood donor pushed things too far. “Don’t
