Several times these past weeks, I have considered knocking on Marc’s door when everyone was asleep. But the thought of Erica held me back. I didn’t know what kind of person she was until Marc confided in me a few days earlier. I knew he was hesitant to approach me. Today, when I saw him smile at Tia and me, something moved in me.I couldn’t help but walk to his room, using dinner as an excuse. Everybody is already at the table. Looking at him in the towel reminded me of our time in the hotel, when we were pressed against each other. I feel a desire I can’t fight any longer.I am on top of him now on the chair, the fabric of my pants rubbing against my skin. My body begins to move as he makes his way deep inside of me.I slide my hair to the side, exposing my neck to him. I know what it means, and I think I am ready now. He looks at me briefly. "Are you sure?" He says, "This can wait." He insists. I keep him waiting for an answer.He lifts my weight on his dick and bites me near my sho
Lisa and I get dressed and head downstairs for dinner with everyone."Hey, bro. Come sit next to me. I made mashed potatoes; Lisa helped me. She cooked everything else."I take a seat next to her, and Lisa sits across from me."Yes. Eat. You are going to need energy. Haha" Ash smiled at me. She always knows what’s happening. It’s hard to hide anything from a witch."Mom. When will you tell us what you and Ash have been planning? When do we get to go out?" Lisa asked."That eager to go out?" Inquired Ash."I am sorry, Ash. I didn’t mean it like that. Your house is lovely. But at some point, we’d have to go back to our lives.""We will. First, we have to wait for you to be ready. Your hunter gene has already kicked in. And now we must wait for the mate bond to kick in."Lisa looked at her in surprise. "You know?""Oh, sweetie." "Don't forget I am a warewolf.""Will I wolf out now, too?""Probably not. The wolf gene has turned recessive due to your hunter genes. Yet once the mate link t
Mom kicked me, and I fell to the ground.Despite my best efforts, I am unable to successfully repel her assault.Over the past four days, all I've done is become wounded and worn out before going back to bed.The cycle continues the next day."Enough, Mom. That’s hurts.""You can complain or learn to defend." She said.I stand up straight.I take a step back to escape being attacked by her as she launches herself at me.She kicked me again, threw me to the ground, and had me pinned down in the split second that followed."Urgh." "Come on now." "You can do this," she insists."I don’t think I can." "Can't you have Marc train me?"I had barely managed to get the words out when I felt incredibly weak in my legs. Unable to move further, I stay in my position and cry in agony.""Sweetie, are you okay?""No.. something… can’t..ahhh…" "Oh no." She exclaimed. It must be the mate bond kicking in, but your hunter gene is suppressing it."Marc. Ash. Tia." She yells for help, carrying me i
It has been three days since Lisa woke up. Ash’s magic has her in an induced coma. Ash warmed me to the fact that there was only a fifty percent chance that my baby would wake up. But those odds were better than her going into a lost battle. I know she would never accept staying at Ash’s forever. I had no other option but to comply with Ash’s plan."The blood stone is the only thing that can control a werewolf and can channel her mating bond." She had told me."A blood stone is lethal for a werewolf," I reminded her."That’s why I am hoping that her hunter half will dominate and protect her. This is our only chance, V."I knew she was right, but my maternal instinct warned me against it. The blood stones empower her hunter identity. She’s only a child. I should never have sent her to the city. Her stubbornness always has me at a loss.Now I am standing in her room again, hoping for her to wake up."Coffee." Marc stretched his arm towards me and handed me the mug."Thanks.""She’s waki
As I recovered, everyone was seated next to me. Their expressions suggested that they had not slept well. How long had they been waiting for me to wake up?I reached out my arm towards Mom, and she quickly grabbed hold of my palm."Rest, sweetie. You need it. I am so glad you are okay.""But what happened?"“For the time being, we had to restrain your abilities with a bloodstone." Ash spoke."Hunters frequently employ bloodstones to weaken monsters. Not that you fit the mold.""I get it. Don’t worry." I assured her."I didn’t know if it would work. But we had to do something." Ash tried to reason."It’s okay. I am fine. Thank you." "Rest for a day or two, and when you are better, we go." Mom announced. "Go where?""Back home," she said."But what about Tobias and his army?""If he brings the war to us, we won’t step back. We may have a fighting chance now. And if he doesn't, then we leave the city and live to go where your dad and I started a life together.""It’s unlikely that Tobia
"We are going to need a car to get out of here." Mom stated the obvious to everyone at the dining table."All our phones are switched off. We can’t have anyone track them. How did we get a car?" asked Tia. "I know a friend’s number. I can use Ash’s phone to call him." Lisa suggested."I don’t have the need for a phone." "I've never needed one," declared Ash proudly."Then, I am going to walk out of here to the nearest public phone and make the call," said Lisa."I will come with you," said Tia."But you need to get some sleep if we are leaving in the morning. Besides, if we all went, it would just attract attention. I’ll be back soon."I answered with irritation, "I'm coming with you. I was certain of the person she was about to phone without a shadow of a doubt. It was intended for Chris. He seemed to be involved in her life in some manner constantly. The thought of the two of them together did not appeal to me. I was aware that I need not worry about her. Yet, I have observed Chris
Marc and I walked beside one another out of the house. It was the first time we had stepped out since we got here. “So you remember this guy’s number by heart, huh?” He said annoyed. “This guy? It’s Chris. And you know him.”“Yes, I remember what’s his face.” I felt a wave of jealousy in me through the mate bond. “You don’t have to be jealous, you know? He had I have been friends for a long time. It has never been anything more.” I tried to assure him.“I am not jealous.” He lied. “Can all werewolves feel the mate bonds like this? Also, you said once you could sense my arousal, is that true for all?”“No. Only the ones with alpha blood. My grandfather was an alpha. Your mother was the daughter of an alpha, so you can I can. The betas and the lower the ranking werewolves can’t feel these things.” He answered as well as he could.“Lisa, this is Chris..”“I told you not to worry about him. I trust him. And you shall too.” I tried to distract him again what questions. “All this must
I waited for Chris to answer the phone after hearing it ring on the other end. But with every second that passed, Marc's agitation increased. This possessive-jealous behavior was truly grating on my nerves.I heard Chris’s voice say, "Hello.""Hey, Chris. It’s me L...""Lisa? Wow. I have been going crazy looking for you. Are you okay? Are you safe? Your phone is turned off. You aren’t in your apartment. And what is it with Marc—he has been missing too? The employees are instructed not to worry because you and he are on some business trip, it would seem. I don’t believe a word of this sh*t.""Calm down, worry-boy. I am fine." I assured him. I knew that he was going to need more information. "I am with Marc. But it’s not a business trip. Let’s speak when we meet.""Where are you?" I will come right now."About that, yes." Would it be possible for you to walk a little, make sure no one is following you, and get someone else’s car? "Avoid phone calls, and avoid your car because they can
“Someone’s on our tail,” Marc whispers to me. We were on our way to the house when Marc noticed a car following us. “Speed up,” I told him calmly, trying not to scare Tia. Before we could react or plan, a car came out from the side of the road and hit ours. Marc lost control and we hit a tree. Damn. We are surrounded. Four men come out of the car that just hit us and four from the one that followed. I know Tobias sent them. The battle rules stop him from attacking Lisa or the house but not us out in public. I’d be kidding if I didn’t see this coming, but we can’t let him think we are weak.“Tia, Marc, are you guys okay?” I ask and see that they are both slightly bruised but alright. We quickly get out of the car and Marc turns instantly. “Take Tia back to the house. Keep her safe.” “But,”“No buts. I got this, she’s too young to fight, you know it. I’ll hold them off.” “No. We are leaving together.” Marc asserted nudging Tia to hide behind him and preparing to fight.“I said, g
I open the door to my apartment in a haste and make my way to my bed, dropping, almost instantly, on the bed. I look at the ceiling and all I see is her face. This isn’t the time for all that. She has a massive battle coming up that could cost her life. She is with Marc, who if I take her word is a werewolf. There is no way I could get into a fight with him and win. I have been around her for years and nothing. He waltz into her life for a few months and now he is in her life, her bedroom and her heart. Maybe I should tell her how I feel about all this? But what happened today could so easily be the construct of my mind, I contemplate loosing her altogether."Behave, or it'll be the end of you."Marc’s word ring in my ears and I find myself both terrified and angry at the same time. Jealousy and frustration of being powerless drive me crazy and strip my clothes and step into the shower for the second time today. I slam my hand hard against the wall again. It feels like I am back to
I can’t believe I let his name slip out like that. I am with Marc. There is no doubt that I have strong feelings for him but this moment right now has taken me on a tempting journey and I feel like I need to finish it. I can’t do that to Marc. I have a lot going on right now, I decide against confusing Chris and complicating things further. Maybe I am mistaken that he wants me. He has never shown any interest in me romantically. I have never given it any thought either. Our friendship was never subjected to any romantic tests, but then why now? I decide to put an end to whatever this is, and get up from the couch.“I am sorry. I, .. I need some water. I’ll be a minute.” I barely get the words out. To my surprise Chris holds my wrist and pulls me to him. I am now on his lap. He brushes my hair with his palm and pulls it at the back of my head, pushing me with his hand towards him. Our faces have never been this close. Has he always been this masculine, I notice the muscles in his arm
I am a very focused man. I listen carefully, understand what I’ve heard and am always aware of my surroundings. But looking at Lisa sitting next to me, has my senses disoriented. I know she is speaking, but I am barely able to fathom the words. My only desire at this moment is to have my moving lips crash with mine. I have a pressing need to drink the words out of her mouth and stop when I have screaming my name. I have always been careful to not make her uncomfortable. She could never guess my feelings for her because I was always carefully hiding them. I think there comes in point in every person’s life when everything they keep buried in the deepest corner of their heart propels out with maximum force. I am observing her as she bites her lip. Hold on a moment? Did she just bite her lip? I feel a tension growing in my pants. Her eyes are now locked with mine and both a second both of us find ourselves without words. I look at her neck and want to kiss it. To my surprise, she brus
I took my time getting clean as I reflected on the workout. Since we emerged from the woods, I have sensed the wolf being defeated by my inner hunter. Mom assured me that given the large number of werewolves in our area, it is only normal. My innate desire to find safety coincides with an inclination to oppose other animals in conflict. The wolf in me restrains me, or at least makes an effort to. I applied soap to the area of my arm that I had previously bruised when defending myself from Mom. My previous night's restlessness had suddenly returned. After washing my hair, I went to the bathroom mirror. I wonder how Mom felt growing up in such a lovely home.I blew my hair dry and wore a white T-shirt with shorts. I was on my way to the kitchen to get a glass of water when I met Chris. "Hello, you!" I laughed merrily. Although I have a very awkward social life, Chris has always made me feel at ease."Hey, L." "Have you been waiting for a while? If I had known you would arrive at this
Everything Lisa said to me yesterday is still registering in my mind. She isn't really what we'd call a human, but that doesn't concern me in the least. Knowing that she was honest with me and did not withhold any information makes me feel at ease. I'm taking it easy this morning because I don't have to report to work today. I get into the shower after taking off my clothing. Right now, she is the only thought that I can hear around me.I have to control the ache of wanting to be with her as I feel myself getting hard against the water. She is currently with someone else. I repeat it out in an effort to force myself to accept the truth. My cock stiffens as I continue to think about her. I find myself banging my palm on the wall and come out of the bathroom with a rock-solid erection. Despite the fact that I know she doesn't want me, I can't bring myself to feel any relief when I think about her. I owe it to her as a friend to be there for her. My thoughts keep going back to all the ti
I woke up a little earlier than Lisa and observed how peacefully she slept. She’s got a face with a view. It’s lovely to look at. How I wish we had met under different circumstances, in a different world."Morning," she purred, still sleepy."Go back to sleep," I tell her. "It’s still dark "But we have to start training." She said she was trying to find her determination to leave the comfort of the bed.I moved closer to her and kissed her on the forehead. "How are you feeling now?""I am better." She asserted. "I don't know what got to me last evening. But I am fine now.""Alright then, let’s freshen up and get you battle-ready."Veronica was already up and fidgeting with the coffee maker."Mom?" Veronica looked at Lisa and smiled. "I’ve been trying to get this damn machine to work, but it just won’t budge.""Let me take a look at that." I jumped in."Alright. I will leave you to it. Lisa, why don’t you train with me today? I’ll get changed. Meet me in the garden in five minutes."
I spent a very long time staring at my screen before deciding to text her. I was enraged that I couldn't reach her for weeks and then when I did, she was in danger of dying. I could not bear to witness her suffering. I tried to keep her safe for many years. She had gotten herself into a pickle, and I had been ignorant of it, which was aggravating.Marc. My mind was whirling around that name wildly. He had never looked at Lisa in a way I liked. Even during his wedding, the idiot kept staring at her. He came right after us to the dance floor when I ordered her to get up and move. It was clear that he had the wrong intentions for her. They were together at this point. When did Lisa first feel something for him?I stayed away while she finished her PhD thesis since I didn't want to interfere with her research. I thought that I would finally be able to convey to her how I felt for her—how I had felt for her all these years—now that she had her ideal job and we could work together.I roll
Although I am relieved that Marc and I were able to work things out, I find Marc's persistent jealousy to be annoying. He seems to become enraged every time I mention Chris, whether it be at the dance at his wedding, our meeting in his office, or now. It strikes me as juvenile. The warmth of the hand felt amazing against the cold water that was dripping down my skin. I felt a hand glide up on my back. We have already found an agreement to our argument tonight, so I'm not really angry with him, but for some reason I'm restless right now. I need him to continue because I'm feeling hungry inside, but tonight in particular, I'm more tense than ever."Are you okay?" Marc questions me.I lied and said, "Yes," not understanding what had made me get frustrated. I feel as though something or someone is missing. As Marc chews on my mating mark, I experience an intense tug. He gives it a quick kiss before sucking on it and lightly biting the corners. My thigh muscles tense, and I can feel my
