Shifter Alpha Claim 1-6 Omnibus by Tamara Rose Blodgett, Marata Eros

Lycan because he says lie down and spread ʼem.”
    She punches clothes inside the suitcase.
    Arden gives me a helpless look.
    Okay, maybe this will work. I stride behind her, sliding my arms around her waist.
    I press my mouth to the soft spot where her neck meets her shoulder.
    Talyn struggles.
    I bite down and she moans, throwing her head back against my other shoulder.
    “Stop,” she says. The word is no but her body is throwing off breed me hormones like a freight train.
    “God, stop it,” Arden says.
    My eyes flick to his and sweat is beading on his face. “She's too ready. I can't hold back.”
    I narrow my eyes at him. I'm not sharing.
    Arden's gaze challenges me as Talyn rubs her ass cheeks against my raging erection. I give a painful shift of my prick and it settles in the crack of her ass.
    Not an improvement. The placement makes my control worse, not better.
    I growl against her shoulder, asserting my dominance as a male Alpha Lycan. It's a last resort in an effort to evoke compliance.
    Her animal should recognize mine. See that I'm here to help, to ease her.
    Arden moves in a blur to her front.
    Our eyes meet and I growl against her flesh.
    Talyn whimpers.
    She's mine. I feel her animal submit. I scent her readiness. Her degradation to Lycan is near. She's ripe for the taking.
    Though I need her assent.
    “Talyn, look at me.”
    I can't see her face but I know Talyn is responding to Arden's command when her chin dips from its perch on my shoulder.
    “Let us help you,” he whispers and his hands move to cup her breasts.
    She moans and our pelvises both arch toward her in response—toward her sex.
    I can't take my mouth from her shoulder until she gives consent. Which means I can't tell Arden to fuck off.
    The Mutable thinks he'll have a ménage à trois with my change?
    He's mistaken.
    “Yes,” she answers with a thready sigh.
    I shudder in relief, and my teeth release her flesh. Perfect indentations mar the smoothness of her upper shoulder, though I didn't break the skin.
    Stealthy creeping erupts from the hallway. Arden's eyes flash to the source.
    The shifters who I gave the slip have arrived.
    A languid Talyn hangs between us. Ready for transition. She would take any male in this state.
    With the Mutable's help, I put her there.
    A huge Lycan male crosses the threshold into her bedroom. “We'll take it from here, dogs.”
    He smiles, his many rows of teeth glow softly in the dark bedroom.
    I lay Talyn on the bed and loosen my hands, crouching low.
    They won't have her.
    I don't look behind me to see what Arden's doing, but I hear the crunch of bones shifting. Tendons snap wetly as they realign into a form of his choosing.
    He'll take me out of the equation while a mutual enemy threatens Talyn.
    But he doesn't. Arden charges the shifters.
    As a grizzly.
    I leap into the fray, fangs bared.
