Meeting My Alphas

A Dip In The Pool

Sophie's POV 

The elevator ride down was almost anti-climactic. Leyla held my hand gently and traced the same patterns with her hand she had the first day we met. I could tell she was excited to get into the water, but she seemed a little bit distracted and there were no stolen kisses. No-one interrupted the elevator on the way down and the ride was relatively silent. 

Getting down to the bottom floor, the smell of chlorine hit my nose and my wolf whined in protest for a second. Modern hygiene might make it easier for our human forms to swim, but strong smells hurt our nose. It only took a second to adjust however and then the cool air in the basement corridor leading down to the pool hit me and cooled my skin. I hadn't realized how hot I was feeling until this happened, but now that I was cooler I couldn't help but bask in the feeling. 

Closing my eyes and letting Leyla guide me with my hair thrown back, I didn't realize that we had made it to the door and Rugal until I heard his deep laugh. Opening my eyes I met his piercing blue gaze, his eyes crinkled around the edges as they took in my childlike wonder at the cool air. I would have been annoyed, but the man was a vision in a swimsuit, his tanned skin stretched tight across washboard abs, faded scars patterned across his ribs from fights in the past. My eyes trailed lower to his well defined pelvic V, blushing when I saw that his adonis belt was well defined and that he was definitely gifted. 

I quickly lifted my gaze to his shoulders, broad and well tanned, and his face that held a dark and lustful look as I was looking him over. I had forgotten how small the swimsuits that Leyla and I were wearing until he was looking us over the same as we had been him. Leyla grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the pool, giving him a good view of our butts. I could feel his gaze still on our bodies and the small growl that he let out in his throat let my wolf know that he was interested in what we had to offer. 

The pool itself was a standard Olympic sized pool with blue and white tiles that sparkled slightly under the water. There was a hot tub on one side of the pool with sparkly blue tiles inside and what looked like a sauna room on the other side. All together the facilities weren't really remarkable for a fitness club, but were pretty impressive for being a pack offered amenity. 

What really stood out about the room was the glass vaulted ceilings that held muted lighting behind them, creating an almost ethereal feeling about them and the murals across all of the walls. I recognized different scenes from wolf mythology, the creation of the first wolves, the gifting of mates from the goddess, different heroes from different packs and more. One wall held a complex chart of every possible moon phase and color with words in hundreds of different languages for the celestial deity that gave us life. In the middle of the mural was an image of two wolf pups as they went through life together, each phase of their life until old age represented. 

It was beautiful and took my breath away. The entire chamber felt like it was a temple or a museum rather than a swimming pool. The amount of skill that had to go into creating the murals was astonishing. 

Rugal was smirking when I finally looked away from the murals, a hint of pride showing in his face. 

"Our pack members tend to be very artistic, they wanted to create a place that felt completely serene to come relax at the end of the night. It's beautiful, isn't it?" 

I could barely make the words come out, but I quietly replied; "Yes, it's amazing." 

Leyla chose that moment to tug me down the stairs into the pool. The cool water hitting my skin brought me back to the moment and I moaned slightly, feeling the stress of the day and the entire month fade away as the water embraced me. 

I was glad when she started to swim laps and Rugal did the same. They really did want to swim. Another time I would enjoy playing games and splashing, but right now actually swimming sounded amazing. We did laps for about an hour, each taking a portion of the pool to ourselves. Rugal's strokes were strong and precise while Leyla was incredibly fast. I found myself stopping regularly to watch them, enjoying the physical prowess that they were displaying. 

After about an hour I stopped to catch my breath in the deep end, clearing my face off with my hands when I felt Rugal's hands go around my hips, pulling me close to his chest and capturing my lips. Opening my eyes slightly the ethereal lights made me think of ancient heroes, the first wolves, and my heart ached with just how beautiful he was. His kiss was deep and possessive, his lips almost bruised mine, making them puffy and taking away my breath. 

Before I could catch my breath I was handed off the Leyla, her kiss gentler and less demanding, but her hands roamed my body, caressing my hips, brushing against my breasts on the side, tangling in my hair, and finally pulling me close behind my back. Letting me pull back slightly she gave a quiet "hey," which I responded to in kind and then pulled me to the shallow end, dragging me towards the exit. 

We took the elevator up together, Rugal holding my hand now while Leyla continued to caress my body and kiss my neck and mouth. By the time I got to the floor where our clothing was I could barely breathe. I expected them to push for more, but instead Leyla told me to take a shower, showing me where everything was located before walking out of the bathroom. 

Although I was confused, I took a quick showed and changed back into my clothing from earlier, putting my hair in a simple bun and checking the mirror to make sure that the makeup I had worn wasn't running or smudged. 

The girl who looked back at me was one I didn't recognize. Instead of the naive little girl I was used to I saw swollen lips, smoky makeup, and a sultry look I didn't even realize I was capable of making. Biting down on my bottom lip I thought I might even look a little coy. 

I walked out of the bathroom only to be grabbed by a freshly showered and clothes Rugal who pushed me up against the wall, kissing me hard and then nosing at my shoulder. Tiny growls coming from his wolf as he sniffed my shoulder set me on fire and I was almost in tears when he moved away, pulling me towards the elevator where Leyla waited. 

We went to their office, Leyla explaining that they needed to pick up some reports before heading home for the day. 

Entering the office I was took lost in the feeling of my Alphas paying attention to me to register the extra scent in the room until another Alpha spoke deep and low.  "What do we have here, a little scared wolf pup?"

The stranger was tall and had the clearest skin I had ever seen. At almost 6'4" he was evenly matched for height with Rugal. His black hair was slicked back and his green eyes would have been beautiful if he didn't look incredible cruel. His black suit was well cut and expensive looking. Everything about him screamed predator, Alpha, power. 

I didn't know what to say so I hid my head in Leyla's side, gripping onto her hand and wondering who the newcomer was. 

"Don't you want an Alpha who is man enough for you all alone?" His rumbled statement was enough to have both Leyla and Rugal growling and pushing me behind them. This was not good.
