The Dilemma

(Sirius’ Wolves 05)
by

Victoria Sue

Marcus has just become the only human ever to be Alpha of a werewolf pack and thwarted the plans of Anubis to destroy the goddess Sirius’ creation – the werewolves.

Now, Anubis has decided to focus his efforts instead on Marcus and his new pack, to try and destroy the pack from within. In order to do this, Anubis seeks the one thing Marcus wants above all else and when he finds it, will use that to get him to walk away from his lovers and the pack.

Unaware of the evil god’s plans, Marcus works together with Kellan and Ricoh, not only trying to help Nate recover from the vicious torture he has undergone at the hands of the terrorist group, The Winter Circle, but to also come to terms with leading a pack of over two thousand wolves.

Marcus soon will be faced with a dilemma, but will he give everything up for his mates and the pack or will the temptation Anubis offers him be too much for one human to refuse? Will Marcus put his wolves before himself or will he be tricked into leaving them behind forever?

Standard Excerpt

The Dilemma – excerpt 1

Nate opened his eyes slowly and looked down. Kellan blinked as they both seemed to shimmer for a few seconds and then gaped as he stared at the white wolf now standing shoulder to shoulder with a black one.

Nate had shifted. Not only had he shifted into a beautiful wolf, his wolf was black. Nate was an Alpha.

“Does that mean what I think it does?” Marcus said quietly.

“I’ve never seen his wolf,” Ricoh said, awe coloring his words.

Then in another second, Nate had shifted back, and that was their second surprise. He was fully clothed. Kellan realized there had been no torn clothes on the floor, and as far as he knew Darric was the only wolf with that ability.

Nate stood. The wolf, Chris, was still close enough so Nate could burrow his hands in the thick white fur.

Marcus took a step forward and Nate lifted his head — and they all gasped. All hesitancy, all trace of fear, all the remnants of pain that Nate seemed to carry with him constantly — it all vanished as the man took a step and Marcus opened his arms for Nate to step into them.

The white wolf shook himself, casually licked a paw, and headed for one of the smaller meeting rooms. Conner followed him with some jeans he had been carrying. In seconds Chris and Conner were walking over to Marcus, Chris fully shifted back and clothed. Nate and Marcus stood quietly holding each other.

Blaze spoke up. “Unless it’s essential for you all to be here would you please give your Alphas some privacy?”

In seconds everyone had disappeared except for both Alpha groups and Chris. Blaze drew some chairs together and sat down. Aden chuckled, his arms full with a sleeping baby. “Well, you don’t see that every day.”

“Look,” Marcus said quietly, holding one of Nate’s scarred hands. The skin was smooth. Injury free, no burn marks, no missing nails.

Aden stared in astonishment. “That’s incredible. Shifting heals, but it doesn’t remove scars.” Darric dropped a hand on his leg. “I should know,” Aden whispered.

Kellan swallowed, guilt immediately swamping him. Kellan had lured Aden back to their old pack the last time when he got injured again.

Aden lifted his head and stared at Kellan. Then he smiled, and Kellan felt the guilt ease. He was grateful. He wasn’t sure he deserved it, but he was grateful.

“I have to ask,” Blaze said when they were all sitting down. Marcus and Nate were side by side, but Kellan had drawn Ricoh to him. Of them all, Ricoh seemed the most shocked. “I understand you were thrown out of your pack as a child. Was it because you are an Alpha?”

Nate sat a little taller. “I’m not an Alpha,” he said hesitantly.

“I can assure you,” Darric interrupted, “your wolf is black. Alpha marked. Besides which, I can feel your energy.” He paused and assessed him. “That’s new, isn’t it?”

“New?” Marcus asked.

“My wolf is gray,” Nate said hesitantly. He looked at Chris who was sitting quietly with Conner. “Did you do that? I felt an incredible amount of power when I touched you.”

Chris put his head to one side and laughed nervously. “I don’t think so. I just remember thinking you seemed hurt and that I had to help you.”

“I felt the Alpha power. I can sense it in you,” Darric said.

Nate turned his head and gazed at Darric. “I’m sorry. I know those are words often said with little meaning, but I—”

Darric reached over and clasped Nate’s hand. “The gods knew what they were doing. I think everything happened as it should.” Darric smiled. “I think you are an Alpha for a reason, and I think the gods have a purpose for you.”

Kellan gazed at everyone’s awed faces and knew that Darric was right. Even he could feel the steady thrum of Alpha power coming from Nate. What did that mean for their future?

****

Marcus stared in awe. He wasn’t totally sure what was happening here. “Are you saying that because Nathaniel has a black wolf, he’s an Alpha, and that his wolf has changed color?”

“There are different types of Alphas, Marcus. My wolf is silver,” Darric said.

“Stephen’s is golden brown, as is mine,” Conner said.

Marcus frowned. “Then why do you say black means Alpha-marked if an Alpha can be any color?”

Darric smiled. “Alpha-marked also means marked by gods.” He gestured at Blaze. “Blaze’s wolf is black. It’s usually an indication of leadership as well.”

Marcus gazed at Nate. “What does that mean for you?” Did that mean he should be running the pack? But Nate never left their rooms. He looked like he had a newfound confidence, but he was still curled into Marcus’ side as if he needed protection.

Nate looked at a complete loss. Aden spoke up. “I am not completely sure but I would hazard a guess that Sirius has a specific job for you to do,” he said quietly.

Marcus nearly shook his head in complete disbelief, but then he knew all the other incredible things that had happened, Darric being alive, the baby that Aden was cuddling. If they had happened, why was it such a leap to believe Nate had a higher purpose of some sort?

Marcus thought hard. Even as the other Alphas stood and congratulated Nate and fussed over Chris, he let the conversation swirl around him and he knew. Kellan was a strong werewolf. Ricoh had gotten a strength of purpose planning the new school and helping the kids he loved.

And Nate — his fragile boy, the one who Marcus had never been able to leave for long, because he needed him so much … Nate was an Alpha werewolf. If he wasn’t about to run a pack then he was destined to play some important role. God touched.

Marcus eased his arm away from Nate as Nate laughed at something Darric said. At the end of the day, Marcus was fooling himself. Nate healing had just taken away his reason for being here, and he was very much afraid none of them needed him now.

Exclusive Excerpt

“You didn’t give me a third option,” Ricoh said.

Marcus’ eyes dimmed. “A third?” The question seemed painful, as if the answer was going to hurt.

“You asked was I here because of Nate, or because of the pack? What if it’s neither of those?”

Ricoh heard the hitch in Marcus’ breath barely as he started to withdraw his face from Ricoh’s hand. Ricoh sensed the wariness, the expected defeat, and it hurt his heart. As if this warrior had lost so many battles he had come to expect no other outcome.

Ricoh leaned forward, just catching the flash of surprise in those expressive eyes. “I chose you. I didn’t do it for Nate and I didn’t do it for the pack. I did it for me.”

Ricoh couldn’t have said which one of them moved first, but in a second he was held in strong, all-encompassing arms. The lips he had traced were fastened on his, were insistent on parting his. Eagerly. Captively. As if nothing was ever more important in his life than this taste of skin on skin.

Ricoh heard a moan. Had no idea from which one of them it had originated, but it belonged to him now. It vibrated in his throat and skittered down his spine. Warm hands roamed his back, his arms. Fingers threaded through his hair and curled to bring his head even closer to Marcus’ demanding lips.

The taste. Ricoh’s brain swam as Marcus’ taste exploded on his tongue. Hot, male. He felt the whimper in his throat but his mouth was too busy to articulate the sound. Ricoh arched as Marcus cupped the bulge in his pants, but Marcus’ other arm anchored his back so he couldn’t move away from those lips. It was as if Marcus was everywhere. Ricoh’s skin buzzed with every trace from those fingers. He reveled in the hardness of the chest he was being pressed against, was overwhelmed by the mouth that held his own.

Marcus spoke. Ricoh registered the deep, sexy voice as he released his lips, but arched his neck when Marcus didn’t stop his onslaught. He felt the blood rush to the surface on his throat as Marcus marked him. Marked him as his.

Marcus had kissed him so many times in the last few days, but this was truly the first time Ricoh’s body wasn’t being soothed by Marcus’ lips, and it wasn’t being comforted.

It was being possessed. Claimed, and owned. Ricoh’s Alpha was marking his territory. Ricoh wasn’t just being kissed. He was being consumed.

Ricoh registered the cooler air on his skin as his clothes were ripped away, and he gloried in each frantic sensation. Suddenly he was on his back and other hands stripped him too. Kellan’s eyes burned into his as he took his mouth, and he groaned as gentle lips became more ferocious as the wolf awoke.

Kellan’s wolf was feeding into his own. Teeth snarled and snapped in his mind. Furry bodies collided. Warm flanks smoothed, and hot tongues licked. Ricoh pressed to assert himself in the kiss, and Kellan’s wolf snarled and bit Ricoh’s muzzle until the wolf rolled and submitted. The human kiss gentled. Ricoh could scent the satisfaction in the room, scent the dominance, and with it the pleasure, the love, the protection. It was the way of the wolf.

Ricoh jerked in shock, pulling himself from his daze, as hot kisses exploded onto his groin — as Marcus nuzzled the side of his swollen, aching cock. So aware now. Pressure snaked around from his spine. His cock, heavy, engorged. Ricoh gave a desperate cry as Marcus suddenly bathed it in wet heat as his firm lips surrounded it. Desperate, not in protest, but as an articulation of urgent need, as if an avalanche were about to sweep him away. Ricoh felt another finger turn his chin and Ricoh surrendered in reluctance to shy, hesitant kisses from Nate that were more precious than gold.

Nate whimpered, but kept up his urgent kisses. Kellan’s hot breath dusted Ricoh’s nipple before he latched on and scraped deliciously with his teeth. Marcus tongued Ricoh’s shaft, the heat of his mouth quickly turning to pressure that coiled as Ricoh’s balls tightened. Ricoh broke off, ready to offer an urgent warning.

Ricoh had fucked before, and had been fucked. Aimless hook-ups just to get off. But nothing had prepared him for the onslaught of his mates.

Kellan tugged on Marcus’ arm, and Marcus lifted his head with a slurp. The sight of his own cock dropping from Marcus’ lips nearly had him shooting there and then.

“Get on your back,” Kellan urged Marcus. Kellan’s eyes burned into Ricoh’s. Ricoh blinked a little, trying to lift the haze of lust that had settled in the room and invaded his mind. He wanted, needed Marcus inside him like a physical ache, but Marcus couldn’t kneel. The pain of disappointment settled in his chest. He didn’t want to top, and was ashamed. Ashamed that he wanted what Marcus couldn’t give.

Marcus laid down on his back. Nate eagerly stripped him and Marcus threaded his fingers through Nate’s hair as he drew him closer as they kissed.

“Turn over and kneel,” Kellan growled, reaching for the lube. Kellan? Ricoh’s hole clenched and his knees wobbled with the thought. Kellan’s hand brushed sensuously up his spine, grounding Ricoh. His head hung. His balls tightened. He was going to explode. Kellan quickly lubed Ricoh’s entrance, as if his sense of urgency matched Ricoh’s. Then he reached over and touched Marcus’ stiff cock. Marcus groaned and broke off the onslaught from Nate’s mouth. His eyes lost their glaring focus as Kellan’s hand curved over the end of Marcus’ cock, and Marcus’ hips thrust to meet Kellan.

“Sit up,” Kellan ordered, and Ricoh instantly obeyed, his mind unable to wrap around what Kellan was doing.

Werewolf strength. Kellan put his hands under each of Ricoh’s thighs and tilted Ricoh back against his chest as he lifted him off the bed. In another second, Ricoh shuddered when he felt the first breach from Marcus’ cock as Kellan lowered him down on it.

“Fuck,” Ricoh shouted, as he felt the first ring of muscles give way. Nothing in his wildest dreams had prepared him for this. Kellan lowered him inch by tortuous inch. Just as Ricoh didn’t think he could take any more Kellan lifted him back and Marcus groaned and reached out to touch him, kissing Nate at the same time.

Ricoh’s orgasm started on the next downward slide. He could feel the tightening in the base of his cock. He wanted, needed, for it to not end but at the same time didn’t want to stop. He was fuller than he’d ever been in his life. Kellan surrounded him. Marcus filled him. Nate’s scent and touches kept him grounded when he was convinced he would fly away.

“Ricoh,” Marcus growled a warning, and Ricoh unable to stop if his life depended on it, cried out as Nate’s hand touched his cock once. Pleasure ricocheted up his cock. Ricoh put his head back and shouted. Intense, mind-numbing pleasure shot through every nerve ending in his body. His cries mixed with Marcus’ own. Ricoh panted. His head lolled backwards on Kellan’s chest. Kellan still supported him, but Marcus took his weight.

Kellan brushed a kiss on Ricoh’s head and tightened his hands under Kellan’s thighs. He lifted him, and Ricoh couldn’t help the gasp as Marcus’ cock slipped from his body.

Kellan lay him down, Ricoh’s mind still fuzzy, basking. Yeah, the glow in him was spreading to his toes. He heard a sound and turned his head. Marcus lay panting. Kellan picked Nate up and Nate eagerly sat astride him, their cocks touching. Ricoh watched as Kellan’s eyes deepened, Nate’s full of wonder. Kellan took both their cocks in his firm grasp, and it took just a few strokes before they both cried out, their cum bathing Kellan’s hand.

Ricoh stared at them both in wonder. Bliss was etched on their faces. He’d never seen Nate look so happy or so much at peace.

He felt a warm hand cup his face and he turned to Marcus. “You had it wrong, Ricoh,” Marcus said quietly.

Those deep brown eyes searched his face, and Marcus’ lips tilted in a smile to match Ricoh’s own. “I chose you.”

Yes, Ricoh thought. Yes, you did.

Review: Each book in the Sirius Wolves collection features pretty much the same couple although one or two is about another. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order.

There is nothing better than a good paranormal romance with two gorgeous men involved however in this one you have a four-way mating which is hot. I have found that this is probably the only series that has a darkness to it that doesn’t seem to take away from the story. Although it can be a bit confusing at certain parts, my attention was caught from the beginning.

Marcus is a human and the Alpha of the pack. He is mated to four men and let’s just say, it can be a bit strange. He had lost both his legs in an explosion and at times they hurt just to walk from the bathroom to the bedroom. Each of his mates has problems of their own. For instance, Nate had been kidnapped and tortured. He no longer wants his wolf, blaming him for everything. Marcus must help him heal from the emotional scars as well as from the physical ones.

Nate thinks he is broken and just wants to get rid of his wolf. However it would seem his wolf and the gods have other plans for Nate. Kellan and Ricoh each have other problems. However they all love their little wolf.

Then it would seem Anubis is back and is trying to find a way to stop the future from happening. He has a plan, and it is up to the wolves to stop him.

This is probably the only series that involves the same men but in a different way each time, that I can actually get into reading. Most books just seem to repeat but this one is unique. She gives each wolf their own personality. They have different strengths and weakness that don’t take away from the other.

Now in different paranormal worlds a man who has lost his legs would not be an Alpha, but this author has given us a different twist that I absolutely found perfect. I love this story and can’t wait to read the next book. I had fun with this and would definitely recommend it. This is one journey I don’t want to miss.
