This book is a work of fiction, and any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.

Six years of living in a cell sure can be hell on a girl. Not to mention the fact that Cecil Windstream was only sixteen years old when her family was taken away to be experimented on. After escaping, all Cecil wanted to do was die, but unfortunately the snake DNA that had been injected into her wouldnt let her die, and either will her mates.

Tug Brimstone was an alpha wolf by nature, but even he wasnt as powerful as his Remi LeBlathe, their true alpha. Happy to be the new head master in their jointly owned BDSM nightclub, Tug wasnt looking for anyone, but fate had another plan for him. In less than two days, he finds he has three mates, two who are part snake and wolf, and now hes tempting fate by injecting snake DNA into his own body so he can mate with them.

Rory Sherwood is mate to Tug Brimstone, Clayton Glands, and Cecil Windstream. How can one tiny female who has been beaten, experimented on, and is a virgin overwhelm him to the point where he forgets his own name, let alone seriously changing his DNA, just so he can mate with her?

Clayton Glands, the muscle behind the National Council of Wolf shifters, has hidden a family secret all his life, but in less than twenty-four hours he has found his mates, exposed his secret, and gained a son.

In a one-week time span, three alpha males Tug, Rory, and Clayton must protect their female from the scientists Cecil had escaped.

Not only is her life in danger, but also her sons, and the future of every shifter around. The war against good and evil is coming to a head and their journey is just part of the story to come.

Chapter One

Tug leaned against the wall, scanning the club for any trouble.

Once again it was packed with members from all three clans in the area.

He was surprised the cats mixed so well with the wolves. He glanced over to Remi's table and met his gaze, nodding. Remi and his mates sat at the table watching the show.

Jaycee, the alpha female of their pack, had insisted the club be decorated for Valentines Day next week. He smiled as he remembered Remi and Dane trying to convince her to leave their club alone, but shed refused.

Dane and Remi did everything Jaycee asked, pampering her. Even now, she sat with her feet in Remi's lap as he rubbed her feet, as Dane's hand rested on the swell of her belly while Mark leaned over her chair and played with her breasts.

"I never thought I would see the day that Remi would be rubbing some woman's feet," Jason growled.

"He's making us look like wimps," The young wolf next to him said.

Tug reached over and clipped him in the head. "Watch your mouth, he snapped. That man could rip your throat out before you even moved and he's our alpha, so show some respect. His wife is pregnant, so he has an excuse to pamper her. She's giving him the best gift any man could have: a child.

A shadow fell over his shoulder and he moaned, knowing it was Remi. He turned, lowering his gaze. "I'm sorry, Remi. He didn't mean it."

Remi grabbed the young wolf by the throat and lifted him up.

"Never, and I mean never, doubt my ability as pack leader. One can display love for a woman and still be the most powerful man around." He threw him to the ground. "Go home, Jason. You're not old enough to be here anyway, and make sure your father knows what was said here."

Jason crawled towards the door as Tug opened it for him. As soon as he was outside, he ran.

Laughing, Tug closed the door and leaned against the wall. "So, how are the babies? Has the morning sickness stopped?" He glanced at his friend.

Leaning back against the wall, Remi sighed. "No, she's still sick every morning, but Marsha and the doctors have assured us the babies are fine." He laughed. "They sure do kick up a storm, though. I thought for sure this morning one of them was going to kick right out of her belly."

Tug laughed and glanced at the door as a group of wolves entered the building. They lowered their heads in respect to Remi and moved into the club. "So, are we still having the Valentines Dance here next week?"

He smirked.

"Knock it off, Tug. It's the least we can do for Jaycee. Plus, it's the only place big enough to hold everyone. We can't give her the wedding yet, with the threat still hanging over our heads. She's right, though. We need a small event to ease the tensions in the packs. Bo's been talking about going back to Montana and it's scaring the crap out of Jaycee."

He frowned and turned to Remi. "You think thats wise? He's all alone out there and everyone knows hes important to you guys."

"There's not much we can do to stop him. He's the alpha of their clan. Dane's been trying to talk some sense into him, but I don't know. He has promised to stay here for the dance." Remi straightened and glanced at the door. "Someone's hurt." He growled and pulled open the door, sniffing the air around them.

Following Remi outside, they both scanned the cars not seeing anything. The door opened behind them and Tug knew Dane had stepped out, his scent washing over him. "What's going on? Jaycees throwing a fit trying to come out here. She said a female was in trouble."

Stepping forward, Tug placed his body in front of the alphas, cussing up a storm. Just what he needed: two pissed off alphas who didn't know how to stay out of harms way. He looked at the vacant field behind the parked cars when he saw her. Her blond hair reflected the lights from the club. She held up an armmissing a hand. "Crap! Remi, we're going to need the doctor." Tug yelled and ran to her as she fell forward onto her knees.

He yanked his belt off and kneeled down before her. "Easy, I got you." He wrapped the belt around her arm, tying off the circulation. She had to have lost too much blood. Her heart skipped a beat and she passed out in his arms. A vicious snarl rose up out of him and shocked him. Tug glanced down at the beauty in his arms, not understanding the emotions swirling around in his head and heart.

Remi and Dane both glanced down as they walked towards the clubs doors. "I didn't sense anyone out there, but you might want to double the patrols." The door opened to the club and Jaycee stood there, glaring at her mates.

"I've got the room behind the bar all ready, and the doctor happened to be here, so he's in the room waiting for you," she snapped.

"Do you know who she is?" She glanced at Remi and Dane.

"No, she's not from our packs, and what the hell are you doing 6

opening the damn door?" Remi shouted, picking her up and pushing open the door to the private bedroom.

The doctor nodded to the bed where Tug placed his light bundle.

"Remi, shes part wolf, but something else. I can smell it. The doctor pulled out his instruments. "I don't know how she made it this far. The end of her arm is frozen where it was cut off. She's lucky it was cold enough to do this, otherwise she would have bled out."

Remi lowered Jaycee down. "Will it start bleeding now that its warm in here?" Jaycee sat down on the bed and pushed the woman's hair away from her face.
