The Alpha’s Heir
Chapter 15

*** Junior ***

Nikki is crazy. She is as mad as a box of frogs and I am stuck with her, with nowhere else to go. We have been trapped for days now and apart from shifting and eating rabbits and salmon when I could catch it, I take no other real sustenance. It is affecting my strength, my decisions, and my ability to resist the wily little minx who insists on riding my c0ck at least four times a day. In my weak state, I can’t resist her attempts to plant my pup inside her. I’m sure Dominga will understand. After all, it isn’t my fault that I am so horny. I am an Alpha Wolf. My overwhelming desire is to please, seek pleasure and reproduce. It’s a primal need and Dominga cannot fulfil my needs right now.

I consider making contact with my mother for help, but my father would have poisoned her against me by now. My father favours his bastard, I bet, the shifty sh!thouse. I have to get out of the Onyx River territory. Nikki is taking unnecessary risks and I am not running the threat of being caught so she can taunt her prey.

My only hope now is to get back to Dominga. She still has the power to get me out of this sh!t. She always used to say that we could move abroad once this is all over and we can live our lives out on the beach if we wish to. What can I do about Nikki, though? If she is carrying my pup, I want it. That means keeping Nikki alive long enough to birth a healthy pup. I don’t think Dominga is going to be happy about that, especially if Nikki continues to flirt and demand my c0ck inside her. But Dominga can’t give me a pup, she’s too old, so I need this. It may be my only chance.

“We need to get back to Dominga. She can’t know about us.” Nikki scowls at me, unhappy with my command. I grab her by the face and laugh when she squeals. “Is that going to be a f*****g problem? Did you see what I did to that human? I will do the same to you, you f*****g little b!tch, if you don’t do what I say. We need to get off werewolf territory and get back to Dominga, she can get us money and get us out of the country until our pup is born.”

The mention of our pup is enough to persuade her. “So, what do we tell her if I am pregnant?” I tread carefully here. She might be beneath my station, but I have witnessed first-hand how crazy she is.

“By the time we find out if you are with pup, we will have discarded her anyway, so it won’t matter. We just need to keep up appearances until we get out of the country and get some money and then we will dump her. Right now, you aren’t officially pregnant and, therefore, Dominga doesn’t need to know that you might be.”

There is a part of me that is completely disgusted by Nikki. She is so needy, so desperate for love and affection, I could really be anyone just as long as she was getting her pup. But then there is a small part of me that feels a connection with her. I can relate to her and although her state of mind is a concern when it comes to my pup’s genetics, she really is quite adorable in her own way.

When we arrive back at our hide-out, Nikki drops to her knees and pulls my c0ck out. “I will get us to Dominga, and I will keep quiet about us if you give me your oath. Tell me I’m your Luna. Make me your Luna, mark me, f**k me, and give me your pups. Promise me, Junior.”

She finally shuts up. My c0ck is already hard, jumping slightly when she wraps her tongue around the tip. She svckles it and then l!cks all the way down my shaft. I’ve never felt anything so exquisite before. She tenderly cups my balls as she l!cks all the way back up to the purpled-headed tip of my c0ck. “F**k, yeah!” I shout as I use both hands to push her head and mouth to take my full-length in. However, Nikki resists me.

She wipes her mouth with the back of her hand. “Oh, no. First you promise and then I will svck you like you’ve never been svcked before.” She holds up two fingers and replicates what she means on them. She m0ans loader as she svcks hard past all the knuckles on her nimble fingers and then she slurps all the way down. My c0ck is burning with need now, it strains for release, begging for Nikki’s mouth or her pvssy.

“Svck me, come on Nikki, don’t make my balls turn blue. I can’t give you a pup that way.” She shakes her head at me, refusing me.

“No, promise me, Junior. Promise me and it’s all yours, every hole, every position in every way. Make me your Luna, say the words and your c0ck will be rewarded. Every part of you will get my rewards. SAY IT. Promise to make me yours.”

I can’t take the torment any longer. “I promise. I am going to make you my Luna. I am giving you my pups. Now, f*****g svck me!” She deepthroats me for a couple of minutes before I blow my thick hot cvm down her throat.

Throwing Nikki down onto the floor of the cave, I pull her leggings and p*nties from her. “It’s my turn to eat, open your legs, let me see your tight little pvssy.” She spreads her legs wide for me, showing me her moist pink slit and tight hole. She isn’t as groomed now as when we started out, our circumstances have prevented it. “Do you want to come, Nikki? Do you want me to munch on you until you scream my name again?”

“Yes, eat me, do it now.” She p*nts and m0ans as I crawl between her legs, craving me. My skills must be unparalleled. “Come on, Alpha, don’t make me wait, your Luna needs you.”

I stop just a couple of centimetres from her pubic bone. “Promise me. Promise me you’ll keep our secret from Dominga, and you’ll be on your best behaviour until we are out of the country and safe. Promise me or I’ll bite your little cl!t right off and you’ll never feel pleasure again.”

She struggles beneath me, scared I will take away her pleasure button, and just to tease her I l!ck all the way down from her cl!t to her as*sh0le, gently and suggestively. Nikki bucks her h!ps trying to absorb more of my superior touch. “Oh no, not until you make your oath. Come on, it’ll be practice for your Luna Ceremony… that’s what you want, right?”

“I promise, I promise. I won’t tell her. Just f*****g l!ck me properly, Junior. I need it now.” I continue to tease her with featherlight strokes of my tongue against her most sensitive parts, before gripping her cl!t between my teeth. I don’t break the skin, but I pull the area gently from her and look into her fear-filled eyes. I’m showing her what I could do if she defies me. I release her cl!t with a slight pop and then l!ck her, I lap at her and smash my lips at her swollen cl!t until she is writhing in pleasure again. “I’m gonna come, I… I.” Her lvsty m0an fills the cave as she comes.

I move between her thighs and plant myself firmly inside her and she clenches me with her hot and wet walls as I do. I am rough, but from her squeals and m0ans I can tell she likes it. Why wouldn’t she? She flips me over so I’m on my back and she’s on top, her lithe frame grinds against me. “Look at me, Alpha. Look at your Luna as she rides you.” My eyes meet hers and I am overwhelmed with affection for her.

“Yes. My Luna, ride me, f**k me. Make me yours.” Then unexpectedly, as my c0ck is pumping my muck inside her, she leans down to my neck and marks me.

“Mine!” My wolf is furious, but I have to remember that I commanded that she make me hers. “You’re mine now and always, Junior. Now make me yours too.”

I bite down hard on her neck, over her past lover’s mark, ensuring mine is larger so it covers his. The bond between us, although not fated, is strong and complex. I am disgusted when I realise I would do anything to protect her, my chosen mate. I would do anything to ensure her safety and happiness. She looks at me, filled with pride and knowing. She knew I would feel this way, she knows because she has already had a mate and felt the bond.

As much as I want to destroy the little b!tch for stitching me up, I also want to k!ss her soundly for being so clever and conniving.

“I know what you did. Now you’ll never use your power against me again or I’ll destroy us both. Understand, mate?”

She smiles sinisterly and sweetly at me before k!ssing me. “I understand, Alpha. Now come on, let’s go and find your old wh0re so we can get out of this hole.” Despite myself, pride in my mate, pride for her power and determination fills me.

“I could really fall for you, Nikki. We could build something strong and powerful with us working together as one.” I thought she would appreciate my flowery words, but she looks back at me with confused panic and alarm.

“Let’s not forget that this is a union of convenience, Junior. This is fun and if we both get pups from it, that’s even better, especially if they have your Alpha lineage and my Red-Mage powers. But that’s it, Junior. Don’t blur the lines.”

What the f**k does that mean? She has been incessantly badgering me to make her mine for the past few weeks and now she tells me it’s a union of convenience. She really has lost the plot.

“Whatever you say, Luna.”

*** Melanie ***

Sitting here with Eva and Salma, I almost feel like we have been friends for years. I am one of the girls, and they accept and value me. I can’t remember a time when I felt so normal. They listen to me and confide in me too and I could get used to being friends with them. I hope that is a possibility.

I sincerely thought Max was joking last night when he told me he needed to talk to me about something serious. “Melanie, I need to tell you something about me, and then hopefully the rest will make sense to you. I’m a werewolf. And that means I can feel a bond between us that tells me that we are fated to be together.”

Bursting into laughter, I truly think this is a funny story to make me laugh. “You’re crazy, Max, with your stories and funny sayings. You’ve really kept my spirits up.”

I didn’t take a bit of notice of what he said, but when I relay the story to Eva and Sal and see their reactions, I know there is some truth in it. The realisation that Max means everything he’s told me overwhelms me, causing joy to burst in my chest. We are meant to be together, the mates bond is a real thing, everything he told me is true.

I can’t wait to talk to him about it later. For now, I wipe my tears away and share my happiness with my friends. This has been bittersweet. I am heartbroken that I lost my baby and I don’t think I will ever get over that. But the promise of someone destined for me, someone as lovely, kind, and s3xy as Max, well, that makes moving forward and looking to the future a little easier.

Eva tells me why she is in the cell and it sounds really scary. I ask her about Summer and they believe she is a werewolf too. It’s a surprise that Ryan never knew, but it makes sense when she explains that she didn’t know either until recently.

“So, Melanie, has Max told you what he wants in the future?” My face fills with heat now that I know he won’t change his mind and that he is being deadly serious about wanting me to move here with him and us being a family. He even said there would be room for my boys whenever they want to visit or stay too.

“He asked me to move in with him, he said he would ask for a bigger accommodation for us so my boys can come and stay too. But I told him I would have to talk to you about it first. I don’t want to infringe and if me being here causes you pain then I will tell him no.” I look at them both to gauge their reaction. It was one thing to invite me to sit with them. It is a whole other thing to live in close proximity to me and be involved in everyday life with each other.

“Are you kidding me, Mel? I’ve been setting up an appropriate place for you both to live. The past is the past, no one is perfect. I am so happy to be welcoming you as a member of my pack, as my Gamma’s mate and as my friend. You deserve to find some bliss now too. Be happy, Mel.” My eyes fill up with tears again as I take it all in. I have a mate, a pack and friends as well as two healthy sons and a promising future. Yes, times have been hard, but everything led me on the path to Max.

“What are the next steps in your therapy, Eva?” Salma inquires. Salma is able to relax now that she knows her husband should be safe. The next steps of Eva’s therapy are also of interest to me. Now that Eva knows I’m not part of her therapy, what is the next step for her and her recovery?

“I am going to phone Luke in a little while. Aiden and I are working through my issues with Ryan and tomorrow my mother is coming so I can confront her too. Hopefully, I will be out of the cell soon and then Aiden and I can have our Mating Ceremony.” I have no idea what that means but this is something I can talk to Max about now.

The thought of having someone as considerate and loving as Max to share my life with fills me with warm love and longing. When he walks back into the cell, my tummy somersaults. His hair is wet, but his clothes are dry. “Is it raining?” I ask him, but he shakes his head at me.

“Did you let Ray out for a run?” Eva asks him and he looks at me quickly before grinning and nodding. “Don’t worry, we’ve explained everything to Melanie. She believes you now. Don’t you, Mel?” I nod my head at him, shyly.

“Come on then, Honey, you should get back to the hospital and get some rest. Mrs Morales, I can take you over to see your husband now too, if you want. He’s in recovery.”

I hug Eva goodnight and whisper my thanks to her that she has been able to forgive me and welcome me into her pack. She wishes me goodnight.

“Max, you and Melanie should come and have a look at the available apartments once she has recovered.”

Max smiles at her and then at me. “Yes, Luna, thank you,” he says as he takes me by the hand.

“Who’s Ray?” I ask, I think I know but I want him to tell me and introduce me.

“He’s my wolf, or the wolf side of me. I’ll introduce you sometime, he is very eager to meet you.” Butterflies swirl about my tummy when he looks at me. He mesmerises me. How can someone as decent as Max like someone like me?

Salma surprises me by hugging me farewell too. “Thanks for keeping me company tonight, Melanie. I won’t forget this.”

Max and I wait outside the clinic. It’s cold because it is the dead of night, but the fresh air feels fantastic after being cooped up inside since my accident.

“You believe me now, then?” he asks. Looking into his eyes, I nod. “And about the mate bond and how I feel about you.”

He steps closer to me. “Max…” He pushes my hair back behind my ear and cups my cheeks with his warm, calloused hands. I could just melt into his embrace, leave my past behind and start afresh with Max, but the thought is so enticing, it scares me. “I just need time. I think I do want this, but everything is happening all so fast and unexpectedly. I’m scared of messing it up.”

He gives me a short, soft nod of the head to show he understands. “That’s okay, we have all the time… but I want to k!ss you, Honey. Can you spare me one k!ss for now?”

My breath catches in my throat as I slowly nod. Max smiles at my response before he pulls me closer to him. His body is hot and hard against mine, and when he runs his hands up my neck to my face, my body reacts almost instantly. He leans down and k!sses me, but it’s not the soft and sweet k!ss that I expect. This is a hot and demanding k!ss, a carnal k!ss. This is the s3xiest k!ss I have ever experienced. A little m0an escapes from me, a sound I didn’t even know I was capable of.

He pulls away from me all too soon and I want to sulk like a child. “Does that make you want more, Honey?” In the past I would have been coy, I would have pretended to not want anything, but I want to be completely honest with Max.

I nod to him and to my delight, he k!sses me again. This time I match him, stroking his tongue back with my own and holding him closer to me by wrapping my arms around his neck. He nibbles and tugs on my bottom lips before pulling away once again.

“I’m just asking for a chance to show you how good we could be together. For an opportunity to show you how I could treat you like a goddess. So I can give you a snapshot of how a life with me would be. What the prospect of us becoming one and of how hot and fulfilling it would be for both of us. I want it all with you Melanie. Don’t forget it, because I won’t. Not after that k!ss.”

I continue to stare at him wide-eyed.

“One more k!ss?” he asks me and I nod more eagerly this time. This k!ss, I savour. I thread my fingers through his hair and don’t object when he slips his hands down my body and grabs my as*s.

A cough interrupts us, and I jump away from Max like he’s on fire.

“Alpha, I’m sorry, did you need me?”

Aiden stands there with a grin on his face. It’s so embarrassing that he caught us, I’m sure the capillaries in my face are bursting with shame.

“No, Gamma Max, you’re okay, the nurse is getting worried about your mate. I assured her she is perfectly fine with you. It’s good to see you both… getting along so well. Your Luna will be very pleased too.”

I gr0an at Max when Aiden leaves. “That was so embarrassing. We aren’t teenagers, Max, we can’t go around acting like we are.”

Max laughs at me and my objections. “Honey, honestly that was nothing, not by werewolf standards.” Even though I chastise him for k!ssing me in public, I am forlorn when he doesn’t k!ss me again. Max is full of surprises and his ability to k!ss me into a stupor is probably the biggest and most welcome. If he could send my mind to mush with just his k!sses… What else could he do?

Thoughts of Max’s intimate abilities and what werewolf standards are run incessantly through my mind until I finally fall asleep after sunrise.

*** Eva ***

I settle in bed while I wait for Aiden. He should be on his way back to me now, and he is bound to be exhausted. Werewolves have excellent recovery abilities and don’t need to sleep as much as humans, but this has been a very busy time for my mate. I hope he is able to rest.

Aiden walks in and greets me with a massive smile. “Why are you so happy?” I ask. I thought he would be tired and grumpy and in need of TLC, but the man standing in front of me looks positively ecstatic.

“Hello, my gorgeous girl. What’s not to be happy about? My sister is free, my father is gone. Our friend is making a good recovery. I’ve just caught our Gamma and his mate k!ssing the face off each other and now I’m here with the love of my life spread out in my bed.” I smile back at him until my cheeks hurt. If Max and Melanie are k!ssing, there is a good chance he won’t leave the pack to be with her. Perhaps they will stay after all!

“Do you think Max will be staying, then?” I ask him tentatively.

He nods as he removes his clothes, “I reckon he’s already planning on Melanie moving here with us, seeing as he mindlinked me as I walked away to request a bigger apartment.” Aiden is now down to his p*nts again and he strides over to the bed. “I told you Max would win her over.”

I sit up to hug him. I am fond of Max and don’t like the thought of having to find yet another Gamma. “You did, but I like to have something to worry about.” He chuckles in response and leans down to k!ss me.

“You have too many clothes on,” he complains as he pulls my chemise over my head. “I want to see and feel your beautiful body.” My body is already reacting to him, his touch, his scent, his words, his proximity. Everything about Aiden turns me on.

I don’t resist. Sparks erupt across my skin from where he touches me and we make love once again. This time it is sweet and slow and tender. He takes me from behind as we lie on our sides, his hands have free access to every part of me. He cups my bre*asts, plucking my n!pples and rolling them between his fingertips. I m0an and arch against him, begging for more, more and more. His hand then trails down to between my legs. He quickly and expertly finds my sensitive nub and gives me the pressure I need to find fulfilment.

“You’re so wet, baby,” he whispers against my ear as all the sensations combine to push me further and further to the brink. “Go on Eva, my love, come for me.”

He thrusts deeper, faster, and more deliberately, all the while keeping up his assault on my cl!t. He places hot, wet k!sses along my neck that cause my skin to goosepimple. The feeling hits full pitch and my legs quake as the rest of my body splinters apart. “That’s it, that’s it my girl, come for me. You look so beautiful and powerful when you come.” With a final thrust, Aiden comes too.

Once we have cleaned up and properly got ready for bed, we discuss the day, all the things that have been happening and about our day ahead tomorrow. “Are you ready to see your mother tomorrow? Both your father and I will be here, but I’m concerned about the toll it will take on you and on our pup.”

I am concerned too, but I have to do this. I want to do this, and I think I have an ideal way to test the pain and how much I could cope with. “I’ve been worried about it too, and so, I thought I could tell you about my wedding night, about how Ryan treated me that night. I could tell you why it hurts me to think about it, even now. I will be addressing the pain and also testing out how far I can push before it becomes too much. Do you think you could cope with that tonight too, Aiden? I know it’s been a long day for you, so if you want to do this another time, that’s okay.”

He considers my request before he answers. “Are you sure you’re ready for this, Eva?” I nod to him in confirmation. I need to do this before I lose my nerve.

We sit on the floor, I sit in between Aiden’s outstretched legs with my back to his chest, he wraps his strong, muscular arms around me, protecting me. “I feared becoming like my mother. I didn’t want to go through marriage and divorce like hot meals. So, when Ryan proposed, I almost said no. But he knew how to pull on my heart strings and I ended up saying yes. We married at the registry office with our witnesses. I wore a simple white dress, and my mother gave me a posy of white roses. She told me there was no other colour for me because I was so pure.”

I pause to take a sip of water, and to give myself a chance to keep a hold of my composure.

“I knew there was something not right almost as soon as we married. I felt like he was angry with me, or like I had done something wrong. He got drunk and when we got to the bridal suite I changed into my lacy underwear, ready to lose my virginity to my husband, but he couldn’t do it. He was too drunk, and he started to hurl abuse at me, telling me it was my fault. He said I was cold and frigid. I went to bed and cried myself to sleep.”

Aiden rubs my upper arms, and I appreciate the gesture of support as I get to the most difficult part.

“I woke up in the dead of night. The room was pitch black, but I could smell Ryan; well, the alcohol on him, at least. He ripped my nightgown from me, completely ripped it to shreds, and then he tied my hair around his hand, gripping it tightly. And without any warning… he climbed on top of me and took my virginity. He hurt me, and afterwards, he told me I was a woman now.

He told me I would get better at it and that this was what first times were like for everyone.” By the time I finish, my face is wet with my silent tears. Aiden has stiffened and remains silent behind me. “For a long time, I thought that’s what s3x was. And the worse it got, the more I didn’t want to do it, and the more he would call me names for being frigid and cold. Aiden, say something, please.”

I can’t stop the tears. For years, I have held onto the pain and humiliation, and look at how it continues to hurt me. I need him to say something so I know he doesn’t see me differently now that he knows this, that he can still love me, even the broken and weak side of me.

“You are the bravest, strongest and most amazing person I have ever met, Eva. I mean that. How did you get through all that and still remain so sweet and kind?” His strong embrace, his words of praise and comfort gives me the strength to finally confront my fears and pain.

“I was a real-life person, a young woman, and he treated me worse than a dog. I’ve always felt there was something wrong with me, that I was silly to expect or want more. I considered myself foolish for thinking he would have been gentle and considerate of me. It’s only when I met you that I realised that this was the proper way a man treats his partner. It wasn’t me who was asking for too much, it was Ryan and his warped thinking that were the problem.”

I finish talking and I am suddenly overwhelmed by the snaps and twangs of elastic breaking inside me. It’s more painful than the first time, but I’m stronger now too. Sometimes, we don’t know how strong we are until it’s put to the test. I wouldn’t be here today if it hadn’t been for my strength, and for my wolf, my amazing voice within, always guiding me and helping me.

I cry out in pain as more of the manifestation is healed. This time, Lina howls as I cry, both of us needing physical release from the emotional trauma.

Afterwards, Aiden lifts me up on his lap and holds me tightly to his chest. “I’m sorry you went through all that, Eva. He was wrong to treat you that way and I hope now you can see it was never you. There is no rhyme or reason with people like Ryan. I don’t want there to be. The day we start relating to scvm like him is the day we’re all lost.”

His love and support means everything to me. We get back into bed together and my wolfmate strokes my tummy as I fall asleep.

“I used to visualise having a few sons when I thought of the future and my own pups. However, I hope this little one is another girl. I’d like that.”

“Summer would have that best friend we talked about. I don’t mind either way. I just hope I’m able to come out of the cell by the time he or she makes an appearance.”

“If it is a girl, I’d like to call her Coral, after my mother. Would that be okay?” I smile at his sweet gesture.

“Coral… I like that, Coral Goldrick. Future Female Alpha of the Onyx River Pack.”

When I fall asleep, I dream of two little girls playing together. Our little girls.
