The Caveman Act

last update Last Updated: 2024-10-02 19:04:13

I’d hardly sat down when Luke burst back through the door of HQ. “Is Dr Bauer ready to go, Luke?”

“Yes, alpha. She has everything to start working on something to counteract the psychoactive components and even the cyanide, but she really needs the samples to fully get up and running.”

“Thanks, Luke.”

“Just doing my job, alpha,” he gave me a small smile. “I know it’s not my place… but I can smell him all over you.”

I sighed, closing my eyes. “If he’d had his way, it’d be stronger.”

“Wait, what?”

“He wanted me to mark him, Luke.”

“But you didn’t?”

“I said no. One problem at a time. I can’t start working out what to do about Nathaniel whilst we’re in the middle of orchestrating a hostile takeover and dealing with a biological threat.”

“I understand that, Effie. But what did he say?”

“He said he understands, but I know he’s hurt.”

“That explains the look he gave me. He thinks you rejected him because of me.”

I sighed. “I told him it was too soon and I needed to work out what I was going

    I woke up to an empty bed about four hours later. I stretched, letting my toes curl into the cotton sheets. Nathaniel’s side was still warm, he couldn’t have been gone long. I rolled out of bed, shrugging on a nightie and heading for the coffee machine in my living room.And there, sitting on the sofa drinking coffee, was Nathaniel. My mate. I never thought I’d be saying that one.“Good afternoon, sleepyhead. I made you coffee.”“Music to my ears,” I smiled. I sank down into the chair next to him, sipping that beautiful cup of brown happiness. “Let me take you for lunch, Effie. Before you head over to the club.”“It’s a date. I just need to have a shower, get dressed, and then we can head out whenever.”“Shower quickly, Effie, can’t promise I won’t join you otherwise.”I giggled… giggled. Nearly 300 years old, and somehow this delicious wolf in front of me has me giggling like a schoolgirl.“You could just join me, Nathaniel,” I teased as I walked into the bathroom.“You don’t have t

  • The Wolf and the Succubus   A Tiny Dose of Normalcy

    By the time I got to the club, I was nearly two hours late. Coming through the door that late with Nathaniel in tow, both of us stinking of sex and each other, was always going to prove to be a distraction to everyone working.They weren’t even subtle. Everyone turned to face us. I sighed, rubbing my face. This was going to be a long day. “Back to work, people. Not long until we open.”On the way up the stairs to my office, I met Luke’s gaze. He looked between me and Nathaniel, who was just a step behind me, before sighing, looking dejected and walking away.Nathaniel skipped a couple stairs to catch up, his hand ending up on my back. “We knew he wouldn’t be happy, Effie.”I nodded. “I know, I just feel like I’ve been kicked in the chest all of a sudden.”“That’s the old bond, Effie,” he whispered. “It will have left a thin thread because he wanted it so much, but now he knows we mated, it’s going to have finally snapped completely. Because it was you that technically broke it, you we

    9pm finally came. It felt like it had taken forever.I was already sitting downstairs at the bar with Nathaniel when Luke opened the doors to the crowd. It sounded like it would be a busy night. That many sweaty, horny bodies pressed together is just what my succubus needs.I sighed as I started to feel it. My succubus was starting to relax as the tension went out of my body.“Effie…” Nathaniel whispered in my ear. I turned to face him. “Your eyes, they’re blood red.”I nodded. “Succubus, remember.”He looked confused. “If your succubus can feed off the lust here, why couldn’t she feed off me, us, last night?”“I shut her out,” I whispered.Nathaniel looked like he’d protest.“I had to, Nathaniel. In time, it won’t be necessary. But the mark has to be done without you being under the influence of a succubus call. The mark had to be between your wolf and mine, it could not be a three-way with my succubus.”“You talk about your succubus as if she’s her own person?”“She is, to a degree.

    I stood, walking towards the door, pulling it open. “You two might as well come in here so we can finish up this conversation.”They both nodded silently, following me into the office. I motioned for them both to sit down as I sunk into the third armchair next to the fireplace. “Nathaniel, are you following so far?” I asked. “You need to know what you’re getting involved in.”He nodded.“Good. Luke, you can continue.”“Yes, alpha,” he nodded in my direction, before turning back to Nathaniel. “The original Serene not only created werewolves, but is the mother of The First Ones, the first vampires. Our Serene, Ophelia, has the same abilities that the original had, but has more than enough power to do the opposite. Really, she is a descendant of the original, but so much more.”He paused, eyes closing. “She is the heir to both worlds. If the powers that be find out that she could easily turn their worlds upside down, Ophelia will be in a lot of trouble. That is why the name change was n

    Luke stepped back towards me, face uneasy as his gaze flicked between my eyes and Nathaniel’s. “Luke, please, I need you here. I need you to hold me.”Nathaniel tensed up besides me. “Effie, what do you need? What can we do to get you through this?”“Now I’ve let my guard down, I don’t know how to describe it, but Artemis needs you, Nathaniel, and Athena needs you, Luke.”“Effie, your eyes. Your left is red, your right is black.”“Swap sides,” I growled. “Nathaniel on my right. Luke, please, my left.”“We’re here, Effie. We’re here. Tell us what you need,” Luke’s voice was pleading.I nodded, eyes falling closed. I don’t know what I needed, but even just the two of them with me helped calm Athena and Artemis.I sighed in relief; Artemis was calm. She still radiated power, so much raw power, but she was calm. We were content. I opened my eyes again, glancing up at Nathaniel and Luke.Their eyes were wide. “Artemis… her eyes are glowing, they’re closer to green than your usual black,” N

    “I’ll give you two some privacy,” Nathaniel whispered, kissing my forehead before turning and heading back out of the room. “I’ll keep everyone away from you.”“Nathaniel?” Luke called after him. “Thank you.”Nathaniel gave him a small smile. “As long as you do the same for me from time to time, we’ll be golden.”The second the door shut behind Nathaniel, Luke’s hands were all over me. Athena purred. He felt like home.Luke dropped to his knees in front of me, his mouth crashed down on mine, hard. I gasped as his hands squeezed my breasts through the fabric of my dress and bra. My back arched, pushing them harder into his hands. His mouth swallowed my moans as he pinched my nipples, my hands digging into his shoulders.He slipped his arms underneath me, standing up and wrapping my legs around his waist. I groaned as I felt his very firm erection pressing against me, the pressure increasing as he flexed his hips.He’d hardly touched me and yet I could already feel my orgasm approaching

    Well, that was unequivocal.Luke and I were still laying on the table, neither of us having the strength or desire to get up yet. Luke was still giggling, and when I met Nathaniel’s gaze, he was still smirking.It took more than an hour for us all to come down from that power high. The world could have been ending in the background, and none of us would have cared. It was possible none of us would have noticed.“Right, people. We can’t lay here all night. Things to do, problems to solve, coups to plan.”Luke’s hand teased along my stomach, dancing along the underside of my breasts. “Who says we can’t?”I heard movement, looked up, and suddenly Nathaniel was standing over me. He’d even lost his shirt and jacket.“I have to say I agree with Luke, Effie. Who says we can’t?” Nathaniel’s voice was low, gravely. I sat up, leaning back on my hands, my back arched, breasts pushed forward, my gaze flittering between Nathaniel and Luke. “Well then, what do you two propose?”Their response was

    If I’d known just how much of a power boost we’d experience, the noise would have been the least of my concerns.Once we’d all stopped panting, had cleaned up and gotten dressed again, I noticed something was wrong in my office. Very wrong.Every single item of glass had smashed. Furniture had fallen over. There was even a hole in one of the walls with the sculpture that used to be on the coffee table sticking out of it.I turned on my heel, eyes wide. What the hell happened?!“Was there somehow an explosion that we didn’t notice?” Nathaniel whispered. Luke chuckled, but that chuckle was just covering up concern.“Did you two feel it? The power boost?”They looked at each other, as if unsure of what to say. “It came from you, Effie. When you orgasmed and dragged Luke and I under with you,” Nathaniel paused, holding his hands up, in response to my less than impressed expression. “That’s not a complaint, Effie, I promise. But either way… the power exploded out of you. I don’t know how e

  • The Wolf and the Succubus   Queen?

    We all lay in a pile of sated limbs, letting our bodies calm and breathing return to normal.Of course the joy of being in heat meant that I’d be incredibly horny and in pain again within an hour, but hey. What can you do?That’s why newly mated couples typically end up locking themselves away for a few days when she goes into heat for the first time after mating. It’s intense, really intense. And I mated with two wolves in quick succession. One of which is an alpha and the other probably could be.“How are you feeling, my Queen?” Luke asked, voice low.“Where has this whole my Queen thing come from, you two?”They both shrugged. “After the most recent power boost, it just felt right,” Luke replied, like it was the most natural thing in the world.“Do you agree, Nathaniel?”“Indeed I do, Effie.”Before I could think about it any more, a jolt of pain ran through me, pulsing through my core, leaving me soaked and ready to go again.As soon as they heard me whimper in pain, Luke and Nath

    I couldn’t stop my core clenching around Luke at the thought of both of them taking me at the same time.Luke smirked. “I assume you’re on board then, my Queen?” I nodded, unable to stop squirming. I heard Nathaniel’s steps behind me, but they stopped again before he reached us.I could feel the question in the air before he even asked it. “Top drawer,” I whispered. That drawer was full of toys and lube. What more could a girl need?Luke set me back down on my feet, taking my hand and leading me towards the bed. He bent down, his mouth crashing into mine. I moaned into the kiss, feeling myself getting somehow even wetter.I suddenly could taste blood; apparently I needed to feed. I must have caught Luke’s lip with my teeth.He pulled back, staring at my eyes. “Have you fed?” he whispered. I shook my head. “Effie… you need to, especially now you’re in heat with two of us as your mates,” he continued, voice frustrated. I closed my eyes, letting my head fall back. I knew Luke was right.

  • The Wolf and the Succubus   Take Off Your Clothes

    I lay on the bed for what felt like an eternity letting my body come back down from that orgasm. By the time my body had calmed enough to talk, Nathaniel was standing over me, rolling a condom on, ready and raring to go.I grabbed his hands, pulling him down on top of me before he could react. He ended up on top of me, his hands pinning mine above my head, his cock pressing into my entrance.I couldn’t help but rotate my hips, begging him to sink inside me. He smirked, his mouth going to my neck to lick over his mark, my body squirming beneath him.He pressed harder against me, but kept on making a point of not letting even the head of his cock enter. I cried out beneath him, tilting my hips up towards him. “Nathaniel, please,” I moaned and squirmed, trying to break his hold on my hands, trying to get him inside me, anything. Anything to break the tension.He smirked, leaning down to whisper in my ear, still just letting the head of his cock rub against me. “Please what, my Queen?”Q

  • The Wolf and the Succubus   Getting Hot in Here

    Both Nathaniel and Luke’s faces were tense. They were biting their lips, desire in their eyes as they watched my every move. They were both on edge and ready to pounce, like they would have me bent over the desk before I could even open my mouth, regardless of whether people were still in the room.This couldn’t be happening.Fives had started stalking towards me, but he just about stopped himself, leaning on the desk. His knuckles were going white as he tried to force himself to breathe through it. Fives wasn’t mated, and unmated wolves were always going to struggle when someone went into heat, regardless of who it was. It just happened to be especially problematic with higher ranking wolves… and I was now their alpha.Even Chris felt it. His jaw was tight, his vampire bleeding into his eyes as he stared at me. His normally stoic expression was full of lust, and I wouldn’t have been surprised if there was a tent in his trousers too.Having noticed their expressions, Luke and Nathanie

  • The Wolf and the Succubus   Let’s Fix This Thing

    True to her word, Dr Bauer had got as many hands on deck as she could find by the time we got back, but I’m sure six naked wolves and a vampire carrying another six naked but unconscious wolves between them was a sight to behold.Once our five unconscious friends that needed to stay that way were in beds and handcuffed to stop them escaping, Dr Bauer went around setting up an IV for each of them giving them something to keep them under, whilst also hopefully staving off starvation. Ali was settled in a bed being checked over by three of Dr Bauer’s assistants, looking for any immediately noticeable problems, and setting him up with an IV to combat the wolfsbane in his system.Within no time at all, she had Nathaniel stitched up and Lyla dosed up with an oral antidote for wolfsbane poisoning. Once the two of them were done, Dr Bauer shooed us all out of her lab, with the promise that she’d give me a call when she had any updates on any of our unconscious people.We all trudged back up

    Chris and I burst through the door at the same time as Nathaniel, Luke and Fives on the other side of the complex.I had one hand on the gun at the small of my back, the other hovering over the sheath at my thigh. I’d rather not shift unless I had to, I’d left in too much of a hurry to bring spare clothes.“Well, well, well, Ophelia,” Edward’s voice came from around the corner. “It’s good to see you.”“No it’s not, Edward. Now, you can either give me all of my people back, or, I can force your hand. Which is it?”“I’m afraid I can’t allow that, Ophelia,” Maximillian growled as he came around the corner.“Try to stop me.”“I’m not going to try to stop you, but there are a couple individuals that will, ones you might recognise.”Aaron and Scarlett, call signs sierra three and four. Edward and Maximillian had apparently got their filthy hands on the two of them.The two of them stepped out of the shadows, their eyes glassy. They were both covered in blood, their clothes torn. They must h

    On the way to the garage, I rounded up Fives and Chris. Both were nearly ready to go, as they always were, Fives even had a bag in the garage with spare clothes. No birthday suit adventures for Fives.Credit where it’s due, Nathaniel and Luke were actually there ready to go when Fives, Chris and I reached the garage. The four of them nodded their greetings, jumping into the passenger seats whilst I settled in the driver’s side. There was a fight for the front passenger, because apparently both Luke and Nathaniel wanted it.“We don’t have time for this!” The power was crackling in the air again, Fives and Chris both winced against it. “Fives, you’re up front. The rest of you in the back.”I parked up a mile away from the packhouse. “We’re on foot from here. Nathaniel, Luke and Fives, go through the tunnel under the packhouse. Wait for my signal before coming through into the basement. Chris, you’re with me. We’re going in the front door.”“You can’t go in the front door, Effie.”“I ca

    Hours passed and still no updates from Lyla. Whether that was good news or not depended on who you were talking to.I was sceptical; Lyla has always been very good at checking in, and I expected she would have done once reinforcements reached her. We’d heard from the reinforcements once they reached the forest, but that had been nearly two hours ago.Luke and Nathaniel, however, believed it was good. If they were in trouble, we’d know about it already, so they probably just wanted to get the job done and come home.Out loud, Luke may have been agreeing with Nathaniel, but I could feel through the mate bond that he didn’t believe that for a second. My usually stubborn, strong-willed and confident head of security was nervous, and it took a lot for him to be nervous. He’d worked with Lyla for years, so he agreed that normally, she would have checked in by now.I was going to have to try to reach her, that was all there is for it. “Sierra one, how are we doing?”Radio silence.

    I sent Luke and Nathaniel straight down to the gym and shooting range when we hit HQ, before calling the rest of Sierra and Dr Bauer up to meet me. “Okay people. So, sierra one, two, three and alpha six are all staking out the centre of the territory. We’re trying to find out what the hell Edward and Maximillian are up to, and what we can do to fix it. Two members of the team are incapacitated and currently MIA. At the moment, we don’t know if they’ve been killed or are under Maximillian’s control, both are possible. All we know at the moment is Lyla has lost contact with two of her people. I need you all to head out there as backup for Lyla. Dr Bauer, can you please brief these guys on the samples you need?”I called Lyla back on the radio whilst Dr Bauer was briefing the team. “Sierra one, how are we doing?”“No change, alpha one.”“Roger that. Sierra four through six are currently being briefed and will be out of the door in a couple of minutes. Let me know if anything changes.” I
