We found a small motel on the outskirts of the city just as exhaustion was starting to catch up with us.
Th neon vacancy sign buzzed softly in the gathering darkness, casting red and blue light across the c.racked pavement outside. It wasn’t exactly luxurious, but after the day we’d had, neither of us cared.
Reika booked us two rooms next door to each other.
Once I was inside mine I collapsed on the bed.
I understood why it was so cheap.
The room was tiny.
Plain beige carpet covered the floor, the walls were painted a dull cream colour, and the furniture consisted of a small chest of drawers, a bedside table with a lamp, and a single bed that looked older than I was.
Still. It was clean.
I wanted a shower first so I got off the bed and stripped naked then walked into the shower. It felt good. Hot water pounded against my shoulders, washing away dirt, sweat, and tension. I stood there longer than I probably should have, letting the heat soothe aching muscles.
It had been months since I’d pleasured myself and I felt turned on so I started touching myself. My balls hurt from not coming for so long and it felt good as I wrapped my hand around my stiff member and moved my hand back and forth, stroking it.
F.uck it felt good.
I leaned one hand against the wall with my head down, the water from the shower running down my back. I moaned softly, feeling myself growing close to blowing my load. I worked myself faster and harder when I heard a gasp.
I turned my head and looked up.
Reika stood in the doorway and then she quickly rushed back out. Awkward.
I heard her go back to her own room.
I was too close to stop so I quickly went back to working myself in my hand and came everywhere.
Us wolves did come a lot, I wasn’t kidding, I could fill a cup to the top with my come, and half a bucket if I kept going and came again and again. We were designed for breeding, but obviously our human side let us control ourselves and use protection if we didn’t want hundreds of offspring.
I don’t think the humans would have been too pleased if they had an infestation of werewolves.
I cleaned up when I was finished and washed my hair and body then climbed out. I pulled my clothes back on and gently knocked on Reika’s door. She didn’t answer so I slowly opened it and saw her sitting on the edge of the bed.
“Did you need me for something?” I asked.
Her dark skin didn’t show her blush but I could tell she was blushing hard and was hot in the cheeks, she wouldn’t look me in the eyes and flustered she answered, “oh, no, it was nothing. I wanted to see if you were hungry and I didn’t see you so I thought you ran off, I called out but you didn’t answer.”
“Sorry. You didn’t hear the shower?”
She shook her head. “I was too busy panicking that you’d left.”
“Aww, you panicked over me leaving you?” I teased.
She blushed harder and mumbled, “no, I just meant, it doesn’t matter! I’m going to bed now, goodnight Adam.”
“Alright, goodnight darling,” I winked and she almost fell off the bed. I didn’t laugh until I was back in my own room. Shy and flustered Reika was f.ucking cute.
I laid down in bed and I swear when I next blinked it was morning, I must have fell asleep instantly. The sound of my door banging woke me up.
“f***k off!” I groaned.
The door swung open and Reika asked, “is that how you would address your alpha?”
I jumped out of bed so fast the sheets came with me. I tripped over them and fell to my knees. Scrambling back to my feet I stumbled, “f***k, uh, s.hit, I mean sorry Reika, sorry, Luna!”
She tried to stay stern but I noticed her eyes travelling over my muscular bare chest, she grew bashful when I noticed and muttered, “come on. Get dressed.”
I grinned. “Yes Luna.”
She immediately turned around and waited for me outside.
I pulled on my sweatpants and a spare grey vest top I had in the backpack Reika brought with us. My hair was a bit crazy so I tidied it up a little until it was the usual messy tousled look I did. The front fell into my ice blue eyes, with the sun shining through the window the golden moon colored flecks that ran through the blue looked almost luminous.
I joined Reika and she choked on the water bottle she was drinking from when she saw me.
“You ok?” I asked.
She nodded and quickly stood straight. “Yes, I’m fine, let’s go.”
I didn’t know what that was all about but I followed her. The air was cool, sunlight filtered through the trees when we reached the forest, while birds sang overhead.
After a few minutes I glanced at Reika. “Let’s shift and run in wolf form for a bit.”
“Why?” She asked.
“Because it’s both faster and fun.”
“Fun?”
“Yeah, we can run and play around.”
“Play around?” She asked sarcastically.
I grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the forest.
“Yes, come on you’ll see.”
We shifted to our full wolf forms and I padded out to see Reika was a gorgeous black wolf with hints of gold running through her fur, catching the sunlight whenever she moved, just like her hair.
Our eye colors stayed the same In our full wolf form, so I still had my ice blue with moon gold flecks running through and Reika’s were a warm dark brown with the normal golden flecks running through that wolves usually had. Our lycan form was the only time our eyes were different, in that form mine were an electric silver color with flecks of both gold and violet running through.
At first Reika just walked along through the forest.
Graceful.
Dignified.
Composed.
Boring.
So I joined her and roughly knocked her side. She growled so I did it again, and again, annnd again until finally she gave up and started chasing me.
We tore through the forest together.
Sunlight flashed between the trees.
Leaves scattered beneath our paws.
I ran deeper in to the forest and hid behind the trees. Reika slowed down and looked around for me. When she was in front I crept behind and tackled her to the floor biting her ear playfully, she play fought back with me, biting my scruff and using her paws to kick me off hard enough I skidded on my side along the dirt.
She snorted a laugh and I ran back to her making her run off. We played and ran like that pretty much all the way back to the pack house and when we changed back to human she came out of the bushes still laughing and breathless.
I wrapped an arm around her neck pulling her in and ruffling her hair playfully. “See, it was fun right?”
She laughed and shyly nodded, she’d been shy around me ever since she’d seen me in the shower. Andrea came out, another pack member and rose her eyebrows seeing Reika laughing and smiling.
“I haven’t seen you laugh in forever,” she said. She looked at us both and grinned, “oh I see, has our girl got a crush on the new big bad wolf?”
Reika quickly stepped away from me and turned back in to serious and fierce mode. “Not at all, I had a good run in wolf form.”
“Uh huh, sure honey,” Andrea said and walked back in leaving Reika with heated cheeks.
We followed her in and everyone welcomed us back.
I must admit it was really nice being in this pack, they treated one another like family or close friends and it felt good to feel cared about.
Sandra came and hugged me. “I missed you handsome, how was it?”
“Kind of fun actually, the vampire council are the most creepy f.ucking creatures I’ve ever seen.”
She laughed and s.lapped my shoulder playfully then made her way over and spoke with Reika next.
We settled in and Sandra along with Andrea and Harriet started making dinner for everyone.
The kitchen was one of the busiest places in the house. Large windows let the late afternoon sunlight pour inside, bathing everything in a golden glow. Pots simmered on the stove while chopping boards covered counters. Th rich smell of onions, bacon and herbs filled the air.
Back in my old pack I’d had to cook for everyone at times alongside Kaitlyn so I got up to help.
They all stared at me like I was some kind of alien.
I frowned.
“What?”
“A male werewolf actually wants to help us ladies cook dinner?” Andrea asked.
“Uh, yeah? Why wouldn’t I?”
“Wow, you omegas really are different from the dominant wolves.”
They all smiled at me and I helped them cut up the potatoes and bacon. Andrea did the onions while dramatically complaining about them making her cry. Sandra put the rice on. Harriet opened the corn beef.
She was the only white person as well as me in this pack, she had dark brown hair with dark blue eyes and was the shortest female here at five foot four. She was stunning and always wore perfect makeup and red lipstick, I think she was the only submissive wolf too. I had grown a little close to her, her submissive ways reminded me of Amy.
“Hey,” I grinned at her.
She smiled bashfully at me. “Hey.”
“What is this we are making?” I asked.
“It’s corn beef hash.”
“It smells f.ucking good.”
She giggled, “you’re always hungry I swear.”
“I know, I should be fat with how much I stuff my face.”
Sandra heard us and as a big woman herself she s.lapped the side of my head. “Watch it boy, there’s nothing wrong with being a bigger person.”
“Of course not you sexy thing.” I grabbed her, kissed her neck and slid my hands down to her hips.
“Nothing sexier than being able to grab your love handles while I’m f.ucking you.”
She laughed. “Down boy, you know I can’t have s**x with a man.”
My face softened and I stroked her cheek. “I know darling, I didn’t mean to bring any bad memories up.”
“Oh you didn’t, I’m so happy you’re here Adam, I think you’ve helped us a lot, you give me hope that not all male werewolves are bad.”
“Mm, well, maybe the dominant ones are all d.icks, perhaps you need to try a submissive guy,” I grinned.
We messed around and joked together as we finished cooking and when they were dishing up I slipped away to find Reika.
I found her in her room crying.
“Hey darling, are you ok?” I asked, sitting next to her on the edge of the bed.
She tried wiping her tears quickly and composing herself. “Yes, sorry, it’s nothing,” she tried to smile.
“Babe, it kind of looks like something,” I gently teased.
She laughed and then burst in to tears again.
I pulled her in to my arms, I’d never tried touching my Luna before, she could be scary so I wasn’t sure how she’d react but she collapsed against my chest and let me hold her.
I held her head against my chest with one hand and stroked her hair softly with the other.
“What’s wrong darling?”
I let some of my calming energy out to help her and she tried to explain but she had been crying so hard it sort of made her hiccup and snort.
“You’re not upset because you’re turning into a werepig are you?” I teased, she laughed and shoved me. “No, don’t be horrible!”
“I’m not, you’d be the most beautiful werepig ever.”
“You’re so silly,” she sniffled smiling.
“You going to tell me what’s wrong?” I asked.
“It’s stupid.”
“Try me.”
“It’s just…running a pack. I love it and I love my pack, but—” she trailed off and I finished for her, “but it can maybe be lonely, like being a single parent kind of lonely?”
She laughed but nodded. “It sounds so silly but yes, it’s lonely.”
“This is your pack and your rules right?”
She nodded so I carried on, “couldn’t you maybe share the load with one of the other females here?”
She shook her head. “It’s my pack but I’m also old fashioned and traditional, if I share it with someone I want it to be an alpha, my mate.”
I nodded. “I get it, do you not know who your true mate is?”
“No, I’ve only ever been with one man, the one who was killed, we didn’t even get to the intimate stage.”
“Oh, so you’re like…a virgin?” I asked.
She nodded shyly.
I tried to not react to that news as a male and said, “that’s cute, nothing wrong with being a virgin.”
“Men prefer a more experienced lady.”
“Uh, no babe, we really quite like a virgin as much as an experienced lady.”
She grew even more shy and tucked her hair behind her ear. She was really cute when she was just herself and not trying to be some tough alpha, well, that was hot too but I liked when she showed me her vulnerability, it meant she trusted me and I really appreciated that.
Werewolves did have a true mate, a soulmate I suppose, but it was hard to find, it wasn’t like the movies where you just looked at one another in the rain and ran happily towards one another, it was sort of like a fairytale though I guess, it’s probably where fairytales got the whole true loves kiss.
We only knew who our true mate was when we kissed them, yep, there was no other way of knowing so unless you were kissing every werewolf you met left right and center, you wouldn’t know, which made it pretty uncommon that we ever found our true mate and it was even less common because there were more male werewolves than there were females, which meant not every single werewolf had a true mate, that sucked and probably knowing my luck I was one of those who didn’t have one.
