Three for Thorn

"Look at that boys. Full fucking house, aces over jacks." The entire tables groans out with their dismay, I scrape in my winnings off of the table with a big fat grin across my face. "I win again!" I gloat.

Me, Sun, Sin, and all of our Betas along with Thorns Gamma Slaughter have been playing five card stud for close to three hours now and my luck has absolutely been outstanding tonight.

To be honest that's the way it has been for a while now. I've been one lucky bastard lately.

After Slaughters introduction into our pack things have changed around us here for better. There hasn't been a lot of drama like there use to be and I'm so damn thankful for that.

Which in all fairness does worrying me slightly. I keep waiting for an unsuspecting bomb to drop down out of the clear blue sky to end up destroying everything that has been good for us but thankfully nothing untoward has even remotely happened yet.

What can I say I absolutely love the fact that life has been pretty damn good for us all.

Thorn has blossomed into becoming a wonderful Luna for our pack, like I knew she always would.

Her self resistance and reliance has made our pack to become the number one pack ever known in these parts.

After Curtis's demise she made an actual miracle happen. She went to his pack and somehow ended up being able to combine our two packs both together.

Since we were his only living relatives, so to speak, it made the transition so much easier for us all and Thorn managed to make it all somehow happen.

She is indeed our little miracle.

"I call." Trace grumbles, I recognize all of his tells. He gives them away so easily. With just a twitch of his brow I know that he's definitely bluffing.

Looking down at the cards in my hand I remain emotionless on the outside but on the inside my adrenaline is pumping fast and hard. I'm luckily holding four beautiful tens and Jack of hearts.

It was no surprise to everyone at the table that I won another hand. Hearing their groans and grumblings about my winnings, I just take in the money to my pot and smirk at all of them.

"Guess I'm lucky tonight." I nonchalantly comment causing even more grumbling from all of them.

"I think he's cheating guys, what do you think?" Sunny accuses me while pouting down at his meager dwindling pot beside him.

"Check his damn sleeves for extra cards because no one is this damn lucky." Sin grouses while throwing his cards down on the table.

"Hey I can't help it if you guys suck." I snidely remark as I start shuffling the deck of cards to deal them all out.

"I think the only one sucking around here is your mate." Pan haughtily indulges glowering right over at me while taking a swig of his beer. The entire table suddenly bursts out in laughter.

"You're just fucking jealous Pan because she can suck better than a damn vacuum cleaner." Sin pipes in elbowing Pan right in his ribs. Pan fakes hurt by bending over while grabbing his side.

"Hey my mate can suck just as good as a vacuum cleaner too." Pan deflects while scowling heavily over at Sin. Making everyone of us groan at his subtle hint.

"Can we not bring our mates into this guys? Besides mine is way better than any of you guys mates are." Flex admonished with a sly smirk.

Flex met his mate a few years back now. She and him make the oddest couple to me. Where Flex is down to earth and humble his mate is the total opposite of him.

Raquel is two inches taller than him and she preferably thinks her shit doesn't stink. Walking around the pack grounds thinking that she's some damn movie star or something to that effect.

Don't get me wrong she is indeed beautiful but there in lies the problem. She's beautiful and she definitely knows she is.

So far, lucky us, even though she thinks she is better than most of the people around her she hasn't caused any unforeseen problems.

Thorn somehow seems to tolerate her condescending ass but I truthfully can't stand her but Flex seems to love her ass so I'll give her the benefit of my doubt until proven otherwise.

"Stop bragging you guys. Not all of us are lucky to find their damn mate." Trace murmurs while looking down at his cards.

Poor Trace use to have a mate not long ago but he lost him in a shocking home fire. Omke was a great man and is dearly missed by everyone especially by Trace. It took years of struggle, heartache, and pain but now Trace is finally starting to come out of his deep depression with the hopes of him maybe being able to find his second chance mate now and I truly hope he does.

"You will find your mate just be patient man." Sunny tries to placate him. Trace just offers Sunny a half hearted smile but you can still see the sadness captured in his forlorn eyes.

"Look guys I don't know why all of you seem to think your mates are the best when you all know that I'm the one who has the best by far. My baby can top them all." Slaughter brags deviously leaning back in his chair with a broad smile on his face.

I shake my head vigorously at the numbskull.

"Don't look at me like that Sin. You and I know for a fact that my mate is better. Hell, she is the only one of us that can brag about being with your mate also." And there we have it folks.

Every since Slaughter and Kipper have joined our pack Slaughter takes every opportunity in front him that he gets to always remind of us his mates and our mate coupling.

"Shut the hell up Slaughter! One of these days I'm going to rip that damn vulgar ass tongue of yours right out of your fucking perverted mouth!" Sin professes with a stern glare directed over at Slaughter.

Slaughter audibly gasp loudly watching Sin with a very honed in cautious look.

"Why are you being so viscous Sin? I'm sure Slaughter didn't mean anything by it." Thorn says suddenly as she waltzes gracefully into the dining room, casting one of her beautiful smiles down at Sin.

"Come here baby." Sin urges while grabbing ahold of her delicate wrist to bring her down to him to sit upon his lap. Thorn giggles as she settles over on top of him, then she reflectively wraps her arms around his neck locking him in.

My eyes stayed glued on my striking Princess seated upon Sins lap. Her beautiful face has a mesmerizing glow to it. I can't believe how much I'm in love with this woman.

My eyes suddenly drop down to her swollen belly. Realizing that it won't be very longer until we all have another pup of ours running around here causing trouble and mayhem again very soon.

Dropping my cards on the table I reach across over to her while rubbing my hand across her protruding stomach I can't help but to broaden my smile.

"Where's Harley?" I question.

Harley is our oldest daughter. She is finally turning eighteen tonight, actually here in just a short while now.

We have been watching the clock steadily waiting patiently for the midnight hour to appear.

Then we will all go to the backyard for our sweet daughters first shift. She is so damn excited about it and apparently she's not the only one, we have all been anxiously staring at the clock with hidden anticipation for the upcoming event.

"She's getting ready. She's so nervous, poor child. She has been pacing the floor nonstop for close to an hour. All she seems to be thinking about is finally meeting her mate. Can you believe it? Our daughter could actually meet her mate tonight." Thorn exclaims with her own excitement flourishing throughout her.

Me and my brothers just grunt out in disapproval.

Whoever her mate may end up being better make damn sure he treats my little princess right or else.

"I don't want to talk about it." I grumble leaning back in my chair as I fold my arms across my chest basically pouting now.

My little princess, to me, is far too young to even be thinking about men. The only men in her life she should be thinking about are her daddies.

"Oh, Slay she is a grown woman now. You are going to have to let her grow up. If you're this bad with her how are you going to act when Davina and Dalia shift?" She ask as she climbs up off of Sins lap to come over to mine.

She sits down on my lap sideways, I wrap my arms around her while she tilts her head to the side just observing me with pure unconditional love shadowed in her beautiful cove blue eyes right at me.

I muzzle my head down on her shoulder inhaling her sweet intoxicating aroma trying to settle down my raging thoughts about our daughters.

"Davina and Dalia are unfortunately looking forward to it but at least we have another year before we have to deal with it." Sunny states while dealing out another round of cards.

"Well look at this way guys. You don't have to worry about any of this with Stax." Flex pipes in, I angle my head up at him thinking about our over hyper sexual son.

Stax is remarkably just like Sin use to be, a damn sex fiend with only one thing on his damn mind. Damn horny teenager.

At fifteen he sure has already gone through a list of women like that were fucking candy.

That's exactly how he ended up with the name Stax. His real name is Harlen but he hates it. When he was only five the damn boy starting noticing the opposite sex right away. He piles them up one after another without any regard for their feelings whatsoever, hence the nickname Stax.

But he's twin brother, Hank, better known to all of us as by his nickname Shark, simply because of his tenacity for anything related to blood, is totally different.

He's fascinated with it. I only hope that in the future he may become a doctor or something like that because otherwise he may end up going the other route like his mom is so concerned about: a fucking serial killer or something in that area of unsociable expertise.

I grimace just thinking about it.

"Yes Stax doesn't give a damn about a mate he just wants them all." Pan laughs while I grunt.

"I don't know about Shark though I don't think his ever really mentioned anything about wanting a mate?" Trace adds on with a perplexed look plastered on his face.

I know exactly what the asshole is thinking about and I fucking hate it. Everyone seems to think that Shark is our strangest kid out of all of them.

I love my children all equally, I don't love one more than I do the other but I desperately fucking hate the way other thinks about my precarious son.

"Shark wants a mate but he has better things on his mind right now." I convey to him with a developing sour taste appearing in my mouth.

Thorn peers up at me with a worried look on her face. Every time someone mentions something about Shark she always seems to get that certain look.

She's afraid that he is going to end up being just like her fucking worthless father but I always assure her that he is definitely not, even remotely, going to be like him at all.

I hug her a little tighter up against me wanting desperately to remove that worried look right off of her beautiful face.

"Well there is one that we don't have to worry about and that's Ridge. That boy is something else. I can't believe how damn smart he actually is." Trace affirms proudly.

Ridge is our other son, the youngest for right now until our next one is born.

He's only ten right now but Trace is absolutely right about him the boy is sharp as damn tack. His IQ is off of the fucking charts. Thorn says it's because he takes after Fier her brother. Fier has, as Thorn says, always has been remarkably brilliant.

He's fascinated with chemicals and substances, I haven't got a damn clue about what he's talking about half of the time but he definitely makes us all proud.

Glancing down at Thorns stomach, I'm overwhelmed with happiness, yes our family has our ups and downs but I think it's all absolutely perfect and I wouldn't trade any of it for the world.

She's having another girl this time. We have already picked out her name, soon I will be able to meet my other little princess, Arribella, making our family unit complete.

"Of course he's smart, he takes after his daddy." Sunny boast proudly.

We actually never wanted to know the paternity of any of our kids but you can honestly tell whose is whose just by their looks and actions.

The pack doc told me each time though whose child was whose. Not that it ever really mattered to me but he only did it in case of any unforeseen emergencies.

Harley is mine, along with Davina and Dalia. Stax and Shark are Sins. Ridge is Sunny's just like he boasted about but he doesn't actually know that.

Arribella is Sunny's also but to all of us they are all of ours and that's the way it shall always remain.

"I think he looks more like me shithead!" Sin attests, I crack a smile at that.

They always argue about this stupid ass shit every time it's brought up. Sin seems to think that his sperm is somehow more magically powerful than mine or Suns. Claiming that every single one of our wonderful kids is definitely his.

"Now, now boys they are all of yours. But I promise you this after this one pops out we are completely done." Thorn proclaims as she leans her head down on my chest. I rub my hand along her back lovingly.

Thorn refuses to have any more children. Establishing very loudly to all three of us that her baby factory machine is closing down for business.

We all hate it though, we at least, want just one more and if any of us has our way with it we will definitely get it.

She said the same exact thing before she got pregnant with this one and look where that got her. Knocked up yet again.

No matter how much she complains about it we all always seem to come up winning in the end.

I think it's because we are just too damn irresistible for her to resist.

"Mooooom! It's almost time." Our daughter Harley comes crashing through the dining room door suddenly, whining out dramatically.

Thorn raises her head up from my chest to crane her neck to look over at her and with a heavy sigh she stands up from my lap regrettably. I already miss her loving warmth.

With a discerning pout I glance over to my whining daughter who is standing in the threshold fidgeting, amazingly she looks just like her mother.

Beautiful without a doubt. Sometimes I can even notice little parts of me within her. Mainly her hotheadedness and raging temperament.

"Okay Harley let's go outside and get ready." Thorn replies while waving her hands toward the door.

"Are you coming?" Thorn questions. I raise my eyebrows up at her giving her a little devilish smirk.

"Well I would but there will be children around beautiful, what would they think?" I reply to her huskily.

"You know I honestly think Stax takes after you sometimes!" She rebuttals. Everyone in the room begins to laugh at that.

Standing up from our seats to follow them out I just shake my head again, smiling. I have been doing a lot of that lately: smiling.

It seems like that everyday that passes I always find something to be able smile about.

I can't complain a bit about how our lives have turned out. I have a growing and happy and healthy family, one that I'm actually very proud about.

Who can ask for anything more?

Walking out the back door with my brothers behind me we all travel to the edge of the forest to meet up with Thorn and the others.

As we approach I spot all of my rowdy kids there along with her. Our pack members are all surrounding them, everyone seems really ecstatic about my daughters first shift tonight.

Thorns standing right beside Harley holding a soft pink robe in her hands for our precious daughter.

Harley is still fidgeting nearly bouncing on her feet from the excitement. She is so strikingly beautiful.

"Daddies!" She exclaims excitingly running over to my brothers and me.

She barrels into Sins chest first giving him a rather large hug then she goes straight for Sunny doing the exact same thing to him. Each of my brothers seemed overwhelmed at the moment. Both have very solemn looks on their faces. They can't stand how vastly mature she has become along with me.

Harley comes to me last wrapping me up into her tiny arms placing them around my waist, I return the hug to her, not wanting to ever let her go.

My little princess has grown up far too fast. Where does the fucking time go?

She releases her arms around me as she peers up to me with the most beautiful smile I have ever seen.

"It's okay daddy even if I meet my mate tonight you three will always be my favorite guys." She tries to reassure us, seeing the innocent expression on her face nearly does me in.

I know she desperately wants to meet her mate tonight and with our pack being overgrown with extra members in it now she may do just that.

I really hate the very thought of my little princess finding her mate so damn soon. Shouldn't she wait until she's like close to thirty or at least somewhere around that prominent age?

I pull her back to me hugging her closely again.

"Even if he's not here I'm sure you will find him princess but just remember that if he ever hurts you in anyway, shape, or form, I will kill him." She pushes me back from her looking up at me disbelievingly.

"You won't harm a single hair on his head daddy. Promise me that you won't." She pleads with me so sweetly I can't help but to chuckle down at her.

"Okay I promise I won't kill him but I will definitely hurt him." I vow with all honesty.

"Same goes for me little one. He just better hope that he treats you right." Sunny exclaims thoroughly.

"I'll be the first on the list to kick his ass if he gives you any problems, sweetie." Sin pipes in aggressively.

Harley just shakes her pretty little head at us and giggles softly.

"I love you guys." She states making my heart swell immensely.

She gets I love you's all around from all of us in return.

"Better go get ready princess. It looks like your mom is about to blow a gasket over there." I state laughing breathlessly.

Thorn is definitely showing signs of mild irritation now, she keeps glaring over at us with a stern look plastered on her face. More than likely probably thinking that we are all trying to talk our precious daughter out of having a damn mate and accepting him, she is not too far off form the truth about thinking just that.

I wouldn't be too disappointed if my princess rejected her mate tonight if she is able to find him but that would be selfish of me. Wouldn't it?

Strolling slowly over to Thorn I wrap her up in my embrace from behind her, placing both of my hands along her growing stomach.

"Relax beautiful, she will be okay." Thorn leans her head back on my chest sighing.

"I'm just worried about her." I'm sure she definitely is and she's not the only one. By the look on my brothers faces I could probably attest that we are all definitely worried about our sweet innocent daughter.

"Daddy when is this going to be over with? I'm tired." Ridge protests sleepily. Glancing down at my sweet little son, I remove one of my hands from Thorns stomach to ruffle my fingers through his blonde hair.

"Not long now buddy." I assure him while peering down at him I suddenly hear light gasps echoing all around me suddenly.

Jerking my head back up I take notice that my daughter has now transformed into a otherworldly ethereal wolf.

My eyes widen with astonishment as I view her tantamount beauty.

She is almost the exact replica of her mother.

I take a tentative step forward toward her only halting when I feel someone grasp ahold of my wrist, I don't have to look back to know exactly who has ahold of me, I feel the sparks shoot straight up through my arm alerting me that Thorn is the one who has me within her gentle hold.

"Mate!" I hear my daughter shout excitedly through our shared mindlink.

Now I look back at Thorn we both have sudden surprise written all over our faces.

I take a chance and glance over at my brothers, they both have similar looks on their faces. All of us are rather surprised by this.

"Mate!" I hear a growl inside of my head that sounds vaguely familiar.

Searching the backyard for the attending culprit my eyes happen to land upon my daughters surprising mate locater in the center of the crowd.

I stand there shocked and visibly shaken.

Harley comes to stand beside me, now back in her human form, dressed in her soft pink robe staring over at her mate with adoration on her face.

Sun, Sin, and Thorn are all on the other side of me observing Harley's mate along with me.

"Daddy he's my mate please be nice." Harley pleads with me while placing her tiny little hand on my arm.

I begrudgingly nod my head to her not being able to form a single fucking word. I'm literally in a state of complete and utter shock.

"Go to him." Thorn insist trying to encourage her while waving her hand at Harley. I growl lowly but unfortunately I know that I'm going to have accept him if I want my daughter to be happy. So swallowing down my down pride I earnestly glance down at her.

"Go ahead." I encourage her although hesitantly, nudging my head in Traces direction.

"Thanks daddy." Harley mouths to me then plants a kiss on my cheek before she walks slowly over to her newly found mate: Trace.

I start to feel a little ashamed over my reluctance when I see the love captured on Traces face all of the sudden. He's been so desperately lonely for years and now he doesn't have to be any longer thanks to the Moon Goddess for matching him up with my loving daughter.

"Well I be damned at least we all know he will treat her good." Sunny exclaims and I have to agree Trace is definitely a good man. He will do right by daughter that I'm damn sure of.

"Mate!" I hear another yell inside of my head through our mindlink.

Oh, you have got to be fucking kidding me!

I watch in horror as my daughters other mate makes his way over to her shyly.

"Damn she has two of them!" Sin exclaims. Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

"Calm down Slay. Mason will be good to her also." Thorn tries to reassure me.

I watch as Mason, Slaughter and Kippers son, looks fondly down at my daughter along with Trace.

"They better be good to her." I growl out ferociously but I hate that I have to eventually accept this shit. That's my baby girl and it irks me to no end knowing that she now has two of them.

"Well at least she will be getting double the action." Sin chuckles making me growl even more ferociously after him.

"Really Sin?" I grunt out in dismay.

"Well I mean, she is just like her mother. I'm pretty sure she will be able to handle two of them." I can't believe he said that. I open my mouth to reprimand him.

"Fuck you Sin!" But it's not me that obnoxiously screams at him, I'm shocked to hear my beautiful precious mate express herself so violently toward him.

"Ah, it's like music to my fucking ears. I love it when a woman screams. Do it some more baby."

Fucking Sin!

The End!

Hope you liked it!
