“You will be given a special reward for your service, Erik Trebold.” He laughed and laughed, the sound more annoying than the first time.
In his hand he held a syringe, needle glimmering in the fluorescent lighting. “I don’t want a damn reward,” I scoffed, straining against the steel shackles, chained like a mother fucking beast. The rattling sounds filtered into the dense space, the stench filling my mouth with bile. I let out an intense growl, my muscles bulging from the exertion.
“Do I need to further restrain you, Mr. Trebold, or will you be able to control your behavior?”
I snapped at him, grinding my teeth together. For once, he seemed terrified.
The hard cracking of the whip against my naked back drove me forward. I grunted, refusing to give the guards that satisfaction of crying out in pain. I was fed up with the tests and examinations. The harsh reality was that my world was the same as being in prison, the locked cage only larger, the food tastier.
“You have one last chance, Mr. Trebold. There won’t be another.” The doctor grimaced, his skin paling, but I would never forget the evil in his eyes.
“Are you all right?” Brexin asked, breaking the spell.
“Perfectly fine,” I barked, determined to block out the wretched memory as well as the hatred spewed from the depths of the room as I walked forward. There was no place of peace for a man like me. All I could concentrate on was the beauty standing in front of me.
Reaching out, she grasped both my hands, the same quiver in her lower lip jutting into my system, cutting a jagged slice in my heart.
We were still in danger, perhaps more so than before.
Could I manage to keep her safe? My mind jerked back to yet another damning vision, one from earlier. Why the fuck was I experiencing them now?
“You have a decision to make, Erik, and I don’t have much time. What is your decision?”
The words cut through me like a bloody blade, a reminder that I had no choice if I wanted to live. I’d been allowed a feast in terms of what I was used to, meats and cheeses, fresh fruit and bread, but I hadn’t been able to stomach any of it. I was sick. Sick at heart. Sick in my body. Sick in my mind.
I was still the murderous creature they’d dragged from the streets, tossed away like an animal. There was no recourse unless I signed, unless I agreed. Snarling, I glared at the man, my head throbbing and my eyes still unfocused, more exhausted than I’d ever been. “Give me a pen.”
“Excellent. After this, your new life begins. Just imagine being able to mate.”
Mate... The single word was a reminder that this entire game had been well planned. The memory was fresh, as if the event had occurred only yesterday. I glared at Steen, refusing to process what was being forced upon me. I had no choice to make, just like I hadn’t months before. I was simply a man tossed to the wolves. This time, the wolves were in predator’s clothing.
I laughed, the sound booming into the great hall.
“What’s wrong?” Cassia whispered, inching closer.
“Not a damn thing.” My answer was for Steen’s benefit.
“Go. Enjoy your first night together. Tomorrow, we will plan for a battle.” Steen held his smile, more practiced than I’d seen before. Hiding. Waiting.
And he would be watching.
Several armed guards led us through a series of corridors and to a long, dark hallway, a single room at the end. They said nothing, merely opening the door and allowing us inside. I knew they would stand guard all night, making certain we followed through with our duties. And once again, I would play the part, acting as required.
But tomorrow was another day.

Cassia
Mated to three, two who’d once been very human and one true alien. Beast. Monster. All the names that I’d heard them called rushed into the back of my mind. I had no sense of reality, no way of understanding the ramifications of what I’d just been forced into. I was now their property, required to follow their rules, playing the obedient little female human. Nothing made any sense any longer.
I’d seen Erik’s twisted face, the enraged expression just seconds before we were led out of the great hall. He wasn’t just worried about our future. He was prepared to perfect his desired level of revenge. What in the hell had occurred in a few short hours?
I grabbed onto the last memory before boarding the shuttle, the very last time I walked out of my apartment, never knowing it was the last time. Another gift had been sent, the most beautiful roses, yet another forbidden item in the world of the endangered humans.
From my caretaker, and the salutation on the card? His hope for the future.
I shuddered. Nothing made any sense, but I’d come to accept that I would be mated. The thought was both shameful as well as stimulating. I’d remained on fire since the punishment, even though whatever lotion the Galerian women applied had lessened the pain to a mild irritation. But I knew I was in for another spanking.
At least I cared for Erik, Brexin as well, my body hungering for both. Could I learn to care for David?
“What... What happens now?” I finally asked. I was shocked at the sight of David. He’d changed in only a few days, virile and full of life. Whatever I imagined happening to the hybrids, I was obviously wrong. He was healthy. He was strong.
He was magnificent.
My mouth watered, the reaction involuntary, but I was aroused by the very thought of him. Of them.
Inhaling, even the scent of all three was more intoxicating that I could imagine. Fully aroused, I was able to gather the scent of my pussy, wet and aching. I walked closer to David, fearful of touching him, as if the man would break. No, he was far too rugged.
His hair was longer, the coloration kissed by the very gods of sunshine. His massive chest and rippled pecs almost bursting through the simple uniform. His arms and legs were sculpted from the finest stone, the proportions exquisite. The effects of the transformation were nothing like I expected. Then again, I’d never seen another.
He was gorgeous, roguish in the same kind of Viking manner as Erik, taking my breath away. I gazed from one to the other, my gaze settling on Erik. The full-blown electricity was undeniable. There could never be the same kind of connection as I had with him, but at least I believed they would all protect and care for me no matter the circumstances.
Or the danger.
“We taste our little mate. Then...” Brexin’s words trailed off, a twinkle in his eye. Walking closer, he allowed his hand to trail down from my cheek to my neck, instantly giving me shivers.
“Discipline before we mate,” David said, his voice alluring yet gravelly. “She must learn obedience.”
Erik twisted his head in the man’s direction. “You’ve spent time learning customs, my friend.”
“We are required to make certain she is well behaved.” David’s words seemed stilted, but his eyes raked over me, devouring me in the same fashion as I’d seen the others do. He inched closer, inhaling. “You are spectacular.”
“I was just disciplined. Isn’t that enough?” As usual, my tone was demanding.
Erik lifted a single eyebrow. “You were punished for escaping your room.”
“You mean my glorified cell.” I bit my cheek after I said the words.
“Why did you try to escape?” David asked as he studied my reaction, his pinched expression full of confusion.
“To look for you and the other hybrids.”
David gave a nod of understanding. “They are fine, Cassia. Why did you think otherwise?”
“How many are there? What can you tell me about them? Are they safe, not locked away like animals? Are they being cared for? Are they sick?” I peppered him with questions.
“Whoa, little human.” Brexin laughed. “Breathe.”
“I’m worried, Brexin. If you’d seen what David looked like before, you’d understand. He was sick. I don’t know every aspect of the transformation requirements, only a portion since the tests I performed were for strengthening human DNA only. This is... entirely different.” I knew my retort was being weighed carefully by Erik.
“Wait a minute. You’re also a scientist?” Brexin demanded.
“Trust me, very low level. I was not privy to this blasphemous decision. I would have refused. I need to see them, perform some tests. You must have some kind of medical equipment in this glorified camp.” I shivered as the three men looked at each other. Were they deciding some horrible fate?
“Of course we do, Cassia.” Brexin turned his attention to the others. “Her work from before could prove to be vital,” he said, his voice faltering but I noticed the clear acknowledgement from Erik. They were hiding some additional wretched aspect.
“I’m right here and happy to explain my work,” I countered.
“Not now. Later.” Erik’s gruff voice floated between all of us. The alpha had been chosen.
“I know, discipline then mating. I’m frightened. I’m not certain that matters,” I muttered, folding my arms over my chest.
“You have no reason to be, Cassia. We will do what’s necessary for all of us, including the hybrids. We are now as one,” Erik stated in an authoritative manner. “You belong to us.”
Primitive but powerful words.
Still, whether or not I accepted my place no longer mattered. I was now their property. I closed my eyes as all three men caressed, starting from my face to my neck, moving ever so slowly down to my breasts. Two hands cupped and squeezed, while two others moved down to my bottom, swatting playfully. The final two slid to my legs, tickling the area in between. I was breathless, electrified from the dazzling sensations shifting along my spine.
“She is beautiful,” Brexin stated in a husky voice.
“She is ours,” David added, lowering his head until he pressed his lips against my neck.
“She is mine,” Erik growled, dragging my hand to his groin. The feel of his massive, throbbing cock pressing savagely against my fingers left me panting, my nipples fully erect.
“Ours, brother. Ours,” Brexin corrected. Tugging roughly on the bodice of my dress, his fingers found my swollen nipple. He pinched the already hardened bud between his fingers, a long breath erupting from his throat. “A damn sweet treat. I cannot wait to taste you.”
I was almost shocked at the adoration in his eyes. My heart fluttered, my pussy clenching.
Erik kept his hand over mine, forcing me to stroke his shaft, moving up and down. I heard his whispered words as he leaned over, nipping my earlobe. “You will always be mine first.”
“Mmmm...” There was no shame in wanting all three, or so I allowed myself to believe.
David licked a series of circles on my heated skin, taking his time before moving his open mouth to my lips. The first kiss was gentle, our lips moving together in a perfect dance. He darted his tongue inside, as if forbidden to taste until the time was right.
My body responded, forever betraying me, desire crawling up from my toes into my aching pussy. I was so wet, hot in a manner I’d never been before. This was so much better than the cave. They would take me. They would use me.
They would fuck me.
And there was no doubt I’d beg for more.
My tongue entwined with David’s, the kiss becoming a passionate roar. He took my other hand, placing my fingers directly on his swollen cock. I was thrown into a crazed state of bliss, wanting nothing more than to succumb to all three glorious warriors. My men. The strong Vikings who would try to capture my very soul.
Brexin moved away first and in my haze of lust, I noticed he was licking his fingers, his eyes glassy from his own raging desire. “We should have that drink now.”
David broke the kiss, biting down on my lower lip, snarling as any beast would do. When he pulled back, his eyes were no longer human, a predator of the night. I was going to be consumed, taken brutally, and I suddenly wanted nothing so desperately.
Why was there no shame in what was about to occur, no fear? Was the mating something I’d already succumbed to, accepting the Galerian way?
Erik pulled my hand to his lips, kissing my palm. I noticed his eyes never left David as the man walked toward the oversized bed.
“What we have in store for you, our sweet little human,” Brexin said. The husky tone was filled with sexual innuendo, creating another flutter in my pussy. “Spanked. Licked. Sucked. Fucked. I think that sounds about right. Don’t you, brothers?”
Erik’s only answer was an animalistic snarl erupting from the very depths of his being. He was the man who would devour me first, taking my asshole as he’d done before.
“Possessive,” David muttered.
“And he has a right to be,” Brexin retorted.
“We all do,” Erik admitted. He gathered me into his arms, fisting and yanking my hair, leaving my neck fully exposed. The growl was synonymous with a hunting beast, so deep and dark that I was left breathless.
I closed my eyes, clinging to his arms as he leaned me over, his hot breath sliding over my skin. Goosebumps popped as he slathered me with licks. He was so strong, powerful in every manner and I’d fallen madly in lust with this man.
“Allow us to see our prize,” David commented, his thudding boots matching the thumping of my heart.
“Yes, please,” Brexin added.
Erik bit my neck, his teeth bearing down. The Viking was marking me, the imprint a warning to anyone outside of our mated group. He would never allow anyone to fuck with us. He eased me upright, his upper lip curling into a playful sneer. “Undress.”
There was no choice, for he was the alpha.
Biting my lip, I lowered first one sleeve then the other, gently tugging the soft material past my hips, gravity taking the rest. To see the lurid gaze of three magnificent beasts, their extreme hunger evident by the glassiness in their eyes was a tingling aphrodisiac. I was so wet, juice trickling down my inner thighs.
All three surrounded me, moving in a tribal-like circle, inhaling as they made barbaric sounds. Fingers swirled and tickled once again, hands removing the bobble surrounding my neck. As the pin was yanked from my hair, strands falling against my lower back, I swished my head back and forth. Their husky groans were my reward.
“You will be disciplined every day,” David stated.
“You will be punished for any infraction,” Brexin added.
“You will be required to fulfill our desires,” Erik whispered.
Their words melded together in my mind, bold statements from thee men who owned me. “Yes.”
“I can see she needs to learn some manners,” Brexin said playfully.
David tweaked my nipple until I moaned. “Very much so.”
There was no more talking as Erik grabbed my arm, pulling me closer to the bed. He thumped down on the edge, yanking me over his lap. “This is only the beginning of your training, but we will go easy on you tonight. Still, you need to learn respect for all of us now.”
Easy. I had no belief the man even knew what that word meant. I’d seen a shift in him even in the limited time we’d been together. He was much stronger, faster, and in my mind, aggressively primal.
However, the first few smacks of his hand, moving from one ass cheek to the other, were surprisingly gentle. The sting was marginal at best, even with my already bruised bottom. He continued, moving from one side to the other. The only effect was an increase in my desire, every part of me fully aroused. Erik had that effect on me, keeping me wet and hot from the slightest touch.
Two more were harder, the harsh slaps making me jump.
Four more were issued, this time pain rushing up the back of my legs.
“Oohh!” I struggled, throwing my hand back.
“None of that or this will turn into punishment.” Erik’s tone was demanding.
As he continued, one coming after the other, the pain intensified but everything shifted into more desire, unbridled hunger.
I wiggled, undulating my hips and digging my swollen pussy against his legs. There would be a stain on his pants, my scent covering him, and the thought was electrifying.
“You seem to be enjoying yourself,” Erik breathed. He stopped the spanking, caressing both cheeks and my lower back.
“Not enough,” I whispered, grinding my hips again.
“Allow me to try,” David stated and within seconds, I was over his lap, his hand smacking in fervent actions. The loud slapping sound was in direct correlation to the strength of his hand.
The spanking now hurt like a son of a bitch.
I moaned, kicking out my legs until he threw his over mine. “None of that, sweetheart.” David laughed after issuing the words, as if he’d determined his level of control.
I disobeyed as I always did, tossing my arm until the smacks made my eyes water, tears forming. “I’ll be good!”
“Yes, you will,” David growled.
I lost count at ten, taking gulping breaths. I didn’t bother struggling when I was transferred to Brexin. His cock was just as rock hard as the others, pushing brutally against his pants and into my stomach. I longed to have his thick cock in my mouth, taking every drop of his sweet cum. The thought of sucking all three made me cease my bratty actions, preferring to get the round of discipline over with.
One. Two. Three. Four.
His smacks were as harsh and as rapid fire as the others, only his hand was larger, covering more area. The heat from my bottom moved into my upper thighs and directly into my pussy. There was no way I could be any wetter, could crave anything more than I did at this moment.
“I think a little time in the corner will do her some good. To reflect,” Brexin said in a casual manner.
I was aware of being eased off his lap, led to the far reaches of the room.
“Now, be a good girl and stay right there,” Brexin breathed then licked from my ear to my cheek, patting my ass.
I was mortified at being treated this way, wanting nothing more than to snap at them that back home I was someone of importance. It struck me that I didn’t have a home to return to. I heard them talking, knew they were discussing the hybrids, but was unable to decipher what they were saying.
At least I knew they were alive. The thought was comforting.
