Chapter 4

(AN: More of Matthias being a horny male in this chapter, you have been warned. Not a lemon since FF here doesn't allow it, I will post the Full Monty on my DA page when the time comes. Also, I know bulls are color blind so I only used the red pants as a comedic relief in the last chapter. Enjoy!))

The pack except for Ariana relocated to the stands while Matthias was still drying off from his bout with the bull. A few children sat in front of them as other patrons started to fill the stands around them. "Mommy, what smells like wet dog?" A child asked making the Dane snicker a bit before he got an elbow to the ribs from Lukas. "Behave." Was all the Norwegian wolf said as the stands finished filling up. "Ok everybody, welcome to the rodeo night of the fair! Out here we have the barrels set up for barrel racing and next we will have the calf roping contest. Lets see if any of our challengers can beat our reigning champion 5 years running, Ariana Vainamoinen!" At the announcers fanfare the crowed erupted into applause as Ariana came out on her horse Mr. Buttons.

Ariana smiled hearing the crowd and spied the pack cheering her on from the stands, well Lukas was clapping in a reserved posture, as well as Emil and Kaoru. Berwald nodded at her and gave a clap or two, Matthias, Tino, and Peter were cheering the loudest though. This made her chuckle as she got Mr. Buttons ready to do the barrel racing part of the night. After the crowd quieted down she got ready. At the sound of the whistle she got Mr. Buttons galloping around the barrels as a swift pace. The smells of the crowd and the adrenaline pumping in her blood made Ariana's eyes glow a bit as she rounded the next set of barrels. Mr. Buttons sensed the change and smelled wolf making him whinny a bit and gallop harder.

At the end of the run she pulled him to a stop and looked at her time and was astonished, it was the best time she ever had. "Thanks Mr. Buttons, couldn't have done it without you." She smiled petting his mane and making him snort some. "There you have it folks! A new record! Lets hear it for Ariana and Mr. Buttons!" The announcer blurted over the PA system. At that Ariana got her horse back to the stalls to wait for the calf roping contest. In the back she dismounted and got some water for her horse when she was approached by one of the town's thugs, Billy Brown. "Well if it isn't Ari and Mr. Buttons." Billy snorted smelling of tobacco and smoke. "Hey Billy, what do you want?" Ariana asked with a dull sound to her voice.

Billy looked insulted that she didn't respond to his so called swagger. "I'm here to ask you to the Pumpkin Dance later this week, every girl in town is wanting me to take her but I only have eyes for you." He smiled showing some missing teeth and bad oral hygiene. "Sorry Billy, my cousin is in town with his friends and I can't go. Remember, I don't see you that way." She stated holding her ground. The wolf inside of her was telling her to tear the jerk apart. Billy's hurt soon turned into rage as he charged her. He never got a chance to lay an hand on her because a strong hand had come down on his shoulder and grabbed a fistful of flannel shirt and lifted him off the ground.

"Just who the hell do you think you are?" Matthias growled at the youth. Billy turned around and could have swore he saw the large man's eyes glowing. Ariana rolled her eyes and went up to the Dane who still had Billy in a grip. "Put him down Matthias, he isn't worth anything." She stated placing her hand on his arm and while Billy wasn't looking at her, she bared her throat to the Alpha. At this Matthias sighed and set the human down who quickly apologized to them both and scampered off. Ariana looked at his eyes and smiled. "Thanks." She said baring her throat again showing him her submission.

Matthias growled seductively and pulled her to him which surprised Ariana as she placed nips and licks on the skin of her bared flesh inhaling her scent to make sure the other male didn't mar her with his stench. "Matthias." She groaned as his hips ground into hers and she could feel a prominent bulge brushing her hip. "I can't wait to get you back to our territory and mate you in my bed." He hissed seductively into her ear before nipping it. After that he let her go and she looked at him. "Why did you come back here Matthias?" She asked grabbing her horses reigns to get ready for the next event.

"I came back here to congratulate you on a job well done, also I told Lukas I would go get some snacks." He chuckled sheepishly thinking on the beating that awaited him back in the stands since he was taking too long. Ariana shook her head at his pathetic look, Alpha or not he was henpecked. "Just tell Lukas you saw me in distress and came to my rescue like a knight in shining armor. I'll back you up." She smiled at the look of elation that washed over his face. "Thanks!" With that he gave her a quick hug and scampered off to the snack bar leaving her chuckling at the sight.

Soon the next event was starting and she mounted Mr. Buttons again and was handed a lasso by one of the hands. She trotted out into the arena at the announcers instructions and spied the pack again in the stands with Matthias munching on a hotdog and Lukas giving her a questioning look. She made eye contact with the Norwegian wolf and nodded at him which after a moment received a nod back from him confirming the Dane's story to him. Ariana then set her sights on a bucking calf who was running around the ring and at the sound of the horn she got Mr. Buttons galloping after it while she got the lasso going. She quickly roped the calf and jumped off the horse and tied it up at the cheer of the crowd. Looking down she saw the look of fear in the eyes of the calf and wanted to sink her fangs into it's neck and feast away. She shook the feeling and stood up to the cheers.

After the rodeo was over she made her way into the stands to sit with her pack after having one of the hands she knew drive Mr. Buttons back to her barn. As soon as she sit down next to Lukas she saw him lean over to smell her and growled slightly smelling a faint trace of Billy from before. "I told you Norge, saw him trying to go at her and stepped in to save her." Matthias stated as Tino turned around. "Joo, are you ok?" He asked as she grabbed a handful of popcorn. "Yeah, I'm fine. Billy has been after me for some time now for me to date him." She muttered hearing low growls from Lukas and Matthias. "Turned him down every single time. Shoot a henpecked roster has more swagger than he does."

Berwald smirked before fixing his glassed. "So Matt'as h's more swagg'r th'n he d'es?" He asked as Tino burst out laughing at the look that crossed the Alpha's face. Even Lukas had to bite back a laugh. When the Alpha came to his senses he tossed a turkey leg at the Beta. "Hey! Keep it up S've." He muttered not wanting to get into a fight here around people. Peter wasn't paying attention to anything as he watched the rodeo clowns try and wrangle a bull. Emil shook his head at the group as Kaoru chuckled when he got a text. Pulling his phone out her looked at it.

"Good news, Eduard is fixing to board a flight here to deliver the new documents. Bad news, this territories Alpha Alfred is in the vicinity and will be meeting him to come here. Seems Eduard contacted him." At that Matthias's mood tanked and the pack decided to get him back to the house before he blew their cover on what they were. As they were driving back Matthias was placed in the back seat between Ariana and Lukas who used their scents to try and calm the raging Alpha while Berwald drove with Tino in the passenger seat and Emil and Kaoru followed in their car with a passed out Peter in the back seat.

Once they got to the house Matthias went in first and sat on the couch with a beer from the fridge just brooding as the others made their way in. Ariana started to go in to comfort the Dane but Lukas held her arm and told her it was best to let it pass because he might snap and take it out on her. Berwald sighed and took off his clothes and glasses and shifted. He knew how to knock the Alpha out of his funk and jumped him from behind with a snarl. Soon the sound of a wolf fight was heard throughout the house as they fought in the living room. Ariana rolled her eyes at the growls and snarls and went upstairs to get a shower while Lukas went to go brew some coffee. Emil sat down on the sofa out of the way of the fight to text Eduard back and tell him that they would be waiting for him at the house and sent him Ariana's address. He also got a text from Alfred telling him that he and Matthew would be picking the Estonian up from the airport.

Kaoru soon came down from upstairs after putting Peter to sleep and saw Emil on the sofa ignoring the flight as Tino looked on hoping that Berwald wouldn't get hurt. "Joo, be careful Ber!" The Asian wolf sat down next to his mate and pulled Emil's feet into his lap and started rubbing the bottom of them making the Icelandic wolf sigh in content. "How much longer to you think those two will go at it?" Kaoru asked and Emil opened a purple eye and looked at his mate. "I don't know, Matthias was pretty ticked off that he would have to deal with the American Alpha. At least he isn't as bad as Sadik or Ludwig." Kaoru nodded at his mate's response and leaned in to kiss him. Lukas clearing his throat from the kitchen stopped that. Emil gave the Norwegian a look and grabbed Kaoru's face and kissed him in defiance.

Upstairs Ariana was taking a nice long hot shower. The sound of the water was muffling the sounds of Matthias and Berwald's fight downstairs however she still heard it. She lathered up her hands with her favorite unscented soap and washed herself and then lathered her legs and sex real good and shaved. She didn't like the real perfume soaked soaps that were at the local stores and now that her nose was more keen it made her sneeze. After her shower she stepped out of the bathroom wearing a knee high button up cotton shirt that she had gotten out of the men's section of the store but loved to sleep in it because it was so comfortable.

As the fight started to die down some she turned and saw Lukas come through the door with a tired look on his face and head to the bathroom. She smiled and got into the bed and made herself comfortable as the shower turned on. She started to doze a bit when the fight stopped and soon two pairs of heavy thumps came up the stairs. One went off in one direction and the other came towards her door. Matthias, bloody and torn up came into the room and tossed his shredded clothes into the trash. Ariana's eyes went wide at the bites and scratches all over his body as Lukas came out of the bathroom. "Idiot, why did you let Berwald beat you up so bad?" Lukas scolded going over to his bag and getting out the first aid kit to sew up some of his wounds so he wouldn't bleed all over the bed.

"Sorry Norge, Berwald just jumped me before I could react. I think he got back at me for our fight a few weeks ago." He chuckled as he was patched up. A soft knock to the door had Tino poking his head in. "Joo, when you're done Lukas can I use the first aid kit? Berwald is a bit beat up." At that Lukas closed the kit having patched the Dane up and tossed it to the Finn. "I'll get it in the morning Tino." Lukas muttered to the nodding Finn before he closed the door to treat his mate down the hall. Ariana who was silent through the whole exchange looked at the patched up Dane with a look of concern on her eyes.

Seeing her look Lukas shook his head. "Don't worry, he's been beat up more than this." At Lukas's words Matthias grinned like his old self again. "Yeah, took a shot to the head last year. Only kept me down for a few days." With that he grinned as Lukas swatted him. Ariana's eyes went wide. "A head shot and you walked away?" She asked as Lukas got into the bed next to her and dimmed the bedside light. "Yeah, with only mild brain damage." Lukas muttered making Ariana snicker some as Matthias got into the bed on the other side. "Yeah, I was out of it for a few days but I lived." He yawned as Lukas finally extinguished the light and all of them drifted off into sleep.

Tino soon finished patching Berwald up and put the first aid kit away and slowly climbed into the bed. Since Peter had taken the room that was unused by Lukas and Matthias the couple finally had some alone time. The big Swede pulled the little Finn closer and kissed him deeply. "Th'nks fer patchin me up." Berwald murmured nipping the Finn on the throat causing him to gasp loudly, the scent of his arousal filling the room. "Oh Ber." Tino gasped as they kissed. Berwald pulled him on top of his chest and started kissing him deeply as he ground his arousal into the Finn's hips. "I w'nt ya." He whispered into the Tino's ear causing the Finn to blush a deep crimson. "Joo, so do I." They slowly took each others clothes off and soon they both were naked as Tino grabbed the lube. They quietly made love so not to wake anybody else up. After they were done Tino, exhausted was spooned to the big Swede's chest as they drifted off to sleep.

Pleasure! That was the only thing Ariana felt in her dreamless haze. Pure intense pleasure. She moaned as she slowly came to from her sleep. The smell of arousal was intense in her mind that it effected hers as well. She threw her head back as the pleasure became intense as her bedroom ceiling came into focus as she finally woke up. That was when she realized that the pleasure she was feeling were coming from the two males she shared her bed with. Her night shirt had been unbuttoned all the way leaving her bare with her breasts heaving with every breath exposed as a certain Norwegian wolf suckled her nipples. As another wave of pleasure shot though her she looked down and saw the messy blonde hair of the Dane at the apex of her thighs as his tounge lapped at her wet sex while his nose inhaled her scent.

Ariana moaned loudly as the pleasure soon sent her over the edge as Matthias lapped her juices up greedily. When she caught her breath she blushed and looked up at both of them. "What? Why?" she mumbled as the sun shined through the window. "This is your morning wake up call." Matthias chuckled as he peeled off his bandages showing only slight scratches from the once nasty wounds from the night before. Lukas just rolled his eyes and got out of bed to go to the shower to get rid of his raging hard on. He knew Ariana wasn't ready for a full mating and hoped the idiot Dane didn't press the issue.

Once Lukas was in the shower Matthias slowly kissed up Ariana's stomach and placed his lips on hers and kissed her while he pressed her into the mattress, his boxers doing little to hide his erection. "You smelled so good. With that other Alpha coming here today Ariana, Lukas and I wanted to get our scents on you so he wont get any ideas." Matthias stated rubbing his still clothed erection over her moist folds making them both moan. "You're not ready for me to take you just yet doll face." He whispered kissing her throat before getting up to follow Lukas into the shower. Ariana blushed and came out of her stupor when she heard the moans coming from Lukas behind the bathroom door. Something told her today was going to be one heck of a headache.
