My skin crawls. I don’t want to answer the door. Ava is naked standing right in front of me. The knocking gets louder. I’m caught up in the moment and the person on the other side of the door is uninvited. My fangs burst through my gums. I can feel my vision change. My claws launch out of my fingertips. The soap drops from my hands. Ava looks half worried but I’d never hurt her.
I raise my hands to her waist. She slides the shower curtain open. I see my half wolf self in the mirror. “Holy fucking shit.” I can’t believe what I’m seeing. There’s no hair growth. No wolf snout. My eyes are glowing so bright I imagine they can be seen in the dark. The knocking on the door makes me growl. I didn’t know I could even do that. “I kind of like it.” She puts her finger on my nose, “Stay here. I’m going to answer the door.” Ava puts on a robe.
When the fear of who could be at the door kicks in, I become human again. Or whatever I am. What am I? Am I even human? I don’t even know.
The only thing I’m sure of right now is my need to protect Ava. I throw a robe on and peek out the bathroom door. “Who is it?” I ask her. “Aster it’s just a housekeeper. I told you to stay.” The housekeeper hands her extra shampoo and conditioner. “I’m not a dog.” She laughs, “You sure about that?” Wolves and dogs are not the same species. “I’m messing with you!” She yells.
There’s still a lot of this wolf shit that I’m not sure of. I hate that she can hear me but yet I can’t hear anything she’s thinking. That doesn’t seem fair. “Oh I think it’s plenty fair Aster. I can’t do magic.” She pushes me back into the bathroom. We climb into the shower together and take turns washing our hair. I like it better when we don’t speak. The eye contact is enough foreplay for me.
I can’t control myself any longer. Ava get on the bed. She does a double take to see if I said that out loud or not. My inner voice is getting stronger. She crawls up onto the bed and sits on her knees. I join her. Our eyes meet. I’m so close to her that I can feel her breath on my lips. I kiss her the way I feel she wants to be kissed. Slowly. Passionately.
My hands find the perfect spot below each of her ears. I grab fistfuls of her hair and pull her head backwards. I put my tongue on her collarbone and lick up to ear and kiss her neck softly. Her breathing gets heavier. I let go of her hair and lay her down on the bed. My mouth finds it’s way down to the center of her chest. I squeeze her breasts and position my knees in between her legs.
I’m going to devour you.
Her back arches as I put my fingers inside of her. She’s so wet. I need to taste her. She puts her hands through my hair as I bury my face into her. The taste of her juice makes my insides begin to throb. I finger her and suck her clit at the same time. The slow rocking rhythm is making her body quiver. She pulls my hair as she moans. Cum for me Ava.
I finger her harder and rub her clit with my other hand. Just as she begins to squirm and squeal I put my mouth on her again. “Here it comes.” She screams. Ava squirts all over my face. I feel her insides squeeze my fingers with every pulse. Her legs are shaking. We lock eyes and share a laugh.
Ava flips over on top of me. Instantly I flash back to the car where she was straddling me and choking me. “Did you like that?” She could see the images that flashed through my mind. Yes. She slaps me across the face so hard. I wasn’t ready. She bites my neck so hard it makes me scream. Ava lifts herself off of me and kneels by my side. She pushes my jaw to the side so she can grab me by the hair. I flip my body face down on the bed.
She pulls my hair raising my body onto my hands and knees. Ava grips my throat with her left hand and begins to finger me with her right. First one, then two. I feel her thumb pop into my ass. She adds a third and finger fucks me until I cum. I can barely scream because she’s choking me. It’s painful in the best of ways. She lets go of my neck and pushes me down onto the bed.
I roll onto my side trying catch my breath. She opens my legs and turns her body around. Ava straddles my face and eats me at the same time. She rubs and sucks me off so good I cum right into her mouth. I grab her hips and bounce her up and down on my face. She fingers me again. I’m not sure I can take anymore. I try to reach down and pull her arm away.
That just makes her become even more rough with me. I dig my fingers deep into her as I take her into my mouth again. She arches and tries to move. I put my hand on her back to hold her steady as I make her squirt again. Fuck me. Ava rubs me off so hard I have to throw her body to the side. I roll over to breathe. She holds me from behind and places her hand on my chest.
The energy from her hand relaxes me almost instantly. I feel like I’m dreaming. “Maybe you are.” She softly whispers in my ear.
Ava is asleep in my arms. I carefully free myself from her. I’m feeling disoriented and sore. Looking in the bathroom mirror I can see that it clearly wasn’t a dream. There’s a few scratches and light bruising on my neck. I sit in the tub and let the shower water fall on me like a rain storm. For a moment I get lost in the thought of this being some kind of forever. I shuffle my tarot cards on the coffee table. My heart thinks it’s possible for me to have some kind of a happy life with Ava. The World and the Ten of Cups. I shake my head. It’s like these cards are mocking that very thought. They show me harmonious happiness along with achievement and completion. If only life could truly be that easy. I watch Ava sleep for a few minutes. She’s absolutely everything I never knew I wanted. I know I could love her. There’s a cosmic connection here for sure. Some people never know a love like this. Ava could leave tomorrow but yet ten years from now if I saw her, I know I’d feel the same.
The thought of being a slave doesn’t sound appealing at all. I can’t believe that werewolves choose to do this willingly. I’m driving angry. I need to slow down. Ava stares out the window with her headphones on. I don’t want to be a pack slave if that really means I’d just be passed around. Sounds more like I’d just be the pack slut. I’m sure some girls would kill for that. Not me.Ava says I could be her slave, but would the pack be okay with that? Would they cut me a break and just allow me to be at the hands of the gamma. What if the Alpha doesn’t approve of me? Lots of questions are running through my head and I need them to be answered but I’m not even sure I’d get the whole truth out of Ava. There’s something about her that just seems so selfish.I’m head over heels for her, but I fear that she’s not exactly who she says she is. Or maybe that’s just how I feel because I have major trust issues. It’s probably because she can hear everything I’m thinking, and I can’t hear her at a
My anxiety is so bad that I feel like I’m going to throw up. “Aster close your eyes and breathe with me.” Ava takes my hands into hers. We’re standing at the end of a dirt road. She inhales slowly through her nose and exhales through parted lips. I take in a few deep slow breaths.My boots crunch through the gravel. Spectacular rays of orange and purple bathe clouds in color. This is a beautiful location for the packhouse. We’re about ten minutes away from the coast and thirty to the city. I like what I’m seeing but the energy is off. She’s attempting to sneak me into the packhouse slowly. I think about running back to my car to escape. But I breathe in my fear instead.“Welcome to The Barking Moon.” Ava says majestically. I throw a salty stare her way, “You didn’t mention a bar.” She smiles, “You never asked.” I could go for a drink. Ava douses me in her perfume. “What the fuck are you doing?” She sprays my whole body, “I don’t want any of them to pick up your scent.” I’m lost, “Do I
I’ve never believed something so complicated before. It sounds insane. He doesn’t even really know me. “I know enough.” Reed speaks but it’s not just his words that I hear. His soul is speaking to me on another level. I see his eyes glowing amber in the moonlight. I’m not as scared as I should be. There’s an instant trust between us. I can feel his energy in a way that I can’t with Ava.His brows furrow, “Ava?” Shit! I carefully say, “I’m still not used to everyone being able to hear my thoughts.” Reed looks to the moon in deep thought. I peer down to my feet trying to focus on the rain. Images from the past few days flash through my mind. “You can’t be with her anymore.” He looks down at me.“What do you mean? You don’t own me. You can’t tell me who I can and can’t sleep with.” He backhands me across the face, “I just did.” The pain I feel from the blow is more than just physical. All of my emotions are raging. I’m anxious and disappointed. I also want to knock him out. “Go ahead!” H
I’m chasing Ava through the forest. Why is she running from me? “Ava!” I yell to her. She runs even faster. Sprinting at this speed seems effortless. The earth feels so good under my feet. I look down and realize that I must have fully shifted. She’s running from me because I’m trying to kill her.I wake up screaming in a cold sweat. Reed snaps up and scoops me up into his arms. I’m just sobbing uncontrollably. Seeing myself like that scares me half to death. I’m not a killer. I would never do anything to hurt Ava. She must be wondering where I am. What if she thinks I left?She knows exactly where you are.How is he so certain? “The last time I saw her was before I stepped outside for air. I need to go talk to her.” Reed grabs me by the hand as I stand up, “Don’t bother. She’s pissed at you right now.” How would he know that? Oh that’s right, “You can all hear each other but I can only hear your thoughts. How is that fair?” He looks puzzled, “Why is that?” He asks. “I guess I’m just
Alpha Wes has deep green eyes with speckles of black and yellow. Reed and I stand together in the the middle of his stone chamber. Why did I agree to enter this man’s basement? It’s beyond me. Maybe this is where he sacrifices people. Shit. What if he can he hear me? Can you hear me? Alpha Wes says nothing. Either he’s got quite the poker face or he can’t hear my thoughts.Aster stay calm it’s going to be okay.I look at Reed. Does Alpha Wes know that we hooked up? Reed nods. I roll my eyes. Great. That’s just what I need. This guy is just gonna think the worst of me. I’m just some whore from the streets to him. Now he’s gonna think I’ll make a great pack slave for sure. Might as well just break out the shackles already.Aster!The energy in this room is dark. I nonchalantly move my eyes all around. I’m looking for my escape route. “What’s your name?” Alpha Wes is just a few feet in front of me. “Aster.” He steps a foot closer, “Where are you from?” Breathing in slowly, “Massachusetts
Reed is visibly upset with me. “I’m sorry.” I put my hand on his face. “You should have told me.” He turns away from me. “Ava told me not to. She convinced me that the pack would want me dead if they found out.” He looks at me and then back to the sky, “She’s right.” I walk towards the bar with fear in my eyes. “There’s only so much I can do to protect you Aster.”Instead of going in I walk around the side of the packhouse. “Where are you going?” Reed asks me. “The ocean.” I say as I head to my car. “But Alpha Wes just told you to work With Ava in the bar.” I look back to Reed, “I need to clear my head. The last twenty-four hours were a lot. I’m going.”Ava walks out of the back door. She looks at me and then to him, “Hey Reed you think you can cover for me for a couple of hours?” He looks confused, “Why where are you going?” Ava smiles, “To the beach.” My stomach just flipped. Reed looks at me. “It’s okay. We have some catching up to do.” He looks at us like we’re both insane, “Whate
Staring out into the deep blue sea. Thunder clouds begin to form in the sky. “Alpha Wes is my father?” Ava stands tall next to me, “Yes.” I question her, “You’re absolutely sure of that?” She nods once more, “Luna Bernie knew your mother when she was with Alpha Wes.” I’m trying to wrap my mind around all of this knowing I have to return to the packhouse. Pretending I know nothing.“Alpha Wes brought your mother here to meet his father. At the time Gavin was the Alpha. He knew your mother was a witch right away. He could smell it.” I recall, “My mother wasn’t a witch.” Not that I can remember. “She was born a witch. Clea didn’t have to practice magic. She had the blood of a Harlow.” I’m a Harlow too, “How did Alpha Wes not smell it on me?”Ava shrugs, “That I don’t know. But we should start heading back before they realize we’re gone.” She turns to walk back to the car. I grab her by the wrist to swing her back to me. “Is there anything else that you’re hiding from me?” Ava pulls her h
