“Move your ass, recruit!” Drill Sergeant Moss screams at my buddy and beta-to-be, Nick. “Get your ass up over that Goddess-damned wall!” We are completing ‘The Crucible,’ the 54-hour long hell that all Marines have to go through in order to graduate boot camp. We are in an all-werewolf unit, separate from all the other recruits here on Paris Island, but the males and she-wolves are still separated, just like in the regular bootcamp. Werewolves have a long history in the military and there are several high ranked wolves throughout all branches, some even working in the White House. It’s the only reason that we haven’t been outed, especially since our healing abilities, endurance, and strength are so much different than a human’s. I have seen Bhakti Paribartana, the little she-wolf that handed my ass to me in the middle of biology class nearly two years ago. She was a year behind me in school, but she was so fucking smart that she surpassed me and my classmates and graduated a
1 year later… I have always wanted to be a Marine. My parents found out that they were mates, made friends from packs all over the country, and had some of their favorite stories and adventures during their time in the Marines. They had always told me and my siblings how much they loved their time there. It was the main reason that I wanted to go into the military. It is the branch that most weres go into because of our extensive strength, along with our combat and healing abilities.At the same time, I want to work in the field of medicine. Typically, the Marines don’t train medics. We work with Navy Corpsmen, who become sort of honorary Marines. They are the ones that care for Marines in the field. To become a Marine, I can’t be a medic, and vice versa.But we wolves are in a unique position. We can’t have others knowing who and what we are. And my time in the Corps coordinated with an auspicious time for what I wanted to do. There was a shortage of wolves that wanted to
It took me a long time to get past my kiss with Bhakti. And the resounding slap after. My buddies gave me shit over it for the longest time. But… Bhakti is someone special to me. She has been for years. I’ve watched her for a long time, fascinated by her intellect and her drive. Even as a young pup, there was something special about her. I remember when I was seven and I fell out of a tree. I had been playing hide and seek with several of the other pups and thought that they’d never find me in a tree. I hadn’t expected that the branch would break beneath my weight. I landed badly. Like REALLY badly. I broke my left arm in two places and my left leg, as well as spraining my right wrist and right ankle. Bhakti, who had been hiding in the brush not far from the tree I was in, ran over to me at the sound of the crash and my screams of pain. At the age of six, she took charge and got me to the pack hospital. She had the game called to a halt, sending some of the pups to
I deploy to Fallujah a week after I get my orders. Luckily, my parents and siblings are able to come to say goodbye. This deployment is 13-months, so I’ll be gone for quite a while. My family is understandably concerned. When my parents were in the Corps, there wasn’t major bloody and long lasting war like the one that is happening in Iraq right now. This is going to be a very dangerous mission and it's completely possible that I won’t come back. It seems to affect my dad, in particular. As they are leaving my father pulls me into a long and extremely tight hug. He doesn’t say anything and I barely hear the sobs that begin to rack his body. But I feel them. Right down to my soul, I feel my father’s fear for me. It’s almost like our roles are reversed. I have to calm and comfort my father, letting him know that, while I’m going to be very active in the Corps’s mission throughout my time there, I wouldn’t be near the fighting. I will be treating those that fight, but I wi
I can’t believe that she’s here. That I’m going to spend at least the next year with her. I know that the medics were sent here to help set up the wolf camp a month before us, so maybe I can get the lay of the land from some of them. Actually, that might be a good way to get some alone time with Bhakti. Slow your roll, there, Li. You’re gonna scare the shit out of her with your moon eyes over there. Nick’s voice in my head jars me and I can’t help the glare that I send him, or the sheepish look that I give Bhakti. He’s right, though. I’ve seen her for about five minutes and I’m already thinking of ways to spend time with her. Our last interaction didn’t go quite as well as I wanted it to. My impulsivity and desire to be with her shot me in the foot and got me a slap in the face. I need to back off. Play it cool. I sit on the bed across from Nick, where she directed us to go. She’s scanning over some charts and directing another medic to help her out. It’s obvious that
I wake to pleasure zinging through my core. Lips are attached to my clit, sucking hard, as fingers push into my opening. “Laurel…” I breathe out. My hands go to the back of her head, holding her in place. I pull my legs up and begin to move my hips on her mouth. She curls two fingers inside of me and starts flicking her tongue on my clit to the rhythm that her fingers move. Laurel smiles up at me, her face covered in my wetness. “Good morning, baby.” “Fuck, yeah it is.” I purr, pulling her mouth back to my core. She chuckles as her tongue dances over my clit, the speed of her fingers increasing, the pressure of her finger tips more demanding. “Play with those titties, baby.” Laurel’s words are accentuated by a bite to my clit. I moan, my hands sliding out of her hair and up my body. I cup my breasts, playing with myself as she watches. It makes Laurel hum her appreciation, which makes me moan. I pinch my nipples between my index and middle fingers while continuing to
My birthday is at the very end of August, causing me to be held back a year. My parents didn’t want me to be the youngest in my class, even though I am an alpha. Plus, I think my mother just wanted to keep me at home a little longer. I was her only child until I was in first grade and she wanted to have just one more year where I could be her “baby.” That means that when I did finally go to school, I was the oldest in my class. It made me 19 when I graduated, nearing 20. It meant that I wasn’t in Iraq for long when I turned 21. I was lucky enough that my birthday happened to be on my day off. I got to have a long video chat with my family back home and got two care packages. One was from my family. It was filled with three king sized Snickers bars (my favorite candy), a new razor and shaving cream, pictures from family parties and pack events, air fresheners (thank the Goddess, cause Nick’s feet fucking stank!), playing cards, sunscreen, travel toiletries, and my two person
The scent that I wake up to, mint mixed with cedarwood and bergamot, is the most delectable scent I’ve ever smelled. Comforting and intoxicating and…familiar? Why do I know this scent? Ok, obviously it’s because my mate is someone I know. I’ve smelled this scent my whole life. But I can’t quite place it. Something in the back of my mind is niggling at me, trying to tell me something, but I can’t bring it to the forefront of my brain. And it doesn’t really matter. Nothing does but finding the source of that smell. I jump out of my bed, not caring that I’m wearing a form fitting tank top and extremely short pajama pants, my hair unbound and flowing down my back. It doesn’t matter who sees me like this. I just have to find the source of that smell. I fly out of my house, not caring how much noise that I’m making. I know that I’m waking up the entire household, but I don’t care. The door slams open as I run down the steps at the front of the house. My nose is in the air, sea
Age 21… Charlie closes the door, cackling as Rose leaves after introducing our playroom to us. “I thought that you would have an apoplectic fit with all of the innuendos that Rose kept saying - “ She starts, but I spin her around and push her body into the wall. I kiss her hard and fast, knowing that my erection is digging into her stomach. She moans into my mouth, immediately responding to my touch. The fated sparks bloom over my skin as my hands immediately dip under the hem of her shirt and move across her abs and up to cup her tits. Charlie arches her back, pushing her tits further into my hands and I growl, ripping my mouth away from hers and moving down to her matemark. I suck at the marking of our unity. She screams her pleasure, her nails biting into my shoulders. Growling against her skin, I tell her, “Ever since we walked into the playroom and I saw that sex swing, I couldn’t think of anything else. I need you. Now.” “Yes…” she breathes out. I pick her up, wrapp
Age 21… “Darlings! I’m so excited to see you out and about after the mating frenzy! And we’re going to be designing a sex room, I hear? I love it!” That’s Rose. She’s one of the best designers in our pack. And her special penchant? Sex rooms. Because Rose is part owner of The Sanctuary. And as a mating gift for two of her best clients, she will be designing a room for Zak and I. It’s funny that a petite little she-wolf in her 50s would have this type of hobby, but to each their own. And honestly, the rooms at The Sanctuary were gorgeous. Even the dungeons had class and panache. Textures, hidden places, furniture that doubled as cozy and restraints. And the color palates are gorgeous. If anyone will understand what we need in our own playroom, it’s Rose. “Hi, Rose! It’s so good to see you again,” I say, stepping into her arms for a huge hug. “My dear girl! You are positively glowing! Of course you are. I’ve seen what your mate is packing. I’m surprised you can wal
Age 21… “Zak, dude! Calm the fuck down!” Brandon sounded totally exasperated with me, but he can just fuck right off and I tell him so. “We’ll see how you handle everything the day before you become Beta!” I mutter out of the side of my mouth. I have been bouncing off of the walls the whole day. Tomorrow I’m taking up the mantle as Alpha of our pack and Charlie will finally find out that she’s my mate. I have no doubt in my mind that she is. I’ve always known that she will be. But having to wait for her to be sure is killing me. We’ve been dating since her birthday, just over two months. And honestly, it really isn’t that different from the time that we used to spend together, but now I get to kiss her whenever I want. Though I will never say that to her again, because it was apparently a line from the movie, Sweet Home Alabama. As much as I love Charlie and am willing to do anything for her, I think I might poke my eyes out with a fork if I have to watch that again. She
Age 21… “Charlie, calm the fuck down. You’ll be fine. You’re not doing anything life changing or anything. Just committing the rest of your life to taking care of the pack, ya know,” Devin says and he’s lucky that all I can do is throw a hair clip at him while my mom and Luna Clara are doing my hair and makeup. Lauren is painting my toenails and she also threw one of the toe separators at Dev. “If you’re just going to be a pain in the ass, son, you know where the door is.” “Oh, com’on. I’m just trying to lighten the mood. Look! She’s stopped shaking and now she’s just annoyed at me,” he says, laughing. I see Luna Clara in front of me, biting her lip as she tries not to laugh. And I lose it. I can’t hold back my laughter when Luna Clara is laughing too. “You two are incorrigible,” Mom mutters as she curls my hair, but I see a smile tugging at her lips in the mirror. “Why are you in here anyway, Dev? You’ve gotta go get dressed,” Lauren asks him, cutting her eyes at hi
Age 20… “Charlie,” I moan, opening my eyes and see that her lips are wrapped around my morning wood. Her cheeks hollow and she sucks hard, taking me all the way down her throat and causing my fingers to twine in her hair. “Oh, fuck!” I grit out from between my teeth. She swallows as much as she can with my cock rammed down her throat. It causes her throat to squeeze around me. “Charlie! Baby! That feels so fucking good.” She hums along my cock and I’m lost. I can’t hold back my need for this she-wolf. One of my hands fists in her hair, the other moving to the bed to give me leverage as I bend my knees and begin fucking up into her mouth. My head falls back as I’m thrown into heaven. Her mouth is fucking bliss. It feels so amazing to have her lips wrapped around my cock again. She is the only she-wolf that’s ever been able to take my cock down to the base and it is fucking paradise. My thrusts start slow, allowing us both to get used to the feeling of my cock moving in
19 years old… I wake up to the dom walking out the door. Guess that they are heading out to get the stuff for aftercare. Fuck, my entire body is sore from the restraints, but that was the best sex that I’ve had in my entire life. Whoever this mistress is, I want her again. I’ve never felt so much pleasure from a blowjob. The way that she took my cock all the way down her throat, something that no other she-wolf has ever been able to do. Holy fuck, that was amazing. And then watching her ride me. Those deep brown eyes watching me and the way her heavy breasts swung over me. Goddess, how I wanted to dominate her. I’ve been learning how to be a switch for a little over a year. Sometimes, my alpha needs made me have to dominate my partner. But sometimes all of my alpha responsibilities were too much and I needed to have those choices taken from me. I loved watching this she-wolf dominate me, but now I wanted to feel her beneath me. Maybe I could convince her to do anot
Age 20… “Are you sure this is something that you want to do, Charlie?” Adam asks me. He keeps trying to talk me out of it. Says that it’s really hard for those that truly love to be dominated to become a switch and become the dominant. But something within me is telling me that I need to do it. That my matebond will require it. “I’ve told you, Adam. I think that the Goddess is telling me that my mate and I will need for me to be a switch. Him as well.” I look up at him, fluttering my eyelashes as I rest my head on his chest. “And I’ve only got a year until I can find my mate, my sweet dom. I need to learn as much as I can before that.” He chuckles down at me, placing an affectionate kiss on my forehead. “Well, I guess that takes me out of the running for being your mate, pet. I will be the only dominant in my bedroom” His hand runs up my bare side, moving to the see-through lace of my bra. He takes my nipple between his fingers, twisting and pulling it until I moan.
Age 18… I can’t believe I’m doing this. I can’t believe I’m doing this. I can’t believe I’m doing this. These words repeat over and over in my head as I’m sitting in the client room at “The Sanctuary,” going over the checklist that Dom Adam gave me. It is a week after my 18th birthday, making me an adult in the world of humans and paranormals alike. And my birthday gift to myself is a membership to “The Sanctuary,” a local werewolf BDSM club. Tonight is my first session with my dom and I’m trying really hard to keep myself together. As a werewolf, I have always had a really high sex drive, but once my wolf came at 16, all those plans of saving myself for my mate went out the window. I’m not as strong willed as I thought I would be, especially when I am in love with two of my three best friends and they are constantly in a state of undress around me because of shifting and training. And masturbating and sex toys can only do so much. I’ve been with a few warriors-in-traini
17 years old… Zak! It’s a wailing through the mindlink that wakes me out of a dead sleep. Normally, mindlinks are cut for us when sleeping unless there is an urgency to it, like an attack or a summons from the alpha. But the level in this wail is so painfilled, so desperate, that it breaks through. It takes me a second to realize what woke me, but by then, I’ve already gotten another link. Zak! I need you! It’s Brandon. He’s panicking, sounds like he’s crying. Brandon? Where are you? Are you ok? What’s going on? Questions are popping out a mile a minute, but I’m already jumping out of bed and pulling shorts on. I’m at the waterfall. They’re dead, Zak! Mom and Candy. They’re dead! I fly down the packhouse stairs and run outside. The second I feel the fresh air, I shift. Fuck the shorts. Honestly, fuck everything that isn’t Brandon. I need to get to him as fast as I possibly can. I tear through the forest, making the 20 minute hike in less than 10. I fe
