Axel
Something is wrong. I can feel it somehow, even though Luna hasn’t sworn into the pack, so we don’t share the pack bond. But we still share some other bond, a curse that ties me to her no matter how much I deny it. My wolf frets inside me, sure that something is not right.
I sigh and try to focus again, piling sandbags along the edge of Kato’s backyard to keep the water at bay. Luna finally got it through my thick head that she’s with them now, not me. She wants nothing to do with me. She’s got three thugs protecting her, and even though they’re worthless wastes of wolf skin, they’re not going to let anyone touch her. They’d rip anyone’s head off who tried. It’s a miracle they put up with me as long as they did. If I’d understood how things were, I would have walked away before. But I listened to my wolf, and I sure as fuck suffered enough for it. I don’t need to go running to her house now. I never want to set foot in that place again.
But the little voice in the back of my mind keeps telling me something’s wrong.
I reach through the bond I share with Ama.
Ama, can you check on Luna? I haven’t made it to a few houses at that end of the street. Stuck at Carina and Kato’s a few more minutes.
Sure thing, boss. I knew you hadn’t, and I took care of the last houses.
Teamwork. Right, baby?
Thanks.
I should be relieved, but something still doesn’t feel right. After a few minutes, I reach through again.
Did you see Luna? Yes. She’s fine.
Despite her reassurance, I can’t concentrate. I can feel something’s amiss, and even though Ama talked to me, she had her shields up, preventing me from exploring her thoughts at all. I only got words, and words are cheap. All wolves can protect their privacy, and ordinarily, I wouldn’t question it. But when it involves Luna…
The nagging thoughts about Luna’s well-being persist. I still trust my wolf intuition, and what my intuition tells me right now is that Ama is lying, and Luna is in trouble.
I can’t fight the unease any longer-I’ve got to check on her. I call out to Kato and Carina, who are slinging sandbags down the line, and then I hit the road.
The windshield wipers are useless as I power up the street, which is already doused with a half-foot of water. It’s only going to get worse. Palm trees are bent double, as if their trunks are made of putty, and a piece of flying tin narrowly misses the truck as I power through the storm.
When I get to Luna’s, I leap out of the front seat and race up the walkway to her house. Pounding on the door yields nothing. Opening the door and yelling for Luna, for anyone, is equally fruitless. Is she out with her biker outlaws? Where would they possibly go in this storm?
I head back to the truck and drive as quickly as possible, given the wind and the rain slamming against my vehicle. I skid to a stop in front of my house. The driver’s side door, caught in a sudden gust, nearly rips from its hinges as I throw it open. I race inside, my wolf on full alert. Something is wrong here.
I burst through the front door to see Ama holding Luna’s body pinned to the floor, a knife pressed to her throat. Both women are bloody and banged up like they’ve been duking it out for a while. Ama’s more muscular, and she’s used it to her advantage, straddling Luna’s back and gripping her hair with one hand, holding the blade with the other.
My wolf explodes out of me so fast my clothes are torn to shreds, pieces of fabric flying across the room.
“I’m doing this for us,” Ama shrieks. “So nothing will come between us again!”
Fuck that. We were never together in the first place.
Getting our physical needs met and joining in a partnership are two separate things. As usual, Ama has skewed the facts.
Fangs bared, I leap, claws poised to take Ama down. My teeth land on the arm wielding the knife, and Ama screams, shifting into her wolf skin. I rip her front leg away from Luna, and the knife clatters to the ground. Luna rolls away, taking herself out of harm’s way instead of trying to help and becoming a distraction or a liability.
Smart girl.
Ama cries out as I crunch down on her bone, grinding through muscle and tendon and snapping the bone. She snarls and snaps at me, trying to gain purchase on my neck. But she’s diminutive compared to me, no match for her Alpha. She betrayed me-worse, she hurt my precious Luna. Without a second thought, I go for the kill strike, closing my teeth over her carotid artery and ripping out her throat. I drop her body to the floor and turn to Luna, blood dripping from my jaws.
I shift and scoop up my mate, who’s huddling on the floor next to the sofa. Adrenaline pumps through me, and I feel like the king of the world,
the most powerful wolf that’s ever lived. I throw Luna down on the couch and dive on top of her, my mouth claiming hers roughly.
She gives a surprised little moan, her hands cupping my face and pulling me down, kissing me back with fierceness and desperation.
“I’m sorry,” she pants out between kisses. “I’m sorry I ever chased you away. If I’d known you’d run to the arms of that vile woman, I’d never have let you go.”
I draw her knees open and slide up between them, moaning when my bare cock rubs against the heat between her thighs. Every cell in my body aches with need.
“She’s nothing,” I say. “Just a hole to fill to pass the time.”
“What about me?” Luna asks, grinding her hips up against mine.
“You’re my mate, my True Mate, my everything,” I say, reaching down and wrenching her jeans down so hard they tear like mine did when I shifted. I push a finger into her tight, slick little hole, and she whimpers with pleasure, biting at my lips, scratching my neck, and bucking against me.
“Then show me,” she manages, dropping back on the couch.
“Oh, I’m about to,” I say, grabbing my stiff cock and lowering it to her entrance.
“Did you fuck Ama here?” she asks, closing her knees around my hips.
“What does that matter?” I growl. “You let the triplets pass you around like a fucking whore.”
“If she means so little to you, then show me,” Luna shoots back. “Fuck me on her body.” She thrusts her finger at the dead wolf across from us, lifeless next to the wall.
I draw back, shocked at her gruesome request. But my wolf roars with approval, wanting this primal need to be filled-victory and lust twist together into one urge as I snatch up Luna and carry her to the body of my Second. I killed Ama for her, and she’s making me prove I don’t regret it.
I don’t. Not for a second.
I lay Luna down on the fur pelt of the wolf body. Its dark eyes are now clouded over like fog obscuring midnight, and she stares into the beyond. Luna takes a few sniffs and then rolls over onto her hands and knees. She looks over her shoulder at me, a wicked grin on her face. “I’ll lick her blood,” she says. “You fuck me.”
The scent of her arousal is too intoxicating to let this moment pass. She sways her hips from side to side as she invites me to mate. I bend and run my tongue through her cunt, sweeping up and down her wet folds and tasting my mate, her scent made just for me. My wolf roars for me to claim her, and hers cries out in answer. I kneel up behind her as she lowers her head, lapping up the blood spreading across my hardwood floor.
The sight is enough to nearly make me wolf out again, but I hold him back as he howls to mark and claim our mate again. But I don’t hesitate and go slow this time. She’s no longer the scared little virgin I first claimed upstairs. She’s a woman who’s had multiple partners at once, one who knows what she wants. And her wolf says she wants to be plowed like a slut. I grip her narrow hips and thrust inside her, and she cries out. I answer by fucking her hard and rough, the dominating rhythm making her moan each time my hips hit her ass as I bury my cock to the hilt in her sweet, wet pussy.
She looks over her shoulder at me, her mouth streaked with gore, and I feel the knot swell at the base of my cock, the painful stretch as it enlarges. I flip over so Luna is on top, letting her ride me, her pale legs folded as she moves up and down. I watch the muscles in her ass flex and my cock sliding into her snug little hole until I can’t bear it. Grabbing her leg, I swing it over me, turning her until she’s facing me. Her eyes widen at the way my cock hits every place inside her. I slam up into her from below, loving the way she looks, so feral and bloody, a warrior who conquered her enemy.
Or at least I conquered her. Luna is my prize. “Luna,” I growl. “Fuck, I love you.”
She leans down, wiping her hand in the blood before streaking it across my chest like a reminder of what I’d do for her. “That’s right,” she says. “You love me. Only me. Whose pussy do you belong inside?”
“Yours, Luna. Your pussy is mine, and I’m about to fucking destroy it.”
“Yes,” she moans. “And your cock is mine. All mine.” Her possessiveness drives me to the edge, and I slam up into her as hard as I can. She squeals as I impale her, the knot stretching her until her eyes grow wide with alarm and she’s gasping for relief. She rakes her nails down my
chest in the throes of passion, drawing blood from my skin.
“So take all of it,” I growl. “Even my knot. It’s made for you.” I pump into her harder, even when I hear the door open and feel the presence of other wolves. This is my claiming, and nothing but death will stop me. I slam into her until I think her fragile body will shatter with the force, but I don’t let up. I thrust into her harder, stroking her slick core with my cock until her juices run down my balls and she writhes helplessly on top of me.
Her movements get wilder as she realizes she’s pinned, that she can’t move with the knot stretching her so good. I flip her over and grind deeper, filling her to the brim with every inch of me, watching her pant through the pain and pleasure to find her climax.
“Yes,” she cries, her knees opening and closing, her hips grinding up against mine as I crush her down into Ama’s body until I feel the wolf
bones snapping beneath us. “Oh, yes! Come now, Axel. Breed me. Please!”
I wait until she’s milking me, sucking me with her core in the throes of orgasm before I release inside her. My cum shoots into her, my wolf soul filling her with each wave of cum pouring into her tender center. I raise my head and roar with my wolf, and she howls with her own relief her legs wrapped around me and her body jerking with spasm of pleasure, her cunt stretched so tight it aches around the knot of my cock that’s lodged insider her. Finally, she falls back in a whimpering heap of bliss, trembling all over as she submits to my claim in front of her three watching lovers.
