The former alpha wasn't happy with being relegated to his new role. Leks could tell the stallion was planning to challenge him again. He had to take the other stallion down a peg before that could happen.
And because he knew horses well, he knew just what to do.
One night, after they stopped their travel, the alpha and Iris split off. But Leks quickly got in the way, shoving the alpha aside and mounting Iris himself.
Leks gasped as he shoved his cock into the mare's eager pussy. Oh, this was pleasure like he'd never felt! No wonder Ladybug had enjoyed the company of stallions so much, if she had felt even half as splendid as he did.
Iris, for her part, quickly gave in to her new mate. She didn't fight or protest, merely accepting the glorious sex. Leks thrust into her vigorously, putting everything he had into claiming her. When he finally shot his seed into her, he dismounted.
Iris looked at the alpha, then at Leks. After a moment, she stood by Leks's side and nuzzled him sweetly. The alpha walked away, visibly dejected.
Leks felt thrilled. He could get used to fucking mares. And to keep the alpha happy, maybe he could get Ladybug to turn him to a mare. Then the lone stallion and the alpha would have mates again.
Meanwhile, Iris's mind was racing. Though the other members of her group had been mentally impacted by being claimed, she had kept her wits, as she had invoked the amulet when she first felt the alpha's hooves on her back. She had been guiding the alpha to take them to Wind's Grove, but this new alpha was different. She would have to switch up her tactics.
